0-17 Already? The NFL Is Going Wild, But Where's the *Real* News for the 12s?!

Alright, Seattle, can we talk for a minute? I'm sitting here, May 15, 2026, scrolling through all the "latest sports news," trying to find something, *anything*, about our Mariners, our Seahawks, or even what the Kraken are doing to get ready for next season, and what do I see? Absolute madness. The rest of the league, and honestly, the internet in general, is just losing its mind. I'm seeing headlines that make you scratch your head, and none of it, not a single bit, is about the Emerald City. Seriously, a doomed NFL team is already projected to go 0-17 in 2026? Favored to lose every single game? What are we even doing here?

Seriously, What Is Going On Out There?

Look, I bleed green and blue, I live and breathe Seattle sports, and even I can't ignore some of this national chaos, mostly because it's just so bonkers. We're talking about a team, right now, in mid-May, being chalked up for a winless season. Like, how does that even happen? Meanwhile, the NFL itself just offered a pathetic excuse after Donald Trump called them out for robbing fans blind. Are you kidding me? Pathetic excuse? That's the best they've got? It's like they're not even trying to hide it anymore. And get this, the Jets, yes, *the* Jets, don't have a single primetime game in 2026, which is the first time in 45 years. Forty-five years! While we're out here at Lumen Field, ready for our Seahawks to dominate, other teams are just... existing. It's wild to see the rest of the league in such a state, while our focus is always on what's next for our boys.

The Rest of the League Is Just... Wild

And it's not just the NFL. The sports world outside of our bubble is a whole different beast. You've got a Dodgers' All-Star pitcher and two Kentucky Derby jockeys reportedly tied to an illegal cockfighting ring. That's a real headline I saw! Then PETA is going after George Kittle for killing a living creature. Like, come on. We've also got Max Strus dropping a 4-word reaction after a Tom Brady comparison following a viral Charles Barkley remark. And Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the biggest names in the NBA, is sending cryptic messages while training with his son, with a trade reportedly viewed as a legitimate summer scenario around the league. Oh, and apparently, the University of Colorado is accused of "faking" Shedeur Sanders' graduation. It's an absolute circus out there, every single day.

Honestly, it makes you appreciate the grind and the focus of our teams even more. While everyone else is dealing with these wild headlines and drama, we're here, the 12s, just waiting for the next big moment at T-Mobile Park or for news about our Seahawks' next game. We're always looking ahead, ready to cheer on Matty Beniers, Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez, Sam Darnold, or Cristian Roldan. What's next for our teams? That's what we really care about. Let's get some *real* news for the Emerald City!
