    Russell Wilson sightings

    Gosh, is this Russell's post-NFL destiny, ie baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters? Is he auditioning to become a color man as MNF's next version of Dennis Miller?

    Is it me or why didn’t they just franchise Walker?

    Agreed about K9. The remark about his being butthurt about having to share carries is unfair IMO. Every player wants to play, and all good running backs are going to want to carry the ball. Does that mean that he's a bad teammate or that he's selfish? Not unless there's something else to go...

    Is it me or why didn’t they just franchise Walker?

    That's a good point. And to play off of it, GM's need to nurture a positive relationship with player agents, and it's not a good look for them to abuse things like a FT on a running back that only a handful of teams have done. Walker's agent is Drew Rosenhaus, who is arguably the most...

    Vrabel & Russini

    Yeah, I'd heard about that one. That woman is a slut. I don't blame Crissy Froyd for calling her out like she did. Indeed, I admire her for it. It hurts all aspiring females that are trying to do things right for one of them to act like Russini has. It's a little off topic, but when I first...

    Vrabel & Russini

    Thanks, I appreciate your acknowledgement. There's other factors that has kept this story in the headlines. First of all, it's the offseason, and a slow time of the year for sports in general. Secondly, it involves sex, a subject that needs no analysis or explanation of terms. We're all...

    Vrabel & Russini

    Why do people care? It’s none of our business. If you were their employer, it would be a huge problem and very much your business. And, there's some allegations that are very disturbing that could have affected competitiveness if Russini were publishing false or misleading stories designed to...

    Is it me or why didn’t they just franchise Walker?

    I'm reminded of our last MVP running back, Shaun Alexander. He had a huge, record setting season and took us to a Super Bowl during his contract year. The following spring, we opened up the bank vault for him, made him what was at the time the highest paid running back in NFL history. Does...

    Vrabel & Russini

    When this first broke, I didn't think it had a snowball's chance in hell of affecting Vrabel's job. But this story has taken on a life of its own, and now I'm not so sure. Every day, another picture/video, another part of the continuing saga leaks out. So far, neither the Patriots nor the...

    Vrabel & Russini

    Wow is what I say. And you're right, if Russini's career wasn't toast before this, it almost certainly is now. No one is going to hire that slut.

    Vrabel & Russini

    Yeah, it's one of those "the pot calling the kettle black" propositions. It's a similar to the dilemma that will face Vrabel when he goes to counsel players on their compliance with the league's personal conduct policy. It undermines his credibility. As far as Russini's career is concerned, I...

    Vrabel & Russini

    What Crissy Froyd said that was wrong is what @ivotuk highlighted in bold: We know who you really are and what you've been up to for years. It was a cheap shot, a very personal and insulting statement made in public that in another setting, would be fighting words. It was not the product of a...

    Vrabel & Russini

    I don't agree. Because her articles appear in USA Today, readers will automatically associate her with that publication, and as such, USA Today has a right to establish their own standards regarding the opinions expressed in their name even when it is done outside their own platform. She...

    Best Seahawks quote

    Nice subject for the offseason, and the quotes rival Yogi-isms as a source of entertainment.

    Vrabel & Russini

    I know you said that in jest, but that's exactly why The Athletic suspended and likely would have fired Russini from her job had she not quit. Publications like the NYT pride themselves on objective reporting and analysis regardless of the subject matter, and her having one of 50 votes for the...

    Vrabel & Russini

    If everything was sweet and innocent as they both initially claimed, he would have said so in his statement. Couple this statement with Russini's abrupt resignation from her job with The Athletic and it's as close to an admission of guilt as one can get without actually saying it.

    25 QBs have been signed in the NFL

    Hard to say. Success at the position as a player doesn't always translate into success as a coach/mentor. Some of the best quarterback coaches weren't worth a crap as a player and vise versa.

    Vrabel & Russini

    Agreed. Although I think that there could be some sexism in some people's minds that makes it a worse look for Russini than Vrabel, there's a big difference in their lines of employment. What Russini did was highly unethical and likely against her company's policies regarding conflicts of...

    25 QBs have been signed in the NFL

    Nit picking? I beg your pardon. I never said that a league MVP was a prerequisite for a QB's induction to the HOF. I was simply stating a fact. Russell has never been considered the best at his position and not ever getting a single vote for league MVP illustrates that fact. At his best, he...

    25 QBs have been signed in the NFL

    Ryan and Favre had MVP's, something that Russell never earned. What's more, even in his best years, Russell never received a single vote for league MVP. There's a panel of 50 some voters and he can't get a vote from any of them? Love him or hate him, one has to look at his HOF chances...

    Love The Sonics. Hate The NBA.

    Catilin Clark may have had an impact on the NBA in that she could have generated interest in the sport with some women that otherwise might not have been fans. It's a similar effect that Tiger Woods had on golf, that he got more young blacks interested in the sport as they were able to identify...
