Seattle's Golden Tate gets attention for big block

Posted September 20, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Golden Tate
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
Kansas-city-chiefs-seattle
Golden Tate has spent most of this week hearing his name being brought up in debates about whether his block on Dallas' Sean Lee was legal or not. It apparently was not legal as the Seattle wide receiver was hit with a hefty fine by the NFL. Tate said Thursday that he intends to appeal the fine, but that within the appeal, he wasn't going to receive clarification on what he should do differently in the future. What the Seahawks hope Tate continues to do is catch passes. After sitting out the season opener against Arizona with a knee injury, Tate had three receptions for 38 yards - all of them for first downs - and the one cracking block on Lee to highlight his 2012 debut.

Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll Sides With Greg Schiano On Kneel-Down Controversy

One of the biggest story lines that came out of Week 2 in the NFL was the controversy that came out of the ending to Sunday's Giants-Buccaneers game. With time running out, the Giants lined up in a "victory formation" so Eli Manning could take a knee to end the game but while many teams on the losing side of that scenario would simply let time run out, first-year Tampa...
