Interesting perspective this article presents...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... o-seattle/

Ok, I thought this was all behind us? Do any of you folks think there is a real concern over whether a drug test is going to come up dirty again?

I'm putting the Adderall episode behind me and considering it a non-issue moving forward. I'm also confident that Pete & John are too. I mean, are we really thinking we need to protect ourselves against future transgressions by bringing in a "top-shelf" backup CB? Nope, our FO saw an opportunity to grab a sweet acquisition to augment an already killer group.

I'm going to say AW is here because he just wanted to be part of something special, and there is no reason to believe he is thinking he's joining a team of speed junkies that gives him the best chance to eventually start. Who thinks-up this crap?

Thoughts?

(edit: wrong link...)

The drug thoughts are just WAG's. They have no relavence. Sure he can play outside if needed, but he's mainly a nickle corner and we were awful at Nickle last year. He provides an upgrade. that's all I need to know.

When I read this the other day I kept thinking wow Florio this article is a joke. The comments that followed tend to agree, garbage and silliness is all this is.

Florio is a joke. He throws crap against the wall hoping ANYTHING sticks. Even if it doesn't stick, he will write about it anyway.

I can't stand Floria or pft, now I'm mad at myself for clicking that link...

Florio retrieved this passage directly from within his colon. Why NBC keeps paying this clown actual money while a thousand better bloggers put out better work for free every day is beyond me.

He probably was disappointed the Vickies low balled him after his years and had the ties to us.

Simple enough and completely transparent.

I speak with no hyperbole here. That was hands down one of the stupidest things I've ever read in my life.

I normally enjoy Florio but once in a while he flies off the rails. This is one of those times.

There is only one reason that Winfield signed with us. He wants to win a ring. His choices were to stay with broken Minn led by Ponder or come to Seattle who was a pash rusher away from going to at least the NFC Championship game with a dynamic rookie QB and a shut down D. Come on, there really was no choice.

Article wasn't worth the seconds I wasted reading it.

PFT is good for the breaking news headlines (player signings, trades, injuries) but i can't really stand the writing itself.

Florio really turned me off when he said he honestly believes that the Hawks should forfeit the GB game last year after the fact.

If Sherman/Browner pissed dirty for Adderall again.. they would deserve a suspension longer than 8 games out of sheer stupidity.

This may be the worst article he has written. Just terrible research and assumptions.

Winfield will not be in the starting lineup even if BOTH Sherman and Browner go out. He is signed to play the slot, and only the slot. Lane and Thurmond would play outside if we needed both starter spots filled.

Yeah it was just a few weeks ago when Florio was writing how Sidney Rice would be gone this year because of the Percy Harvin trade...smh

I was starting to think Florio sounded like a bitter Vikings fan in that article.

Guess what?

Florio, 44, an erstwhile Vikings fan living in Steelers country, began his blog in 2001 as a sideline to his law practice.

--NYTimes.

It all makes sense now. Also explains him trying to spread the rumor that Sidney Rice would be cut because of Harvin. Don't pay attention to anything this guy has to say about Seattle from this point forward.
