To rate the '95 Edgar double to spring "junior Griffey" as he put it, over Sunday's Seahawk game in terms of the greatest moment in Seattle-sports history. That guy should have burned to the ground right along with the "Journal American".

What is it with Seattle journalists/show hosts (Thiel, Gas, Groz, Mitch, Kelly etc) and their boners for the M's? The M's have not 1 fucking significunt moment in the top 5.

Why? Is it because they all came from baseball towns back east?. Anybody?

Thiel has been around for 30 years and he calls Jr "junior griffey"? WTF, maybe Jude has a chance in this town.

    Lots of wannabe-intellectual dumbfucks, Thiel included, get off by taking a contrarian position on what should be an obvious choice. In their eyes, their enlightened perspectives are bringing something ingenious to the table that the plebeians would never consider.


    Junior Griffey? Wow, how clever and unique of you, Art.

    What a pretentious piece of shit.

    You can start by taking this bullshit to the M's board.

    The guy is named Art. What did you expect? Another classic wet water take. The Mariners suck and are the only thing in town for beer bellied baseball tards like you. How long did that take you to figure out?

    J, its a football post. Again, post when you have something constructive. You're the only postess here that pulls this shit. Only one!!!! Back to the arcade crowd with ya. You can play with running computer screens all day long with all your little greazy-haired butt buddies.. Until you act like a man, im banning you from my threads. And BTW, chicks dont dig little squeaks like you J. I assume you've already figured that out out? (which is why you're here antagonizing the grown ups)

    I generally like Thiel (compare him to Jerry, Jerry) but yeah, he can be a pretentious douche. Yesterday was bigger than the ALDS.

    The Moroners are a fucking joke. Take away 1995-2003 and their record is really abysmal. I pretty much have the same attitude toward them as @PurpleBaze‌ has toward the Seahawks. The Jap owner needs to sell to an owner who gives a shit, and all their pussy marketing needs to diaff. I'll root for them but it would take 5-10 years of commitment and winning for them to win me back as a passionate fan.

    And in a bit of irony the M's will be a player in '15. Maybe why Thiel has a baseball bonio? But how was ANY sports moment better than yesterday? Nothing close !

    If you put any Mariners moment in your list of sports memories, you should take a sulfuric acid bath. Exactly what the puppy was talking about (even though we all know he is a die hard M's fan in the closet).

    Too late J. You've already buttfuckered the thread. get the fuck gone!

    Seattle buttfucking Denver was not a moment. It was a game. A cool result for a Seahawk fan but not a real climactic game nor did it have a single moment that I really remember.

    The 1991 UW football season was just that...a season. It wasn't a moment. There were some great moments to consider. Beno going to the house against Cal and/or USC might make my list of five in fact I'm almost sure one of them would.

    Lynch's "beast mode" run should be on a lot of lists. It might make mine.

    The 1995 playoff series with the Yanks had a lot of memorable moments and might have been one of the most entertaining baseball series ever played. That double was the crowning moment to an already intense series and game. I don't see the need to tear it down, even if it was ultimately fairly meaningless with the way they fell flat in the ALCS.

    That Seahawk game yesterday definitely has one or two plays that would make the list. I won't argue that. I'm only a casual fan of the Hawks and the NFL but I came out of my chair a couple of times.

    Seattle buttfucking Denver and Manning doesn't make the list?

    Son...
    That whole game was a new level.

    But sphincter pinching, holy shit moments ...

    Minus the Super Mario pose ... to me that was just funny as shit. Until Polk ... he was my favorite Husky.
