"Let it be know[n], this story was a non-story."

"...and not once in history has it mattered to media or fans at what point a player’s signing bonus was paid out."

I tried last year to explain this kind of thing to a Steeler fan who was all lathered up about something or somebody and wasn't having any of it. His personal football world was collapsing and nothing was ever going to be right again. Less than a week later the problem was solved and everything was right again. Thank you Seaside Joe for this sort of reality injection.

To expand this to our larger world, I think Will Rogers had it right when he said "I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened. Worrying is like paying on a debt that may never come due."

Oh, man! That was the last thing in my life left to worry about. Is the world a perfect place now? I wonder if I read non-Seahawks news if I'll find something new to fret over.

Won't write a second article for this, but Seahawks sign RB Wayne Taulapapa, a UDFA out of Virginia and Washington. Therefore he was teammates with Olu Olu. He had 887 rushing yards and 11 TD with UW last season, his lone year there after four years at Virginia. They waived a CB, Montrae Braswell.

Being a big U-Dub fan, I am a fan off Wayne Taulapapa. Glad he gets a chance with my other most favorite team. I realize he is a "camp body" but maybe he'll show enough to get a shot on another RB needy team. He was really good for the Huskies this past season. Not as good as Zack , but then, few are.

Marshawn: “Take care of your chicken”. The rookie listened. The Boss: “Pay Me My Money Down”. Not sure if ‘Spoon heard that song but it’s one of his greats.

You called it, Ken. The hand wringing online was something else. And fans are really upset at Witherspoon from the comments I've seen. Have to wonder if this won't impact his jersey sales, but hopefully it's all forgotten in a few weeks.

Knowledgeable fans will still be buying his Jersey....and they most likely weren't handwringing. Besides, I don't pay attention to all the online bullshit. I get my football truth from Seaside Joe and the community he created.

All will be forgotten in a few minutes. Thanks to our political media, we are always fired up about our problem de jour, and will be equally outraged by tomorrows problem without any memory of todays or yesterdays problem de jour.

The only people who will remember are the agents for next years top ten draft picks and I am pretty sure the Seahawk's won't be dealing with them.

I can't imagine anyone will remember by Monday.
