Watching the Marshawn interview today was hard. Felt super bad for him. Fuck making someone do something they're that uncomfortable doing. Fuck the league and the media. Then some cunt from the media was interviewed and she said, "he should just take the fine and avoid the media" Like it's no big deal to just hand over 50k or whatever it is. This media shit is pissing me off. Props to Mike Rob for helping him out a little bit though.
GO HAWKS!
GO HAWKS!
I lost a lot of respect for John Clayton he's been going in hard on Lynch saying he should be fined $100k. Only.people that give a shit are people in the media. Obviously the man isn't comfortable in those situations let him be. For all we know he has social anxiety. I remember way back when a rookie Ricky Williams would only do interviews with his helmet on, everyone thought he was a weirdo turned out he just had bad anxiety (well he also was a weirdo but that's beside the point lol)
Fuck i really want that jacket marshawn was wearing. I read theyre player only jackets though 
Finley wants to stay with Packers, but he’s eyeballing Seattle
Packers tight end Jermichael Finley had plenty to say during a visit with PFT Live from Radio Row on Friday.
For starters, Finley said he’ll soon be cleared for contact, after a neck injury that required fusion surgery last year.
Finley will be a free agent on March 11. He wants to stay with the Packers. But he’s willing to leave, if need be.
“I said it once before, I want to be a Packer for life,” Finley said. “But we all know this is a business and the Packers are going to take it as a business but at the same time, I was playing at a high level when I got injured. But at the end of the day, I can go give any team what they need and take them to the promised land, I can guarantee you that.”
Finley said he’s eyeballing a team that already is on the verge of getting to the promised land.
“I mean there’s a couple of teams I would love and would be on the first flight out to play with but like I said the Packers are going to come at me with something and I’m going to go to them first and see what they’ve got and if it’s not I would love to be on the first flight out to good old Seattle,” Finley said.
Whether the Seahawks land Finley or not, the notion that the Seahawks have become a magnet for free agents is very good news for a team that could remain a contender for years to come.

Walter Jones elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame
After having his way with would-be tacklers for 12 dominating seasons as the Seahawks’ left tackle, Walter Jones was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in his first year of eligibility.
NEW YORK – The obvious has become the actual, as Walter Jones was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in his first year of eligibility.
Jones, a dominating blocker at left tackle for the Seahawks from 1997-2008, became a member of the Class of 2014 when the Hall of Fame selection committee met on the eve of the Super Bowl XLVIII matchup between the Seahawks and Denver Broncos at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. But the announcement was not made until Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall, as part of the NFL Honors show on FOX.
Also elected to the Class of 2014: Michael Strahan, Andre Reed, Derrick Brooks, Aeneas Williams, Claude Humphrey, and Ray Guy.
Jones was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and also named All-Pro six times after being a first-round draft choice 1997. He also was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000s and had his No. 71 retired by the Seahawks in 2010.
He joins wide receiver Steve Largent (1995) and defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy (2012) as the only members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who played their entire careers with the Seahawks.
Other players who spent part of their Hall of Fame careers with the Seahawks include quarterback Warren Moon (1997-98), defensive tackle John Randle (2001-03), running back Frank Harris (1984), defensive end Carl Eller (1979) and wide receiver Jerry Rice (2004). The late Mike McCormack, a Hall of Fame offensive lineman for the Cleveland Browns, served as the Seahawks’ president and general manager from 1982-88, and also served a stint as interim head coach in 1982.
Jones will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall in Canton, Ohio, on August 2, 2014
His selection was considered a slam dunk, as Jason La Canfora offered in this assessment at CBSSports.com on Saturday: “No one did it better, as a big man with the feet and grace of a ballerina. Just like Jonathan Ogden was an automatic first-ballot Hall of Famer at left tackle, so, too, is Walter Jones. He helped Shaun Alexander to some historic seasons, chunks of those yards and so many of those touchdowns coming to the left side behind Jones’s massive frame. He was named to an All-Decade team and came to define the way a position should be played. This is a total no-brainer. This is what a first-ballot Hall of Famer looks like.”
Indeed, and the selection committee couldn’t help but agree.
