    Alive or Evenflow. Anything with a strong Stone and Mike imprint. That is the classic PJ in my mind.

    I often what would happen if Ed released the reigns and let Mike and Stone work together for more melodies.

  • My vote would be Evenflow.

    Evenflow sounds like modern rock n roll to me. Well, when I first heard it. It sounded new and old at the same time. It kills live every time. I do wish Eddie would let the crowd take the lyrics coming out of the solo like on that bootleg from the Gorge.

    Kdiddy will tell you, everytime we leave a show, I am always mind blown by Mccready. Like, "holy balls! I can't believe he did THAT!"

    This may be an easy pick because they never not play it. But I'm with Vant. A classic is a classic for a reason. Yeah, it be cool to hear the super rare stuff, but my own check list of songs isn't bigger than the band and it's not why I go to shows. I'm not collecting the concert, I'm going to it to see it, feel it....touch it. (yeah....Who reference. nailed it)

    That may sound corny, but that's why I go and always look forward to Evenflow.

    I always think it would be cool if a fan with some editing software made a super long evenflow with an epic mike solo in the middle. The recordings would have to be official releases from the same tour so the edits would sound sonically legit.

    I was of course talking about the Gopher student section chant "Who Hates Iowa? We Hate Iowa!" I didn't want to wish anyone dead.

    On that note, the Gophers blew it today.

    Happy birthday. Sherman was completely classless yesterday. I hope he apologizes. What a horrible way to represent your city and team.

    I don't think you'll be seeing that apology anytime soon: http://mmqb.si.com/2014/01/20/richard-sherman-interview-michael-crabtree/

    I've never been able to figure out why people try to inject "class" into the NFL. These guys are self-described gladiators, out on the field with the intent of destroying their opponents. The coach, the owners, the management - they might have class. But not the players, this isn't a chess match. It's a battle of shear strength, will and determination.

    He talked the talked, and walked the walk. Making a game winning play is an excellent way to represent your city, and I think the majority of Seattle residents would agree.

    Side note, have you seen Sherman's interview with Skip Bayless: http://youtu.be/j6x-O3kb1sI

  • Thank you. Thank you.

    On my 27th birthday, Whoever runs the PJ twitter account tweeted to make sure your ten club stuff was in order. Which I believe lead to the Europe tour.

    Maybe Now on my 29th, we'll get some luck.
  • As far as Sherman goes and his "classlessness"

    Maybe these networks shouldn't stick a microphone in their face moments after something happens. You know, when they still are jacked up.

    I have no problem with what he did or said. If you're surprised, you havnt watched the nfl all season or maybe ever.

    Its quite possible that two things are simultaneously true.

    First, sure, you stuck a mic in the face of a guy on the winning team at the end of an emotional thrilling victory, and boom, you got an off-the-cuff, emotional amped up response. It's very possible that his emotions were talking there.

    But second, wow did it sound trashy as hell. Emotions or not, what about winning with class? Does everything have to be about pride and showing another person up? Who cares what Michael Crabtree said? Isn't the result more important? But nope, too many athletes have to go through this gorilla chest beating bullshit. And listen closely to what he said. Did he say "we're the best team?" Not really. But he definitely made sure to point out that "I'm the best corner..." Good grief.

    So yeah, I'll excuse him if his emotions got the best of him, but I'll also say it sounded terrible and I'm really not surprised that a lot of people found it in poor taste.

    (I secretly can't wait for the two months of no-football that the NFL so graciously gives America each year :))

    Yes, that's what winning means in a sports competition.
    vant0037 said:

    Evidently. Richard Sherman cared what Crabtree said. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be focused on Sherman's reaction.
    vant0037 said:

    Isn't the result more important?

    Yes, I agree. Crabtree ran his mouth, Sherman got results.
    vant0037 said:

    Careful with those gorilla comments. This man graduated second in his high school class and went to Stanford on a full ride.
    vant0037 said:

    I think this was quite evident from the outcome of the game.
    vant0037 said:

    (I secretly can't wait for the two months of no-football that the NFL so graciously gives America each year :))

    Didn't you hear? For a sport that only plays 17 games (+4 preseason) a year, we have to put up with it year round now. I'm astounded at the amount of year round coverage the NFL on ESPN, much less their own NFL network.

    But somehow no one ever seems to hear about the multiple, multiple offenses/arrests/scandals that happen off the field. (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/arrests/) Now that's class.

    The NFL generates $9 Billion in revenue per year, and cities like Minneapolis still have to foot the bill for their multi-multi-million dollar (billion?) stadiums, that will only get used ~10 Sundays a year. But it's OK, football players with resulting brain damage just got a settlement worth a measly $170K per player. (not snark - this is not nearly enough to cover the damage caused and ensuing medical bills)

    And don't even get me started on high school football...

    ...just doing my part to keep the MN thread at the top of the Porch Forum. Nice to have a little lively debate.
