CAMP CHENEY 2004
The Seahawks officially begin training camp in Cheney tomorrow.
A few notes on the Seahawks going into training camp:
---GET YOUR ASS TO CHENEY, WALTER JONES! I know Cheney is not a great place (I know this, I lived there for a year), but dammit, this is an important season for the Seahawks. Sure, Walter has played great the last two seasons after missing all of training camp. But I'm fed up with this. Most, if not all, Seahawks fans are as well. Of course, it's his agent Roosevelt Barnes that's been screwing around here. The Seahawks have been more than fair when dealing with the Jones matter. Again, GET YOUR ASS TO CHENEY, WALTER!
---DE Grant Wistrom will miss the start of training camp after being placed on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) due to his back. He shouldn't miss any significant time however. The Seahawks may have overpaid Wistrom, but he's very valuable to this defense.
---First-round pick DT Marcus Tubbs remains unsigned. The Seahawks have all of their draft picks signed, except for Tubbs. He should be in Cheney soon, as talks have heated up.
---TE Jerramy Stevens is apparently staying out of trouble this year. If he can play up to his potential in 2004, look out. The Seahawks are better off with both Stevens and Itula Mili playing well.
And in other NFC West news:
---Rams RT Kyle Turley re-injured his surgically repaired back over the weekend. He started all 16 games for the Rams in 2003, but his back was a threat to his career. The Rams are already without LT Orlando Pace because of a contract holdout. If they lose Turley, they're in trouble.

There really aren't too many NFL blogs on the net right now. Count us as one of the few. Don't worry, we're still going to talk Mariners baseball. But at the same time, over the next few weeks, the football talk will heat up as well as the Olympics, with both Tara and Dana Kirk swimming in Athens. Things are not only heating up weather-wise, but they're also heating up here at Sports and Bremertonians.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
