After reading this article, I've come to the conclusion that Silver and Rappaport are full of crap and trying to create smoke where there isn't any... A couple of media drama queens. Repetitively taking actions and people's words out of context to support an argument they tried making months ago kind of indicates that.
"Sometimes, however, actions speak louder than words, and Lynch, one of the sports world's most eccentric stars, seemed to make a statement about the disconnect between him and his bosses midway through Sunday's game. While the rest of the Seahawks filed through the tunnel and into the visitors' locker room at the conclusion of the second quarter, Lynch remained on the field for the entirety of the 12-minute halftime."
- Ummm... Lynch stayed out because his back was tightening up and he didn't want to try re-acclimating to the cold after he got warmed up because he was afraid his back would lock up if he did that. He did not stay out because he was too fatigued to walk back to the locker room. Thank you for pointing out that you're a drama queen who likes taking things out of context to support ridiculous gossip columns you previously published as newsworthy reports.
"Lynch had ample reason to be upset on Sunday, as the Seahawks were stopped on fourth down three times in the fourth quarter. Midway through the period, on third-and-goal from the Kansas City 4-yard line, Lynch bulled forward for two yards before being gang-tackled. Trailing 24-20, Carroll elected to go for it, but Russell Wilson's pass to Doug Baldwin fell incomplete."
- Carroll elected to go for it, but let's not try making it sound like Carroll was the one that decided to go away from Lynch and have Wilson throw the ball. That was Bevell's decision, as Carroll has very little to do with calling the plays on offense. Everybody in Seattle knows that, but once again... Thanks for pointing out that you're a drama queen taking things out of context and trying to stir up crap where there isn't any.
When a reporter gets basic facts about situations wrong and takes things out of context to support a gossip column he tried pushing on the fanbase months ago; I'm inclined to believe the reporter is full of crap and trying to create smoke where there isn't any.
