Was just gonna make a thread about this....I'm totally disappointed in it. I thought they were gonna play the video of the game straight through....didn't realize it was gonna be cut to crap and interspersed with commentary. Bummer. Plus this hotel TV looks like $hit. Nice 37" LCD and the video looks like youtube. Way to go Westin! Great job appointing the room...horrible execution of employing it.

Has Artie Donovan been on? Crime if they don't have some comments from him...he used to be on a Colts and then Ravens Saturday cable show in Baltimore....man he was hilarious. Great stories about Weeb, playing for the Colts & living in Baltimore among the fans. Most of the team, IIRC lived close to Memorial stadium and it was nothing to see them out in the streets throwing a football around with the neighborhood kids.

I still think it sucks that they're not showing the full "remastered in HD" game...that was the understanding I had for this tonight....did they ever say they were gonna chop up and discuss the game in their promos? I never got that impression...seemed to me they were saying they were gonna broadcast the game.

ah that's a crock of poo! that ISN'T the way they promo'd it. All we've heard is how they remastered it in HD and it's so awesome...and all the ESPN jerkoffs announcing college basketball and football games this past week have been sure to talk it up. Fukers. I hate ESPN more and more every day.

NFL network for football

NHL network for hockey

MLB network (soon to be) for baseball

Basketball I couldn't give a poo less about so ESPN can have it. That's all they talk about on Sportscenter anyway.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
