Beastmode

During the week leading up to the Super Bowl was talk about Marshawn Lynch and beast mode.  Right after the Super Bowl it again was about beast mode. The main reason the Seahawks should have run the ball on second and a yard for a touchdown. Of course, if you watched the Super Bowl you know the Seahawks lost the game by throwing the ball and it being intercepted. Change the history of the Super Bowl just like that.

Now the talk is whether Marshawn Lynch will return to the Seahawks, go to another team, or retire. He does not talk much to the media so we really do not know at this time, and neither do the Seahawks know if he will return. I hope that very soon we will know the answer because I am actually very tired hearing about on sports radio.  I do not mind a fifteen minute segment a few times a day on the radio; however, they have back to back segments that make me tired and I have to change the channel. The thing is that they do not do that with Marshawn only I found out to be a problem with other stories as well; for example, Russell Wilson being a short quarterback, or being a black quarterback. Now of course, how much they will be paying him on next contract.

I am sure talk radio goes through the same thing as sport radio. I think there should be plenty of things to talk about instead of going over the same thing time after time.  Very tiresome.  I would rather listen to radio instead. At least they do not repeat the same song every hour.

In other local sports the Seattle Mariners are signing Rickie Weeks veteran second baseman to a contract. I find it a surprise; however, the cost is not that much so they do not have much of a risk. It is for only one year as well, and gives them another right handed bat off the bench. With Robinson Cano he will not play much second base; however, they likely play him some at first base and in the outfield. They can use him at third base as well if they need to give Kyle Seager a rest. Currently they have one first basemen in Logan Morrison, and he has a history of getting hurt so Weeks adds depth.

I now look forward to spring training which starts in eight days with the pitchers and catchers reporting. Many of the players are already working out in Arizona. It will be interesting to see who makes the Mariners. They actually have most of the positions already sewn up so only a few available.

So in the next month it will be about spring training baseball and football off-season. Of course, you can’t forget basketball, hockey, and soccer.
