So very much ongoing serious business at Field Gulls, what with the Seattle Seahawks’ all-time 53-man roster selection in progress.
Today’s whimsical poll interlude gives the chance for more votes to be tallied in the races at linebacker and defensive back, posted yesterday.
Also, for you to consider how hard each of these upcoming athletic feats is.
Some — many! — of you have played actual football, with pads and hashmarks and bruises and helmets and refs and broken ribs and everything. But many more have not. The question below is designed more with the second category of readers in mind, the know-it-all observers who would pee their pants, then spend a week in the hospital, if they had to find a way to gain a yard against an NFL front. (No, I’m not confessing, you’re confessing.)
Seven Herculean tasks, seven Promethean exploits await your feedback. Which one sounds more doable? Conversely, which one sounds like the greatest challenge?
