    Hmmm. . . . I have my doubts that the Seahawks have offered him a reasonable contract anywhere near $21 million dollars a year. . . .I think they are trying to get him for the absolute lowest money amount they can, because they feel they have all the leverage. Now I don't doubt that perhaps...

    Holmgren:‘Huge mistake’ if RW doesn’t sign ‘very fair' offer

    Uh, once again. . . .the Seahawks have said that there is no way in hell that Russell gets a thin dime more this year than what the final year of his rookie contract calls for, which is $1.5 million dollars. If he signs a contract today. . . . his present contract is still in effect, and the...

    Holmgren:‘Huge mistake’ if RW doesn’t sign ‘very fair' offer

    Uhh. . . I thought the Seahawks have made it quite clear that they've got Wilson at a salary paying less than 10% of the amount comparable quarterbacks are making this year, and he's not getting a thin dime more money come hell or high water for playing this year. Any contract Wilson signs...

    Holmgren:‘Huge mistake’ if RW doesn’t sign ‘very fair' offer

    Well I might be wrong, but it looks to me like the reason Flacco's salary is only $20.1 million dollars and his cap hit next year is $28.55 million -- is the extra $8.45 million was part of the bonus that he received in year 1 of his contract. In other words. . . . . his compensation for next...

    Holmgren:‘Huge mistake’ if RW doesn’t sign ‘very fair' offer

    Hmm. . .interesting. . . From USA Today. . ."With slight variations to the calculus, the tag is basically worth the average of the top five salaries at the player's position." From the same article, the franchise tag for 2015 for quarterbacks was about $18.5 million dollars. So that means...

    Holmgren:‘Huge mistake’ if RW doesn’t sign ‘very fair' offer

    With all due respect. . . I don't see why it would be such a "huge mistake", at least from the Seahawks point of view. They've got Russ under contract for the next year for a ridiculously low amount -- he'll be making less than 10% of the salary of his quarterback peers. Even if RW doesn't...

    BRADY/PATS PUNISHMENT OVER TURNED BY JUDGE. (Updated 9/3/15)

    A more appropriate punishment would have been for the two low-level grunt employees to have been suspended four games without pay. . . . and for Captain Deflate himself, Tom Brady, to have been indefinitely suspended. . . or at least until he decides he wanted to share the contents of his phone...

    Steve Schilling retiring.

    Sort of like Alan Faneca, an Arizona Cardinal lineman who retired, lost 100 pounds, and became a marathon runner. . . . http://www.runnersworld.com/general-interest/former-300-pound-nfl-lineman-runs-356-marathon

    How good a game would Peyton Manning have had last year. . .

    if the Seattle D had been beat up last year like we were this year against Brady and the Patriots? The D last year held Peyton and the Broncos to 306 yards of total offense, compared to the Patriot's total of 377 yards this year. Interestingly, Seattle's offense did better against the Patriots...

    The Last Days of Football

    Actually a very well written article. . . that does conclude that the Patriots did do something to deflate the footballs, whether legal or illegal. . . .

    By these calculations temp drop might explain "Deflategate"

    Folks. . . Good try on the calculations. . . However, pV = nRT is the ideal gas law. . . for a rigid container. If you are dealing with a gas in a container with non-linear elasticity. . . things become a whole lot more complicated. The calculations might give you a rough guess. . . but...

    Tom Brady PC

    ========================================= Most every discussion of the loss of pressure is based upon the pV = nRT equation. . . .which relates pressure to temperature. The problem is. . . . is that this equation is for a rigid container, which a football isn't. And since it's not a rigid...

    To correct a slight misconception. . .

    Long time lurker, first time poster here. . I've heard numerous people and writers suggest that the Packers beat the Seahawks for 55 minutes. . . but that's just not true. Going through the game log, here's the stats for both teams in the second half and overtime: Green Bay: Yards...
