I used to make up sideline reports if a coach wouldn't give me anything at halftime

I would make up the report sometimes because A, the coach wouldn't come out at halftime or it was too late and I was like, I didn't wanna screw up the report.

The Seahawks are easily the best team in the NFC for the 2016 season

Well, they're easily the best team in the NFC. Not a problem.

The Seahawks offense will not suffer any drop-off without Marshawn Lynch

Setting an alarm clock one hour early creates a positive start to the day

When the alarm goes off in the morning... my first thought of the day is positive because I go, yes, I get to sleep another hour. Positive thought. ... I'm positive in the morning.
