NEW FEATURE: The Quote Bucket

The busier this blog gets, the more comments and quips fly through the site, without getting the recognition they deserve.

I can't tell you how many great one-liners have blown through here, to be laughed at one minute, only to be recycled with yesterday's news the next. They have fallen into the blog machine and are forgotten.

Here is the remedy!

Available to all contributors, this will be a permanent 'sticky' thread, where you can post your favorite quotes from other bloggers and players. Treat it like a normal thread, but when the moment strikes you, post the quote, the date, and of course, the person who said it. After a while, we should have a collection of great material. This thread will have passed from the front page, but "the bucket" will always be available on the right hand pane.

One-liners are preferred. Old quotes can be included. Kudos, unnecessary explanation and other miscellaneous banter will be deleted. The goal is to have a bunch of simple, great quotes that would make an entertaining read to any visitor. Use your own judgement, just "have a quote and don't suck, or you will get run".

Have any "bucket-worthy" quotes? To get started, just add at to this thread, or click on the "Quote Bucket" toward the bottom of the right-hand pane.

Have fun, and

GO SEAHAWKS!!!

  3. 11/7 - Vinnie to Alba in flooble - "I feel like T.O"

    11/7 - Check, re Rams message board in flooble- "It's like Steven Hawking explaining astrophysics to the Coalition of Downs Syndromes Sufferers."

    11/7 - monkey, in his Banana Peel award - "Bryce Fisher, is week after week making the opposing teams RT look slow, weak and stupid." Edited to make shorter...

    This is really pretty easy. Too many funny guys here.

  7. "He's not a real flashy back, but somehow he gets 170 yards, 150 yards here and there. He's just a very disciplined back, and he sees everything very well. He cuts off what he sees. And pretty much 100 percent of the time, he's right."

  8. Just cuz I can't leave this alone...

    "Seahawks' offense hard to stop", headline to a Scott M. Johnson piece, Herald Writer. Linkage .

    And I said it in flooble, but I think it bears repeating, I assume the above quote by Mike "I like women" Furrey was about SA? He's not a real flashy back? Meaning what, no gold teef? I don't understand that quote, not that I think flashy is that important, but WTF does a guy have to do to be flashy? Weekly spot on national show, check. TD and highlight reel machine, check. Offensive Player of the week, check, check, and check. Leading rusher, check and TD check. I guess cuz he doesn't have dreds?

  23. Not related to the Seahawks, but still a good quote that I'm sure would fit somewhere here:

  25. Just to prove that I'm a good sport and can laugh at myself. This is from my monster.

    Yes Bluefoot, your suspicions are correct about Monkey's rants. It's sad really when I met him he was a blubbering idiot collecting Garbage Pail Stickers...but I got to hand it to him he is catching on. My sports lessons have paid off (we started with flashcards....had to keep it simple). Now he is a brilliant blogger thanks to the big breasted rube who he married. *wink*

    That quote is so quotable that I used the quote in the quote, quote unquote.

    You may be right SHO but once again this is a HUGE reach! Two terrible picks, so far we have BY FAR the worst draft day in the entire stinkin' NFL!!! BY FAR!!!
    Worst draft day I can ever remember for us, the very worst!
    I can't believe we traded up for this guy. What the HE11 is going on here???

    Monkey, the ex genius...4/23/05, on drafting Tatupu...for the record, Shonuff called that pick, and I myself was only mad because we could of gotten him in round 3...but yeh...boy does monkey look bananas!...and so does the anonymous who said the FO was drugged in the draft room after that pick lol

  51. Quotable: Receiver Joe Jurevicius, on team camaraderie: "I don't think you can underestimate camaraderie on a football team. The years I've been to the Super Bowl, it wasn't just on the field, it was also off the field. What happens off the field translates on the field, and I think that's what helped make us successful. I see it in our locker room right now."
