I keep hearing about “Beast Mode” and players turning on or entering “beast mode”. I believe this started with Marshawn Lynch’s game sealing 67 yard touchdown run for the Seahawks which will soon be forgotten as the 7-9 Seahawks got bounced out by the Chicago Bears this weekend. I’m not going to crap on Seattle for getting excited about this since I still feel bad that they lost the Sonics to Oklahoma.
But everyone outside of Seattle? No more beast mode talk. Its the sports fan equivalent of “Epic” and its already overused and meaningless despite coming into the sports lexicon a week ago. That’s what happens when ESPN has two 24 hour networks that are dedicated to the NFL from August to February.
Mostly I hate “beast mode” because it makes me think of “Beast Wars” which is the worst incarnation of Transformers including Michael Bay’s recent explosion porn adaptations.

Wow. I always thought Beast Wars had better graphics than that. Thanks late 90′s.
