Actually, they're only favored by 10 or 10.5 depending on where ya look. That trip to the north-west is a great equalizer, and I personally don't expect the Saints to just roll over them. If the Seahawks can keep it close in the first half, I think they can frustrate the Saints and make it quite interesting. Watch 'em lose 35-0 now that I've said that...

Or even if you have! It's been a while since I've seen them, and all the episodes feel "fresh" to me. I'd forgotten just how good it was... and that Christina Hendricks pops up in not one, but two episodes! Younger, slightly slimmer, but still oh so buxom!

Seattle Coach Pete Carroll: Seahawks Only Need 3 Losses To Reach Super Bowl RENTON, WA—Just a day after Seattle became the first team with a losing record to make the playoffs, a jubilant and confident head coach Pete Carroll announced that the Seahawks were only three losses away from reaching the Super Bowl. "Not only am I sure this team can lose the next three, but we're going to go to Arlington, lose to whatever team they put in front of us, and bring home a Super Bowl trophy to Seattle," Carroll told reporters during a press conference Monday. "The question isn't if we are going to lose, but how much we are going to lose by. I'm predicting 40 or 50 points." "This is our year," he added. Citing two early-season wins, Carroll, who gave his players the week off to prepare for the Jan. 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, admitted to previously having doubts that his team could lose enough games to make a playoff run. "Sure, we got off to a rocky start there, and yes, I was concerned when we beat a division rival in the 49ers, but we never won more than two games in a row after that. And now here we are, just a handful of games away from playing to lose it all," Carroll said. "The turning point in our season was definitely being blown out by the Giants in week 9. That's when I knew this team was Super Bowl material." "To be honest, I was worried when we won that last one," said Carroll, adding that he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines when, despite their best efforts, his players defeated St. Louis in the final game of the season. "But when I realized that New York and Tampa Bay had both won too many games to make the wild-card round and that we had slipped by, I went out of my mind. Just three more losses to go, and trust me, this team has what it takes to lose those games." Carroll maintained that while the Seahawks did not rank dead last in the league in any statistical category, their poor overall team performance had earned them a spot in the league's postseason. "Marshawn Lynch, our top rusher, only gained 573 yards this year, plus we only had one receiver go over 750 yards," Carroll said. "That was Mike Williams, who had 751. And people said he wouldn't work out for us." "[Quarterback] Matt [Hasselbeck] did throw for 3,000 yards before becoming injured, it's true, but that's water under the bridge," Carroll said. "I still would have started him against St. Louis if he'd been healthy. Matt and Charlie [Whitehurst] both give you an equally good chance to lose the game." The habitually upbeat Carroll became agitated, however, when reporters began to question whether he had a complete understanding of how the playoff system worked, and whether, by extension, he misunderstood the entire structure of the NFL. "Listen, I know what you're trying to say here, and maybe 7-9 isn't the losingest record anyone's ever posted, but face it—we're still playing when other teams aren't," Carroll said. "So we must be doing something right. Remember, no matter what my college coaching record was, I lost plenty of games with the Jets. Plenty. Do I have to remind you that the Seahawks lost three of their last four games?" Carroll went on to say that he was "beyond confident" his team could lose to the Saints on Sunday, citing the New Orleans' strong 6-2 road record as reason enough not to worry. "I wouldn't be surprised if we were shut out three games in a row in this year's playoffs," Carroll added. "I know they say it's impossible, but trust me, if any team can do it, the Seahawks can." --------------------------------------------------- Onion Sports Network

