Regarding Earl flipping off Carroll...nearly everyone that is a Seahawks fan supported Earl on that move. Earl is a legend. One of the best ever and a sure fire hall of famer. Dude just wanted to get compensated. He saw what happened to Cam, Sherman, Bennett, and Avril. He finally relents and plays on a his very team friendly deal. And boom. Get hurt. Which is exactly why he was pushing for a deal.
Carroll preaches family, love, blah blah. Seahawks organization definitely deserved that bird. Classy no. But it was a long time coming.
