One no named, special teamer CB who just wanted some of the spotlight doesn't speak on behalf of the team.

Both Sherman and Thomas talked about how good Gronk is and how it's going to be hard to slow him down. Head coach Pete Carroll said they were still watching film to see what combinations they could use to slow him down because he's the best TE in the game. Was listening to a Fox beat reporter on the radio who covers Seattle and he said the Seahawks were experimenting with bracketing Gronk with Irvin and Thomas but they didn't like that it left Maxwell and Simon in 1 on 1 coverage on the weak side against most likely Lafell and Vereen.

If there's one single player Seattle should care about, it's Gronk. Just like if there's one single player NE should care about, it's Lynch.

Wagner said something about him not being a problem or something too. Sea seems to have that attitude where they just think/ know their better.

What does everybody think about Browner's comments about intentionally injuring Seahawk players, specifically Sherman and Thomas.

"But at the end of the day, this is about the Super Bowl," Browner said. "I'm gonna tell my teammates, 'Go hit that elbow. Go hit that shoulder. Most definitely. Try to break it if you can.' You're gonna be my best friend after the game, but I know you want the Super Bowl just as bad as I do."

IMO i don't think he's being serious about trying to break an arm, just trying to get across how important the game is, but still man you've gotta choose your words alot better than that.

Hopefully if Wagner feels that way then he'll be covering him. Best news for our RB's would be Wagner focused on Gronk and not the run game. Dude is a beast at stopping the run.

Sherman and Thomas laughed it off, said that's just Brandon being Brandon and that he's a brother to them.

Though it isn't said, you know every Seahawks defenders knows about tackling Gronk at the knees because that's what's ended his season the last couple times. Hopefully he braces up both knees and not just the left.

Gronk can be unstoppable.

I don't wish injury on anyone, but everyone knows how hard it is to take down a big man like that and knees down is the way to get him off balance.

"I think Richard Sherman is a very smart marketing whiz," Kraft responded Tuesday at Super Bowl XLIX media day.

"If you go into the facts of what he said, the NFL always used to pay for a big party for the AFC Championship Game. We've been privileged to own the team for 21 years, and this was our 10th championship game. When the league stopped giving the parties, we started doing it. This is our third one."

Kraft explained the party at his home was for the Patriots' lead sponsors, which ultimately helps the NFL and the club grow revenues.

"I think Mr. Sherman understood that he's the biggest beneficiary, because they get over 50 percent of the revenues. So he didn't go to Harvard, but Stanford must be pretty good because he figured it out," Kraft said.

Mr. Kraft you sly dog ;)

Lynch - ''I'm here so I won't get fined''

During his appearance at Super Bowl media day Marshawn Lynch was at his best, first informing the crowd that he'll be answering every question with the same answer and proceeds to do so by replying ''I'm here so I won't get fined'' to every single question.

I love how ticked off one reporter was and threatened that if Deion Sanders was here asking questions that he would do the same and Lynch welcomed Sanders and answered the exact same thing he was saying for the past 5 minutes. Obviously, Sanders was having a blast and had good sense of humour that he laughed about it. The reporters on the other hand, need to take a clue and go to another player.

Christian Okoye's on TSN1040, aka The Nigerian Nightmare, one of the great running backs back in the day and a freakin' monster at 6 ft 1 260lbs. (and a nightmare for the division mate Hawks)

Didn't play football until he was 23, 3 years later he was in the NFL, 2 years after that he was in the Pro Bowl.

Wtf.

Thought the media day attire both the Pats and Hawks wore today, provided by Nike, were nice and thought I'd check how much those white jackets all the players were wearing were.

$160 for essentially a Nike windbreaker with a couple logos. What a rip off. I know team apparel is usually over priced, but at least you're usually getting a good quality pull over that'll keep you warm and whatnot.
