    I prefered Mebane's truffle shuffle, but thats because its rare a fat guy gets to have camera time outside of being told by his too hot wife he doesn't understand something basic.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    A little tepid, but I think this is the first current Washington professional football player to say they need to change the name. DeAngelo Hall is your winner.

    The design also might be copy righted or whatever you do for building design.

    I'm pretty sure if you put 50,000+ sports fans from anywhere and explicitly encourage them to be as loud as possible at specific moments, you will get the exact same thing.

    98.5% of the credit for Seadderall's home-field advantage goes to the architect, not the fans.

    Honestly I really hope they don't replicate the noise-amplification in other stadiums. It's one thing to have a home-field advantage, and it's another to have an annoyingly overbearing (and artificial) effect on a game. When you start generating enough sound to permanently affect hearing, let alone creating earthquakes, I think that crosses the line. Might as well just give fans little nerf dart guns and let them shoot at players. Or use laser pointers and shine them into players' eyes.

    You know what one tiny little inconsequential thing bugs the shit out of me?

    Whenever a website or tv show uses the Seahawks logo, but with the old color scheme, like the off turqouise colors.

    I feel like the new colors and uniform are just as much an identity of the new team as Richard Sherman or anything else, so everytime I see our logo with the old colors it's like the media is saying "hey seattle, look, we're finally paying attention to you and your team, we even go the logo right."

    I would never have thought that you could make neon green work in a uniform, until I saw the Nike overhaul.

    I agree, I mean they changed the logo for a reason and the media would never screw up an east coast team like that. Well aside from the bills, but lets be honest we don't have to worry about a bills logo in national media at least until they fuck up their 2014 draft picks.

    Personally I still think the old seattle colors are better.

    But i'm a fan of a more old school timeless look and I long for the day the eagles go back to kelly green and this eagles.gif logo. Even the Sixers are back in their old way better uniforms! Come on Eagles, you're the last holdout in this stupid city!

    Also, let me be the first to say that "Seachicken" is the single dumbest thing i've read all day. Way to go Caltrain.

    I'm pretty close to as far as possible as one can be while still remaining in the same country, so no not really. Apparently for the best if that's all they can come up with.

    Heh, yet another Bay Area football fan crying about crowd noise.

    Uh, I'm not crying about it. I'm calling it what it is. If Candlestick had the same acoustics, I'd admit that it constituted an artificial advantage.

    It's like making fun of someone for pointing out that the Nuggets have an advantage because they are used to playing at a higher altitude, except that's a natural advantage. Actually, it'd be more like having the Cavaliers design their arena so that it mimicked high-altitude conditions all season.

    It's kind of cute how you resort to name-calling, though. Almost like you're insecure about the fact that your team isn't as good as they seem to be or doesn't get as much respect as they should because of their home-field advantage.

    Seriously, you can't scream about how awesome it is that you generated an earthquake or set the record for the loudest.place.ever and then turn around and laugh about people who point out that 160+ decibels is well above the level shown to cause permanent hearing loss. It doesn't strike me as all that far from shining a laser pointer into someone's eye to permanently affect their vision. In that case, having the players wear sunglasses would be similar to telling them to put on ear plugs.

    Not everyone can play in Denver either, like there was a guy with a condition in the NFL and I forget what it was, but its a common thing and he can't play at that altitude the first time he did he lost his gall bladder and spleen.

    So I'd say Denver has more of an advantage with their altitude than Seattle does with their noise.

    Really, "bay area fan" is a insult now? Particularly after you used "Seadderal" in your initial rant? This is the inane shit you read in ESPN comments.

    I like how all of you guys are ignoring my main point but want to harp on the "name-calling". Because asking someone if they want more cheese or saying they're crying isn't technically name-calling, and doesn't imply anything derogatory.

    It's like the only response you can come up with to a reasonable point about your stadium architecture is "HAHA CRY MOAR". :p

    Also, Seadderall is hilarious, just admit it. Seachickens is kind of lame but it's an oldie and will probably never go out of style.

    I think though that Inquisitor would claim that's a natural advantage. That's just part of the environment, not a man made advantage. Also, it's something that the visiting team benefits from as well.

    I think there's a little bit of a difference between the garbage field of the redskins that is a safety hazard and some hearing loss from playing in the Clink.

    The new Niners stadium is being designed so that wind will actually blow into the stadium. So basically like Candlestick except intentional.

    Also, my favorite insult is the "Seattle GO THE FUCK BACK TO THE AFCs". :P
