Marmot whisperer, wannabe pro skier, #embracethecold, reader, probably built some software you use (sorry!), and sometime NFL mis-prognosticator.
Well, hell. Kinda what I suspected - the Rams are a very good team and giving up 3 INTs isn’t going to get it done. Seahawks D had no pressure on Stafford but stuffed everything else within reason. Offense needs a bit more Darnold looked a bit skippy in the pocket in 2nd half

Take the L, back to it
The Rams are tough this year. I won’t mind a loss for the #Seahawks as long as it’s competitive. That could set them up for a better showing later in the season or playoffs. Learn a little and get the media off the hype train.

But a win would be nice :-)
#Seahawks prediction this year? 9-8 and maybe sneak into a playoff spot. The defense will be very good, maybe even top 5. The offense will be vanilla and likely start okay and then decline as teams scheme against it and there is no response. Lots of low scoring games.

Hoping for more O of course

Well hell - Easley was an absolute monster. He could run, hit, and cover like anyone. A true legend. I was so sad when he retired early.

#seahawks 45
Kenny Easley, a Pro Football Hall of Fame member and a legendary former Seattle Seahawks safety, died Friday. He was 66.

Easley’s career was cut short due to kidney failure after seven NFL seasons. As one of the most productive and decorated safeties, he earned the nickname “The Enforcer.”

First for me, DNF on a Bernard Cornwell #book, Excalibur, I slogged through the first 2 books in the trilogy but just couldn't care... the world / history is fine but I just couldn't find the spark in this series.

Excalibur
In The Winter King and Enemy of God Bernard Cornwell demonstrated his astonishing ability to make the oft-told legend of King Arthur fresh and new for our time. Now, in this riveting final volume of T...

I mean what’s next? Max decides to drive with one hand only to up the degree of difficulty? Use only three tires at a time?

What a crazy drive, must be disheartening for every other driver at some point (But kudos to Kimi for holding onto #2 )
Pit lane start? ✅
P3 finish? ✅
Another brilliant Verstappen performance? ✅
One of the greatest drivers in the history of #F1? ✅
Oh & one of the greatest circuits in the history of F1, too? ✅

If you ignored the score and watched you’d see the Cardinals driving down the field.

I often wonder if NFL teams just aren’t built for blowout wins i.e the things they do to scrap and fight aren’t sustainable with big leads. Not sure what the data says about that. #Seahawks weren’t Prevent D either

Another day and the NFL continues to make it impossible to steam #Seahawks football. Paramount+ doesn't offer the game near me (although they sure do love to advertise that they do).

Fubo is not taking payments at the moment, lovely, nice work folks.

Gorgeous day for a #hike. A little chilly out but we clearly need a lot more snow. Everyone needs to up their snow dance moves! #embracethecold as I truly didn’t want to leave the couch this morning but glad I did.

Cold wind for the hike sure made the eventual Cheba Hut Midwest Club that much better. 7/17 on the list. #enjoyeverysandwich

Listening to Churchill's account of WWII. New to me is that FDR offered to broker a meeting with England, France, Germany, and Italy to calm things down in 1937. Chamberlain turned him down.

Maybe nothing changes but wow... 1/

It’s a side note but TIL the human body produces formaldehyde.

Apparently it’s used to create amino acids and DNA. Winds up broken down into CO2.

How cool is that?
Toxicology principle that needs to be mainstream:

The dose makes the poison.

That’s true of everything. Water. Oxygen. Vitamin A. Vitamin D. Aspartame. Formaldehyde.

A single pear contains 120 times MORE formaldehyde than what might be in a vaccine.

Welp… what the Hawks are doing now used to be called “smash mouth football” ie just winning on the line. Rushing 4 and causing havoc. On O protecting the QB.

Weird. Nothing fancy.
A bit worried about this #Seahawks game tonight. Commanders have some talent, Daniels is back, and the national media is picking up that the Hawks have some talent; nothing says upset like the national media jinxing us.

Go Hawks!
I missed the #Seahawks game today but happy to see them finish up what sounds like a bit of a dull game. Nothing wrong with a nice, dull game sometimes. No one needs 15 inning nail-biters right now.

Seattle Seahawks entered today at 3-2 with 43.5% DVOA. Now they are 4-2.

The 2015 Arizona Cardinals are the only team since 1978 that had over 40% DVOA at 4-2.

Both the Bears and Bengals are so bad they should be relegated mid-season.

And if the NFL doesn’t do relegation then they should start now.
As an #AARPAthlete I’m here for Joe Flacco’s MVP run.

Good lord, the Bengals?!?

Oh my, Jordan Love just threw into triple coverage. And under threw it. One of the worst passes I’ve seen this year #nfl

As always - I don't care if it's standard or daylight saving - can we please please stop changing the f***ing clocks twice per year.

Just pick one. Or split the difference, who cares. Just stop.
It’s our latest sunrise of 2025! 7:28a sunrise in Denver this morning is our latest of the year.

After the clocks get pushed back tonight, it’ll be a 6:30a sunrise tomorrow morning (with a 4:56p sunset).
