drealmer7: football talk?

This is the first year in about 8 years I haven't watched any football. I just didn't have the time, energy, or interest this year. But, I must say, I hate the patriots and Belicheaterpants, I can't believe he's still allowed to coach, he should be banned from even coaching HS.

*ensueflames*
LOL this is a great post that strikes at me personally, for several reasons.

1) I too have been "off" football for a while. I actually haven't watched it in about two years, for numerous reasons I won't get into. I DID watch this game though (my father and I recently lost someone close to us, he is still a VERY big football fan and I thought making a bunch of snacks and watching "the game" with my dad was in order this year - boy am I glad I didn't decide to wait "one more game" for The Superbowl - my previous post to tinyE should let you know I thought this one was in the bag for the Pats - whoops ;) ).

2) I was a HUGE Brady / Belichick fan. Greatest QB / Coach combo of all time. But seriously, Brady has become the quintessential QB "prima donna" (VASTLY different from his early years) and Belichick is like Nixon level egotistical / shady. I HATE that everyone around here will make all sorts of lame excuses and arguements and "why us" sports whining! THEY CHEAT! Accept it - don't make excuses for it, don't use tortured logic to try and get around it, don't point out every lame little issue that crops up with other teams. It's so bad around here I swear Bill could run down an old lady at 12 noon and the media / fans here would disparage her for not being at home knitting.

Anyway, rant off ;)

Ixamyakxim: ,,,
"has become"????

how about "has always been and only gets worse"

the funny thing for me is that I've always despised Brady too, but, the past year I saw a couple things he did charity/social awareness wise and so I laid off of him a bit/didn't include him in my previous post of hateradesuckage

mistermumbles: Our west coast city had a teensy weensy bit of snow a few weeks back, and it's absolutely ridiculous how the next day almost everything shut down because of slightly icy roads. Suffice it to say, if this city is so massively ill-equiped for those few snowflakes I wouldn't want to know what would happen should we actually experience something close to a blizzard.

It's not like this region doesn't get snow on occasion, but the way people act it sure looks like it. *rolls eyes*
FWIW, people in the east couldn't drive in Seattle when we get a little snow or ice because people in the east don't have these hills. Driving to my neighborhood from downtown (about a 20 minute walk) would straight up require chains.

Got to visit your beautiful city a few months back. I can imagine how tough it gets with some ice on the roads. Most other places it wouldn't be a big deal, but - as you say - Seattle is downright hilly.
