Gallant Says

1:03 - It's obvious that Russell Wilson's injury was the worst thing that could happen for the Seahawks in 2021. But Paul's more concerned about the thoughts Russell Wilson might have while he sits back and watches this roster try to stay afloat.

5:54 - Jon Gruden resigned as the Las Vegas Raiders head coach after hot racist, homophobic, and misogynistic messages emails were made public. It's on brand. In addition to being a mediocre head coach, he's always been two faced. So why has it taken so long for the knives to come out?

19:44 - It's 2021. Open relationships are becoming more and more of a thing. So Paul makes his case to have his own open relationship with multiple sports teams.

24:34 - The Astros were accused of cheating. Again. By a team that lost to them. Again.

They did cheat. But aren't cheating allegations a convenient way to absolve yourself of responsibility for a loss?

1:02 - Pete Carroll's defense was able to keep Trey Lance and the 49ers in check on Sunday. And statistically, Bill Belichick's defense slowed down Tom Brady and the Bucs. But the two coaches aren't giving their teams the edge that they used to.

11:44 - An incredible Mariners season came to an end this weekend. Now? The real question begins. Are they satisfied? Content to sit on their hands this offseason? Or are they going to strike while the iron is hot so they can kick down the playoff door for the first time in two decades?

Paul is rooting for a Red Sox collapse this weekend so the Mariners can complete an improbable season with their first playoff appearance in 20 years. But he's also from Boston. Is he allowed to want this?

Plus, Tom Brady's return to Foxboro has Paul feeling like he's a kid in the midst of a divorce. Again. Classic.

Think about this. Kirk Cousins and Alexander Mattison (who?) just stuffed the Seahawks into a locker.

There's a lot of reasons for panic right now. Seattle is currently 1-2, looking up at San Francisco (2-1), Arizona (3-0), and Los Angeles (3-0) in the NFC West. Worse? They play the 49ers and Rams over the next two weeks. And the cherry on top of all of it? Russell Wilson can't erase all the longstanding problems anymore.

Paul got into another internet war with his least favorite people in the world - Tennessee Titans fans - after the Titans gave Houston the middle finger. Again.

1:12 - There's always going to be hurt feelings when a team skips town. But doesn't a team's history belong to the city they played in? Paul took a look back at the history of this across football and basketball.

24:59 - The Texans may have an obsession with giraffes, but they've surprised Paul to this point.

28:06 - The Seahawks have a problem. They can't help themselves. They ALWAYS look for the big play. Didn't they hire Shane Waldron to stop doing that?

32:12 - And Paul's nervous for the Seahawks this weekend. The Minnesota Vikings might be 0-2...but they've played pretty well thus far.

There were lots of reasons to be disappointed in the Seahawks 33-30 OT loss to the Titans Sunday. But the biggest problem? It sure feels like a lot of the team's same problems still exist.

2:35 - We know Seattle's offense can make big plays. But weren't they trying to get away from going for them on just about every down?

6:59 - The Hawks' defense keeps getting beat by the same thing

10:52 - I know that Pete Carroll likes to kick. But can we get a little more aggression in important spots?

12:45 - And discipline wise, the Seahawks sure enjoyed shooting themselves in the foot

There's plenty of time left for these things to change by the end of the season. But I thought I was watching Seattle's good, bad, and the ugly from 2020 on Sunday.

- 1:25: We've dealt with a lot of NFC East football in primetime over the last couple of years. I used to think it was torture. Now? I think I enjoy it...

- 9:00: The #Mariners probably cost themselves the playoffs this week

- 13:49: Based on what I saw out of the #Titans against the #Cardinals, the #Seahawks should cruise Sunday

- 20:47: And Paul explains why he hates Tennessee...

It's great to be back to blabbing after a couple of weeks off. Thanks for sticking with me!

2:26 - Aaron Rodgers deserved to be humbled after the way he carried himself this offseason. And while Russell Wilson was annoying himself in the weeks leading up to 2021, he once again delivered on the field.

7:31 - The Seahawks pass rush had Carson Wentz - who actually played well - running for his life on Sunday. That's noteworthy. Because isn't the Colts offensive line good?

12:19 - Seattle's offense impressed in the first half. But I already know what Shane Waldron's biggest challenge is going to be as a first time offensive coordinator.

16:36 - The Texans will not go 0-17. Huzzah! But what's it going to take for you to enjoy watching them again? You answer that question for me...because I sure don't have it.

18:32 - Plus thoughts on things around the NFL, including...

- Matt Stafford's big debut

- Why the Browns intrigue me more than any team not named the Chiefs in the AFC

- Josh Allen doubters are chirping again, and rightfully so

- The Patriots need to let Mac Jones do more

- The 49ers actually were impressive...for a little bit

- And why I'm more disgusted by the Titans than wowed by the Cardinals

'Sup y'all. Did you miss me?
