wayne Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Seatlle ould be insane Sunday night . Would you work Monday? From what I remmember , PDX was like the end-of-the-world when the Blazers won it all. Where you will you watch the game from? Will you totally freak out? Will there be riots? Quote
ashw_justin Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 TV sports are freaking weird, man... Quote
bcollins Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I'm watching the game from the Flying J truck stop in Blythe, California on my way back from a weekend of climbing in Joshua Tree. Anyone beat that? Barry Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Barry, when are you going to cough up those pictures of Joshua Tree? Quote
DirtyHarry Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 What game is that? World Championship cricket, of course. My money's on India. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Given our city's recent history, I'd expect some sort of uncontrolled street party along with some degree of police brutality. Quote
Winter Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Then this guy is gonna come kick your ass! Quote
fear_and_greed Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Stick and ball games are so boring. Quote
EWolfe Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'll paint my body gray, blue and green and streak down Railroad Avenue. Quote
Blake Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'll paint my body gray, blue and green and streak down Railroad Avenue. Yeah Erik, but what are you going to do that's not already a daily routine for you? Quote
bfiles Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 overpaid, spandex wearing, spraylords have a fluke shot at glory and the city is justified in going berserk? bull fighting and auto racing and mountain climbing are sports... Quote
billcoe Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 overpaid, spandex wearing, spraylords have a fluke shot at glory and the city is justified in going berserk? bull fighting and auto racing and mountain climbing are sports... Well the good news is that one of the richest men in the US, who had recently declared bankruptcy in pdx so he could weasel out of debt he assumed for the Rose garden arena, can make more money on all the people who will be running around with official jerseys and other official merchandise. In my ideal world, Seattle wins but Paul Allen loses. Quote
robert Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 In my ideal world, Seattle wins but Paul Allen loses. Wow, things are different in Seattle than they are in Portland. Up here we love Paul Allen. If it weren't for him they would be the Anaheim Seaducks. Our vitriol is reserved for former owner Ken Behring. Owners aside I am just excited to watch a major team from my city play for a championship for the first time since I was four. Quote
Geek_the_Greek Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I don't know about love, but many of his wrongs are forgiven in my books by his donations to KEXP. Quote
Distel32 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'm watching the game from the Flying J truck stop in Blythe, California on my way back from a weekend of climbing in Joshua Tree. Anyone beat that? Barry I'll beat that! I'll be in Beijing and normal chinese cable doesn't have ESPN, but my brother found a bar near his apartment where we can watch it....at 6:30am. suckers! pre 7am bar entering is totally aid, but I don't care. Beijing ETA: 53 hours Quote

He bilked us (the taxpayers) into buying him a stadium that he could make boatloads of money off. Do I have a problem with him making money? Absolutely not, but I shouldn't have to pay to help him out. Quote

He bilked us (the taxpayers) into buying him a stadium that he could make boatloads of money off. Do I have a problem with him making money? Absolutely not, but I shouldn't have to pay to help him out. I should have been more precise. Seahawks fans love him. Plenty of people were pissed about the stadium. I was not one, but there were plenty. I actually support tax payer assistance in sports facility construction. I believe that they are good for the area both financially and emotionally. Sports teams bring people together in a positive way. I do think that the Seahawks made one almost altruistic financial gesture this week. They chose not to show the game on the stadium big screen. They said it would not be fair to the neighboring establishments who have helped fund the stadium with increased taxes. Quote
EWolfe Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Mike Holmgren's Theme: "Finish The Climb": He gave each of the players a carabiner earlier in the season, and has told them that the Superbowl is akin to "the last 20 feet of the climb" I wonder if it was an oval I knew there was a reason this was posted to the Climber's Board!

Toast Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I don't know about love, but many of his wrongs are forgiven in my books by his donations to KEXP. Donations? C'mon Geek, Allen bought that station with cash. There's a lot of good that's come with it, but KCMU's soul as community based radio was sucked out in the process. While it fights a good fight against the Clear Channel, it's more mainstream than it's ever been. I'm not about to pat paul Allen on the back and thank him for that. Quote
