Field Gulls Managing Editor, covering the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Occasional Track and Field columnist for SB Nation. I watch a lot of sports.
I don't think people realize how short this CB room is if/when Riq walks.

5'11, 6'0, and 6'0 and none of then jump like Brent Grimes and all of whom (including much beloved Spoon) can be had by more physical receivers.

Moore intrigues me given how smooth he looks but injuries are a worry.

I think that makes up for the ridiculousness that was the 2014 gold medal game.

WHAT A GOAL!!!!

Thinking about that time the Canucks blew an OT game so badly that all their guys were caught out of position on a missed shot and the Blues had a 3-on-0 breakaway winner seconds later.

It feels weird that the US pulling the goalie with 2 minutes left in the offensive zone is being discussed as a bold move. Either the international game is way different than modern NHL or these analysts are stuck in an era of hockey that is way out of date.

I know Kenny Albert is the top hockey announcer, but as someone who doesn’t watch the NHL, all I think about when I hear his voice on a call is, damn, it’s barely November and the New York Giants are already out of playoff contention.

Canada is having a hard time clearing the defensive zone and it feels like the USA have to find a way to take advantage of that at some point.

Asked Daniel Jeremiah about potential replacements for Riq Woolen should the Seahawks not retain him.

He cited Julian Neal of Arkansas and Devin Moore of Florida, both guys who could be available at pick 64. Highlighted what a good blitzer Moore is in particular.

Transcript coming soon!

Daniel Jeremiah ranking the depth at certain positions for teams without a first-round pick:

"[In order] Wide receiver, cornerback, d-tackle"

Sees far more depth at WR and CB than DT.

For the Canadian contingent, Daniel Jeremiah on BC offensive lineman Logan Taylor:

"I like the fact that he can play inside and outside at right guard and right tackle."

Believes he is better at guard but has concerns about his quickness and will be watching his shuttle drills in the combine.

Pre-NFL combine media conference call with Daniel Jeremiah starting shortly. I'm on the call and will post any notable thoughts especially if they could pertain to the Seahawks.

Shoutout to the lady whose very heated conversation was unmuted before the call started.

Part 2 is almost done but god damn it's hard to write about myself, which is why every journal I do (which is what, five published?) takes forever.

It's kinda messed up and funny that Max Brosmer had to play that Seahawks defense.

If some high profile divorcee is going to buy the Seahawks it better be @seahawksnerd75.bsky.social.

Amish Paradise music video is the best.

"Fat" is underrated.
you are all fools the REAL music question that will cause intergenerational warfare on bluesky is actually: what is weird al's signature song?

Usain Bolt hadn't run his 9.58 100-meter world record yet the last time Gina Carano competed in MMA.

The UFC was still on Spike when Carano's last fight happened.
Mark Coleman has fought more recently than Gina Carano

Helwani saying Rousey vs. Carano is "The shot of adrenaline MMA has been lacking" sums up his level of deep analysis to me.

Being on the road meant eating food I don't normally eat regularly.

To which I say...

Shake Shack, despite your high costs relative to your competitors, I was impressed with your performance.

A little nervous about the Fleury hire given the Seahawks' only other bald OC hire in franchise history is Grubb.

Unironically last week might have been the first time since leaving Bloody Elbow I had no idea there was a UFC card going on.
Most of these upcoming UFC cards aren't even worth watching back the next morning. I'm watching the Horiguchi fight and that's it, fuck this.
