In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the Seattle Seahawks to the table for discussion. 

We are so happy to bring this special episode to you all. 

In the first half, we talk to Canucks legend Todd Bertuzzi for over an hour about his experience in the NHL, playing for Vancouver, talking about his relationships with Naslund, Morrison, Tom Larscheid, Yzerman, Chelios and many more. He also talks about how The Great One Wayne Gretzky had his back after a very difficult time in his career. He talks about the trade to Florida and how it was almost going to be Arizona! So many more stories as well as answering fan questions from Twitter!

In the second half, we talk to Stacy Jo Rost of ESPN 710 Seattle as she talks about her own personal experience rising up in the Seahawks media world, and her pursuit into a male dominated world. She talks about how that experience strengthened her resolve sharing some experiences behind the scenes with Doug Baldwin, as well as some hilarious stories with Luke Wilson and many more. It's a great candid interview with our weekly insider on Sportsnet 650.

This week we discussed breaking NFL news! We specifically talked about Doug Baldwin’s retirement, the Ziggy Ansah signing, Dak Prescott contract negotiations, a potential Dez Bryant comeback, Kyler Murray deal, Bobby Wagner extension/no extension, XFL TV and streaming contract, and Seahawks, Steelers, and Eagles News.

We discussed Doug Baldwin’s apparent retirement from the NFL. Baldwin  joined the team as an undrafted rookie in 2011 and went on to become one of the best receivers in franchise history. He battled numerous injuries throughout the 2018 season, and had multiple surgeries this offseason. Baldwin, a difference-maker both on and off the field, didn’t just make the roster as an undrafted rookie in 2011, he went on to lead the Seahawks in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns that year. Over the course of eight seasons, Baldwin set the franchise record for touchdown catches in a season with 14 in 2015, and matched the team record for receptions in a season with 94 in 2016. A two-time Pro-Bowler, Baldwin’s 49 career receiving touchdowns are second only to Hall of Famer Steve Largent in franchise history, and his 493 catches and receiving 6,563 yards rank third behind Largent and Brian Blades (seahawks.com).

We also talked about other news for the Thirst and Goal (TAG) Teams, the Seahawks, Steelers, and Eagles. For example, we opined on Malcolm Jenkins, Blake Countess - Safety/CB, extension through 2020, claimed last week off waivers, was with Rams, drafted by Eagles in 2016. We updated the Steelers’ linebacker situation and gave a Ryan Shazier update. We also touched on the Ziggy Ansah signing in Seattle. 

We talked Game of Thrones Episode 4 - off with your head!

Washington MD, Aberdeen WA, Gibsonia PA, Blanchard OK, Buffalo NY, Oakland CA, Los Angeles CA, Louisville KY, Poland (5), Vietnam, India (2), Spain (2), Peru (1), Hungary (4), Romania, Ireland (2), and Australia (2). 

Frane concocted the Mom-Chata shot (Grenadine-Rum-Chata-Tequila Rose) and a TAG original bumped the lead in.
