Seahawks 19 @ Saints 34: The View from Section 140 in Pictures
Here are the best of the best from all the pictures I took while attending the Saints 34-19 beat down of the Seahawks at the Superdome yesterday afternoon.
There is a little something different about this weeks post. I'm curious if anyone will be able to notice. We've also got a picture chosen for a caption contest so be sure to share your wittiest idea in the comment section. Lastly, I've included the comments roll-call from yesterdays two open threads.
All that after the jump. See you there.

The pic for caption is funny all by itself, but yeah, I’m curious to see what the CSC comedians are going to come up with… lol.

Look at the various plant leg positions
Look at Olindo Mare’s feet while he’s in his follow through. His plant foot’s toes are easily a full half a yard (1.5 feet) in front of the holder’s hands. Maybe even 2 feet. You aren’t supposed to jump forward as part of your follow through, so while I wouldn’t be surprised if he slid forward a tiny bit that’s probably fairly close to where his plant foot went down.
Look at Hartley’s plant. His heel is pretty much even with where the ball was. That means his toes are at best merely a foot in front of the ball.
I don’t ever kick soccer-style myself, so I don’t know for sure, but I’d have absolutely no surprise whatsoever to find out that this is why he keeps hooking the ball to the left. He’s not getting his plant foot in the right spot.
Oh, and another Fat Punk Kicker bit...
Anybody else sick of his crappy kickoffs? Bring back the punter. Please!
Yes!

I think after Morestead got knocked out of that preseason game everyone got scared of losing an important part of the team to a hit on kickoff coverage….so they stuck Hartley in instead.

Look at the last picture. Doesn’t it look like Hasslebeck is grabbing D. Thomas’ junk?

Panasonic Linux
Gift from the wife for my birthday. Never would have bought it for myself but it’s pretty cool. She got that model because it has a burst mode which lets me take three pictures very quickly, hence the cool Hartley action shots. It also allows me to change shudder speeds so I can finally take pictures of game action without the blurriness. If I knew more about cameras, I bet theres even more cool stuff I can do with it.

I have an Olympus digital SLR
that I’ve taken maybe a dozen photos with. Since 2007. If I knew more about cameras…
It was worth the wait.
I have a Lumix TZ5
Older, nice pocket camera, great zoom and wide angle lens, but the lens isn’t as fast as I’m used to, so it doesn’t take much to get blurry pics, but with that zoom I was able to get some decent shots from the 600 level.
You might want to try to play around with the exposure level, if you are getting blurry shots try setting it a couple clicks underexposed, they’ll be darker but you can brighten it up later with a gamma adjustment in something like Irfanview.

I noticed the zoom. Nice! Your pics are better than the AP pics and you summarize them with a word or two whereas the AP uses a paragraph.

I don't know about the caption
But somebody needs to tell that kid that the role of Kurt’s gay boyfriend on Glee has already been cast.

Not making fun of gay people. Making fun of the way the kid looks in the photo….seems a little over-happy dancing out there. And yes, i very much enjoy the show. Maybe you should have a little more open mind and concentrate a little more on learning how to kick a field goal.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
You have no business to be on here making fun of people and playing video games until I see some good kickoffs and FGs that arnt hooking left like a longhorn with a fear of right turns.

Is the caption
“I’m a dork.” too easy?
I was going to guess a new camera or closer seats, but I see someone beat me to it. I hope my camera takes decent shots on Turkey Day. And I hope my hands won’t be shaking too much! I’m already so excited……

I don't have a caption,....
but that’s the gayest picture I’ve ever seen, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Seriously?
The gayest you’ve ever seen?
Ever seen a man try to type with a cat on his lap?
It was worth the wait.
No, but I get the sneaky suspicion that was the scene at your keyboard as you typed that.
Am I correct? I can relate. I had a cat sleeping in my lap yesterday as I was checking my dismal fantasy football scores.
