Put them in Canton! With the recent election of Cortez Kennedy (greatest ‘Hawks name ever) to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the long neglected Seattle franchise earned some long awaited recognition for the quality of players who have served with the Seahawks franchise. Kennedy, as part of the class of 2012, follows previous Seahawks inductees RB Franco Harris (1990), WR Steve...

Defense wins Championships. That has been instilled in sports fans’ heads since the beginning of time. If the other team doesn’t score, they cannot win, plain and simple. Super Bowl XLVI has the New York Giants defense that has been playing lights out, and the New England Patriots defense, which is very close to nonexistent. Which defense over the past 45 years has proven to...

The Seattle Seahawks announced this afternoon that running back Marshawn Lynch was added to the NFL Pro Bowl roster, the fifth player headed to Hawaii for the Seahawks this year. Lynch replaces San Francisco running back Frank Gore, who will not play in the game because of an illness. Lynch set career highs in rushing yards (1,204), carries (285) and rushing touchdowns (12) this...

Seattle Seahawks nostalgia in this weeks Moments In Time. In 2002, the 4the Seahawks traveled to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in the 2002 NFL season. Seattle avenged their previous loss in the season to Arizona over a dominant first half performance from Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck good enough to last through the rest of the game.

The Seahawks go into Glendale on New Year's Day striving to level their record at 8-8, which would provide the team (and us Twelves) a pleasant conclusion to a hope-building season. In our franchise history, Seattle is a maddeningly inconclusive/mediocre 18-17 in regular season finales. Here's the Top 10 wins that either sent us into the offseason on a rousing high note, or in some...

He's the first Seahawk since Shaun Alexander in 2005 to reach the mark.

Marshawn Lynch rushed for 42 yards and two touchdowns, as the Seattle Seahawks used a big second half to take down the Chicago Bears, 38-14. Lynch carried the ball 20 times and became Seattle's first 1,000-yard rusher since Shaun Alexander in 2005. Tarvaris Jackson completed 19-of-31 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown for the Seahawks (7-7), who have won three in a row. Caleb Hanie...

Seattle Seahawks nostalgia in this weeks Moments In Time. In 2007, the Seattle Seahawks headed to Soldier Field in Chicago to take on the Bears in the divisional round of the 2007 NFL Playoffs. The game was back and forth as Shaun Alexander rushed for 2 touchdowns and Nate Burleson caught one, but Bears kicker Robbie Gould had the ultimate say in the game.

Today word out of the NFL tells us Marshawn Lynch green socks on Monday Night Football has earned him a $5,000 slap on the hand from the NFL? It's been a record season for Lynch, he has scored at least one touchdown in nine consecutive games, matching Shaun Alexander's franchise record. Trent Cole ends Russell Okung season only gets fined $7500?

SEATTLE (WA)– When John Schneider traded a fourth round pick to Buffalo in exchange for Marshawn Lynch back in October 2010 he made a worthwhile investment. Granted the last 17 games Lynch played (13 games in 2009 and 4 in 2010) in Buffalo were less than impressive Schneider took the low risk move. Now in 2011 Lynch is 146 yards away from his first 1,000 yard season in Seattle...

Turn on the radio, news, sports talk, almost everywhere Tim Tebow is taking over. As the NFL continues to struggle to find a way to stop Tim Tebow from winning a simple way to stop him does exist. How? It's almost impossible for someone to complete only two passes and still win, but Tebow continues to prove doubters wrong and finds a way to win. While it may not be...

UFR will go up tomorrow. FYI. It's raining wallpaper. As per usual. This one is from jonvalk: This week in bowl parasitism. Bowl games are parasites on college football designed to bleed as much money from the system as they can get away with. Thanks to the interest levels provided by the teams—not the stadiums or locations—some of them do actually pump money into the system...

Suh won’t be winning the Walter Peyton Man of the Year Award?? Football on Thanksgiving meant no RedZone Channel… which meant it was a rare occasion I had to watch commercials… Does anyone else hear T-Mobile’s...

