This was from a few pages back but wanted to respond to this.

Ugh, some of these are really bad. I can't pick and choose from any at Field Gulls...there 's just too much :smug: to choose from. Any Seahawk fans that have been over there will know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I'm one of the mods at Field Gulls. The real problem isn't the :smug: so much as it is the unbridled stupidity that goes along with the :smug:. I was around that blog during the big "Charlie vs. Matt" wars in '10, and it was as loving stupid as you'd think it was.

Things have only gotten worse since the new writer took over. I tried to put a cap on all the shitposts, but that blog moves fast, and I only have so much free time, that at this point I'm just content to let them wallow in their own poo poo.

Fellow Seahawk fans, fire away. I'm ready for any criticism.

I read it sometimes back when the John Morgan guy was doing it, he was good, but once he left I did as well. And I was smart enough to stay out of the comments, even then.


Yeah, Morgan was great. He occasionally pops up on Advanced NFL Stats but I believe he's working on a second book.

Black intellectuals should be ashamed for running D. Chappelle off TV Reply
The Oprah's and the Bill Cosby's of the world cost us about 5 years of "Belly Laughs". I miss me some Rick James.


He does realize that Chappelle quit the show because racist fans were taking his humor at face value...right? Oh wait he was one of those racist fans. Of course he still thinks Rick James is funny.

Calling the Chiefs the Chefs always got me. Is "Chef" an insult? Chefs are pretty cool, right? I mean, they cook and stuff. That's pretty neat.

Pretty sure that came from this commercial.

I knew we would get some good ol' fashioned Boston tears after yesterday, and this guy does not disappoint.

It hits all the points you'd expect: Brady is a choker, defense didn't lose the game, etc.

It also has my all time favorite :patssay: moment: The Patriots are the Colts of the 00's. "Our team is really loving good and wins 12 games every year, :qq: WOE IS US :qq:

Some guy on a Raiders board thinks they should trade Seabass. How much in return?


http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2013/4/5/4187518/trade-seabass-and-dmc


quote:

I can see Seabass being traded to Detroit for 3rd or 4th rd pick and DMC traded to Green Bay for a 2nd or 3rd rd pick. Reggie and Dennis can you the extra draft picks to fill in some more holes or add more depth(competition) to a team with alot of needs.

:catstare: I would make a Madden GM joke here but I'm pretty sure even the Madden AI would laugh at that trade proposal

What's wrong with "limp wristed" people? I broke my left wrist in flag football years ago and it's not as strong as it used to be. Does that make me less of a man somehow? :ohdear:

So the Seahawks signed Noted Rapist Perish Cox. I wonder what the Field Gulls comments have to say about it


quote:

If you do a little searching on the internet the woman who accused Cox of Rape was a video whore/ Stripper/adult magazine vixxen. She knew what was going on but was pissed when Cox nor thomas claimed the baby.

quote:

Girl goes out and gets trashed and goes home with player and has sex with player.
Then when she tells him she’s pregnant and he doesn’t want to deal with it she cries rape and files suit. Obviously not as cut and dry as you people make it out to be. In this country of money grabbing lawsuits, can you really believe everything you read? Seems moronic to me.

It came from SB Nation

Pete Carrol and the Seahawks time is coming
From what I have heard they wanted information from him about the niners and he would not give it up. It is a conflict of interest. The seahawks can continue to try to cheat but watch what happens to them come playoff time. It will be a funny sight.

The story in question


It's not only gross as hell, the post completely fails at serving its purpose. You're writing a game recap, talk about the loving game. Don't bury your lede, and especially don't bury it with a bunch of transphobic shitthatneverhappened.txt garbage. People are searching your site to find out if the Seahawks won or not and don't care about your lovely story God this makes me angrier than I thought it would.

That Seahawks blogger is a terrible writer and that whole post was a classic "but the question is, was that your signature" situation.

As bad as Kenneth Arthur is, I would hope that post doesn't totally color people's perception of Field Gulls. The blog's manager, Danny Kelly, is a pretty good writer who does a lot of great Xs and Os stuff, and his posts are worth reading.

I just wish he would kick Kenneth to the curb already.

Putting aside the obvious fantasy of Ty Law or Champ Bailey coming out of retirement, how does he expect them to arrive in football shape, learn the scheme in 24 hours, and be even remotely acceptable on the field? You'd probably get the same results from pulling a random fan out of the stands.
