Shelby Harris - "Seattle is a Purgatory "

[Mistashoesta]

Speaking to the media, former Seahawk Shelby Harris recalls when he first heard the news of him be traded to Seattle.

“I just remember this one feeling like everyone is staring at me,” Harris continued. “Man, like when I say I cried like a baby—because I was like ‘man, is this going to like mess up everything with my family? Like we have it so good here.’

“Also, I’m thinking like ‘Sh-t, I’m getting traded to the purgatory. We’re about to be trash in Seattle.”

Ex-Seahawk thought he was ‘going to be in purgatory’ when Broncos traded him to Seattle

Just when you think we ran out of things to talk about with the Russell Wilson trade...

If Seattle was "purgatory" than what exactly does that make Denver?

 

[Torc]

He wasn't insulting to Seattle. He basically said he was depressed to be traded and had a hard time getting over that. He doesn't blame that on the team.

 

[onanygivensunday]

No wonder he sucked while he was here.

 

[JPatera76]

Meh he was non factor. Didn’t really do as much as he could’ve let alone should’ve.

Edit after watching interview: Phuck him. (He was a non factor because he didn’t care to be in Seattle and was a whiny bitch. Still is about it.)

Side note it’s a Denver (Sports) Podcast so duh. also The broncos are still shit Shelby.. and now you play with the Browns.. jfc lol

I learned long ago not to bite the hand that feeds or fed.

 

[JPatera76]

this tweet sums it best imo especially the part about “vets “

 

[Jerhawk]

Yeah, well, it was pretty disappointing seeing a multi millionaire NFL veteran going through the motions out there too.

He should be griping about Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt, not the Seahawks.

And actually, he should be thanking us for getting him out of that "Schit Schow" known as Denver.

 

[Rat]

Nobody really saw Seattle as a contender, and he had taken on a leadership role on a team that played somewhere his family was happy. I don't blame him for not being thrilled about the trade, although it's hard to respect him mailing it in.

 

[BlueTalon]

Didn't we let him walk after his first year? I don't remember him being here last year.

He wasn't.

He didn't produce while here... regardless of the reason.

Too many other JAGs to choose from.

H.E. DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS!!!

 

[pittpnthrs]

So it wasn't just the fans that believed Seattle was in a state of purgatory?

 

[BirdsCommaAngry]

Seems like he just wanted to play for Denver to be in Denver and didn't care at all about winning. Smart of Denver to trade a guy who is just punching the clock.

100%, no kidding.

 

[onanygivensunday]

Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned here... how about, before finalizing a trade, you talk to the incoming player(s) to find out if they want to play for your team.

Which fans? We were in purgatory before this trade.

 

[James in PA]

So now he gets to play for the Cleveland Browns with their zero Super Bowl appearances. Enjoy.

 

[pittpnthrs]

Which fans? We were in purgatory before this trade.

Agreed that we were. Fade brought it to light on this board with the word purgatory. He was right.
