no respect 

# posted by josh @ 1/31/2006 10:19:00 AM

if there's been one theme of the 2006 nfl playoffs, its that the seahawks dont get any respect. every news show, every single day...no respect. and it's not just this nfl season, and its not just the nfl. every major championship of a major sport, someone doesnt get any respect. well, this no respect thing is so lame.

first of all, even if they're making the league minimum, these players have money...so shut up. and if you're a seahawks fan (or steelers for that matter), you probably dont deserve respect anyway. finally, it seems to me that this constant talk about no respect, is in fact some sort of passive-aggressive, self pitying respect in itself. so you want your respect? how about the fact that every show ever talks about how you have none, and how you're underrated. there's your respect. now shut it. media day sucks. i dont even care about this superbowl, and might not even watch it...i dont know yet. honestly...worst...game...ever.

there's your respect.

The Seahawks get plenty of respect, they were picked as NFC champs around mid season and there was a lot of talk about Shawn Alexander's huge year. Then there was talk of Tiki not getting respect and being overshadowed by Alexander because Tiki didn't get TDs. Well, NYG proved they don't yet deserve respect, but Seattle does and will show it when they hopefully whup the Stillers.

And while I don't think anyone else here cares about American football, the Canadian girl is keen for me to have people over and watch it live at 3am. I don't think she'll be up for it when she finds no one else wants to come, given my history of trying to hook up with her when I'm wasted.

Oh and tons of Swedes wear Yankees hats, just as a style they don't generally like baseball, and some wear Michigan stuff too, oh the fury that causes a PSU/Boston fan. Luckily, I'm not much of a Boston fan and the Yankees hats are much more common than the U Mich ones.

They like hockey and I think it's the second most popular after (soccer.) But not the NHL, they have international tournaments and a national league. There is some news coverage of NHL too, and NBA for that matter.
