Yesterday morning, I listened to an interesting interview Brock and Salk had with Tod Leiweke. During that interview, he said something that absolutely floored me.
According to Leiweke ... it was former Hawks GM Bob Whitsitt who reached out to Paul Allen and convinced him to buy the Seahawks. Now, when I heard that, I was like, "WOW!" :shock: [Serious shock and disbelief] I'm no fan of Whitsitt whatsoever. How he handled the un-retirement of Steve Largent's number (giving #80 to Jerry Rice) still sticks in my craw a little bit. Plenty of bones to pick with that guy. So to hear that Whitsitt was the one who basically is responsible for the Seahawks still being in Seattle was a bit of a bombshell to me. Go figure.
For those who are interested, you can listen to that interview below. Conversation turns to the Seahawks at about the 10:00 minute mark. Personally, I think that if you're a serious passionate historian of the Seahawks, this is a must listen ...
