Slog - Comments on Obligatory Sports Post of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/obligatory_sports_post_of_the_day First, the bad news: Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will miss his third consecutive game, coach Mike Holmgren said on his radio show this morning on 710 AM (KIRO). That means Seneca Wallace will start his second straight game, in San Francisco on Sunday. If Seattle loses, it will be 1-6 for the first time since 1992, a year the Seahawks finished 2-14. I think I've figured out why the Hawks' season is as fucked up as Willis McGahee's eye: God's wrath. Mack Strong already got his ass smote last season.

Yet some Seattle sports fans still believe in God?

This is a blue town and we don't like it when you shove your republican politics in our face. I am still a Hawks fan but I don't care if you ever play here again. Go Seneca!

Hasselbeck should be traded to a more robust team, so that his talents don't get squandered any more. I thought the Pats should have picked him up when Brady got hurt.

You don't have to be from Chicago, but it helps.

A confirmed liberal who used to tease Purdue coach Joe Tiller about his leanings toward President Bush, Orton nowadays keeps his convictions a little closer to the vest as he strives to separate the personal and professional aspects of his life.

"Football's a job, and it's best to just stick to work and leave everything else out of it," Orton said. "I've learned to do that stuff with my friends and family and leave it at that."

Orton HAD a neckbeard. He HAS a 91.4 qb rating and a 4-3 record. Your QB, on the other hand, has a man crush on George W, a 1-5 team, and a vapid sister-in-law.
