MOLOT:   In Soviet Russia, you not compress music, music compress you! 

That's my point, I guess.  If you actually want that scratchy tin-horn mono sound, you can add it into a super high fidelity recording, no problem at all.  But you can't ever take it out.

Yeah that.  I'd have tossed J.P. out in the woods after that with instructions not to come back until he had my spoons.

The feed was live so if you didn't get on it before about 2:00 or so PST, you probably missed that bit.   Anyway, the are estimating 700,000 people turned out for that thing.  I know those estimates are always a bit optimistic, but I've lived here my whole life and can't remember anything of that scale, ever.

I don't know what this means....

"...unmatched even by the city’s heyday when Crazy Water flowed in the South’s greatest health resort."

But flowing Crazy Water sounds like my kind of party.

Well, to dino's point, I think it's fair to say that the second best team in the NFL was the 49ers, but the NFC can only send one team.  I don't forsee a time in the next couple of years where the NFC Champion isn't going to win the Superbowl.  The Niners are really good.   Arizona caught fire the last half of the season.  Carolina is going to be great next year.     The Saints will always contend as long as Drew Brees is throwing the football.   I don't think there's a whole lot of teams in the AFC that can compete with them.   But Denver was the best in the AFC, and that offense was historically good, so that's who the 'Hawks played.

One thing I think that played into the "surprise" aspect of the result is simply how little coverage the Seahawks get nationally.   They'll cover Sherman 24/7 when he says something dumb, or Harvin when he's broken (they were 11-0 and the national media was still going on about "Can they win without Harvin?"), but the national media analysts don't really spend a lot of time looking at this team.   They knew that the defense was good, but I don't think they really took the time to look and see exactly how good they were.  The story line was all focused on Peyton Manning and the Denver "storied franchise" DNA going back to John Elway. 

A great example of this was Chris Berman on ESPN interviewing Pete Carroll after the game.   Berman wanted to make some point about the decision to defer the opening kickoff (opting to kick, rather than receive) to the Broncos, and turn it into one of those mad scientist type decisions that coaches make.    But Pete Carroll does that every game, and has for the last four years.  He never opens a game with the ball.  He'd rather have possession to open the second half.   You would think a guy like Berman would know that.  He gets paid to talk about football, but it was pretty clear that he hadn't watched a lot of the Seahawks.

Alright...  Day after.

The question is "Where does the Seahawks' defense sit in relation to other great defenses?"

This is an article that I think is a bit too hard on Manning, but gets the defensive aspect right.

Seattle, in an era of football where the rules overwhelmingly aid the offense, set defensive records and managed to stop the most prolific offense in history dead cold.

We can argue all day about final placement (85' Bears?   No-Name Defense?  Purple People Eaters?  Iron Curtain?) but "Legion of Boom" is definitely in that mix somewhere.

Wings seasoned.  Fryer heating.  Sauce hot.  Beer cold.

We are ready for launch in the Love Bunker.

Yeah, if the press isn't whining about Sherman talking too much, they're whining about Lynch not talking enough.

They should just have a random quote generator and recite from it.

Is it that you don't know what an inversion is, or that you don't understand how the tool displays that information?

Haha!

In some other universe, maybe.  In this one, I will feel bad that Peyton couldn't catch Eli in the rings department.

The only tattoo I have ever considered is a circle of 5ths on the inside of my left forearm.
