Re: Calling All Seahawk Fans!!!

Does Tatupu still have relatives living here? With dad (Mosi) being THE man at Punahou in the early 70's, I figured the newspapers would play up the local angle.

Re: Calling All Seahawk Fans!!!

This from this morning's Seattle Times Superbowl blog:
"...MAHALO!

Posted by Seattle Times at 02:35 PM

That's "thank you" in Hawaiian, and it was perhaps the response that Seahawks Wayne Hunter and Itula Mili gave after receiving boxes of toffee-covered macadamia nuts from a radio reporter who calls himself "Super Bowl Wayne."

The radio guy came all the way out to Detroit for the Super Bowl, and made sure he ran into Hunter and Mili, the Seahawks' two products of the 50th state, to give them the gifts at Tuesday's Media Day at Ford Field.

Hunter and Mili are "local boys," or natives of Hawaii, and appreciated the gesture.

"It's just kind of 'Aloha' spirit," Hunter said. "That's how it is back at home."

Hunter said it's customary for Hawaiians on the islands to bring gifts to Hawaiians living on the mainland. ..."

Polamalu injured in practice -- now 'probable' for Super Bowl

All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu left the Steelers practice today after his ankle was injured. Coach Bill Cowher listed him as probable to play in Sunday's Super Bowl against Seattle.

Cowher told the assigned pool reporter that he "tweaked" the ankle. No other information was available.

A player listed as probable on the injured list officially means he has a 75 percent chance of playing in that week's game.

Fullback Dan Kreider (knee) and defensive end Travis Kirschke (groin) also did not practice today and remain questionable for Sunday's game. Linebacker James Harrison (ankle) is probable. He also did not practice today.

Re: Calling All Seahawk Fans!!!

OK ZZtype... some explaining needs to be done????

I've been following the bulletins posts very closely....

WASSSSSUP !!!

Something mysterious is happening to the Seahawk votes that were cast!!!
I've been following the vote counts for the last 48 hours...


What happened to all the votes that were posted from 8:30 on?

The vote count at that time was 247 Pittsburg.... 290 Seattle....

Now the bulletin is showing something different...???? what is up with that???

where is the real reporting if the polls are closing without the final count???

Answers need to be had.... I've captured my screenshots... do I need to show ??? why are the polls now closed with a different count????

On a closing note... thanks for having the poll in the first place... but why have it if results are going to change?

Seahawksurfer123.... j/k at any rate... in my polls... the last time i officially checked the starbulletin.com website it was 247 Pittsburg 290 Seahawks as of 8:30 pm.


CENSORSHIP SUCKS....please explain?

There is also the Seattle PI Seahawks forum that may help bump up the Starbulletin poll. You have haters there too so this should be interesting. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/forum/....asp?boardID=3

Re: Calling All Seahawk Fans!!!

Hi folks,

Just noticed this and dropped in to clear the air.

I close the Star-Bulletin poll EVERY Thursday night when I show up for work. Tonight I showed up at around 8:30 and the poll was closed about 8:45. This is because the poll results are printed in the Friday morning newspaper on page A2, which is in production about 9:00 on Thursday night.

The first thing I do is download the logfile from the server. Then I read the logfile, line by line, examining the voting. I find all instances of ballot-stuffing and remove them from the vote, then I re-upload the poll log with the "cleaned up" vote count and close the poll.

That is why you saw the numbers jump. I kill all the overvotes. Believe me, it is OBVIOUS when you look at the logfile.

Of note, I found NO ballot-stuffing for Pittsburgh, but there were quite a few, by a couple of people, trying to pump up the Seattle vote. It didn't work.

Good luck to both teams this Sunday.

The $5.00 Hot dog finally sold on EBAY for $1800.00 and it wasn't even a Devout Seahawk fan!

AP:

ARLINGTON -- A $5 hot dog from the Seattle Seahawks' N-F-C championship victory over the Carolina Panthers has brought $1,800 in an online auction on eBay.
The winning bid from Golden Palace.com, an online casino known for buying oddball artifacts, was posted a scant four seconds before the deadline of 6:30 p.m. PST Thursday set by Josh Minnick, 27, Stacey Houtary, also 27, and her boyfriend, Matt Allison, 25.

In 10 days, their eBay site got more than 350,000 hits. At one point the bidding exceeded $10,000 but bidders began backing out and with less than a minute to go the top offer was $1,525.

Golden Palace had asked to be included in an approved bidders list but posted an offer only at the end, The Herald of Everett reported Friday.

As the three friends celebrated with champagne, they got a telephone call from Golden Palace spokesman Jeff Kay.

“I can't wait to get your hot dog. We're a little hungry,” Kay joked.

He said the online casino, based on Antigua and licensed in Kahnawake, Quebec, plans to include the hot dog in a traveling display of acquisitions that include a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, a kidney stone from actor William Shatner and Pope Benedict XVI's old Volkswagen.

Minnick, Houtary and Allison said 15 percent of the proceeds, $270, would go to the Grant Wistrom Foundation for youngsters with cancer and their families, leaving them with $510 each.

“That's not a bad take on $5,” Houtary said.

Re: Calling All Seahawk Fans!!!

I don't understand what the hooplah is about the Star-Bulletin poll...it's not like it's scientific or anything. The worst prognosticators were the guys from "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" where they had fans in uniforms doing wheelbarrel races and fans in uniforms in tires rolled towards bowling pins to determine the outcome of the game...I don't see this poll as anything different heh.

On the news today, I saw an elephant (at the Fort Worth Zoo) pick the Seahawks to win, by tapping the Seahawks emblem with its trunk, instead of the Steelers one. That's all the convincing I need.
(I didn't stick around to see how the elephant predicts the point spread...eccch!)

Are you kidding me? There is now way that he ( Troy Polamalu) will not play, even if he had a broken bone he would be out there, he is better at 50% than any of the Seagulls at a 100%. HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO.
