If you haven’t read about Collin Cowherd’s heinous act, click here. Anyway, Collin Cowherd told his listeners to unleash a DNS (Denial-of-service) attack on the sports blog, The Big Lead, for some unknown reason, perhaps to take the sports blogging community down a notch. This is a pretty low blow for a guy who has a pretty cushy job, a job a lot of us in the blogosphere would love to have.
As an aspiring writer who knows he never has a chance writing for a big-time company like ESPN, it makes me sick when these so-called experts become too smug for their own good. That great thing about the internet its ability to give Joe or Jane Schmo a voice in whatever interests them. When someone, like Cowherd, feels threatened by this new form of media, why can’t they just step up their game or admit they aren’t as good at what they do as they thought they were?
If you have any belief in what we as blog writers do, you should click here and give ESPN a piece of your mind. Cyberterrorism is wrong, even if you do it under the guise of a big time operation like ESPN.
Seahawks sign a free agent OG! April 5, 2007

Ah, but it’s Chris Gray. It appears as if Gray will return to the Seahawks with a new two-year deal. The 36-year old guard sat on the free agent market for some time, unable to garner any interest. With the addition of Gray, Seattle’s line is dangerously close to returning to its 2006 form, a form that ranked 30th in the league.
Not enough can be said about what Gray has contributed to this team. He’s been a true team player. A dedicated member of the club. An integral part of the team that made it to Super Bowl XL. Unfortunately, time has caught up to Gray, and as last season showed, he just isn’t as effective as he used to be. This is an instant where the Seahawks are grabbing for straws. After losing out on the big name offensive guards, the front office is just going through the motions.
I really do hope Chris Gray proves me wrong, but we are talking about a man that will be 37-years old when the 2007 season starts. My advice to the ‘Hawks front office, trade for, or sign, a guard that will make an impact on this team. If you don’t, your investment in Shaun Alexander will see little, if any, return.
