Live Blogging the Packers vs. Seahawks Game

1:15pm PST: I miss James Brown...watching three idiots and a James Brown look-a-like laughing at their inside jokes on the pre-game makes me almost wish the NFL network was broadcasting this one....

1:17pm PST: They just had a neat little piece on Lee Remmel, the Packer's PR Director, who is retiring after 62 years on the job.

1:23pm PST: My sister calls...why isn't she watching the game? Or at least praying for victory....

1:29pm PST: So today as announcers we get Marv's son Kenny Albert, Daryl "Moose" Johnston, and Tony Siragusa trolling the sidelines for "news."

1:33pm PST: It is snowing as the players are announced...in Wisconsin we would call if "flurries" ...if it were snowing like that here in Seattle, school would already be canceled for Monday and we would have our three total snow plows working double shifts...

1:36pm PST: Okay the game's over...Packers win the toss...see you in the NFC championship...

1:38pm PST: A record Brett doesn't have: he is 2nd to Joe Montana in playoff games started and touchdowns thrown.

1:40pm PST: Okay, breath in breath out...we've fumbled and Shaun Alexander has scored...this is not happening...this is not happening...

1:46pm PST: Ryan Grant's 2nd fumble inside 10 minutes...I don't know if I am going to be able to handle this and I might have to turn this off if it gets much worse...my stomach is hurting and I feel nervous...

1:50pm PST: Seattle's best receiver Deion Branch is injured so we are taking a break...I need to take a breath and get some chips...

1:53pm PST: Seahawks score again but I don't think the receiver had two feet in...come on McCarthy challenge it...

1:54pm PST: He challenges it but the refs rule he can't challenge it...14-0

1:55pm PST: If I have to hear that damned car commercials playing Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently" I am going to scream...We've seen it twice so far...

1:59pm PST: Now we're moving...20 yard pass...

2:01pm PST: Favre to Jennings...TOUCHDOWN....YES YES YES YES 14-7

2:03pm PST: The replay shows that the play the Packer's scored the touchdown on was a play only between Jennings and Farve. Everyone else was playing a run play, including Ryan Grant...

2:09pm PST: Hasselbeck is sacked...4th down...man is it getting messy down there....it is snowing harder than at the start of the game...

2:14pm PST: We are moving again...4th and inches...we're reviewing the spot of the ball...The verdict: "they are re-spotting the ball and will remeasure" FIRST DOWN! YES...here we go....

2:20pm PST: Ryan Grant is running like a man possessed...1st and Goal

2:21pm PST: RYAN GRANT TOUCHDOWN...14-14....a weight has been lifted...

2:27pm PST: First play of the 2nd Quarter...SEAHAWKS FUMBLE, PACKERS RECOVER...

2:29pm PST: I didn't think I would say this nearly an hour ago but give Grant the ball every time...

2:33pm PST: Favre to Jennings...TOUCHDOWN....21-14

2:38pm PST: As I am watching the refs measure the placement of Seattle's ball, I remember my sister once saying "can't they just see the yellow line."

2:40pm PST: Personal foul...Seahawks get another chance...As my adoptive team I would be rooting for the Seahawks if they were playing anyone but the Packers...

2:45pm PST: So the Seahawks get a field goal that they shouldn't have...21-17...time for some Pizza Bursts....

2:51pm PST: Brandon Jackson gets a chance to touch the ball...7 yards....

2:54pm PST: We are getting a nice little drive together here....two straight 3rd down conversions...2 minute warning...

3:00pm PST: Brett may have just done one of his Top 10 plays of his career with the pass he just did to Donald Lee...1st & Goal...

3:01pm PST: RYAN GRANT'S 2ND TOUCHDOWN...28-17

3:04pm PST: Hasselbeck takes a knee and it is halftime...I really can't believe how things went down in this half...I never would have predicted what happened...hopefully the Packers can keep their momentum going...

3:10pm PST: I am boycotting the Fox halftime show...let's see what else is on...the best alternative is to jump in halfway into the Tim Robbins & Martin Lawrence buddy comedy Nothing to Lose.

3:18pm PST: We're almost ready to start as the Packers kick off to the Seahawks...

3:21pm PST: 3 and out for the Seahawks...let's avoid another ruffing the kicker penalty shall we boys?...

3:27pm PST: Brandon Jackson TOUCHDOWN! Everyone is getting in the mix! 35-17. Holmgren looks soooo pissed!

3:36pm PST: the Seahawks have a drive together but they are facing a 3rd and 10...they converted...1st down for them...

3:39pm PST: the Seahawks drive continues...but one thing is clear...the Packer running game is much stronger than Seattle's...they are running 2 failed run plays and then convert on a 3rd down pass...and the snow is coming down even harder now...

3:41pm PST: the Packers stop them and so they are going to kick a field goal...Josh Brown and his electric pants are going to try to get 3 points...
3:42pm PST: It's good...35-20

3:48pm PST: Ryan Grant runs one for 46 yards and sets the Packers playoff rushing record...

3:50pm PST: And Brandon Jackson runs for 10 more...forget Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor...it's Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson!

3:54pm PST: TOUCHDOWN #3 FOR #25! Mason Crosby [who should be Rookie of the Year] kicks it though...42-20

4:01pm PST: 3 and out for the Seahawks and they punt on 4th and 2 which is a little surprising...no return for the Packers.

4:05pm PST: Grant runs for 28 more...if I haven't said it already...All is forgiven Ryan. He is over 200 yards for the day...Fun fact: Ryan Grant has degrees in both Sociology and Computer Science from Notre Dame.

4:08pm PST: The Packers try something different other than touchdown...a punt...

4:10pm PST: We are down to about 9 minutes on the clock...

4:14pm PST: It's 4th and 10 for the Seahawks and this is the most important play of the game...incomplete...PACKERS TAKE OVER! Now it's time for 8 minutes of the Ryan Grant/Brandon Jackson running game

4:18pm PST: Brandon Jackson goes for 20!

4:20pm PST: We didn't do much on this drive except take 3 minutes off the clock...

4:22pm PST: Hasselbeck gets sacked by KGB...2nd and 22...

4:24pm PST: Packers get the ball back again following a punt...Brett comes out of the game and Aaron Rodgers comes in...

4:27pm PST: My dad calls to talk about the Packers...as my Mom says, "nothing makes your Father happier than the Packers winning."

4:33pm PST: I miss the final plays but who cares, the game is over. PACKERS WIN! 42-20

I can't wait for the Giants / Cowboys game tomorrow...

This track can be found a bunch of places, including Forever Johnny Cash.

Finally

Our judiciary is an imperfect response created by imperfect people to get reasonably close to the goal of protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty. And it gets it wrong sometimes. But it is good to see justice done.

What Genarlow Wilson did was wrong -- he was 17 years old when he encouraged a 15 year old girl to perform oral sex on him, which she willingly did -- but it wasn't 10-years-in-a-jail, registering-as-a-sex-offender wrong. And the Georgia Supreme Court fixed that today. Justice delayed is justice denied, but it is justice nonetheless.

I don't know of any good music about getting released from prison, so I'll just send along this Johnny Cash classic.
