OTFP: Carl Sagan Edition
Sorry I've been rather remiss about putting these up, the last several weeks of school have been absolutely brutal. But hey, finals over and it's three weeks in lazytown.
Anyhoo, here's your off-topic fanpost until we get tired of it and replace it. General reminders are to follow the commenting guidelines, give Seahawks discussion their own fanpost, and remain civil.
So what should you all talk about? Hell if I know. Here's a music video
Other potential topics of discussion:
- Current favorite band?
- Current favorite song?
- Carl Sagan or Neil deGrasse Tyson?
- Favorite Almost Live sketch?
- Favorite TV show that was canceled too soon?

Off-Topic Fanpost For The Weekend
So we're going to borrow a page from sister-SBN blog Lookout Landing and try something new here at Field Gulls. This is your Off-Topic fanpost, where you can discuss topics that are outside of the scope of the Seahawks and football in general.
Normal commenting rules apply here in the OTFP. Keep in mind that this isn't designed to be something akin to Twitter or Facebook. This is a place where you can bring up interesting things to discuss and share, rather than informing us that you're eating a sandwich on your patio in the rain. Here's an example of what's cool and what's not:
Not cool:
Scruffy: I'm eating a sandwich!
Getting better:
Scruffy: I'm eating a sandwich! Who likes sandwiches?
Cool:
Scruffy: I just finished off a tasty turkey and provolone sandwich! Any suggestions on what other sandwiches I should look into next?
Try to keep Seahawks news out of the OTFP and give them a fanpost of their own. Other than that, have at it. Make sure your comments are appropriate and don't violate any of the commenting rules here at FG.
Sometimes I'll post a series of questions in the OTFP that you can answer if you'd like. Here are some questions!
- What video game consoles do you currently own?
- What's on your list of video games to purchase in 2010?
- Skiing or snowboarding?
- Book recommendations?
- Movie recommendations?

Larry Stone Wants Junior Back
Larry thinks Junior will be better next season because his knee got worked on. In other words, same story we heard last off-season.

SBN Layout Upgrade
As you no doubt have noticed, SBN underwent a layout change overnight.
This update contains little or no actual function changes, but rather is mostly about the visual presentation. Please use this fanpost to courteously post your feedback regarding the changes. From what I understand the SBN devs are hopping from blog to blog to see what people think.
A few thoughts of my own:
- The new layout seems too bright and it would be nice to get our old color scheme back in place
- I would prefer if article titles could go back to being center-aligned instead of left-aligned
- Load times do seem to be much improved

Be Thankful For What We Have
Jordan Babineaux had a pretty good game Sunday afternoon. As John pointed out in his recap, today Babs finally began to look like a legitimate NFL free safety.
Here's an old friend of ours who still doesn't look the part. Gif under the cut!

Bruce Hines Axed
Lost in the Kenji shuffle is the fact that the front office just dismissed third base coach Bruce Hines.
At least we've still got video of him awkwardly doing the "suck it" after Ichiro hit that game winning blast off of Mariano.
