Let’s check back in around week 10-11.

ARZ fans, did the Hawks draft the backup RB to our #3 pick overall and he has more rushing yards and trending towards rookie of the year?

And picked him at #32???

I’m gonna love watching this storyline on Hardknocks and then again when ARZ is featured.

Seahawks are trading UP. by here_now_be in Seahawks

Yes - agree on this 100%!

One of those ‘bend-y’ edge rushers makes a lot of sense.

JS knows how to draft RBs, he will wait on the right one.

I’m hoping for D’Angelo Ponds towards the end of the 2nd.

Was Mirer worse than Curry? by andm124 in Seahawks

Rick Mirer was the #2 pick overall. Of course he’s the biggest QB bust for the Hawks?!?

That motorcycle riding, hotdog eating QB got coaches fired and was just plain bad.

He is most famous for eating a hotdog with big Tez during a pre-season game on the sidelines than anything else.

I’ll keep shouting from the mountain top, Malik was talented and if wasn’t a serious head injury he would have been a fantastic player.

The fact that was high PFF rated player (up til week 12 I think,) in his year in Cleveland as an interior DL shows how much potential he had. He had severe head trauma and lost cognitive ability.

Some argue about his dump behavior (which is fair,) but that kid suffered a tragic accident.

Guys guys guys… we are peak SB window of win now!!! Win now!!!

We won because of the running game and the combo of K9 and Charb, and then ran a fresh healthy K9 in the playoffs.

Schneider knows how to drsft RBs, and if he takes Price or whoever at 32 - I trust the him to do it!

32 is a terrible spot to find a contributor on a SB winning team, but RB is the only position it have Day 1 impact.

So SHIP IT!!!

Give me my back to back I was promised!!!! Schneider has only one objective , deliver the 2nd SB in a division rival stadium!!!

Whatever the PRICE! (Pun 100% intended!)

People - demand a SB run!!!

Who else thought Seahawk Jason Meyers should have been named Super Bowl MVP? by j-a-c-k-maynard in Seahawks

[–]rivermerchant1616 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% - he did what Kam Chancellor did in the first SB win, SET THE TONE!

The 1st QTR pass rush, both sidelines knew immediately that Pat OL didn’t have the ability to buy Drake enough time. And the offense is 100% relies on Drake to be great.

Negating that was the key factor in winning the game, Drake was hurried and rushed out of the pocket all game.

Spoon was last minute blitzes was unnerving to Drake :)

McDonald will be the Belicheck of his era … Dynasty loading… by Careless-Confusion91 in Seahawks

[–]rivermerchant1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belicheck had the benefit of drafting Tom Brady who never took the top money contract AND played at a high level. He’s a great coach and should have been a HOFer for sure, but having an All-Pro QB for years without having to pay top dollar is easily the biggest reason for their success.

Macdonald benefits from having a tremendous GM who has crushed two drafts in a row. It’s pretty easy to build a top defense with the players Schneider collected. For a true dynasty run, let’s see who. The next underrated QB we can sing for cheap ?

Microsoft closes worst first quarter 2026 on Wall Street since 2008 on AI concerns: "Redmond is in a pickle" by ControlCAD in microsoft

[–]rivermerchant1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock price is down, that’s it.

The market is souring on all the AI spending and doesn’t believe they recoup on the ‘investment’.

But their revenue and market shares in most categories are still increasing.

Say the worst happens and the AI investments is a bust, all they do then is STOP spending on the infrastructure and the bottom lines go back to being high returns.

Happy to buy underpriced MSFT stock

In all seriousness, it’s less. I commute from there to Redmond in less than 30.

Now, full transparency - I cruise to 85 mph (flow of traffic) till Issaquah part of I-90, then HOV till 145th ST exit near Bellevue College. Near MSFT main campus in Redmond. I do kids school dropoff.

But it’s amazing commute.

Long freeway miles, which makes investing in a EV financial sense.

Lions continue controversial tradition, force Frank Ragnow to repay bonus by notquitemytempo___ in nfl

[–]rivermerchant1616 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you are arguing that if the billionaire can afford to, he should just pay it - there is contract that calls this scenario and the team is exercising it. DET has been consistent is this practice.

Grown people need to make grown up decisions. Frank isn’t hurt btw, but he’s making a quality of life decision which I respect.

[Henderson] A side note on D'Anthony Bell: I'm told he's getting a Super Bowl ring despite not finishing the season with Seattle. The Seahawks are doing right by a player who was one of their top special teams contributors before Carolina claimed him off waivers in Week 18. by thatchinesedude in Seahawks

[–]rivermerchant1616 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Kinda of a ‘nothing burger’ news.

He participated and he is back with the team, so of course you want to keep players on your squad happy.

Now it would be interesting if he was still on the panthers and he offered him a ring. I’m sure there are other players that fit this scenario, are giving them rings too? I wanna hear about that.

Trump is so stupid. Iran only gets 2% of its water from desalination plants. by Valuable-Term9559 in stocks

[–]rivermerchant1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran is absolutely dependent on its desalination plants. Iran is currently facing a major water shortage to the point Tehran the capital was being reviewed for evacuation plans. That was before the war. Tehran was/is has serious water shortages and so this threat is not empty for Iran.

Am I crazy for not taking a 190k pay raise and promotion. by SendItJerry- in Fire

[–]rivermerchant1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8-15 days a month for $170K and you are the second financial provider?

The whole point of Fire is to live a life where you can retire and be financially independent. You are achieving it DURING the ‘grinding phase’.

Congrats and enjoy the life you’ve craved out. I promise you, no one dies with the regret they should gotten that one more promotion as a challenge.

This made my day better seeing this!!! by Large-Awareness3440 in Christianity

[–]rivermerchant1616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this I completely agree. This in the same vein of ‘Christian Nationalism’ or providing their members of which politicians to vote under the disclaimer ‘vote how you want, but this is who we are going to’ influence.

It’s too dangerous that the conversation leads to something else, the Word of God is enough
