NFC 3rd Seed -- Seattle Seahawks (10-6)Mike Holmgren: I know this: At the end of the season, I am very much wiped out. You play your last game and you fall apart. You get a cold, you get all screwed up. The losses, and I've said this, are much harder than 10 years ago for me. Much harder. I lose my patience, I get more angry.
Matt Hasselbeck: Quick, coach! I need a playcall! 2nd and 3! 2nd and 3! I've got the Redskins defense flummoxed with my elaborate disguise.Holmgren: Oh, lost bucket. Have I truly abandoned all hope of finding you in my silly quest for gridiron success? How many years has it been? 10? 15? I remember you cylindrical shape as though I were wrapping my flippers around it now.
Deion Branch: C'mon, coach. Play clock is running out!
Hasselbeck: Perhaps I shall capture fair maiden and bind her to the train tracks with this section of rope? That will leave her woefully imperiled by a likely death by locomotive! Mwahahahaha!
Holmgren: When one reaches an advanced age such as I have, it dawns on you all the experiences you may have missed while tilting at the windmills of life. When I think of all the things I've yet to eat, all the buffets I've yet to buffet with my jaws...Marcus Pollard: Fuck! We just got six delay a' game penalties!
12th Man Flag: [flaps in breeze in manner that sounds like booing]
Hasselbeck: Perhaps Master Wayne is in need of his morning abultions. I say, for a crime-fighting mastermind, one would think he could properly bathe himself. In all my years...
Holmgren: I was chatting with Brett Favre the other day. It'd been a while since we caught up. He was telling me about all the wondrous things about retirement and how I should never think of doing them so I can hang around for another decade and torture my team's fans.Shaun Alexander: All this standing around has got me tired out. Can we just form a pile so I can dive into it?
Hasselbeck: You know, perhaps I should just do away with this silly playoff beard. I doesn't seem to be doing me a lick of good.
Ben Roethlisberger: YU CAWL THA PLAYLOFT BEERD? HARF HARF HARF HARF

Jesus, that's the worst mustache I've ever seen. He needs a 3" long pinky nail to go with it.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's good to see John Waters is finally getting into shape.
ReplyDeleteHass looks like Harvey Korman with that stache.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell does CC doe around here anymore?
ReplyDeleteHe can't even share his comedic brilliance with us to do the write up on the Seahawks? Aren't they his team?
(bracing for the unleashing of Caveman fury)

ReplyDeleteHater's Guide is generally Ape's domain, jammq. Was me posting something this morning too long ago for you, or is this an exercise to test my patience?
CC wore himself out on the Wade and Jerry post. Also, Adam Morrison even thinks thats a pussy mustache
ReplyDeleteI'm either a poor man's Drew or a poor man's Caveman. It's because of that kind of versatility that they keep me around here.
ReplyDeleteNot being snarky here, but,
ReplyDeleteIt should read "....capture a fair maiden and b[i]nd her to the train tracks with this section of rope..."
Yes, thanks. Continue slobbering over Drew and Ufford and nitpick my shit.
ReplyDeleteAssholes.
Leave it to the commenters to break up blog chemistry.
ReplyDeleteJee-zus. Just trying to help a brotha out.
ReplyDeleteNext time I will let you wallow in your misconjugated verbs... prick.
Talking about more of a general trend than you specifically. I fixed it, assiduous grammarian.
ReplyDeleteAssholes and pricks...I just wanted to say I liked the Cervantes reference...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I would have called it out on anyone.
ReplyDeleteHowever, not to prick your already deflated ego, but, you did not fix it as you forgot to place an "a" in front of "fair maiden."
The Alexander line is perfect. I think I might shave off my beard/stache so I can resemble fair Matt for this weekends game though. Might be fun.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't need the "a." He's referring to her directly.
ReplyDeleteGrammar Flame War = GraFlaWa
ReplyDelete@jammq/CC: I certainly hope it's an exercise to test the patience. I love the Caveman fury.
ReplyDeleteJesus is this KSK or Sesame Street? If I wanted to learn grammar I would move away from Indiana.
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting that "I shall capture fair maiden..." should not read "I shall capture a fair maiden..." when Hasselback is pondering what he will be doing in the future?
ReplyDeleteIn this sentence, "maiden" is a count noun and requires a numerical demonination. When a count noun is singular, it is preceded by an "a".
Whether it's grammatically correct or not, it's an idiom that was used colloquially during times when women could be referred to as "fair maiden."
ReplyDeleteAlso, LET IT GO ALREADY
ReplyDeletegrammar fight in a satirical football blog. The internet's purpose is now complete.
ReplyDeleteJohn S.: Apparently, you were not raised around Rocky and Bullwinkle.
ReplyDeleteSince the "fair maiden" was not indroduced into the "plotline" prior to the statement, the reader has no way of knowing he was referring to a specific person rather than a generic description.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, as he is contemplating actions in the future, it seems unlikely that he is thinking of a specific person but, rather, thinking of a generic fair maiden.
*just seeing how far I could push it before something broke*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I LOVE Rocky and Bullwinkle.
I think Ben Roethlisberger might be using improper syntax in his quote.
ReplyDeleteHey grammar king of KSK...when a sentence ends in quote marks, the period goes inside the marks. For example: When a count noun is singular, it is preceded by an "a."
ReplyDeleteNot to be snarky or anything.
quiet strength - You are right about that. As you can see, I did it properly earlier on. This was a simple typo.
ReplyDeleteAlright, STOP... Grammar Time!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's nice to see Hasselbeck is growing his eyebrows out for the playoffs as well.
ReplyDeleteWas me posting something this morning too long ago for you, or is this an exercise to test my patience?
ReplyDeleteYes and no. I didn't see the Wade & Jerry post.
I would never try to test your patience. I figure it's tested enough the minute the sun starts shining in the morning.
Jeez, I leave to get some work done, and the National Grammar Rodeo breaks out.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Upstate, on nailing the Egghead reference. I'm kicking myself for missing that one.
John S. is head buckaroo.
ReplyDeleteYee-hah?
ReplyDeleteThe mustache is an elaborate scheme to distract Jeff Garcia during the game.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I LOVE this blog, as hard as I have laughed in the past, the preceding "grammar wars" are just about the funniest damn thing I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteleave the holiday primate alone, his shit works.
Who's this Christmas Ape guy?
ReplyDeleteI thought the guy from Father Knows Shit and the pot-smoking Jew with the gambling problem wrote this blog.
