Seahawks CB Richard Sherman Still Holding Grudge Against Crabtree

Richard Sherman appears on tonight’s debut episode of American Muscle on the Discovery Channel and he takes us right back to that tiff with Michael Crabtree near the end of the NFC title game, Erik Brady of USA Today reports.

“It’s much more of just I don’t like the dude,” Sherman says in the episode, which was viewed early by For The Win. “You know what I’m saying. And I think he’s sorry. So it’s really what it comes down to.”

Sherman, the Seahawks cornerback, tipped a pass intended for Crabtree, the 49ers receiver, and the pass was intercepted, sealing the Seahawks’ trip to the Super Bowl. Sherman famously ranted to Erin Andrews about Crabtree moments later.

“It’s just about him, it’s just about Crabtree,” Sherman says on tonight’s show.

“It’s not going to be something that goes away. I hope to play him every year for the rest of my career and choke him out. There’s not much else I can say about the subject. Nobody will understand it but him and me. That’s all that needs to understand.”

Richard Sherman Lands The ‘Madden 15′ Cover – A Bad Omen?

June 9th, 2014

Posted in News

Seahawks defensive back Richard Sherman has won the Madden NFL 15 Cover Vote. Sherman faced off against Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in the finals and was revealed as the winner of the fan-voted cover in a special segment on SportsCenter.

“Richard Sherman is a fantastic cover athlete selection by the fans,” said Anthony Stevenson, Vice President of Global Marketing for EA SPORTS. “Defense is a big focus for Madden NFL 15, and Sherman is one of the brightest defensive stars in the NFL. He shares the same energy and passion for the game as our ‘legion’ of Madden fans.”

While it will be cool to see Sherman on the cover every day when you start ‘Madden,’ you have to worry about the famous ‘Madden cover Jinx’ that seems to stop players from staying healthy.

Previewing The 2014 Seattle Seahawks Schedule Release

April 10th, 2014

Greg Cohen

Posted in Tickets

The Seattle Seahawks schedule looks like that of a defending Super Bowl champion, as they have to take on the Cowboys, Giants, Packers, Broncos and Raiders on their own field. Pete Carroll and the ‘Hawks should be up to the challenge, however, as they haven’t lost many players over the course of the offseason and lost just one game at home a year ago.

As studly home defenders with the “12th Man” leading the charge, how Seattle fares at home really isn’t the question. Neither is how they fare on the road, really, either, as they lost just two games away from home last year, as well. The road gets tougher for defending Super Bowl champs, though, and the Seahawks will see it up close when they travel to Philadelphia, Washington, Carolina, Kansas City and San Diego.

Seattle does clearly get their toughest battles on their home field (Packers and Broncos), but still have to go win the games, while also worrying about a very tough and increasingly more competitive NFC West division.

All 2014 Opponents

Home: Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders

Away: Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers

Pete Carroll Gets New Three-Year Deal From Seahawks

April 4th, 2014

Posted in News

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has a new three-year deal which runs through 2016. This is a new deal, not an extension of the old one, Todd Dybas of the Tacoma Tribune reports.

“I feel very humbled and fortunate,” Carroll said. “It’s a day of gratitude for me.”

Carroll, 62, said he feels like the Seahawks are “right in the middle” of a run.

“The most important thing that happens is we rediscover every year — not just this year because it’s a Super Bowl year — every year we rediscover the work ethic that makes us who we are,” Carroll said. “That starts with the commitment our players have made to make this the greatest offseason of their life.

“We treat people in a manner, I think, that we can ask of them to give us everything they possibly have. It’s a fantastic opportunity to go for this. Yeah, one time’s cool and we’re excited and all that, but to come back and figure out a way to show you can do it again, it’s another tremendous challenge we’re faced with now. Russell (Wilson) and the fellas are ready to go. They can’t wait to get back.”

State of the Franchise: Seahawks Before Free Agency

March 8th, 2014

Brandon Sweeney

Posted in 2014 Free Agency, Opinions

The honor and pressure it is to hold the name of “Defending Super Bowl Champions.” Statistically, teams that go to the Super Bowl do not do so hot the following season, but the Seattle Seahawks are looking to prove those odds wrong. Things are going pretty great in Seattle right now. After winning the Super Bowl, the Seahawks are now owning NFL jersey sales — with four in the top ten.

On Tuesday, Free Agency will kick off and teams are always interested in the players who just hoisted the Lombardi for leadership and talent. The Seahawks have several men looking for a pay day after their huge win on February 2. Starting with guys like Michael Bennett, Golden Tate, Doug Baldwin, Brandon Browner, Pual McQuistan, and Walter Thurmond.

Secondly, guys like Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas are looking for contract extensions from the organization. Both players deserve a contract after their efforts in the title run of course, but will cost the Seahawks a pretty penny. So, it is simply evident, the Seahawks will have trouble keeping the team they just had in February together.

That is why, the Seahawks have already started re-signing some youth and depth onto the roster. The Seahawks re-signed safety Jeron Johnson and and offensive lineman Lemuel Jeanpierre both on Friday. The 26-year-old Jeanpierre started three games last season. Johnson played in just seven games last season before being placed on injured reserve due to a nagging hamstring injury. Johnson holds second-string as he plays behind Kam Chancellor, so his reps are limited.

The Seahawks will do their best not to be “gutted” much like the Baltimore Raven were last year when losing most of their starters. “Obviously, I would like to be in Seattle, but the hard part is over,” Tate says. “I did my job. I handled my business. I stayed healthy. I was reliable all year. Each year I’ve shown to be better than the last.”

Will the Seahawks be able to to retain any of their players? Perhaps but it must come at a very fixed salary.

Who will the Seahawks target during the time of Free Agency? Well, Sidney Rice will not be with the organization anymore taking away the team’s biggest wide receiver. The Seahawks may look in the direction of a big-bodied receiver. Then, I would expect head coach Pete Carroll to look for depth to continue his great program that he has implemented in Seattle.

Seahawks QB Wilson Turned Down “Dancing With The Stars”

Russell Wilson is well-known for his moves in the pocket, but he apparently has turned down the opportunity to showcase his skills on the dance floor, ESPN reports.

Wilson revealed in a recent interview with Access Hollywood that he has declined multiple opportunities to compete on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I have been invited, twice actually,” Wilson told Access Hollywood. “After my rookie year, I got invited to do ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and then after this year, I got invited to do ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

Wilson acknowledged that although he is a fan of the show and hopes to participate at some point, he currently wants to focus on his career with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

“I need to focus on my football career right now,” the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback said. “I’m trying to do as much as I can in terms of winning football games for the Seattle Seahawks and our franchise. But I will do it at some point, for sure.”
