Compare it to the 49ers, where it seems like there's a new negative story coming out every week. Maybe the Seahawks just have a better relationship with the local media, but they obviously do a better job of keeping things in-house which demonstrates the solidarity of the organization.
This is Seattle. If it were New York, where there are hoards of reporters looking for a break, then you would be less likely to be able to keep something like this under wraps. The beat reporters here are nothing more than an extension of the Hawks front office. Plus we've been winning. Stories like these are less likely to see the light of day until we hit a true losing streak.
Plus Pete Carroll is a very good natured person and doesn't have as big of a mean streak in him as other head coaches might. He's also as smooth as a baby's behind when talking to the press. He's been in front of the podium for a lot of years, and knows how to work the press rather than them working him.
