It’s Time to Retire, Kurt

Shaun Dolence — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:06:18 +0000

Trust me.

Since you took the league by storm in 1999, you’ve posted remarkable offensive numbers that are definitely Canton-worthy. Sure, you don’t have the longevity or consistency that other Hall of Fame signal callers have had, but the … [visit site to read more]

Ready For The Draft

Shaun Dolence — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:27:11 +0000

I’m officially ready to start thinking about the NFL Draft. I’m done searching for some sort of emotional connection to this year’s playoffs; I’ve had fun watching the games and rooting for certain teams to win or lose, but it just isn’t … [visit site to read more]

I’ll Have What They’re Having

Shaun Dolence — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:32:57 +0000

The New York Jets are one win away from the Super Bowl. Yes, the NEW YORK JETS.

They haven’t made it this far throwing the ball all over the field. They don’t have an All-Pro quarterback. Hell, they don’t even have much of a home-field … [visit site to read more]

Bitter In Seattle

Shaun Dolence — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:05:42 +0000

What a great weekend for professional football.

Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the Seattle Seahawks. But I’m optimistic that the playoffs will return to Qwest Field sooner than later.

I’m a Seahawks fan; no way did I want to see the … [visit site to read more]

Ready For Carroll

Shaun Dolence — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:07:38 +0000

Count me in.

Pass the Kool-Aid.

I’m excited about Pete Carroll being the next head coach of the Seattle Seahawks.

After hearing Carroll’s press conference earlier this week, I’m sold. He managed to motivate the greater Seattle area in less … [visit site to read more]

USC: University of Seattle Coaches?

Shaun Dolence — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:20:28 +0000

So far, it has worked at the University of Washington.

Steve Sarkisian, former USC offensive assistant and current Washington head coach, transformed an 0-12 joke into a competitive football team after only one season. For the first time in … [visit site to read more]

Ten Reasons Why Jim Mora Was Fired

Shaun Dolence — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 11:15:02 +0000

I’m probably in the minority; I didn’t necessarily think Jim Mora should’ve been fired following Seattle’s miserable 2009 campaign. To be fair, I thought Mora should’ve had another opportunity to right the ship. And honestly, I thought the front … [visit site to read more]

What Now? Report: Seattle Wants Carroll

Shaun Dolence — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 00:15:02 +0000

Today’s news caught me completely off-guard, I must admit.

I didn’t expect Jim Mora’s tenure to end after only one season. I wasn’t impressed with his coaching staff (Greg Knapp and company), but I thought Mora would be given at least another … [visit site to read more]

Reaction: Jim Mora Fired

Shaun Dolence — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:09:51 +0000

Jim Mora is no longer the head of the Seattle Seahawks. Initially reported by Jay Glazer, the Seahawks have fired Mora and are eager to move in another direction. … [visit site to read more]

Walter Jones Plans to Return?

Shaun Dolence — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 08:32:49 +0000

Will Walter Jones return next season? “That’s the goal. I think the last time I talked I said I was going to do everything possible to get back, and I’m still on that road of trying to get back. Hopefully, I still can.”

If Jones’ quote in … [visit site to read more]

Searching For The Next Jack Zduriencik

Shaun Dolence — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:33:25 +0000

Paul Allen, Tod Leiweke, and whoever else will help to determine the next general manager of the Seahawks: please, don’t screw this up. I’m not ready to endure another decade of lousy professional football in Seattle.

Earlier this week, sources … [visit site to read more]

And the Good News …

Shaun Dolence — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:49:37 +0000

The dreadful 2009 football season is finally over; weekly recurrences of disappointment are on hold for at least another eight months or so. Until then, the Seahawks begin what should be an extremely busy offseason for a franchise that hasn’t … [visit site to read more]
