Seahawks love fest on First Take

[salamander]

Not sure if we should be happy about this, but Skip Bayless just called the division for us saying it was already over. Gushed about the offense and Russell Wilson. Brian Dawkins called us a juggernaut.

That doesn't bode well...

Agreed. They are trying some type of reverse voodoo magic on the team. With Bayless on the bandwagon, you have one too many. Hopefully Tebow comes out of retirement so Bayless can go all out for that team.

Sometimes the amount of superstition around here drives me nuts.

 

[hawknation2014]

Is it superstition or is it the reality that Skip Bayless is wrong 90% of the time? I personally preferred it when he thought we were crap.

 

[salamander]

Dawkins' positive mojo will outweigh Bayless....I think we'll be fine.

It was funny when he declared mid season that we wouldn't lose at home last year, then we lost the Cards... and then later he picked the 9ers to win the NFC in our house...

Yes, it is better when he is not on the bandwagon.

In the shack too, for those that want to speak freely.

I wasn't familiar with the character Juggernaut, but after seeing that video, it gives Dawkin's comments even more power.

Off-topic, but that video reminded me of Sweezy. "Juggernaut" would be a great nickname for Sweezy if he keeps performing at a high level this year. What do you think?

I was thinking Small if he makes the team.

I still don't understand how First Take even exists, Bayless and Stephen A. have to be the two most annoyingly grating personalities in all of sports broadcasting..........if you can even call what they do "sports broadcasting."

I could care less what either of them say, good or bad about the Hawks..........because it's all just mindless debates in absolute terms. One or both of them throw out a matter of fact opinion like it's law, then argue about it for 30 minutes. Never any inbetween ground, which makes the show unbearable to watch.

Doesn't he have Manziel to campaign for?

As long as Pete Prisco still hates us, we'll be okay!

I find it hard to believe that even the most blatant homer doesn't fear us now.

I guess Skip has finally got. "better at life".

I think instead that Bayless (in his eternal laziness) just parrots the main stream thinking.

Meaning that even the "conventional" thinking is finally coming around to the actual reality of things. We're getting to the point where we can no longer be ignored, explained or rationalized away. This is where true respect starts. They won't be able to ignore the "little" team tucked away up there in South Alaska anymore (it's the common saying - no offense to the great state of Alaska ).

There'll always be (and I hate using this term) the haters that will never accept the Seahawks' greatness, their utter dominance. But even the great dynasties of the past have opposing fans that still don't accept their greatness.

Just a step closer to general acknowledgement. It's been a long time coming.

That's debatable.
