I feel like it's gonna be someone special. Maybe not as special as Shaun Alexander. Fredy Montero? Sigi Schmid? Sark? D Jax? BOBBY ENGRAM? John Olerud? Bret Boone? Jeff Bezos? Sir Mix-A-Lot? Still a lot of great names out there.

Well on MNF against Green Bay it was..... Trent Dilfer. Yay. Hopefully we don't follow those same guidelines.

I am so hoping you guys made a typo. You mean former Mariners utility infielder Mark Mclemore and not the semi-popular local white rap artist, right? RIGHT?

Macklemore would make sense in that Pete's tweeted about him and the touchdown music is Macklemore's, I'd be plenty happy with it.
I'm a fan of Macklemore. If you haven't heard, "Thrift Shop" yet, or "My Volvo" youtube it now. This coming from a country guy. I'm alright if he's our anointed flag man Sunday evening.

i love the thrift shop song... then i saw seahawk shirts and huskie shirts in the music video and was like hmm they must be from the northwest...
I would prefer Shaun Alexander or Holmgren's mustache but Macklemore would be good too. Just because I can only imagine what it would feel like for a hometown guy like him to get to do that.

Mack is the man, gives nothing but Love and Props to Seattle and the PNW.

I think Macklemore is going to be a real big name real soon. Dude is phenomenal.

I don' think so. very mediocre, at best. Even Trent Dilfer is better than this.

If the hawks want a musician to raise the flag Sunday get a real one. That dude is a wangster.

My Volvo isn't by Macklemore.. That's Grynch's song.

Seriously, I think this is reaching the ridiculous level. I thought the flag raising used to be special but now? This is the best they can come up with?
How about Ann and Nancy Wilson who's band Heart just went into the rock n roll hall of fame.

Once again, it breaks into a fight about musical preferences. If they have Heart as Rob says, half the place would be screaming about "old" and "they haven't been relevant since the 80's" and "they suck", but if you have a current artist, you have the exact opposite stances.
Fact is; Raising the 12th man flag isn't about who's cool, or who's music you prefer folks. It's about representing us; the Seahawks nation and our community. This guy bleeds blue and green, and gives our community a voice. He's an excellent choice to represent me by raising our flag, regardless of how much I like or dislike rap.

Oh, and you seriously said Ken Griffey JR?!? Seriously? The guy that rode through town and waved goodbye to Seattle with a middle finger and fist full of cash, only to return for his swan song and make everything ok again? What's next, Alex Rodriguez to raise it? Screw that. Compare them to Gary Payton or Walter Jones, who lives, loves, and breathes Seattle and Seattle sports.
Ken Griffey Jr can go to hell and raise their flag. I don't want him anywhere near my 12th man material. /Rant again

I can't believe I just read this on a Seattle sports forum. How can anyone not appreciate what Griffey Jr. brought to the realm of Seattle sports? An icon. He's a legend, one of the greatest ballplayers I've ever seen, and a truly wonderful person. He built the Seattle Mariners, made them exciting.
Plus, as it has been pointed out, Griffey left to be closer to home. He certainly doesn't deserve to be reviled for that decision.

Macklemore isn't just a rapper he is a local voice that is huge on an international level and he uses his exposure to talk about serious subjects that most musicians wouldn't even attempt to breach because try font have the mental capacity. He is a great artist who genuinely puts his heart into his music and is incredibly popular and I couldn't be more proud to have him raise the flag on Sunday, and if you don't like it go punch yourself in the dick.

Completely agree, so my point about extreme sides of an argument seems to have been effective.

Seahawks average 58 points when Jon Kitna raises the flag. Invite him back.
I'm not biased.

I'm sold on Mack raising the flag...good job, sir. His music is OK, but you're right, he represents what the 12th man embodies.

If you can't see that having an independent LOCAL artist who is blowing the doors off of the recording industry and talking about real issues like gay rights, materialism in the youth today, and has even written heart warming tribute songs about Dave Niehaus and Jean Enersen and maintains a positive and fun demeanor and is actually a dope MC...then your post is stupid.
