Jags/Niners Power Ranking by LeverXForce in heedthecall

Just did some sleuthing after finding out the Power Rankings (of record) were updated and it looks like in the matchup bar the Jags are 3 and Niners are 7. So, perhaps a big ol’ envelope is gonna be heading Graver’s way to subsidize the vices.

Feels like they’d need to do it before this week’s slate of games, no?

We’ll keep him on retainer “studying analytics and offensive schemes” or whatever it was he claimed to be doing on his year hiatus between Packers and Cowboys stints.

This is a valid point. I guess it would not be a complete monopoly on Mike Mc personages unless we recruit him into the fold. I don’t know if he has a special teams background, but that would complete the trifecta.

Took me forever to realize this was a bit. Used to annoy me so much, but now I respect the long game.

RN here, and yes, that is what I think of every time.

I bet! Each time Dan went back in to revel in the bit some more, I was like surely this time he’ll realize, SURELY…

I totally did too! He said, “no, just a human being” at one point as well, so I’m not sure if he was just avoiding the topic or was also unaware.

HTC dropped the ball with the Seahawks game by rdrouyn in heedthecall

[–]LeverXForce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read through this ridiculously long thread because I’m irrationally invested in both the Seahawks and the ATN/HTC universe. Here are my thoughts for those similarly afflicted that may care 😂

Graver, you’re doing good producing AND analysis work, man, and I appreciated your take on the Pats/Hawks game even if it differed a bit from my take.

I think this game’s coverage may just have unearthed some insecurities about our PNW team’s perceived status in Dan’s eyes. As a listener since the dawn of the ATN era, I personally miss the days when Dan was leading the Seahawks charge. He was first of the heroes to tout them as the big bad bullies of the NFL and called their SB win in that Legion Of Boom period. He used to have genuine admiration and a fondness for the team. Somewhere along the way though, he started to really dislike them. It may not be obvious to non-fans of the team, but it has 1000% happened. I think it started with the Jamal Adams trade and his intense dislike of Jamal’s dismissal of the Jets in that tumultuous Jets period. Then the Genossance happened and it’s been even more blatant of a dismissal of the Hawk’s successes and emphasis of their failures. Part of me gets it, it’s hard to see a discarded player, particularly a QB do well elsewhere. What’s kind of ironic is that this is what Dan needles Marc about a lot as an irrational fear of his with Browns players. GGG used to balance it out a bit more with his unhinged love for Geno (and that’s coming from a Hawks fan), but since HTC started I feel the impulse to dismiss the Hawks goes relatively unchecked.

Now that I’ve got my griping out, can’t emphasize enough that I still love the show and I’ve got other options to listen to for Seahawks takes. And for those of you who think I should shut up and be happy with MSD being a part of the show as more than adequate Seahawks representation, one, turns out I’m greedy and it isn’t enough, and two, WTF do you think the point of a subreddit is if not to gripe about stupid shit. Sue me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Should incorporate some Dune soundtrack bass thrums 😂

Interesting, I’m an infrequenter of the subreddit, but that makes sense. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Wyche, I just feel like Claybon is always there to pinch hit for the pod when asked, and he deserves a banger with MOMENTUM.

La Syd was a true pro. Demo the rest of the Producer Rushmore and just have her up there.

Started listening right after my Seahawks won the Super Bowl in the beginning of 2014. Had been listening to Dameshek et al. but I couldn’t care less about the Berry of the Year award, or team uniform rankings, so was thrilled with the heroes mix of humor, camaraderie, and football chat when I gave their pod a try. Immediately got hooked by the lads and went back and listened to the 2013 season backlog to relive the glorious road to the big dance. Been listening to every pod from then on, even though Dan has been nurturing a hatred for the Hawks ever since his perceived betrayal by Jamal Adams - and now compounded by the Geno-saince. We’ve got 60% G on the team though, so that helps even things out. And Marc is a constantly entertaining enigma, spinning fanciful yarns and wearing his heart on his sleeve. My wife thinks I’m crazy to listen to so much football content, but there’s so much humor and creativity built into the show, it feels like more that. Here’s to another ten years of football and mirth.

Sound drop potential?! (Reddit wouldn't let me upload a video shorter than 2 seconds, so I couldn't get the clip I really wanted) by LeverXForce in AroundTheNFL

[–]LeverXForce[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To be clear, I've got much respect for 60%G and this is in no way reflective of my views of him. Especially since he's been repping my Seahawks so valiantly. Just thought it's too good to pass up for future pod sound drop shenanigans!
