The path that Seattle followed to its first Super Bowl title has sparked a fundamental change in the way teams value quarterbacks in the draft.
If the Mariners don't get an extraordinary outing from their starter, they haven't been winning many (or more accurately any) games this season.
Seattle is undefeated when its starting pitcher limits the opponent to one run or fewer, which is great. It's 1-7 in all other games, which is not.
I'm not sure if Seattle's quarterback is better than Kirk Cousins, but I do believe the Seahawks are much better off with him than the Falcons are with Cousins.
The Mariners scored two runs in the final 23 innings of a teeth-gnashingly frustrating three-game series against Cleveland.
The moment a writer starts outfitting someone with a black hat, they're leaving themselves open to bias and rank homerism.
Three up, three down: Mariners (somehow) split the opening series with Boston despite having two extra-base hits over the final three games.
Seattle is expected to be good. I believe they not only could, but should be better if their owners weren't so willing to sit on their wallets and hope everything goes right.
When I found out the Seahawks had acquired Sam Howell I thought of Charlie Whitehurst. Hear me out, though: It's not as bad as it sounds.
Nick Saban bemoaning the financial self-interest of today's college football players would be a lot more compelling if he was still coaching at Toledo.
The Seahawks paid a lot to Leonard Williams, which is fine. They watched Jordyn Brooks leave for relatively little money, which was surprising.
The fact that Russell Wilson wound up choosing Pittsburgh shows just how wrong he was to believe that Seattle was holding him back.
