Smh, Seattle has too many players named Coby/Colby/Kobe. We ask Seahawks fans for their thoughts while they meltdown emotionally watching their former QB come back to Luman Field leading the Denver Broncos. Clay's TV antennae gets the game 30 seconds faster until we realized we needed to switch from ABC to ESPN. Enjoy this unedited football talking dump with lots of 12s yelling all throughout the match as Seattle was able to hold off Russell Wilson in Week 1, 16-17. Also, Jamal Adams is a flailer (and injured), the last time Clay got kicked in the balls and GENO SMITH NOT WRITING BACK THOSE THAT WROTE HIM OFF.
