Warren Sapp arrested for solicitation. Apparently, Pete Carroll was almost caught in the same sting, but he passed.
Ba Dum Bum.
Hey, now...you can have free reign on Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch. We'll let Sherm defend himself, too. Have a field day with Darrell Bevell. But you pick on St. Pete or St. Russell and you're picking a fight. 
Get out your fight'n tools!
You say that like they aren't already on my person... ;-)
Russel is a great quarterback but I am not fond of those who carry on and cry for tv, you know the John Boener and Teboe types. Pete is an asshole simple as that but so are most of the rest of the overpaid coaches both college and pro. Just my 2 cents worth don't live up there and don't pay their salaries so don't really much matter since they lost anyway. But - did Pete or Russel throw the game?
?
Russell wasn't carrying on for TV, TV just happened to catch it. I've met the man, briefly. He's the real deal...a profoundly decent and guileless human being, but as driven as any great quarterback has to be. Not as annoyingly so as Tom Brady, and Russell isn't the closet trash-talker Brady is. So with the fans up here, Russell Wilson walks on water - even with skeptical hardasses like me.
Pete Carroll...I dunno, there's the baggage from USC, and being a winning coach - as you say - requires being somewhere toward the shitty end of the asshole spectrum. But he's still somewhere this side of Bellichick, Lombardi, Brown, Paterno, Switzer, Walsh, and even Holmgren. The jury is still out whether he'll be as successful as those guys. But he's taken the Seahawks to the top of the mountain, so I'm a fan. But I was a Raider fan from birth to 1979, so obviously I have a tolerance for assholes on the gridiron.
As for throwing the game...I'm in the minority there by a long shot. It wasn't a bad call. It was a risky call that required flawless execution by the Hawks and less than flawless defense by the Patriots to work. But the execution was flawed and the defense was transcendently good. Game over. Brady got the MVP, but he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler - and in my opinion rightly so. That rook made the read and play of a career. Should Bevell have called a different play? Probably. To Marshawn? Maybe. But regardless of what Emmitt Smith says, it was nowhere near the worst call in NFL history.
