aTm, did you buy senior boots and a saber from Holick's?

Talking to an Ag today. Apparently, they are $1600 now. A saber is $500. I don't know what the breeches and patches and what-not cost. But damn. Two grand to be a pretend soldier?

Sure hope DS treats his clients better than his fantasy team.

why players love Pete Carroll

---------------

Regulation ended in a tie, and the kickers each added another field goal to tie the game 6-6 with 6:46 left in overtime. Both Catanzaro and Hauschka were then given a chance to win the game for their teams in the final minutes, because NFL rules state that if both teams score field goals, the next team to score wins.

With 3:26 left in overtime, Catanzaro missed a 24-yard field goal off the left upright.

"I know I make that kick 999,999 out of a million," Catanzaro said. "It's a tough deal, but no matter what, I have to move past it as quickly as possible."

Arians was blunt with his comments to Catanzaro after the miss: "Make it."

"He's a professional," Arians said. "This ain't high school. You get paid to make it."

With 11 seconds left in overtime, it appeared the Seahawks were somehow going to escape with an improbable win.

Hauschka set up for a 28-yard field goal that would have given Seattle a 9-6 victory. But he missed too.

"It is disappointing," Hauschka said. "We work hard to make those kicks all season long. It is disappointing that one didn't go well. I feel like I let the team down.

"It is just an unfortunate play, and I feel bad about it. But we are going to grow and get stronger. I will be a stronger kicker after this."

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said afterward that the snap and the hold looked good. He didn't think the kick was rushed.

"He has been making kicks for us for years," Carroll said. "I love him, and he's our guy."

Yep. A lot of people make the mistake of holding onto what gets them results (preparation, attention to detail, holding people accountable for their roles) at the expense of expressing understanding of mistakes (that inevitably happen). Pete has figured out the balance. It's not easy. Arians has not.

that was one of those games that I should have watched a movie instead

that said, they both might be cut next week

but at least Pete won't lose the locker room

I don't know, which looks worse, saying up front "he's paid to make those" and cutting him when he misses one, or saying "He's our guy, I support him all the way" and then cutting him anyway? At least you know where you stand with the first guy...

wasn't a good day for kickers in general. Nugent missed 2.

hey, Kentucky is on fire....as long as we play teams with losing records

I wish you'd play a team with a losing record...

I did not intend this to be some segue into sass. Was just curious. The expense for the boots is crazy.

No clue about boots. Wasnt in the corps of cadets.
