Redskins-Seahawks

First off, how on earth does Shannon Sharpe get a job as a studio host? The man can't speak English. The funny thing is, his brother Sterling is very articulate, though sometimes too in love with his own voice.

"I agree withchoo." "I agree withchoo." Stop. Please.

On to Seattle, where that was the biggest front-running crowd I've ever seen. Rev it up early. Then, sit on your hands when it's, gulp, 3-0 Washington. That's all it takes to get Seattle to stop making noise? Some 12th man you guys are.

Seattle gets the cover or the push, depending on when you bet. The line had moved to 10 in some place before kickoff. I don't really know if Washington was the right side, however. They had the edge in turnovers and knocked Alexander out (to the delight of everyone who saved him in universe leagues). Clinton Portis didn't look healthy and Brunell was unable to establish any offensive consistency. But neither, really, did Hasselbeck and the Seahawks. Seattle should be able to get by this sub-par offensive effort by rationlizing that they lost their main weapon. While I think Seattle would trounce the Bears, Carolina could give them major problems.

We'll be back with more during the Pats-Broncos game.
