Various Seahawks Tidbits

Nothing major is happening right now with the Super Bowl still 2 weeks away, but here are a few stories from around the web to whet your appetite for offseason activity.

• The Seahawks are one of four teams being considered for a game in Great Britain next year. If they are in fact selected, the Bucs will host the game an ocean away from their Tampa home. The Seahawks may also play internationally against Buffalo. The Bills are likely to get approval on a game in Toronto, in order to expand their Canadian fanbase. The Seahawks might not be a terrible choice, as they have a few followers in western Canada.

• Walter Jones and Patrick Kerney will miss the Pro Bowl because of offseason surgery. Both are scheduled to go under the knife this week to treat shoulder injuries. Kerney has been replaced on the NFC roster by Eagles DE Trent Cole. For the full list of Seahawks having surgery, check Clare Farnsworth’s blog at the Seattle P-I.

• Not that it should come as a surprise, but Shaun Alexander stated pretty plainly that he won’t be restructuring his contract. Said Alexander, “You don’t really do that with your foundation people. You do that with the people you aren’t sure about.” I think his ego has finally surpassed the gap between his teeth in terms of sheer magnitude. Check the Seattle Times for the full story.

Shaun Alexander makes me want to punch kittens. And babies. But not puppies. No way, puppies are too cute. Maybe I should kill two birds with one stone and hit a baby with a kitten. What was I saying…?
