Seahawks QB Russell Wilson loves Michael Jackson, once dressed like him for Halloween

Found October 23, 2012 on Outside the Boxscore: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Russell Wilson
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
As we near the start of Halloween, Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson was recently interviewed by the folks over at ESPN the Magazine about his favorite costume. Russell went with the "King of Pop": What was your best Halloween costume? I was Michael Jackson a few years ago, in his outfit from "Thriller." Normally, that would be a pedestrian answer since Thriller Michael Jackson is a popular costume for All Hallow's Eve. However, it appears that Mr. Wilson is a huge Michael Jackson fan since earlier in the interview, he provided this response to a question: If you could go to dinner with one person, dead or alive, who would it be? Michael Jackson. I’d go to Neverland Clearly, someone needs to get Russell Wilson to Neverland, ASAP....

*My two cents* The Seahawks need to trade for Dwayne Bowe

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  October 22, 2012
Pull The Trigger! Headline: The solution is a QB change; the compromise is the Chiefs WR making Seattle’s offense better. The Seattle Seahawks need to do something for their defense, a defense that is the best in the NFL and could win a Super Bowl if given the opportunity. Since no one in management or on the coaching staff is willing to change their minds (a stubborn bunch),...

Always a Bright Spot On days when the Seattle Seahawks‘ defense can’t even hold on (granted they are on the field for the majority of the game) and the offense is… well, being the Seahawks offense, the Special Teams unit helps out both units.

Jim Harbaugh Not Happy with the Play of Seahawks Cornerbacks

Via FootBasket  |  October 21, 2012
Brian Bahr/Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks probably have the biggest cornerbacks tandem in the league. They are led by Richard Sherman, who is 6-3 and 195 pounds. On the other side of the field is Brandon Browner, who is listed at 6-4 and 221 pounds. That’s crazy to see and that’s what led to some of the team’s big success over some of the best passing offenses in the...

Seahawks being Physical

Via Seattle Sports Nut  |  October 23, 2012
Those of us that have been watching the Seahawks play the last year have figured out that our defense is physical and stout.  Pete Carroll has brought in big playmakers that fly to the ball.  The smallest guy on the defense is one of the biggest playmakers, and is by no means small. Brandon Browner(6’4″ 221 lbs) and Richard Sherman(6’3″ 195 lbs) are the two corners on...

Seahawks: Missed it by ‘THAT’ much!

Seahawks, out of town, just like me.   The Seahawks played the 49ers at Candlestick Park in San Francisco last Thursday (October 18th) in a game that could have vaulted Seattle into first place in the NFC West. I was in Los Angeles visiting a friend. I told him I write a blog for the Seahawks and have to watch the game. Due to his busy work/travel schedule, my friend doesn’t often...

A Tale of Two Halves

Via Seahawk Addicts  |  October 23, 2012
Last Thursday’s road game against the 49ers was supremely frustrating to watch.  The Seahawks looked awful, and that’s led to a lot of fans voicing opinions of the “fire coach X and/or bench player Y” variety.  That’s understandable, but I think it’s premature to be calling for changes that drastic.  Right now, the Seahawks are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road, with...
