Technically I sat at home, had a beer, and watched NCAA Football games for most of the day, but it watching sports wasn’t the same on this particular Mid-October Saturday.
Technically the TV was on sports and I was enjoying the game with a beer – but it just wasn’t the same. My mid-October Saturdays generally consist of the TV being on CBC and tuning into the latest installment of “Hockey Night In Canada” and enjoying the games with some friends and drinks. Now the drinking would never be of major consumption, more casual in nature, however who among us hasn’t taken part in a good drinking game? So with my Saturday tradition inexplicably altered, thankfully The Extra Period was determined not to have the NHL lockout rob us of our customs and traditions. Ergo the spawning of... The Extra Period: Sports Drinking Games.
Yes – you read that correctly. Drinking games for sports. Upcoming on The Extra Period will be a series of drinking games that you and your friends can play while watching a variety of sporting events. The first in the series will be unveiled tomorrow in the rest of my Week 7 Picks. In the mean-time, Thursday Night’s game.
Home team in CAPS.
Seahawks (+8) over 49ERS
Both teams got knocked out of their comfort zone last week.
Except only 1 of them adapted, made adjustments and showed more flexibility. The
49’ers are going to be angry after the way they got embarrassed on national TV
vs. the Giants. But they showed a major flaw in themselves: A failure to adapt to
an unfolding game when it doesn’t go the way you had hoped. They flourish when
up 10 and can clamp down on a team. Instead last week they were down 13 and
were left flailing hopelessly in high tide (or a Giant tide). Seattle showcased
that they might have more wrinkles to them than we thought.
Last Week: 6-8
Season: 45-45-1
