Old man Carroll’s Seahawks blow

By Matt Hopkinson

Usually in football, when hormones are brought up, it’s used in terms of performance enhancing drugs.

On Sunday, however, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll blamed his hormones for his questionable decision making.

Hormones are not really the problem here, however.

The real problem is that it’s the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks are an abysmal team, somehow managing to have won two games this season, with an overall record of 2-5.

They are second to last in overall offense and rushing itself, as well as being in the bottom 10 of passing.

On the passing note, they are throwing out a one-two punch of the guy who looks like Hugh Jackman in X-Men, Charlie Whitehurst, and a guy who has 235 more career throwing yards in six seasons than Dan Marino had in his second season alone in the NFL: Tarvaris Jackson.

Pete, you somehow managed get a playoff berth with an awful team in an awful division last season, and you are one of 32 people in the world to have the job you do.

That should all indicate you are extremely lucky in the first place, but you really shouldn’t push it. Hormones are not the reason you lost the game: bad football is.
