There is a massive difference between having drinks and being an alcoholic. You obviously aren't one....

Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
I'm in the Rasheed camp. Horton can't stay healthy. JSN and an aging Kupp can't do it all. RS gives us a burner teams have to respect, which opens up our offense everywhere.
Loved K-9 when he was on the field, but his greatest success came as a platoon bell cow with Zach and that left him with enough juice to carry us in the playoffs after Charbs got injured. If he does it all season with KC and doesn't wear down or get hurt, more power to him, but I'll be surprised. RBs have a short shelf life and I'm good with Price and his fresh legs under contract.

No, but apparently you missed this...Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 12:41 pmDid you miss that? Walker decided midway through the season he didn't want to play there anymore
"If I'm being honest, probably sometime during the season," Walker told Florio. "Things didn't work out how I was expecting them to, and that's alright. It worked out for the team. But yeah, sometime during the season. And then we get to free agency, and you're pretty much knowing you weren't going to be there
None of us knows what his thinking really was going into free agency.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 12:03 pmThat just sounds like the words of someone that was butthurt that he wasn't offered a big contract by his former team. He also said this right before the Superbowl...
The reality is that none of us knows what he was thinking leading up to free agency. We do know, however, that the Seahawks weren't interested in paying him his value on the market because they didn't make on offer prior to the FA period, didn't attempt to match KC's offer later, and opted not to use the franchise or transition tags on him. Instead they decided to offer Shaheed a contract larger than what Walker got from KC.“I've been here four years, so you know I've gotten to know a lot of stuff about Seattle, and you know a lot of the city, and I feel like they feel good about me as well,” he said. “So if it was my choice, though, I'd definitely stay.”

176 days since I threw away my Guinness and PBR. 35 pounds shed. I thought as a Coug and brew boy that I would miss beer more, but I don't.

Cool... I've lost about that much. I'm down to a beer a day. I get this cheap Chinese crap I really dislike. I can't completely give up having a beer but one is all I can really stand these days
Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
The fact that you have lost 35 lbs is for more shocking than you making it almost 6 months without drinking. I never considered you overweight. Perhaps you packed it on in the 5 years since I last saw you. Be careful or you might have change you FB handle to Karen Carpenter.

Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
Yeah I enjoy a beer with lunch but drinking more than 1 beer at a time has never been appealing to me. Just a gross bloated groggy feeling. Thus I have probably spent $100k on liquor..Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 6:36 pmCool... I've lost about that much. I'm down to a beer a day. I get this cheap Chinese crap I really dislike.

Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
Congrats, man, that's really cool. Wish I could say the same, but man... a cold beer is just... so... good.
Although you shouldn't have thrown away that stuff, I would have taken it off your hands.
The crazy part? I weigh 170. But I am at the gym 6 days a week.

Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
I remember working with this guy, he'd pick me up in the morning and he'd have a case of beer in his backseat. It be 7am and he'd be drinking. I'd work jobs where it was customary to go have lunch at a tavern. I quit that, I couldn't keep up. It was dangerous, I was going to fall off a roof. stealing coffee out of a painters thermos, it would be spiked, painters were notorious. The drinking that would go on. I don't think there's that kind of drinking with construction these days, probably more drugs, methD-train wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 7:25 pmYeah I enjoy a beer with lunch but drinking more than 1 beer at a time has never been appealing to me.

Re: Poll: Walker or Shaheed
My anxiety was so bad on Monday. I took Lynda to work for her 5:30am to 7:00am shift came home and had 2 triple Vodkas before picking her up at 7am. Quit on Tuesday. Day 3 feeling MUCH better...
