Hope Springs Eternal - The release of the 2012 schedule

4/18/2012

Tuesday represented one of the greatest days on the sporting calendar, the release of the 2012 NFL schedule.  Sure, we already knew who we were playing and where we were playing them.  But the important issues such as national games, when we play in certain iffy-weather cities, etc. and being able to plan road trips weren't decided until yesterday. 

Unlike last year when we didn't get a home opener or a home closer and had to endure a 3 game road trip, the NFL was actually fairly neutral with the Hawks this year.  2 national games, 4 games that start at 10am Pacific Time, and we close the year with 3 of the last 4 at home.  Let's take a quick look at each game.

Week 1 at Arizona: One of those times where you're thankful they moved into a climate controlled stadium in Glendale.  We'll see if Kevin Kolb can continue to show why Arizona paid him way too much money. 

Week 2 home vs. Dallas:  For the first time in many years, Dallas actually has to come back up here to Tony Romo's House of Horrors.  You wonder if Jordan Babineaux still haunts him in his nightmares.  I know Bill Parcells man-boobs still haunt me at times.

An offseason rain-fueled rant against the Mariners

It's the triumphant return of the blog, even if it's not Seahawks related.  I've had all-out rants before, but never did I think that my vitriol would be aimed squarely at my first love, the Mariners.  Sure, I've always loved the Seahawks, but I grew up playing baseball and many a good time were spent with my two grandpas at M's games when I was younger.  So it is with a bit of a heavy heart and a fire in my gut that I feel it's time to unload on the latest ass-clown move coming from the management currently disgracing their position between Edgar Martinez Dr. and Dave Niehaus Way. 

As I'm sure you're all aware by now, there's a movement underway to build an arena in SODO, just south of the Safeco Field garage.  Ideally, this would house a returning Sonics team as well as a potential NHL team, and would potentially create an amazing entertainment district that could rival any other city in the country.  The Mariners response?  An open letter complaining there might be too much traffic and parking would be an issue so we shouldn't do it.  Where'd I put my tiny violin?  Oh here it is, but I can't find the bow.  Oh, Howard Lincoln's using it as the stick up his ass right now.  Ok, deep breath.  Here's why this is ridiculous.
