Golden Tate willing to take hometown discount with Seahawks | ProFootballTalk
“I probably shouldn’t even say this right now but I’m going to say it anyway just because I love Seattle, honestly, I would rather take a little less to be happy and win ball games than to take way more and go to a crappy city where the fans don’t give a crap about the team. You win a game once a month of something like that. I would much rather stay in the situation that I have now for a little less than to go and try to break the bank somewhere else,” Tate said.

Peyton Manning’s Legacy — FootballPerspective.com
Super Bowl XLVIII was the nightmarish end to the dream season had by Peyton Manning and the Broncos. After the greatest scoring season in NFL history, Denver’s high-powered offense was held to just 8 meaningless points against one of the greatest defenses in NFL history.

Freelance articles are also welcome, so just send me an e-mail if you’d be interested in contributing to the site.

It was billed as the ultimate contest, but in the end there was none.

What's next for the Seattle Seahawks? | Audibles - SI.com
After the Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII, there were serious questions regarding the team’s ability to hold it all together. Defensive stalwarts Ray Lewis and Ed Reed would no longer be in the picture, and quarterback Joe Flacco was due to be given a mammoth contract — which led to the loss of receiver Anquan Boldin, his best target. The 2013 Ravens sputtered on offense, struggled to maintain their defensive presence, and finished 8-8. They missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007.

The Ollin - Clothed in Inspiration, Promoting Education
We were absolutely inspired by our home-town Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s post game interview when he talked about his father challenging him as a boy “Why not you?” and him challenging team at the beginning of the season with the statement: “Why not us? Why can’t we be the SuperBowl Champions?” The Ollin team took it to heart, and we have added it to our lives. We believe in empowering people to believe in themselves, and do great things in the world. So why not us? Why can’t we be the ones to change the world? So, the next time someone doesn’t believe in you, say to yourself: “Why not me?”
