For Tez, it’s a ‘Big Dawg’s’ life
Is it even possible to have a Seahawks 35th Anniversary team without Cortez Kennedy? It’s a question that doesn’t even need to be asked, because the obvious answer is, “Of course not.” “But it’s still great,” Kennedy said when informed of the obvious. “Really, that’s great.” So was Kennedy, who redefined the definition of dominant [...]
And the Seahawks will select …
The NFL Draft is one month away, with the first round scheduled to take place April 28 and the remaining rounds set for April 29-30. There’s also a new batch of mock drafts circulating in cyberspace, and the following sampling of four has the Seahawks using the 25th pick overall on four different players — [...]
Brown: It all started with him
Of all the statistics the late Dave Brown compiled during his 11-season career with the Seahawks, the most impressive might be the one that is most often overlooked. The Ring of Honor cornerback started every game he played: 159. Only five other position players on the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team can make that claim: left tackle [...]
Seahawks pick up extra pick
The Seahawks were awarded an additional seventh-round draft choice today when the NFL doled out 32 compensatory picks in April’s draft to 23 teams. The Seahawks’ extra pick is the 41st in the final round, No. 241 overall. They already had seven picks: No. 25 in the first round; No. 57 overall in the second [...]
12th Man fan
Voting in the opening round of SportsNation’s bracket-style competition to determine who will grace the cover of the Madden NFL 12 video game ends Sunday. Unless you’ve been blinded by that other bracket-style competition that will carry March Madness into an early-April crowning of the NCAA basketball champion, you’re well aware that the Seahawks are [...]
Robinson impressed, and impressive
Eugene Robinson knew he had been voted to the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team. That’s because I told him in December, when Robinson was here for the Carolina Panthers’ game at Qwest Field, that the readers of Seahawks.com had selected him as the free safety on the best-of-the-best defensive unit. But Robinson, the radio analyst for Panthers [...]
Sinclair in good company
Being selected to the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team made a significant impact on Michael Sinclair because of the players who weren’t. “There are a lot of guys who gave their best that are not on that list,” Sinclair said. “So I’m glad that the fans thought I was a pretty good player and put me [...]
Green Alliance is golden
Paul Allen’s social conscience runs even deeper than his pockets. Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft and owner of the Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers and part of the Sounders FC ownership, is seeing his vision for reducing the impact of professional sports leagues on the environment come into focus. Monday at Safeco Field, the [...]
12th Man: We’ve got it covered
So who belongs on the cover of the Madden 2012? Michael Vick? Aaron Rodgers? Matt Ryan? Enough with the quarterbacks, already. How about the 12th Man? The crowd that generates all that excitement – not to mention ear-ringing and even earth-shaking noise – at Qwest Field is in the field to make the cover of [...]
Far from the Norm
Norm Johnson’s reaction when told he had been selected as the kicker on the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team was equal parts satisfaction and surprise. “That’s totally cool. I’m excited,” Johnson said. “It’s just surprising that people remember me.” Actually, “hard to forget” might be a better description of Johnson being included on the read-selected team [...]
