They don't specify the time the show will be aired, but I'm sure it'll be found in your TV directory.

I hope so, I live 20 minutes from VMAC and I couldn't get near the place.

The NFL Channel advertised that they were going to be at all 32 teams TC's but they are mostly only showing Cowboy and Browns practices. OK, they finally showed some Giant, Eagles, and Charger practices but the only thing they show in Seattle is canned interviews, I want to see some action! I miss the days in Cheney! Oh well, I still have my memories...

Anthony McCoy went down in practice... Pete said it didn't look good. :-(

I'll take "Things that can derail a season fast" for $500, Alex...

Hope he gets good news.

It's too bad for Anthony, but we did OK without him last year.
There will be other TE's that get cut during TC/pre-season that might fill the void if we need one.

Not other tight ends from Fresno. Poor guy... The other one is torn... He's done.

So who watched this?

I sat through most of it, and while I certainly enjoyed it, it came off (to me) as kinda awkward and stilted, with much too much over-the-top praise being heaped on everybody up to and including the waterboys.

I bet viewership after 3 minutes in was nothing but 12s, plus Future because he couldn't stand not to watch in case Sherman got some face time.

I watched it, and ate it up! I didn't think the praise was over the top at all ... it's the same thing we had to stomach when they were talking about the Steelers after XL (or any team after winning any SB) ... we won, so now it's about us.

Go ahead, feel worthy. We are worthy.

Good point, and agreed.

I guess I'm having trouble putting my finger on exactly what I found uncomfortable about it, though.

As a 'fer instance', I think at one point they were analyzing breathlessly how all the groups hustled to the next activity rather than moseyed on over, as if we had invented such a concept.

I've heard them talk (as has everyone else) about how fast our practices are, so maybe we *are* unique doing that (I've never been to any other team's camp), but I doubt it.

That sort of thing, I guess.

I don't know about the speed/hustle aspect in particular but I've heard a lot of guys (many of them ex-players) who have done training camp visits, Peter King for example, that have always said that the Seahawks camps are very different from most training camps even at the beginning of Carroll's tenure here. It was one of the things that made them question whether Carroll could be successful as a pro coach.

Good points, Kal (and Bob).

I'll chillax.