From Dave Meniketti via the Y&T messageboard: http://www.meniketti...ead.php?t=33058 The Passing of Phil Kennemore It is with profound sadness and disbelief that I tell you that my best buddy for 37 years passed away this morning, January 7, 2011 at 1am at Stanford Hospital. Bravely and steadfastly battling the horrible spectacle of lung cancer, at the end he was surrounded by his family members, and the Y&T family up until his final breath. All the beautiful things that I could say about my buddy Phil could never be summed up in a short sentence or two, and I promise that I will be back to say so much more about how I feel about him and his talents in due time. But for now, at 3am, after just having returned home from his passing, let me at least put this out there. Phil Kennemore was not only a sweet and passionate man with his life, friends and family, but as an artist, he also had that rare ability to say what was on his mind with the most eloquent, clever, and to-the-point lyrics, yet could turn it on it's head in a second with some other viewpoint on reality and nail the point dead center. He was able to do what very few can - say the things that others have been thinking, but could never quite seem to put into words. He has always had a keen knack for doing that. As a musician, with those huge fingers, his bass playing was always loud, strong, and deep, filling the largest or smallest of stages equally. He had an amazingly strong life force that has influenced everyone who ever had the opportunity to be called a friend of his. I am forever grateful for our lifelong friendship, that was always in place throughout the worst and best of times. I will miss his sense of humor, his amazing wit, but most of all I will always miss not seeing him to my left on the stages I will play from this moment forward. Yes, he was one of the class guys on this planet, and in this business, and I will always do what I can to spread the legacy of Phil Kennemore across the globe on every stage that I land on. You know how much I love you Phil, and you knew how much your fans and fellow musicians loved and respected you. There was nothing left unsaid. You had a rich and wonderful life and I can only tell you that I was happy to have been alongside you every step of the glorious way. Cheers to you, Phil. Your friend forever, -Dave --------------------------------------------------------------- Crushing news this morning; R.I.P. Phil, you will be greatly missed.

HEADS UP! If you have the Ovation Channel: http://www.ovationtv.com/ (DirecTV carries it, and Charter Cable does as well) they're showing 3 episodes of Firefly every night starting at 8 pm Jan 3rd through the 9th (I just found them last night).

If you agreed to give him a full refund upon his return of the CD, then that's what you should do. *Who paid the shipping for him to return the CD to you? If he did, then he has incurred extra expenses as well. Just refund the money and be done with it.

Yep, whatever they've done has totally screwed the pages over. I use Firefox with NoScript running, and the pages still take FOREVER to load, and when they do, the scrolling is either like trying to walk through mud, or as you said, freezes altogether. Shame they've f'd up a good site...

This band went on to become Malicious Mischief: http://www.heavyharm...l+It+Like+It+Is Actually, it looks like their name may have gone back and forth a few times... but anyway, the band of course features Zane of CDInzane fame on drums.

Happy New Year to all HH peeps around the world!

I like the quote from TMZ's website that accompanies the story about Urban resigning: It's unclear why Meyer quit the Florida gig -- but his most famous alum, Tim Tebow, is now coachless over in Denver. We're just sayin ... ------------------------- Hmmm...

Might as well try it again... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5899478&campaign=rss&source=NCFHeadlines

Nice pick up mate and a great band. Backed; love Electric Mary.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A few more casualties; FOX is canceling "The Good Guys" and "Running Wilde": http://tvbythenumber...-canceled/72899 Cancellations & shows "on the bubble" so far: ABC: Canceled - My Generation, The Whole Truth As good as gone - Detroit 1-8-7 Teetering on the brink - Better With You, No Ordinary Family CBS: Canceled - Medium Teetering - The Defenders (This SUCKS! The show wins its time slot every week, averages near 10 million viewers each week, but because it's their lowest rated new drama in the almighty 18-49 demographic, it's probably a goner) $#!4 My Dad Says (not holding on to enough of The big Bang Theory's audience) CSI Miami, The Good Wife NBC: Canceled - Outlaw, Undercovers Teetering - Chase, The Event, Chuck, Parenthood, Community (highly underrated comedy; I love the fact that they don't use those annoying laugh tracks) FOX: Canceled - Lonestar, The Good Guys, Running Wilde Teetering - Lie to Me, Fringe (being moved to Fridays after the New Year) American Dad (lowest rated animated series; if any of their new animated shows coming up do well, it's a goner)

A very interesting interview with Walking Dead comic creator Robert Kirkman (WARNING: SPOILERS): http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/11/01/walking-dead-amc-pilot-kirkman/ One comment I found very interesting; Kirkland makes it point to say that the show may not follow the comic exactly. There will be some storylines from the comic that weren't developed very much that will get much more attention on the show.
