    The NFL and the National Anthem

    Absolutely. I’m curious if the kneel haters also hate the raised fist at the 68 olympics? Or would they be fine with the players doing this as long as they stood? Guessing not ...

    2018 Cowboys: Turning over the same leaf

    Can’t think of a single game moment, but rather a single pattern that he ran repeatedly and successfully over the years: that damn Y route. He goes forward a set distance and the cuts left or right depending on where the D is shading from. Pain in the ass to defend and he & his QBs seemed to...

    2018 Seahawks: R.I.P. Paul Allen

    Should have been more clear: they should have traded 1/27 for a 2nd & a 3/4. Don’t mind the player, just think they left draft capital on the table taking him at 1/27.

    2018 Seahawks: R.I.P. Paul Allen

    Hate hate hate this pick. Have a hard time believing they couldn’t have traded out of the first round, pocketed a 3rd or 4th and still gotten him in the 2nd if they liked him so much.

    2018 NFL Draft Day 1 Game Thread WITH SPOILERS

    Fucking Seahawks. Should have traded out of the round and taken him in the 2nd if they loved him so much. I hate watching their drafts.

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    Sure - purely from a business owner perspective, I can agree with this. But lumping him in with the other 2 who have been rather outspoken on their conservative social views just seems like a stretch to me - but maybe I’m over (or under) thinking it.

    Seattle Postpones Kaepernick Meeting Due to Protest

    As far as I know, one of these is not like the others. Allen has a pretty liberal reputation out here and I haven’t heard anything to suggest he’s anything like McNair or Richardson. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems like guilt by association.

    2018 NFL Transactions & News

    Can’t wait to watch the Hawks OL try to block those 2 twice next year. Wilson may want to double up on injury insurance

    Sherman’s March From the SEA - Richard Sherman Speculation Thread

    Hope he gets cheered in Seattle next year despite the new colors. We’d still be looking for our first SB win without him (and others of course).

    Really getting tired of the Martinez drama. I know it’s all posturing & negotiating tactics, but if he really wanted to be in Boston, he would be already. At this point, I’d rather put that money towards extending Sale/Betts, add one of Morrison/Duda and save-what’s left over for a mid season trade.

    He’s frustrated that the Sox won’t bid against themselves? Fine - sign elsewhere for less and put your money where your mouth is asshole.

    The Mount Rushmore of....Athletes?

    My 4 in no particular order would be: Ali Jackie Joyner Kersey Bo Jackson Nadia Comaneci Felt right to split it evenly between men & women and I looked for overall athleticism rather than pure mastery of one particular sport or event (Ali is the exception here, but he WAS exceptional)

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    I guess it really doesn’t matter who the OC is unless the OL gets fixed. If not, who cares what the play call is - RE will be improvising after 1.5 seconds anyway.

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    Ugh...a retread. Was really hoping they’d look at college OC’s rather this kind of hire. And no, the fact that he spent one year as Georgia’s OC doesnt make me feel better.

    Playoff Fear Factor

    Speaking as a non-Pats fan, I think your chances of that are 100%

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    Won the game, but probably just lost the season. Hard to see how they’ll be able to stick with their primary D scheme of only having to defend half of the field with Sherm shutting down the other side. A lot of QBs simply ignore the side Sherm is on, which allows Earl to shade towards the other...

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    Running the read option and actually having the QB keep it once in a while might help the running game too. Can’t remember the last game where Russ pulled it back. They’re probably telling him to hand it off to avoid injury, but when the D doesn’t have to worry about the QB, the back gets stuffed.

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    Duane Brown just got more expensive. Lane failed his physical and will stay with SEA (which sucks in its own right), but now the Hawks have thrown in a 2018 3rd rounder and will receive (rather than give) a 5th to close the deal. Will all depend on how quickly/effectively Brown can learn the...

    2017 Seahawks: Wilson the Magician

    I agree - great move. Hawks have a window open this year & next and it made no sense to hamstring themselves with their current OL. Also seems like an acknowledgement that they screwed up in the offseason by throwing money at Joeckel & Lacy that could have gone to a better T (Whitworth). Glad...
