The Seattle Seahawks lost their Week 1 assignment against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, 17-9, but it’s understandably an unforgettable day for the Seahawks’ rookie defensive tackle Nazair Jones, as he made his pro debut. The contest became even more memorable for Jones when he picked off a pass from two-time league MVP and […]

There could be a lot that Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll didn’t like about the way his team played in Week 1’s 17-9 road loss to the Green Bay Packers, and among those is the play of Seattle’s offensive line. According to Greg Bell of The News Tribune, Carroll was none too pleased with […]

Most of the time, when someone compares a person to Michael Jordan, it’s meant to flatter. Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril, however, found a way to do that without implying greatness, when he said in an interview with Gregg Bell of the News Tribune that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the Michael […]

For the first time in his NFL career, former Pro Bowl running back Eddie Lacy will be taking the field in a regular season game not wearing a Green Bay Packers uniform. Lacy will be doing so with the Seattle Seahawks, with the season opener against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. This has […]

Free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick used to be pursued by Seattle Seahawks pass rusher Michael Bennett behind the San Francisco 49ers offensive line. This time around, however, the controversial quarterback is voluntarily stepping back into the limelight to voice his support of Bennett, who claims that he was unjustly detained by police in Las Vegas […]

Following the Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor fight in Las Vegas on Aug. 26, Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks was detained by Las Vegas police after what sounded like shooting broke out on the Vegas strip. The veteran defensive end claims there was excessive force shown by Las Vegas police while he was […]

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the New York Jets have traded Sheldon Richardson to the Seattle Seahawks for Jermaine Kearse and a second round pick. The teams also swapped seventh rounders. The Seahawks had placed Kearse, as well as Alex Collins and Jeremy Lane, on the trade block earlier this week, but most pundits […]

While no potential destinations were mentioned initially, the Cleveland Browns have emerged as a contender for Kearse’s services.

With roster cuts imminent, a number of NFL teams are moving players on the trade market, often for future draft picks in the latter rounds. Now entering that conversation is the Seattle Seahawks. According to a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Seahawks are fielding offers for wide receiver Jermaine Kearse, cornerback […]

The latest trend of football players sitting on the sidelines when the national anthem is played before games has given birth to two schools of thoughts: the pro and the against. Oakland Raiders great and former wide receiver Tim Brown has made it clear which side he’s on after offering his take on the contentious […]

During the national anthem, prior to the Seattle Seahawks’ 48-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett decided to sit on the bench. This has immediately created a flurry of attention around his choice to sit during the anthem. In fact, Bennett doubled down on his move by stating that […]

The New England Patriots enter the 2017 NFL season as the overall favorite to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Patriots’ front office did its best to ensure this by adding speedy wide receiver Brandin Cooks and re-signing the core of its free agents in the offseason. Quarterback Tom Brady will even have his favorite […]

It’s been a long and winding road, but we’ve finally made it to the NFL’s Wild Card playoffs. On Saturday, one of the best tournaments in sports will finally kick off. Unfortunately, injuries to key players have dimmed the excitement for a few teams. The Raiders‘ grand return to the postseason after 14 years away […]

Time flies by when you having fun. It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in the final week of the regular season, and there are plenty of NFL playoff scenarios left to sort out. A lot was decided in Week 16, though. The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos were all eliminated […]

The Seahawks ended up running away with a fairly easy 24-3 victory over the Rams last night, clinching the NFC West title. But, when the game was still in question, one play made Seattle’s Richard Sherman absolutely irate. The Seahawks held a 10-3 lead with the ball on the LA’s 1-yard line after a short […]

The Seattle Seahawks are still well-positioned to win the NFC West and potentially earn a bye, but they faced a tough defeat on Sunday. The offensive line was ravaged by Tampa Bay, allowing the Buccaneers‘ secondary to dominate Russell Wilson and Seattle’s passing game all day. This is how bad it was: mid-way through the […]

Burglaries have struck a number of NFL players lately. Just this past year, DeMarcus Ware had his Super Bowl ring stolen, and Gerald McCoy‘s home was broken into. This week, Cassius Marsh was the victim of robbery as well, but his losses were a little different. Apparently, Marsh’s “Magic: The Gathering” cards were stolen from […]

It’s been a tough go for Jimmy Graham ever since he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks last season. He changed the narrative on Monday night. Not long ago, Graham was considered the second best tight end in the NFL behind Rob Gronkowski. With Drew Brees tossing him the pigskin, Graham regularly topped, or approached, […]

The Buffalo Bills have received acclaim for making Kathryn Smith the first full-time female coach in NFL history. However, her breakthrough has made her the target of some inappropriate jokes and heckling. During last night’s classic between the Bills and the Seattle Seahawks, one of the 12’s yelled “Waitress!” at Smith over and over again. […]

The end of the first half of last night’s game was a comedy of errors for the officials. With three seconds left before the break, the Bills‘ Dan Carpenter lined up to kick a field goal when Richard Sherman jumped offside. The play was blown dead, but Carpenter continued his kicking motion while Sherman continued […]

Usually, President Obama makes his Super Bowl prediction when the matchup is already set. But, things are changing in the Oval Office. For the first time in eight years, Obama won’t be the President when the Super Bowl champions visit the White House. As his presidency draws to a close, he’s quite busy giving speeches […]

On Sunday night, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner defied gravity, and normal human intuition, twice. In the first half of Seattle’s game against the Cardinals, Wagner successfully leapt over Arizona’s long snapper and blocked a field goal. He made the jump again in overtime, distracting Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro enough to miss what would’ve been the […]

Save for a few Seahawks fans, players, and coaches, mostly everybody thought Richard Sherman interfered with Julio Jones on the Falcons‘ last offensive play on Sunday. If called, Atlanta would’ve had plenty of time to set up the game-winning field goal. Instead, they lost, 26-24. Initially, the no-call didn’t appear all that egregious. But, after […]

Other than a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, the Seattle Seahawks have impressed this season, once again. Seattle is 3-1, and with back-to-back dominant victories, they appear to be Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. Jimmy Graham has finally emerged as a strong offensive threat, Russell Wilson has stayed productive […]

It didn’t look good for Russell Wilson, initially. During yesterday’s dominant victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Wilson was tackled by Eli Harold while scrambling. In the process, Russell’s leg was rolled up on, causing his knee to bend horrifically to the side: https://vine.co/v/5vxIDvLWpeJ After watching the play, many Seahawks fans feared the worst for […]

Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams wasn’t the only thing that the Seattle Seahawks lost this week.

In the third quarter of a sluggish game against the Miami Dolphins, Seahawks fans feared the worst as Russell Wilson came up limp. A 307-pound Ndamukong Suh landed on Wilson’s right ankle while taking him down, causing it to twist in an unusual manner. It was difficult to watch on replay. Yet, Wilson stayed in. […]

On Friday, Call of Duty XP 2016 – a convention on the beloved first-person shooter video game franchise – came to Los Angeles, and so did star athletes. Included in the festivities were Michael Phelps, fresh off his final Olympic appearance, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, and NBA Rookie of the Year Karl-Anthony Towns. […]

In professional sports, we’re accustomed to hearing the same generic answers and sound bites from players across the board. As young athletes are brought up, they’re trained to avoid controversy with their words. As a result, dull interviews that lack real substance are quite common in locker rooms. However, there are some players who refuse […]

Since 2008, the city of Seattle has been without professional basketball. For 41 years, the Seattle SuperSonics were a staple in the Pacific Northwest, beloved throughout the region before being shipped off to Oklahoma City. Basically, ever since their departure there have been efforts by individuals and groups in the area to bring a team back. […]
