They are really setting up the pile on. Here's two stories today concerning us. I really hope this stuff gets posted in meeting rooms and stuff.

3. Seattle Seahawks
Eight years after entering the league as an expansion team, the Seahawks retired the number 12. This honored Seattle's fans and was a clear sign that the franchise was worried that they may never have a number to retire. (It's not like they could hang Jim Zorn's jersey in the rafters, after all.) At the time, it was cute - the professional sports equivalent of a participation trophy - but now it seems bush league. Fans are fans. And despite what the city will tell you, Seattle fans aren't louder than any other fanbase. It's just that thousands of people screaming in the middle of a wide-open stadium is always going to be produce less cacophony than thousands of people screaming inside a stadium that has the acoustics of an aluminum coffin during a thunderstorm.

14. Pete Carroll, Seattle Seahawks
People seem to forget that Carroll was a downright failure in his first two stints as a head coach in the NFL. He led the New York Jets to a 6-10 record as their head coach in his only season back in 1994. Then, from 1997-99, Carroll posted a combined 27-21 record in New England before Bill Belichick ultimately replaced him. While Carroll has had success in Seattle (two conference titles and a Lombardi), he’s also among the most overrated coaches in the game.
Last season was a prime example of this. With injuries and the lack of elite talent we’ve seen in the past, Carroll’s Seahawks posted a 9-7 record and missed the playoff completely. It will certainly be interesting to see how this squad performs entering a 2018 season in which both Los Angeles and San Francisco are considered better squads in the NFC West.
