Seahawks are Super petty

[CalgaryFan05]

Giving away #3 to anybody, especially a back up CB is pathetic!

In the approximate words of FAKE Sean Connery from the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy:

"Suck it Wilson. Suck it long. And suck it hard!"



I love this shit.

Apparently not for a LOT of Bronco fans and writers who are still butthurt.

They're likely to be butthurt about this trade for a long time. See: Chargers re Ryan Leaf trade.

Frankly I'd suspect that Artie Burns will change numbers once the cuts to 53 happen. This is a non-starter.

I wonder how quickly he would want to change, too. If you know the history of that number for the Seahawks over the last 10 years, it has had it's ups, and downs. And in that order.

Obviously the best and winningest quarterback in Seahawks history. Guided us to only Super Bowl victory. Clearly headed to Ring of Honor! Definitely deserves to have #3 retired. Carroll needs to check the ego and respect the accomplishments!

Seahawks policy is to only retire the numbers of Seahawk players who have been inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. Russ isn't there yet, and it's going to be a long while before he makes it (if he makes it).

Oh, and the fans, of course.

The standard for jersey retirement with the Seahawks is guys who spent extended periods of time as the top 1-2 players at their position, 1st Team All-Pro, Hall of Fame level players. Russ was very good, but he wasn't that. Tez, Largent, Easley, Jones and Wagner.

Minor point of correction, Wagner's number is still in use. All the others are in the HOF.

Is it bad to hope that Artie Burns keeps #3 and plays so well that in a few years we retire #3 for him?

 

[toffee]

They waited and waited, until someone with the word 'BURNS" in his name.

It is pretty amazing how flying under the radar (or is it being ignored because we are irrelevant to the rest of the NFL?) works in our favor. From the outside they automatically assumed our success was because of our QB. I wonder if the Donkeys like bridges...

Minor point of correction, Wagner's number is still in use. All the others are in the HOF.

I was referring to Wagner amongst the small number of players who have met that high standard. He has, even if he weren't to play another snap as a Seahawk. My apologies if that was difficult to follow from the sentence that preceded his inclusion.

 

[Hawk4life]

Anybody have some suggestions on how we can have some fun playing into our "Super Petty" label?

I feel like there's a subtle message being sent, but I can't quite decipher it. We might need to bring in some scholars for this

I think he understood your point...his reponse was in harmless play.

Every team in every sport should retire 23.

Veering off FB, but understand the logic. Clearly, one of the greatest all time competitor’s.

Yeah...#3 Burns...Burnt bridges...

I wasn’t aware that number 3 was supposedly off-limits? Who cares. As mentioned; 31, 25, and I think 29 all currently being worn by other players. Why give Russ and the #3 the hero worship?

 

[AROS]

I smell a troll.

 

[evergreen]

They let that guy wear 31!

I think the headline was meant to read:

The Seahawks are Super Pretty.

...like Muhammed Ali calling himself pretty...

(...that induced memories of the pic of the LOB at ET3s wedding with him wearing a cape... always makes me chuckle.)
