Not just Branch. Funny story I called in to ask a question: "Deion regarding your statement made on Sunday do you feel that you are not embraced or wanted by the seahawk organization or fan base." During the portion where they answer callers questions. I saw burleson pointing out something to Deion, give him a look like, what do you think? And Deion gave the cutting motion to his throat and shook his head no, and they both started laughing. Further into the the segment Burleson pointed at it again and shook his head yes and both started laughing again.... They did not take my call. But I'm pretty sure they were looking at the question.

Now the players have demanded a meeting with the owner. I guess that's better than players filing grievances with the Players Union against the head coach. Or maybe not.

But picking him at #4 was too much of a reach (according to the experts). I wish some of these experts would get fired for being morons... just like GMs. And if you bring in a new guy, fire him after a year if he proves to be a moron evaluator of talent like the guy before.

And we don't want Branch around. He'll leave in the off season and everyone will be happy. For now, you've gotta play the PC game. That's all it is. Branch doesn’t want to be here.

Deion Branch? Hasselbeck, yeah. Mebane or Burleson or Tapp, yeah. But Branch? This guy's done nothing to warrant that. That comment he made to the TV camera can be translated "I want out to play somewhere else. And I want to keep the same contract". What I want is for this guy to live up to the contract. He wants to play? Don't get injured every year. Want to retire here? Start playing better in practice to warrant getting on the field, then make some plays. Otherwise, just sit down and shut up Deion. Why the hell does this bozo have a weekly radio segment on KJR? Deion Branch? Hasselbeck, yeah. Mebane or Burleson or Tapp, yeah. But Branch?

When I read; "I want to be here. I want to retire here. I want to finish the end of my career here.” or "I want to play. I want to win,”, I can't help think there is a "but" at the end of it. I think of all the players before him that wanted the hell out of whatever situation they were in, that have said the same thing. I really like Branch, too. That play in Kansas City, where, after the interception, he stripped the defender as they were falling out of bounds. Pure hustle. But 3 years removed and multiple injuries later on a team barely keeping it's head above water is not the time to start bumping your gums. I’ve become so jaded regarding professional athletes.
