Last Night's Celebration of Pete (Pictures)

[Jerhawk]

Great pictures. Glad to see the players show up to support him.

I too thought it was an old photo. Spectacular. Russ gets some props.

Sherm talks more about this celebration party here:

I’ll lay off Russ. That was an incredibly nice gesture.

I’m still glad he absolutely sucked in Denver but, no more bashing.

Ciara must’ve been dancing at the strip club…

AAAARRRGGGHHHH…I can’t stop.

The cynic in me says a large reason of why Russ showed up was to do some PR damage control for the monumental hit his image took last year.

I'm sure part of him is being genuine, but IMO he also saw last night as a good opportunity to get some warm and fuzzy pics of him and Pete on social media.

Lots of old timers in the pic, few current players?

Did Russ really bring his agent? Is that Rogers next to him?

Think that's Carl Smith, Pete's longtime adviser.

Party was put together last minute. Russ must have flew in on his private jet.

Dawg, you joined this site in 2014. Was that your first year being a Seahawks fan?

Well gee Wally, you're old enough to know not to call out a fan's fandom on this site, right? I've been around since ground Chuck.

I just don't have all the faces from the past years memorized, especially since most of them I only see during game day with helmets on.
That is why I asked, so I could know.

 

[ZagHawk]

I have seen this picture circulating, some people are saying it's old. Just curious if its come out that it really is last night? if so that's cool they all came out to support.

 

[ZagHawk]

Yeah I'm pretty sure he prefers Pete's style over Sean Payton's now.

I mean who doesn't want to feel special, but the question is whether or not that was good for the team as a whole.

It is from last night. Sherm talked about it on his show today with Skip and specifically mentioned a lot of guys in the pictures, including how Russ flew in to show his support.

You're absolutely right. I apologize.

Cool. Thanks for the update. I am genuinely surprised Sherm showed his support because he seemed to have A LOT of bad blood with the Seahawks didn't he?

 

[hgwellz12]

Kind of shocked that KJ didn't make it.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fans and Media tried HARD to make it sound like the players hated Pete, blah blah blah. Wrong. He was clearly not just their coach, but a mentor, a father figure and a friend. Yeah, they all sure look like they hate Pete

I bet that hurt to say

(it's a joke, lighen up.......ahead of time)

Water under the bridge. Sherm is one of Pete's biggest fans these days. The two are pretty close.

One thing I have learned over the 45 years I have been alive is that "Bad Blood" between professionals, especially athletes, would have to be REALLY thick for a guy to not show up for the man that believed in him enough to draft him and won a Lombardi with him.

These are grown ass men. All the shit Sherm has been through in his personal life makes the business side of a GAME that they are MILLIONAIRES from kinda minute.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I get a feeling he's tight with most or all of them.
