Sounds excellent, Raptor... Joe to Jerry, Joe to Jerry, Joe to Jerry. Ya gotta love it. I am gettin me that channel next year.

Frank... Seattle will indeed have a parade. But, it will be a "thank u" parade, not a victory parade. You are almost certainly correct on Batch. His rating is 30 or 40 points higher than Maddox's (I'm pretty sure about that but not positive.) However, if Ben has to come out, the choice will be made based on on a lot more than ratings. Could go either way.

Plus, old Billybob has gotten pretty cagey and sneaky in these past few years compared to his early days of straight smashmouth. I guess when you have 13 years with one team, you can throw in the odd razzle-dazzle play. Or put in an arm and then run, or vice versa.

Of course... on any given day...........
