So, I thought we'd blatantly borrow an idea from Bill Simmons and preview this week's game through quotes from Anchorman:
"I miss your scent....I miss your musk"...Pretty much sums up how I feel about football. And we've already got an apartment together.
"This place is run by a bunch of children"....How else do you explain the continued revolving door down at the VMAC? If there's one thing that you needed this year it's some semblance of continuity. With the shortened training camp, wouldn't it be better if you went into the first game with at least a few people being aware of your playbook?
"There are literally thousands of other men I should be with but I'm 72 percent sure I love you"....no better quote to explain Pete Carroll and Tarvaris Jackson.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield..." Wouldn't be surprised if that's said by either coach on the sidelines this week. Pete and Jim have a bit of history from their days in the Pac-10. If they were coaching teams with better talent, one might be tempted to run up the score again on the other, but since it's the Niners and Hawks, I don't see that happening this week.
"I love lamp. Do you really love the lamp or are you just saying it because you saw it? I love lamp. I love lamp". Hate to say it, but you get the feeling that sometimes that's how personnel decisions are made over there in Renton.
"I'm in a glass case of emotion!" You know Alex Smith is feeling this knowing this is probably his last shot at starting in this league.
"The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show". Not sure if Ed Hochuli is the referee for the game, but if he is, this fits perfectly.
"They've done studies you know. 60% of the time, it works every time". Yesterday on ESPN. com, they had the Madden simulator predict each of this weekend's game. Their expectation for the Hawks and Niners? Seahawks 16, 49ers 14. They're predicting 2 Alex Smith interceptions and that sounds about right to me. Few, if any, give the Hawks a chance to win this game, but I must have missed the memo that the Forty-Whiners are somehow this unstoppable juggernaut.
