2021 Rookie Quarterback Rankings: Have the Texans found their new quarterback?
It’s Week 16 of the NFL season, and our rookie quarterbacks are now in the home stretch, with some living up to the hype and others not so much. Now let’s look at how last year’s draft class fared in Week 16....
These teams did not go quietly into the night in Week 13, their seasons may be done but they gave their home fans at least one last smile to take into the holidays
Be honest with yourselves because I’m about to be honest with you, I didn’t expect much from this Week 13 slate of the NFL season. With just over 1/4th of the regular season remaining, there were four teams on a bye week and the only one of those four teams has a record under .500 (the Carolina Pant...
Revisiting the Bears' absurd offer for Russell Wilson
The most recent NFL offseason was so chock full of Aaron Rodgers news that it’s easy to forget all the drama that surrounded Russell Wilson and his relationship with the Seattle Seahawks. While Wilson claimed he wanted to remain in Seattle, he did express discontent with how team personnel decisions...
Seattle GM: Who needs a Gold Glove shortstop who hits home runs?
Jerry Dipoto is either stupid or a liar. Probably the latter, but don’t discount the former....
DK Metcalf’s meltdown against Green Bay might be window into cracks in Pete Carroll’s culture in Seattle
If you don’t live on the West Coast or just have not paid much attention, the Seattle Seahawks look to be falling apart at the seams. DK Metcalf’s ejection from Sunday’s 17-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers may sum up the season for Seattle. Maybe Metcalf was confused after being ejected. Or maybe he ...
Week 10 NFL Powerless Ranking: There's a new team at the bottom
We’re in the second half of the NFL season, and now we know who the contenders are and which teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about the least fortunate teams in the league. So, let’s check out the worst of the worst from Week 10...
Pete Carroll finally making some sense — but will it be enough to keep Russ cookin’ in Seahawks kitchen?
Pete Carroll and Seattle Seahawks fans are getting a taste of what life without Russell Wilson could be like if he leaves the franchise. The Seahawks were struggling before Wilson injured his right middle finger in their Week 5 game against the Rams, and they’re now 0-2 without him in the starting l...
The Mannings are back to try to save a far-from-marquee <em>Monday Night Football</em> matchup
The Manning brothers took a one-fifth season hiatus, but they were back yesterday for the fourth Manningcast of the 2021 NFL Season. Eli and Peyton returned to their respective dens, or basements, or whatever on ESPN2 providing their commentary on a low-scoring Saints-Seahawks Monday Night Football ...
Cam Newton’s odds of being signed are looking up now that he’s vaccinated
Former MVP Cam Newton hasn’t stepped foot on an NFL field since he was released by the New England Patriots just days before the regular season. Now that Newton is vaccinated, it seems his chances of catching on with a team this season may have increased....
Turns out Jamal Adams wasn’t saying HE was the best in the nation
The most recent Sunday Night Football matchup featured the Russell Wilson-less Seahawks taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. The game itself was nothing special as the Steelers managed to squeak by the injury-riddled Seahawks 23-20 in overtime. Aside from the weird fumble play that happ...
Thursday Night Football offers up Rams as ultimate ‘eye test’ for Seahawks
The NFC West is the best division in football. Don’t give me any of that AFC North business. I love the Browns and Ravens. I think the Bengals are on the upswing of their rebuild, but Cincy and the Steelers are still definitely not contenders in the AFC. Any team in the NFC West could win the confer...
The fastest quarterback to win 100 regular-season games is Black — his name is Russell Wilson
Sunday was a huge day for Russell Wilson. His team, the Seattle Seahawks, knocked off the 49ers on the road, 28-21, avoiding the distinction of worst record in the highly contested NFC West. Wilson’s name, meanwhile, was solidified in the record books in a way once thought impossible for a man who l...
Why are fans OK with this?
MLB would like us to think that there was a poignant moment in the A’s-Astros game, and to a lesser extent the Mariners one. It’s when Carlos Correa and Kyle Seager were pulled from the game mid-inning to receive a standing ovation from the crowd. ...

What the hell happened to the once-mighty Seahawks?
The Seattle Seahawks’ season has taken a turn for the worse since their Week 1 victory over the Colts in Indianapolis. They’ve dropped back-to-back games, allowing 30 or more points in each. In Week 2, the Seahawks had firm control of the game at home, but a Tennessee Titans second-half rally led to...
...If it weren’t for those meddling Mariners
Friday, July 23. If you’re an A’s fan or player, you wake up feeling pretty good. I’d say it’s a beautiful day in the Bay Area, but July tends to be pretty miserable there. And anyway, you’re in Seattle this morning, and it is lovely there. As far as your team’s fortunes, everything is ok. Not great...
The Seahawks lost more than the Titans won yesterday
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks pulled a Dennis Schröder by fumbling away what appeared to be a guaranteed victory at halftime. Coming out of the locker room for the second half, the Seahawks held a firm 24-9 lead over the Titans. At least that’s what the Seahawks and their fans figured, for a while...
