500 by 8….

The Mariners won today. Again. IIRC this is the 8th time this season that they’ve hit the .500 mark in the team record. But every time they hit the mark, they immediately lose. Maybe this time they can win some more. Because, it would be nice for them to make it to the post-season again. Since the last time they’ve gone to the playoffs, both the Seahawks and the Sounders FC have made it to the playoffs, and in fact they’ve won it all. Actually come to think of it, the Sounders FC have always been in the post-season. Every season since they’ve been in MLS… Now if only King Felix can stay healthy…..

The Lions are coming!

The Seahawks won today. 3 weeks ago, they won the NFC West division. As division champions, they get to have at least one home game during the playoff. And with Green Bay beating Detroit tonight, the playoff schedule is set. The Lions come to Seattle.

I just hope the Seahawks can get it together. They definitely have the talent. But the talent needs to work together. Each week that I’ve watched, there has been at least one aspect that has had issues. Usually, the rest of the team has been able to pull it through, but there were times when they couldn’t. It’s now do or die. Win or go home…

Blown out yesterday….

The Seahawks were blown out yesterday. 38-10. But they’re still atop the NFC West. And in fact they’re the only team with a winning record right now. But the Sounders FC won it all Saturday night (on the road even), so I don’t mind this loss that much…

Anyway, my weekend has come to an end, and so I must retire for the night.

On a business trip….

The Seahawks just gave Tom Brady a well-deserved beating. On the road. Tonight, we interecetped Tom Brady, and sacked him twice. And for once, the officials didn’t mess up the calls….

Football, football, and more football

Day 2 of three days ina row off. And I’ve spent most, if not all of it watching football. First, there were both the U Dub and Moo U massacring their opponents. Then today, I had the TV on CBS all day, watching the double header. And tomorrow, it’s the Seahawks in the CLink verses Buffalo. I’d watch the Raiders game on Sunday Night Football, but I’m going to switch to the other football: it’s round two of the Sounders FC match with Dallas. But hey, soccer is called football in Europe, so it’s still football….

So, it was a tie last night….

The game last night was a tie. Ties don’t happen that often in the NFL, but they’re possible. Before you go criticizing the Seahawks for the non-existent offense last night, just remember that the defense was on the field for over 40 minutes last night and didn’t yield a touchdown…

Note to the kickers: try to put the ball between the uprights, not to hit the uprights themselves….

Sunday

Football season started Thurday of last week. Cam Newton got his bell rung. Seriously. I saw the game, and there several times when he should’ve been pulled from the game for his own safety. The NFLPA and the NFL are reviewing the incedent. As much as I like to make fun of certain quartberbacks, nobody wants to see people get hurt. Except for Tom Brady getting an Atomic Wedgie….

But today, the Seahawks are playing the Miami Dolphins. At the CLink. Something tells me the Dolphins are in trouble….

Get out your brooms!

The Mariners swept the A’s today. As you can tell, I’ve been watching a lot of The New World Order (Mind-Control Division), as well as the Stanley Cup playoffs, on my vacation.

Currently, the Mariners are on top of the AL West standings. And they’ve won every series since going 1-5 in their first homestand. Let’s hope that they can keep it up. The Seahawks  and the Sounders FC routinely make it to the post-season. In fact, the Seahawks won it all in 2014, and the Sounders FC have made it to the playoffs every year that they’ve been in MLS.

So now football season is over

So now that football season is over. Sure, there are still a few games left, including a Super Bowl. But the Seahawks aren’t going to be a part of it. Though I should also add that I made it a point to thank HR at work for giving me Sundays off during football season.

Tonight there will be no Sunday Night Football. I suppose I could Hulu Thunderbirds, South Park, or I could Netflix.

But I shall do none of that. Tonight, it’s turn off the computer and watch 300.

It’s over…

The Seahawks season is now over. I think we did good during the last game to come back from 31-0 to lose 31-24 to Carolina. But it’s now on to other things. Like the Sounders FC and the Mariners. Spring training is only a few weeks away, and they’ll do better than last year. I hope. The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) is always unpredicatable. And the Sounders FC are always perrinial play contenders….

Off to Carolina

The Seahawks just beat the Vikings 10-9. Now it’s off to Carolina next week. They won on a missed chip shot field goal.

But it’s off to Carolina next week. A rematch from week 6. The Panthers lost only 1 game in  the regular season. Let’s make it 2…

We’re off to Minnesota

The Seahawks are off to Minnesota. They got into the playoffs a couple of weeks ago, but I was too busy to write about it (something about having to wile my phone twice). And then there were the holidays and all.

So we’re off to pillage the Vikings. We’ve been there before this year. And we’ve beat them soundly in Minnesota. I just Beast Mode will be back…

The weekend has begun….

