Bill O'Reilly was there when they called the play. He totally told them it would work.

"The Darrell Bevell Fan Club", er... I mean, "Brock and Salk tell people who are real 12s are who aren't Show" will chalk this up to Marshawn not "understanding" football like the rest of us.

Sooo.... you wouldn't have given the ball to Marshawn with three tries left from the 1?

It shouldn't take long for the Seattle sports radio nitwits to skip over the obvious truth of, "Darrell Bevell's a fucking idiot," and contort into a hot take of: "Yeah, we just can't trust Marshawn. He's a loose cannon."

If this happens during an NFL week, it's totally not a story. Man, I hate the February sports doldrums.

"I love that any Hawks fan who says that I cost the team a title and I conveniently script the 15 shittiest plays to start every game gets called 'Not a real 12'. That's just job security right there."

"...and if it doesn't work out, I'll blame Kearse and Lockette for not setting the pick-and-catch properly. Then the lapdog hosts at 710 ESPN will cover my ass like they always do."

"I was supposed to call a play that didn't put the ball in the air in front of the middle of a heavy-traffic goal line, especially given the mismatches between our receivers and their secondary. But when the time came to make the call to Russell's headset, my mind went blank."

Just sign with the Patriots, Dez... that's your only hope now. Classy Bob Kraft (TM) can make all* your problems go away.

If there's a neighborhood around it, it works out better economically. In Seattle, we have tons of bars, people park downtown, arrive early, stay late, and spend tons of money getting shitfaced.

Even Hollywood, they're trying to get a piece, baby.

You do understand that the "one-sixth your annual salary" requirement is some bullshit made up by the marketing department of Big Jeweler, correct?

Don't worry, Penn State. ESPN won't look the other way when you're victimized.

It appears team Adrian is taking all of this news like a shot to the balls.

For Kaep, adequate is something to strive for.

And Behring was a boob who got dipshit lucky on real estate speculation, not a balls-of-steel businessman who'd tell the Ginger Hammer what to do like Bob Kraft does.

Is that why the Hilton near Levi's Stadium was $550 a night when I was down there in January? Had to crash in Sunnyvale for "only" $330. Silicon Valley is insane.

"AP, it appears the Vikings are trying to distance themselves from you."

you're right, as did Oakland with the Coliseum rebuild that gave us Mt. Davis (I'm from the East Bay). But that was for "only" $150M, which they had to beg, borrow and rob just to raise the bonds for. Now they want, what, a billion, a billion-five? Counties don't have that kind of scratch.

Yes, but that would demote the Raiders to the Mountain West conference in about 20 minutes. TV networks are not paying for the rights to broadcast Boise State Broncos vs. Atlanta Falcons.
