Seattle Sucks

[Baaahb]

OK, we know it works. But you don't see members of the defensive line shouting at the quarterback, making it impossible for the offensive line to hear his signals. Why not? Because it is unsportsmanlike. Calling signals is part of the game. Seattle, you are a bunch of neanderthals. You made your point. Now STFU or the refs will start holding the game until the signals can be heard.

Really? Spend much time as a fan in a stadium? Being able to overcome that adversity shows great coaching, great play calling and a cohesive team. I don't think I've ever heard a player, ref, coach or fan bitch about a 12th man advantage as unfair. A pain in the ass yes but unfair?

Football is most definitely a sport. You might not like the beast that it has become but it's still sport.

OK, maybe "sucks" is a little harsh. I like Seattle. And they did play well. And they were getting to Brees.

Naw, it's entertainment like pro wrestling and reality shows...

Well then, Drew Brees needs to sack up.

Which he didn't do....

Have you ever been to a college or pro level football game in person? I'm pretty sure crowd noise is part of the game, too.

Anyways, this was laughed at around here:

Unsportsmanlike conduct in Seattle

Was anyone else appalled by the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Seattle Seahawks and their fans, juiced on noise, which surely creates as big an advantage over an opponent as any performance enhancing drug and which, to their shame, NFL officials turn the same blind eye they have to concussions and drugs ("Seattle states case loudly, clearly in rout," Sports, Sept. 16)?

It would be simple to fix. Seahawks players and managers would ask their fans to cease and desist, and the NFL would implement a new rule: The visiting team may stop the game when fan noise is greater than a specified decibel level, and should this rule be violated in more than three games, no home games will be played at the offending field for the rest of the season, including playoff games. Things would quiet down.

At a time when the world seems sour, sports give us a place of joy, community and hope, and to have it spoiled is a bigger loss than it seems on the surface.

Yeah, I think it's pretty funny, too. My rant was WAY better. The ref should just have the ability to hold up the game, like in Tennis. All football rules should follow from tennis.

Better yet... golf.

Nope, I was right the first time. Seattle sucks

thanks, colin

[TheWheel]

OK That sucks.
I'd bet Coach Carroll doesn't think too highly of that move.

[LightRanger]

Pete Carroll is a cheating little bitch who left SC just in time.

Also, Seattle fans would like to think they're louder than everybody else in the NFL, but it's really just the accoustics of The Clink:

Well, they don't call the Seattle fans the 12th player for nothing. Just heard that Seattle is not allowing any tickets to be sold to anyone who is not a Washington resident. Bottomline, if Kap is on, Seattle is toast.