Seattle Seahawks nostalgia in this weeks Moments In Time. In 2005, the Seahawks faced off with the Philadelphia Eagles in an unforgettable Monday Night performance...by the Seahawks. The Seahawks dominated as Shaun Alexander scored twice and the Seattle defense, led by Marcus Tubbs, Michael Boulware, Lofa Tatupu and Andre Dyson, made life miserable for the Eagles.

The Seahawks must beat Philadelphia Thursday night to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, so I thought this would be a good time to look back at Seattle's previous five victories over the Eagles. Thankfully, all five were pretty awesome/memorable... Enjoy!5. Seahawks 26, Eagles 14 (12/3/95) The Hawks brought down the playoff-bound Eagles behind four Todd Peterson field goals and...

Andrew Luck- Luck faced a tough Notre Dame defense led by star linebacker Manti Te’o. But in no way did that stop Luck from completing 20 out of his 30 passes for 233 yards and 4 touchdowns.  Those touchdowns broke John Elway’s career passing touchdown record of 77, along with Luck’s old single-season record of 32 TD’s set last year. On top of that he also became the All...

Every once in a while, I'll reach back into the archives of my personal blog (which existed from 2002-2009 and more or less got killed by facebook, twitter and this blog) for classic posts about our Seahawks. This week is a great time to look back at the two victories among the top 10 in franchise history that came at the expense of the Washington Redskins: Our 20-10 2005 Divisional...

Peyton Hillis has re-injured his hamstring in practice and is likely out of the game this weekend against Houston. Hillis has been involved in contract trouble, missed a game earlier this season with strep throat, failed to show up for a Halloween party for kids, and the well documented hamstring injury.  Hillis has compiled just 211 rushing yards and two touchdowns...

It's pretty irrational for me to still be personally angry at Charlie Whitehurst over his performance on Sunday- But then again, it's pretty irrational to be so emotionally invested in what a fairly random collection of handsomely paid athletes do on a weekly basis thousands of miles away... So off we go again.I can't shake a deep feeling of disdain and disgust towards Charlie Whitehurst...

It's Seahawks vs. Cleveland Browns week. Whether the GM or just the Head Coach, you know Mike Holmgren had a say in just about everything in his time with the Seattle Seahawks. A lot of deals involving great players. Matt Hasselbeck, Steve Hutchinson, Joey Galloway, Rocky Bernard, Lofa Tatupu, Shaun Alexander, and more...

I was fortunate enough to see the GlenOak Golden Eagles twice in the past few weeks. This year was GlenOak's turn to travel to my Youngstown area for their games against both Austintown Fitch and this past Friday at Boardman. I have never wavered in my infatuation with Eagle star running back Bri'onte Dunn, but I got a good look at a few other big time prospects in each of these...

Alabama tailback Trent Richardson isn't ready to start talking Heisman Trophy yet, however, he certainly has put himself in that conversation. Richardson has matched Shaun Alexander's school record with six straight 100-yard rushing efforts. He set career-highs with 183 yards and four touchdowns against Mississippi and turned in a stutter-stepping, highlight reel 76-yard...

Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate has a fun article just in time for Halloween. He breaks down the scariest jersey numbers to wear on Halloween for Seattle Seahawks, their fans or the opponents of the Seahawks. Mack Strong, Bill Leavy, Brian Bosworth, Shaun Alexander, Super Bowl XL, Ken Behring, Cortez Kennedy all make this list...

Teams over the years in the Northwest corner, on either side of the line have dished out their share of overpaid contracts. The Vancouver Grizzlies, Seattle Supersonics, Seattle Seahawks, Portland Trailblazers, Vancouver Canucks are all guilty. Bryant Reeves, Mark Messier, Carlos Silva, Shaun Alexander, Theo Ratliff, Jim McIlvaine have all gotten paid haven't they?

Whenever I go by my sister’s house, it’s usually for food or…food!  I’m only kidding, I love my sister and her kids and I always love hanging out there (but I also go for the food).  Anyways,  I’m there on a Sunday afternoon and I’m doing none other than sitting on the couch and watching football.  Attached like glue to my thighs is my laptop and the only windows...
