Watch, the NFL will suspend Lynch for the Super Bowl for extensively defying league mandates on media interaction. And then the NFL will "un-suspend" Lynch to punish the Patriots for cheating.
Nothing changes, punishments handed out, everyone wins!

At least you are honest about it. I like the Seahawks quite a bit, I'd be rooting for them if the Pat weren't in it. |

Got it on the first try. (I really thought that was pretty common abbreviation, maybe not though? )

I also get the other criticisms of the team and players even if I disagree with most of it, but that's sports fandom - I'm not going to change the mind of folks like JiMGa, Bucc, Bug, TroyF, Sun Tzu and the rest, and that's just how it goes. Just like an Oregon fan shouldn't be surprised that I'll never root for the Ducks and that I enjoyed every minute of them getting beat by Auburn in '11 and Ohio State this year. |

I got it right away. I, too, thought it was fairly common knowledge.

I think the conversation here is funny about Seattle being hated in this thread, when the top 2-3 threads here are about a true national CRISIS coming out of New England. If it were the Doncs, it would be the Peyton-bashers. If it were Dallas, oh, my good lawd the gnashing of teeth. Its nothing specific to Seattle - its whoever happens to make it this far.

Baldwin also cracked me up yelling at Deion Sanders for calling him a mediocre receiver, when, well, that's exactly what you are. The best of a mediocre group of receivers on a great team. But either way, I'd take that emotion and personality over the corporate robots the NFL wants. And I blame Lynch less and less for not wanting to talk every time First Take and Around The Horn and whoever spend segments making fun of Baldwin or Sherman when they say something like that.

Looking at the official rules, I think Kacsmar gets it way wrong:

Yeah, I think the wedge rule is in place for the longer normal kickoff returns. Obviously, when an onside kick is being done, players often crowd together on the side the kicker is going to.

On his Twitter feed, he changes the conversation to max players on each side of the kicker for a kick off, but even then he's wrong:

Not your fault. We naturally assume that NFL writers, especially for a joint like Football Outsiders would have consulted the official rules before posting a violation of rules...

Yeah seeing the FO handle definitely legitimized it to me vs some random person.
