And he says he will only work for Pete Carroll.<br /><br />Anyone who thinks recruiting and surrounding oneself with top talent isn't a critical skill anywhere in life, particularly the NFL, is a talentless hack surrounded by hacks of even lesser talent than them.bleedshawkbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266841545258127850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-21349927002399283592010-01-25T15:24:53.067-06:002010-01-25T15:24:53.067-06:00Just as much evidence, if you look, that life is g...Just as much evidence, if you look, that life is great and it keeps getting better. You will ALWAYS find EXACTLY what you're looking for.<br /><br />Adversity is your friend. You will find out what you're made of and be forced to meet the test, IF you get up and do something instead of rolling over and wetting on yourself when nothing's working. Motion creates emotion.<br /><br />When severely beat down, making the effort to move forward counts more than the actual forward progress, since your willingness to fight will carry you to train and develop into becoming more productive and victorious... eventually... Which is what you're doing, Beloved Bearded One. And Our Beloved Squawks are, as well. <br /><br />Adversity will also show you who your real friends and allies (and fans) truly are. There is nothing more despicable on this earth than the sunshine patriot and the fairweather friend (and fan...). <br /><br />This is a test to see who is true of heart and strong of stomach and spine. <br /><br />Just like Mr. Allen did when he and his geek friends launched a software company out of the UW library when they couldn't afford decent equipment of their own. During a time when both the inflation rate and interest rates were kissing 20% and gas was over 6 bucks a gallon in today's money. And the Pet Rock made 9 million bucks....in every adversity is the seed of equal or greater opportunity. <br /><br />For those that shut the fuck up and attempt to do something instead of doing nothing, they will find a way because the majority of their competition is too busy whining to compete at all. <br /><br />Anyone remember the Indianapolis Dolts and the New Orleans Ain'ts? Both set records for stupidity and futility every bit as bad or worse than anything we've seen these last 2 years. One of them, the Dolts or the Ain'ts, will become Super Bowl Champion. And neither team is a fluke.<br /><br />If ever there were a time to be bullish on Your Seattle Seahawks, that time is now. ALL the main perpetrators of suckage are gone, replaced by some of the best and brightest coaches (no cap for coaching and front office salaries! - we love you, Mr. Allen!) that dumptruck loads of money can buy. And 3 draft picks in the top 40.<br /><br />And if you think this is just the ravings of some PMA pollyanna, fuck you, you whining little bitches! Grow some balls. It takes balls to be happy. Big brass ones. Especially now.<br /><br />Don't hate me 'cuz I'm beautiful, hate me 'cuz I got the balls to be happy about the direction of this team, and my own prospects, while the rest of the country is busy sniveling. About Curry being a bust. And LoJack. And Hasselbeck is done after throwing for 3,700 yards behind a 5th string Left Tackle. And "the economy sucks and there's no opportunity" when the 2009 GNP was over 14 TRILLION dollars. Even if it drops to 10 TRILLION, that's over $200,000.00 A SECOND passing from one person's hands to another. Not counting any of the underground money we all love to make and not report.<br /><br />And watch the talented and determined amongst the people of Haiti rise up, kick the incompetent fucks in charge to the curb, take over and turn that shithole into a garden spot. Just like N'Awlins is doing. And Mr. Allen.<br /><br />In summary:<br /><br />KOOL!!! AID!!!<br /><br />KOOL!!! AID!!!<br /><br />KOOL!!! AID!!!bleedshawkbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266841545258127850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-6930473106050811642010-01-25T13:36:53.772-06:002010-01-25T13:36:53.772-06:00Great post DKSB!

It's just that they are far less intense than my bond with the Seahawks. The Red Sox come within shouting distance, and 2004 and 2007 are my favorite sports memories behind the 2005 Hawks, but even the sawx are mainly a distraction for the spring and summer... <br /><br />I like the Crew in the MLS and the Blue Jackets in the NHL... but I can't say I'm emotionally invested in either. <br /><br />Of all places, I drew inspiration from Conan O'Brien to feel a bit better about the direction of things... he was spot on when he told everyone to not give in to cynicism... I hate that sort of knee-jerk fuck-it attitude, but events lately have made it harder to fight that sentiment. <br /><br />I like to think of myself as a beacon of light in the darkness... but it's hard these days.Ramona P. https://www.blogger.com/profile/12287491380049695397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-1945888342843906202010-01-23T11:36:04.496-06:002010-01-23T11:36:04.496-06:00It's too bad you're not also a Sounders fa...It's too bad you're not also a Sounders fan and an M's fan, as there's lots of light coming from their outlooks. My first sports love was the 2nd year of the Sonics, and my heart aches at their loss and their increasing quality in the midcountry wastes. But the CHawks rising will be the capper, likely with a very fresh cast of luminaries. <br /><br />As for your teaching, just lay out the facts and let them draw their own conclusions. How many of them grew up using Fox News as their national news source? Good luck, but it's your job and you wanted it.

I'm currently working a job that has me working from 10:45 PM to 7:15 AM, and every morning when I get off I'm so wiped out that I just about rear-end someone on the drive home. So I can relate with your situation.<br /><br />As for the 'Hawks, I was a little unsure about Carroll's hiring, mainly because it sounded as if he wanted to be the Grand Poobah of Everything for the team and was preparing to bring in cronies like Pat Kirwan and Norm Chow into the fold, but he's really endearing himself to the fanbase with the moves and hires he's made so far.<br /><br />As much as I disagree with our current president politically (and that's all I'll say about that), I think this whole situation with Pete Carroll has given me an insight on just how much hope and optimism can change the outlook of a large following of people. Here's hoping that optimism comes to fruition.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14140641267334822924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-51510948783749223922010-01-22T18:53:47.196-06:002010-01-22T18:53:47.196-06:00Keep your head up about the Hawks and especially l...Keep your head up about the Hawks and especially life! I'm bipolar so I understand the financial issues surrounding getting the right help, but maintaining my health has been worth falling into deeper debt. Also if God exists I don't know why he would allow an already hurting Haiti to be stricken with that tragedy either. Regardless, keep an open heart and open mind to the possibility of something more. Just like the Hawks most of us are blessed much more than we realize. Speaking of which congratulations on your new baby!KillingGoliathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005994890936039604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237610160312318565.post-83993566297480309082010-01-22T18:31:00.246-06:002010-01-22T18:31:00.246-06:00Excellent post, good sir.
