The deckhands must think they’re running the boat.

He had an opportunity, HE WALKED AWAY FROM IT. TWICE.

I don't think that many people realize that he actually quit. He wasn't "let go". He just didn't get re-hired.

Heard Rush today say that the owners feel this will blow over and that the TV money will always be there. After all, what the hell else are the networks going to show on a Sunday afternoon. Rush missed the point, sure, the TV money will always be there but at what price? Does the NFL think that the networks are going to come to the table willing to pay maximum price to broadcast games nobody is watching? If that were the case, the XFL would have been a hit.

They are now. The ship is adrift, the Captain and Staff are asleep and all the passengers are drunk. Did the bulge pumps just quit?

hey, I live here in Washington too....can't stand the Hawks now as they are....primarily because I can't stomach their coach and their arrogant players...

fondly remember the day of Zorn and Largent....

Making demands, ‘negotiating,’ giving ultimatums.

Radical and terrorists never change their tactics.

Stuff I heard on talk radio is Russell Wilson is considered an oreo, black on the outside white on the inside, by the other African-Americans in the locker room. The sentiment was Kaep if signed should start ahead of Wilson.

As a non-fan of the Seahags, I like the idea of benching the guy with the Superbowl ring (and should be two) in favor of the guy who can't play QB. Black guys seem to like being victims so becoming perennial punching bags in the NFC will appeal to their sense of victimhood.

The klaxon warning is deafening, but this swab wants to rearrange chairs on the poopdeck.

the last time I watched the Shawks was when Hasselbeck was QB. And the press there demonized him because he was a Republican and in-law to Liz Hasselbeck.

Umm.

Well.

There might also be that teensy little record of losing games instead of winning them.

That might concievably be a factor.

He had his opportunity and he blew it. No team needs a locker room drama queen as a distraction.

Yup, which is why a coerced hiring will naturally result in an eventual cut in the not-to-distant future. And it's that cut that will bring down the ire of the newly radicalized players on the coach who is in the inevitable position of having to do it.

No one has to talk to anyone. withdraw all government support at all levels and watch the income from the media fall to nothing. when it is all gone I will not miss it at all.

The whole stupid and untrue logic to this is that the NFL has large value to each citizen but that is pure BS. It has no value to most of our citizens and they will not put up with spoiled rotten idiots who contribute nothing to our society throwing tantrums.

If the NFL is not on next weekend no one will be hurt except for the players and owners. They give us, our culture, and our society nothing to begin with so they will not be missed.

Get the hell off of my TV and go back where you came from.

If Michael Bennett is so enamel red with KC, why don’t he get the Seahawks owner to hire the cancer. He’d work out so well in Seattle.

Maybe Kaperdick can get a job at Hertz, jumping over turnstiles.
