Earl Thomas: Seahawks like James Brown

Since the Seattle Seahawks played on Thursday night, free safety Earl Thomas spent the weekend studying what other NFL teams do. He came to one clear conclusion.

The Seahawks are the NFL's version of James Brown, according to safety Earl Thomas: "funky and nasty."

"It made me realize that we're different," Thomas said. "It really did, in a lot of ways. We're in sync and we're swarming the ball. We just have a different sound. It's funky and nasty; James Brown-type stuff. It's very unique."

I watched 8 games from the weekend.

Nobody swarms the ball like the Hawks. Jags were closest, but faded.

The hardest working team in NFL business.

James Brown is a bad, bad, bad man. And so are our Hawks.

James Brown >>>>> Elvis.
Great stuff Earl!

Another thing about James Brown.

He was really loud.

Thematically speaking, the most appropriate 'Hawks-related JB song:

JB was a UGA/Falcons fan, by the way:

Ummm.... I don't think he said James was a hawks fan...

Nope. Just a factoid. And it's a little late for JB to change his mind about it, regretfully.
