The possible demise of Twitter would be bad for me professionally. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy the hell out of watching the tech-broish cadre of know-it-alls make a flaming hash of their business.
Smith's incredible finish to Sunday's game was a reminder that – for all the importance of a franchise quarterback – NFL teams tend to be puzzlingly stupid about that position in one respect.
Arizona didn't have to quit Kyler Murray, but they didn't have to go all-in with him, either yet they extended the quarterback in spite of several warning signs.
The Pete Carroll Experience has been rebooted in Seattle, a second honeymoon is underway just six months after everyone was wondering if the crazy ol' coot knew what the hell he was doing.
Quitting on time will feel like you're quitting early. That's a conclusion from a new book on decision-making, something exemplified by Seattle's wisdom in trading Russell Wilson.
That is true for more than just Sunday's game against the Giants. The first half of this season have shown clearly that it wasn't Seattle's offense that was limiting Russell Wilson.
I’m not sure if it’s hypocritical to mock Russel Wilson for the exact type of behavior that used to be cited as a reason for his success, but it sure as hell doesn’t make any sense.
You should worry about your predictions being wrong. It doesn’t mean you should keep your opinion to yourself, but tempering your certainty is actually an important communication tool. An example:
If you still feel Pete Carroll was holding the Seahawks back then your opinion is more reflective of your desire to be right than it is the information that is available.
Spelling names correctly was the biggest challenge of the most demanding job I've ever had. It also resulted in the funniest half of a phone conversation I've ever heard.
The 'transparency' that has followed Russell Wilson's departure has been illuminating in some ways, but it also makes me wonder about media motivations, including my own.
It’s strange watching those members of the Seattle media who were devoted zealots of Wilson now try and position themselves at the front of parade celebrating his decline
