The title fits perfectly with the play of the Seattle Seahawks today. Seahawks lose 24/7 all day long, and it's headlined by the "Matt Hasselbeck Show".
Over the last few weeks, Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has looked worse than any quarterback in Seahawks history with his inaccuracy, inconsistency and just downright horrendous play.
In the last three weeks including today's game against the Tampa Bay Bucs Hasselbeck is 101/115 for 701 yards, 4 TD's and 5 Int's (four today).
Now overall, other than the five interceptions you might think those stats [...]

At his usual Wednesday afternoon press conference, Seahawks head coach Jim Mora Jr. made some jaw-dropping comments of what he wants this "team" to become.
Mora used two key words to answer Seattle Times reported Danny O'Neil's question. Dirt bags and nasty. Two words that really have never been apart of Seahawks football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears (Samari Mike Singletary), and maybe the Dallas Cowboys of old would be the teams headlining the list of "nasty".
However Mora wanted to make it very clear of his definition of "nasty" and "dirt bags".
He wants to see Sean Locklear shove a defensive end right on his arse when there is a [...]

What a great overall performance by the Saints!
The Saints went out to Tampa and CRUSHED the Bucs 34-7 including not allowing a point after the 7 minute mark. The Saints had a great game plan, so first and foremost great job by the coaching staff to have prepared well for their divisional game against the Bucs. Without a solid game plan, it would be like not having a solid foundation on a house or building structure you need that in order to build the actual house.
Let me dive right in to the Saints who really shined during last week's game.
First off is the Offensive Line for the Saints, they really stepped up this past week. Allowing ZERO sacks for their quarterback Drew Brees. Brees had a very efficient day not throwing a pick and not being sacked means he had time to make [...]

After a rough 1st quarter giving up 14 points the Saints defense stepped up only allowing 6 points the remainder of the game, and played well enough to get their offense on the field to score enough to overcome the Carolina Panthers who were clawing as much as possible to get back to 4-4 on the year.
This was a quality win...not a trap game like I heard some analysis say it was or would be. The Panthers need a new quarterback no question about it - that being said, after starting out 0-3 they had gone 3-1 leading up to their game against the Saints. They have talent on that team...you do not go12-4 - a year ago - without talent, good game plan(s), and solid structure.
Well the important thing is the Saints walked away with another win improving their record to 8-0...lets get into [...]

I'm not going to be a classless lout and say the Dolphins lost this game. Don't get me wrong- we played well enough to win for spurts and stretches. It was a close game, but ultimately the more talented team won. The team fought valiantly, our young players had some bright moments, but when push came to shove we once again couldn't keep up. With well over 2 minutes to go and only a touchdown needed to tie the game, we once again saw untimely drops by our sub par receivers, and an inability to run the ball even when the Patriots were set up to defend the pass. When you're up against Tom Brady and Randy Moss, you have to make all the plays you can because you know they will (a la Moss' ridiculous one handed catch with Vontae draped all over him).
Our draft needs are becoming [...]

This is a letter that I am debating sending to GM Mark Dominik- what do you think...
The State of the Bucs' Young Head Coach and Younger Quarterback....
Dear Bucs Management,
Please do not fire head coach Raheem Morris, I feel as though you need to take a look at the most successful franchises in all sports and you will find that teams that stick with their manager are perennial winners (Bobby Cox manager of the Braves, Jerry Sloan coach of the Utah Jazz, Bill Walsh former coach of the 49ers, Bill Cowher former coach of the Steelers). Morris needs time to develop his personal. You, as management, felt like Morris is the future.
Well, Rome was not built in a day, there are going to be many bumps in the road with the changes you have made with coaching and players. Specifically [...]

ME: "Oh My Goodness! The Bucs didn't lose this past weekend, YES!...times are changing, there is light at the end of the tunnel, the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining......."
Reality "WHAT!?!?!?!.......no...Michael...not exactly. The Bucs didn't lose, but that is because they didn't play.Flowers aren't blooming...it's fall, they are fading because there is less light because we just turned back the clocks...duuuuuh"
ME "crap! today is starting off just like [...]
