And were DENIED! Suck it, Hogs.

Good on the 49'ers front office and the San Francisco police for doing this.

As someone who regularly goes to Seahawks road games, this is an issue dear to my heart. Football is a game, and some people take it entirely too seriously, and combined with swilling beer at games, can be real jerks. Actually, "jerks" is an incredibly mild term for how I feel about people who jeer, curse, scream, and throw things at opposing fans.

I live on the east coast, and I would like to enjoy Seahawks road games with my wife and daughter. I should be able to do so (while proudly wearing my Seattle colors) without having to worry about being attacked or accosted. Going to a game should be a family-friendly event, and the NFL would do well to remember that a lot of revenue goes out the window when you let a few bad apples ruin the experience for a lot of others.

I suppose this means we'll see Portis playing soon? Joking aside, I find it funny that Pete says that Portis isn't ready to push for playing time (with Tarvarious injured). Whitehurst looks absolutely hopeless out there.

Hope it was worth it, dope.

And be nice.

Just GNN, baby.

Have some delicious Niner tears.

Concerning the state of the team and the recent releases of popular players.

Fifth rounder for his services. More shrewd moves by the Pats.

Ah, schadenfreude.

Also, I don't know why it amazes me (considering the egos of these guys), but you have all that money. Get a limo. With sexy girls and a hot tub. Why risk your life, others' lives, etc? I would say "your career" but let's face it, this is a Steeler, I'm sure the crime will be swept under the rug and forgotten.

Maybe when Hasselbeck is finally gone, Dilfer will find someone else to talk about.

Apparently Hasselbeck thinks he should be making more than $7 million a year. Hah. Good riddance.

For all of you who are hyperventilating because we didn't get Jimmy Smith or a certain running back (that we don't need), or a hobbling, injured Da'Qwan Bowers, here's some good news.

And people: remember last year's draft. We did excellent. Trust in Pete and Schneider...I have a feeling they know what they're doing.

Apparently BMW is on the verge of signing a three year extension. Great news is so rare around here, and VERY welcome to see.

Also on PFT. I didn't link it above because last time I did, some people whined about PFT not being a credible news source.

Lovely

I have no love for the Vikings, but after watching the only NBA team I've ever cared about stolen away by that cattlefondler Clay Bennett, I can definitely sympathize with their fans.

Funny stuff. I'd love to hang around with this dude.

Linebacker Anthony Heygood, who just resigned with the team yesterday, tore his Achilles tendon during stretching exercises this morning. He will most likely be waived/injured tomorrow, leaving yet another open roster spot.

Mebane appeared to be a star in the making when he racked up six sacks and forced two fumbles at nose tackle in 2008, but he had just 1.5 sacks last season as a "three technique." Carroll still sees it as Mebane's best position, as it frees up Mebane to do more pass rushing than run stuffing.

The team updated it's roster for the first time, including the new players. Interestingly, not only have Spencer and Unger been flip-flopped back to their original positions, but Ray Willis is now labeled as a guard.

Funny that Curry isn't getting into this role...

bahahaha

"The 6-foot-4, 230 pounder looked his best during his final day of camp, doing a nice job of working the middle of the field and using his body to make tough catches in traffic."

The Seahawks pursuit of restricted free agent Brandon Marshall appears to be heating up. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll tells Mike Klis of The Denver Post that preliminary contract negotiations between the Hawks and Marshall's agent Kennard McGuire are underway.
