Does Bobby Wagner get his own thread?

The fact that the Seahawks didn't space this out and give Wagner his proper farewell in the media is horseshit. Not proper at all.

The only way I can rationalize this is Bobby responded to the RW trade by saying he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild and asked for his release and they honored it. Otherwise it's kind of unfathomable timing.

If I had to bet I'd bet he gets in despite taking the contrarian view

I'm not 100 percent sold on Two Ring Manning the Younger either but his two rings came with memorable plays.

Once again Russ' getting the second ring brings the last minute drive and Kearse catch into legend status and its no question

Russ is better than Dilfer and healthier than McMahon - the three greatest defenses to win the Super Bowl. The second one would have been more Russ than the D that folded to Brady

Russ also has a lot of years left if healthy

I'm taking baby steps towards more NFL hawt talk since I'm quitting on the college game.

Warren Moon was an Eskimo. People forget that.

More rings than Joe Montana and in two Hall of Fames
