[NBKLee]

No part of me can be happy for Pete Caroll / Richard Sherman

this is truly a sad, sad, sad day

I love Pete Carroll. One of the best team builders and leaders in the game. Can't stand Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas or Golden Tate but you gotta hand it to that team; they are good!

Can't be happy for Pete, but I'm happy for the rivalry. The Niners have never had a legitimate rival on the West Coast. Let the banter about Super Bowls begin.

You may hate some of the coaches and players on the Seahawks, but you gotta love that defense. It is a sheer pleasure to watch them in action, no matter who you root for (with the obvious exception of the
gelded Broncos). Perhaps the best defense in NFL history!!!!

I'm over hating them (which is not the same as liking them, understand). The fact is, the Niners had every opportunity to be the team receiving the Lombardi trophy instead and they just shot themselves in the foot. I want the Niners to beat their asses next year, but Seattle absolutely deserved to win it all, clearly the best team.

I understand Sherman and Tate rubbing people the wrong way, but why can't you stand Earl Thomas?

 

[CohanHater]

Can't stand Carroll, he played, graduated, and coached at my alma matter, but he's a cheat and an obnoxious gum smacker. Can't wait to stick it back to him next season

Don't mind him, I don't think he can name 5 Hawk players.

I'm happy for Lynch, UCB alum, and even for Ken Norton Jr the assistant Coach, previous Niner, but I can't stand Carroll and his arrogance.

Thomas seems like an all around good guy, but the Niner fan in my can't be happy for for a division rival regardless..

He's got a big mouth and always tries to draw attention to himself when he makes a play. He's a lot like Tate. Both of those guys are so impressed with themselves when they do nothing more than what they are getting paid to do.

Fuck off.

Love Wilson and Lynch and have many relatives in Seattle. Was happy to see them win.

(And I've always hated Pete Carroll. Sherman? The whole thing was overblown)

He's at it again.
Dude doesn't know what humility means, but it sells jerseys and gets people reading. He's the second coming of TO and he'll fizzle out soon.

Lynch is an OG. You can't help but like the guy. I loved his interview with Deion on NFL network before the Superbowl.

Booooo!

Sounds like 99% of NFL players

We've got a few on our team as well; but no one in Sherman's or Tate's class. I can easily see though how people would not like Kaepernick or Harbaugh. I can barely tolerate their behavior myself and I'm a huge 49er fan

None of my Niner-fan friends could understand why I was rooting for the Seahawks. They just couldn't grasp how this was good for San Francisco (especially after falling short in the big game last year). As great as the rivalry has become, nothing legitimizes it like championship talk. Now, the banter is most recent versus storied franchise back on the rise. It's FANtastic. Then, you add in the fact that the Rams and Niners were never great at the same time, the Seahawks being a doormat for the AFC West, the Niners aren't in the same division as the Raiders and Chargers and all the history that long-standing SF fans have with talking smack to Broncos' fans (55-10, etc.) and you have a strange recipe of rooting for a hated rival.

Plus, the farther away Peyton stays from more Super Bowl titles, the higher Joe Montana and Steve Young remain in the discussion of greatest QBs. Although, to be fair, I think Manning passed the incomparable #8 on that list at least a few years ago. All that being said, it will more than likely be the only time I root for Seattle in anything ever again.

And I haven't heard anyone mention this yet: The Niners must have been damn good this year to be one play away from defeating Seattle IN SEATTLE, given how well they played against Denver. The Seattle blowout let's us know how good our team really was/is.

And yes, never been a Peyton fan. I feel guilty disliking the guy so much. He works hard, respects his teammates and opponent, and has overcome adversity. And yet he annoys the bejesus out of me.

What's my problem Heath? :rollseyes:

 

[_so_money_]

He's at it again.

I don't see what's so controversial about that. He's basically saying we're smart as well as skilled, isn't he? What's wrong with that?

 

[DonyellFreak]

Oh good my Seahwks winning upset the OP LOL.

Mark Jackson is no Pete Carroll and that makes me sad.
