It's more about what I wanted from my job than what my job asked of me.
Seattle balked at signing Kolten Wong two years ago when he would have made a real difference. The fact he's here now is driving me nuts, and that's not a criticism of him. At all.
I was shocked the Seahawks didn't draft a quarterback this year. I shouldn't have been. The most consistent this team the past 14 years is its aversion to picking quarterbacks.
The attempt to quantify the likelihood of Will Levis's draft-day tumble into the second round made us all dumber. I'll explain.
The Seahawks certainly have a type, and if you've got an RB next to your name, they pay extra attention in the first rounds of the draft.
I'm wondering how exactly Seattle plans to stock the middle of its defense given the direction it went with its pair of first-round choices.
I can come up with a lot of reasons why Seattle will pick Jalen Carter No. 5 overall. I can come up with almost as many why they won't.
The Seahawks won't be taking a player at the position they've valued most in the draft under John Schneider. They probably won't use the fifth pick on the position they value second-most, either.
For years now, the Mariners have been unreasonably good in close games. That's tough to sustain, though, as we've seen through the first three weeks of this season.
THIS is what we all hoped to see from Jarred Kelenic, and instead of wondering what took so long or speculating how long it will last, I'm just going to go ahead and watch it.
The second act of Nate Burleson's career has him performing (just off) Broadway where he hosts CBS's morning show.
Probably the same reason that blitzes are always dialed up. We've got a certain way we talk about sports, and I aboslutely love it.
