Usually I don't give a Damn

I'm starting to think that all you need in order to be on a weekly World-Wide Leader TV show and semi-regular contributor to Page 2 is a full frontal labatomy . I don't know who Skip Bayless is and I don't care about what producer he blew in order to get with the WW leader, but if you're spewing hyperbole just to spew, well thanks for confirming my belief in the lack of credibiliy in the fraternity of national sports writing. Thankfully we have Kevin Jackson to waive the 12th man flag for the boys in Bristol.

Like the title says, living on the west coast and especially the NW you get a little de-scensitized to the incoherent ramblings of a guy that doesn't even who the f JP Patches is? However, this type of garbage deserves to be called out for a couple of different reasons: (Here's some notes to Skip if he wants to make a credible argument for not liking the Seahawks:)

*don't preface a garbage piece and a strawman argument by stating that you "love the city of Seattle, despite its seemingly daily drizzle. I love the Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium and the postcard vistas that surround you from atop the Space Needle." I could give the same praise to tons of cities that I've never been to simply by knowing the major landmarks, here goes: "Don't get me wrong, I love the city of St. Louis, the gateway arches the world-class barbeque, the underratted blues scene and the friendly hospitality...." This is hackery-101

*Cliche Alert!!!- Skip, did you just use the term "nirvana" and Kurt Cobain in the same sentence while referring to the literraly and biographical meanings of both and not the band? F'n amazing, check this out Skip for your next article: I absolutely love visiting lower British Columbia because of the many varities of Eagles that habitat there, and I'm not even talking about Don Henley and Joe Walsh's summer homes.

* "I would rather eat fish eyes than see Seattle's Seahawks in my beloved Super Bowl." I really have nothing to say, mostly because even the recognition of a statement like this is giving far too much credit to the king of hackery. note: next season they'll be playing the SB in Skip's back yard, while he prepares the half-time meals for the players

* The rest of the piece contains continued golden nuggets about a couple of different factors:

--injury factor for the Panthers: apparently he didn't get the note about the connection between the Russian Mafia and Tim Ruskell...To the Panthers: sorry that you couldn't maintain health for 18 games this season...apparently that's why they reward the best team in the conference with a first-round bye and if you're good enough you can rest your team in the last week of the Reg Season, I know this is an unfair rule, giving the team with the best record an advantage for the playoffs, and I'll make sure that Skip writes Tags to try and void it for next year.

--apprently the 26-14 loss to Jax on the road was a "thumping"...even though that was 4 months ago

--the 42-0 game vs. the Eagles doesn't count because ESPN poster boy Donovan F wasn't there

--S. Alexander is the king of fraud because he has Hutch and Jones...I'm going to try and remain calm for this...let's go ahead and take back any accolades given to any HOF RB other than B. Sanders and E. Campbell....because, guess what Skip: THAT'S WHY YOU DRAFT/SIGN ALL PRO O-LINEMAN!!!...yes Alexander has the best line in football...yes he hasn't done anything in the playoffs...all that doesn't matter, because let me give you a little football 101: it takes approximately 11 guys to execute a solid running game...12-15 if you want to count coordinators...

--oh yeah...and Holmgren can thank Reggie and Brett for his SB ring, blah blah blah...well can Montana thank his to Holmgren for his SB's?...this is the most ridiculous argument of the whole piece of sh*t article: a couple of things on this:
1) the weakest argument anyone can give regarding the NFL is the schedule and talent level

a) NFL doesn't operate like every other major sport, the talent difference between #1 and #32 is not as great as in every other league, so you ask, what's the difference between the Hawks and Texans? well
b)coaching, scouting, upper management...hmmm, these all sound like franchise elements? yes, as a matter of fact they are...but apparently if the Texans would've had Farve and the late Rev White in their collective prime, the Texans would be on their way to a SB W...who knew running an NFL team could be that easy...sounds like even Daniel Snyder could do this (sorry Goose, had to)
c) the schedule: look, I want deny that some schedules are tougher than others, but making an argument that a team isn't worthy of their status in the post-season merely because they've won every major game they needed to win up until that point is beyond absurd...don't get me wrong do I think Dallas, SD and Atlanta were better than some of the teams that made it, yes, but guess what...they didn't and it wasn't because of the schedule...it was because they didn't win the games they needed to in order to be at this point in the season...

I'll leave you with two lines from the great creator of the SB:

still say quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, living on borrowed time, got away with three more wild throws against the Redskins that could have been game-changing interceptions.

&

I still say the NFL's most overrated team belongs to the world's most underrated city. I'll miss it.

Borrowed time? is he a chemo-patient?...how does a city w/ a 2 million population become underrated?...Port Townshend is underrated...Skip Bayless is just hack-tacular.