It is Sunday now. The first day of my weekend. I have today and tomorrow off, then I work two days, then I have 3 days off (work is closed for Christmas day, and I’m taking vacation for Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas). While most full-time employess at my job are gettint 32+8 (meaning they’re working only 4 days this week and getting paid for Christmas, as it is a company holiday, and we’re closed that day. But I’m scheduled an extra day this week. I went to HR, and I was told that I’m one of the few who are scheduled for 40+8 this week. Ok. I can deal with this. I’ll just have to make do with the extra 8 hours’ pay in my next check. I can deal with it. It is nice to know that I’m that important to the workplace in the eyes of management. Though in my opinion there are others at work that are just as good as me, if not even better, and they’re not getting the same recongition…..
First thing’s first. Cable guy was out here at ten this morning. Long story short, I now have a working DVR with Xfinity X1. But there will be more on this later…
Next up be to watch Johnny Football get his ass handed to him by the Seahawks. Then there’s a Sunday Night game…
Tomorrow’s agenda will be to finish up Christmas shopping. And to bring the laptop up to my former employer and help him set up a couple of presents that he’s getting for his kids. And to finish mine. The big family reuinion we do out christmas gift white elephant style, but still, I want to out some effort into it…

4 in a row...

The Seahawks are now 8-5. The Vikings got their heads handed to them last week. And the Ravens got the well-deserved beating this week as well. If the season ended right now, they'd be in the playoffs. Let's hope they keep it that way....

A winning record….

The Seahawks finally got a winning record today. Defeating Pittsburgh 30-39 today at the CLink. What has happened this season is when the Seahawks get to .500, they immediately go and lose at least two games. Which they then win again. Then they’ll lose again. But the streak is over. They won today.

They also won recently against the Forty-Whiners. At home. If they had lost that one, then there would have been calls for Pete Caroll to commit seppuku….

Another season is over….

The Sounders FC were in the playoffs. Notice how I used past tense. After winning the game at the Clink, they had to go to Dallas (in the MLS playoffs this year, the second round at least are in a round robin format). And they lost. By the exact same score, which means that based on aggregate goals, they were tied. And so it went to overtime. And they were still tied after overtime. And so they went to penalty kicks, which Dallas won.

So, the Sounders’ season is over. But every year since they’ve been in MLS, they’ve been in the playoffs. Something the Mariners and the Seahawks can’t say they’ve done. Though, I’d say that the Seahawks still have a chance…

We’re Average! We’re Average!

The Seahawks won today, 13-12.This was the second win in a row. ANd in fact it was the second win on the road. There has been much improvement. First of all, we now have an offensive line. And we are finishing games. All 4 games that Seattle has lost this year have they have had the lead in the 4th quarter, but they just couldn’t finish it. It was a little bit scary at half time when Ricardo Lockette was sretchered off the the field. They said it was ‘just a concussion’, but ‘just a concussion’ is still pretty serious. I remember Jim McMahon leading the Chicago Bears (with the Super Bowl Shuffle). Now he has dementia from all those head shots. Bernie Kosar (from that same era), sounds like a drunk, but it’s from all those shots he took. But he’s not paralyzed, and he’s not dead.

For the first time since they’ve been in MLS, the Sounders FC have gotten past LA in the playoffs. Although last year, it was San Jose who sent them home. Anyway, they’re past California. They’ve been in MLS since 2009. And they’ve been in the postseason each time. The Mariners can’t put a winning season together. Unless King Felix can work 163 games straight….

Another week….

Another week, another 4th quarter meltdown. Last week, the Seahawks had a 17 point lead in the 4th quarter and let it go. I thought I could let it go, as it was an away game and all…

But then today, they had the home field advantage (the 12th Man is a definite factor), and a lead in the 4th quarter again. And they still lost to Carolina. And take a wild guess about who lost this week…

But on the bright side, Beast Mode is back.

How does Russell Wilson take his eggs? Scrambled…

They just stunk today….

The Seahawks lost today in overtime. After they had a 17 point lead in the 2nd half. They had this game. And they lost. Back when Holmgren was the head coach and the ‘Hawks were going through Dire Straits, I thought that a pillory should be erected at the CLink for him. Maybe the same should be set up for Caroll…

The season ended for the Mariners recently. And they’re on there way to Shit-Canning McClendon. I kinda liked him. Under his leadership last year, we actually had a winning record. Maybe next year, they’ll be contenders in The New World Order (Mind-Control Division)….

Way to go Seahawks….

Ok, the Seahawks finally won today. Shutting out the Chicago Bears this season. 26-0. Though it was done for the most part without Beast Mode. But here’s to a speedy recovery.

The Science Channel has been showing Dirty Jobs reruns recently. The series was cancelled some 3 years ago, but I still find it entertaining. Especially the word ‘poo’.

Since I’ve installed Windows 10 on my tower, I’ve discovered that I can use my keyboard and mouse to control my phone, when I pair it with my tower via Bluetooth.

I should also add that this wasn’t my first experience with Windows 10. About a month and a half ago, I installed Windows 10 on my laptop. It makes for a pefect back-up when my tower is down. It’s also prety handy to reset the lexmark printer (which being normally setup for network only, is set up without a compter nearby)….

My younger brother is away till Wednesday. Which means I’m watching TV out in the living room. On his TV. Yes, I have a bigger set in my room, but there is something about watching football from the living room couch….
