    Bill Burr's thoughts on the NFL Draft

    Because you've got to be able to laugh at yourself in this life. I can safely admit that I used to attend the draft in NYC every year, as a teenager. Now, between the random "experts" on the 2838585 blogs out there and the windbags on both major networks that cover the draft, I find the draft...

    Super Bowl XL* : Never Forget

    I know we've been wrapped up in our issues with the team and their level of play and what's wrong with this guy and that guy, etc. However, I feel like I'm not seeing enough talk about why this game was such a huge game when the schedules were released. This will be Ben Roethlisberger's first...

    This one's for you, Aros

    http://www.seafense.net/2015/01/the-beautiful-struggle-ii-nfc.html And for the rest of you who's lives Sunday's game impacted as much as mine. I had an amazing opportunity to sit with Todd, Aros, or simply the Godfather of .Net for the NFC Championship Game. It was, without a doubt, a...

    If You're Going To San Francisco

    Huge game tomorrow, no way around it! 9 years and 1 day ago, a few friends and I made the trip up to Philly to watch the Seahawks pound the Eagles 42-0. Here's hoping that 9 years and 2 days later, history repeats itself as an Eagles backup quarterback gets slaughtered by the eventual NFC...

    Anyone driving from Seattle to San Fran/Clara for the game?

    Sorry if this belongs in the 'classifieds' section, mods. I figured I'd throw it up in the main forum so that people actually see it rather than getting lost with the rest of the classifieds, doomed for 32 views and one reply from someone saying "cool story, bro." Basically, is anyone driving...

    Mo Injuries Mo Problems

    The most grueling trip in the 1 1/2 years since I decided to witness the Seahawks attempt a miracle 3Pete... 33 hours each way, on a bus, from NYC to Kansas City. After stops at Michael Robinson's alma mater, Cleveland, and the University of Toledo, it's on to the midway! Next stop, Union...

    2 trip reports for the free price of one!

    Well, I didn't see that one coming either. You know what though, I dealt with this loss better than most before, and I don't know if that's a sign of me being fat and lazy after a Super Bowl victory, hangover in full effect, or if that just means that after watching the game unfold, I have to...

    It's the size of the fight in the dog

    http://www.seafense.net/2014/09/its-size-of-fight-in-dog.html After winning the Super Bowl, this is going to be the easiest bye week to survive, ever. No longer do I have to stress the game 10 days in advance, hoping that the Seahawks will go out on the big stage in DC and show the rest of the...

    So proud of this fanbase

    I gotta be honest, during the middle of last season, I was starting to get concerned with the behavior of my fellow 12th Man. Both at home and on the road I was starting to notice signs that we were headed the way of the douche ala Cowboys, Steelers, Niners, Pats fans and all the other...

    A giant slice of humble pie

    http://www.seafense.net/2014/09/a-giant-slice-of-humble-pie.html Just got this one finished on the plane ride over from NYC to Seattle today. I was only able to finish it and post it thanks to the FedEx Kinko's on 3rd Ave in Seattle. Tomorrow can't come soon enough. Todd, I've got my faith...

    A banner day, in so many ways

    It's back, baby! Seahawks football is upon us and it's nice to see that the boys have picked up right where they left off last season, the best in the league! Last Thursday truly was a magical day. The weather was perfect, the fans were in full voice, and I got to hang with the .Net crew at...

    Earn Everything: Destiny fulfilled, Dynasty awaits

    I've tried to think of the right words to say for days now. The haze that was the last three weeks (make that six months) hasn't even begun to wear off, and I'm okay with that. In fact, I want things to stay like this forever. It all just feels like a giant dream sequence, and I know for a...

    Earn Everything: No time to sleepless in Seattle

    The moment the clock struck zero's and the Seahawks had defeated the New Orleans Saints to set up an NFC Championship Game with the Niners at CenturyLink, life became one really long dream sequence. After being grounded by reality the entire season, my mind slowly began to slip away to another...

    Earn Everything: Oh when the Saints go marching home

    I won't lie. I damn near lost my mind in the week leading up to this past week's playoff game with the Saints. As I toiled away at the grind, my mind couldn't help but keep thinking of all the scenarios that could possibly unfold. You know you've damn near snapped when you start thinking...

    Earn Everything: The mark of a champion

    Sometimes, the ball just doesn't bounce your way. Other times, the ball "somehow" bounces off the forearms of Doug Baldwin, catapults 20 feet in the air, and into the hands of a diving Arizona Cardinal defender. Regardless, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. It's all about how you...

    Earn Everything: The law of averages

    *Let me preface this all by saying, I would totally understand if nobody took the time to read this or even respond to it. Who the hell wants to rehash something like last week's game? I'm only posting this because you can't get too high after a win, or too low after a loss, gotta keep that...

    Self-fulfilling prophecy

    Crazy loss the other day, but these things happen in football and in life, yeah? Being in Seattle for the entire week, I've been able to enter the mind and the Psyche of the true Seattle sports fan. All of that hope, belief, and pride in the college navy, wolf grey, and action green has...

    Earn Everything: Racing in the Street

    It's always good to be back home. Whether you've been gone for a month, or just for a few days, there's nothing quite like that feeling of being back in the most familiar of surroundings. Whether it be the home cooking, or that corroding dive bar that you and your friends have gone to for...

    Mama said there'd be days like this

    It's Friday already (time is definitely flying) and I still can't seem to wipe away the images that are currently ingrained in my brain. Niners fans, who offered their team virtually no support whenever they were down or when things were generally uninteresting, pumping fists and high-fiving...

    I hate Phil Dawson

    Nothing personal against Phil, I respect the hell out of his career and the fact that he's been able to stick around for so long. Having said that, I hate this guy! This is about the 3rd time I can remember him being money against us, especially from distance, and him having a hand in a 'Hawks...
