    Pete Carroll, the Benedict Arnold of USC

    Documentary about the corruption behind the man

      by Derpster

    I look at the clock and see a giant 3 flash back at me. No it is not a Wilson themed clock, its really 3 in the morning and I’m in a heavy sweat. . . The nightmare….it was the same again last night. I was sitting in the mid tier row cheering on Largent, and went over to grab Jenny’s hand, only for her lavender fingers to crumble away into dust….then the very seat I was in collapsed and could only hear the cocky voice as the paralysis wore off and I jumped out of bed, knocking over a half finished apple martini.  No need to think, that voice has haunted me for the past 4 years. Carroll’s laugh sent a chill down my spine, so I washed my face with water…and gripped the pen, ready to let my thoughts flow…emotions tempered, like a mad man…began my letter…

    The Oakland Raiders, a once fearsome rival in the classic AFC West were unable to conquer Pete Carroll’s regime this past Sunday. Russell Wilson, the bright starlet was once again under duress for the majority of the game. Pete’s tactics were quite simple, “Just Win Baby,” and showed no regard for Wilson’s safety, nor to the fan’s pleas of protecting the franchise quarterback.
    Before I continue my dissection, I’d like to mention I’ve been a fan for nearly 30 years and although the past few years were great, abet the Super Bowl run, winning in such a class less manner leaves a scar on our great franchise’s history. Greats like Zorn and Largent, Shaun Alexander and the might neon green. . . Concrete from the great King Dome still stashed away in my closet…
    Medusa Head’s media rampage has made the Seahawks a laughing stock amidst the NFL community, and encourages the youth to act in uncivil manner. Instead of focusing the spotlight on Wilson, Carroll’s goons have made Sherman the face of the franchise. With it, comes disgrace, dishonor, and dishonesty, causing some experts to simply view the team as the Seattle Inmates.

     

    When I was forced out of the Clink many years ago, the stadium went by the name of Quest, I was unjustly forced from my seat for shouting obscenities at a rival fan. A mere “Dolphindick” exclamation severed the last ties I had with my favorite team. For those harmless, alcohol induced comments, I was stripped of my season tickets and indirectly, forced away from my season ticket partner and soul mate, Jennifer. My pleas and requests for re-approval were quickly denied, with the franchise making efforts to eliminate real fans to help bring in a new generation of hooligans and criminals to promote Carroll’s coming of power.

     

    Despite the tragedy and crippling abuse of freedom, I trekked on and warned future generations of the evils of Medusa Head and Peter Carroll. I journeyed back to Egypt and Cush, to learn more about our world’s past, in order to use historical analysis to correlate it to Carroll’s future plans. Carroll’s prison system was at its peak this past off season when he employed 5 African American QBs. Although that might come off as racist, I assure you it is not, but more of a sign that Carroll has no problem changing quarterbacks. Veteran Hasselbeck was a beloved figure in Seattle before Carroll came and consecutive 7-9 seasons caused him to betray Hasselbeck in favor of unproven QB T-Jack. As the story goes, Carroll’s loyalty then fell on Matt Flynn, and finally the ever so evasive, Russell Wilson. Every QB Carroll has had, he has ruined with his crushing, overruling presence. Forcing them to run on plays where a simple hand off would suffice, or making him divorce his lovely wife in order to focus 100% on the regime. The selfish behavior by Carroll is also shown in the locker room. Players are not calling for Wilson’s head, claiming he’s not black enough, a rumor started after Carroll FORCED Wilson to watch Disney’s Frozen with him the weekend after the Super Bowl.

     

    When Percival was first traded to the team, I was the adamant voice in disapproval. Carroll’s plans to force laziness, corruptness, and vice into the locker room comes at a cost. Although Harvin’s hands did not grip Carroll’s neck, as he was known for doing in the past, punching young playmaker Golden Tate in the eye will be Harvin’s most productive act in his short stay in the Emerald City, and his trade could not have come at a better time. For this, I am starting to give the team a second chance. Ancient Egyptians did not make the correct decision the first time, and like Frozen, as Russell Wilson would mention, true love is not found the first time you meet someone, but repeated meetings with multiple people until you find the right match. For the GM to trade Harvin, it shows that he knows he made a mistake with hiring the ex USC henchman. Perhaps J.S. can do what I always wanted to do, slam the door in Carroll’s face and tell him to jump off the Space Needle.

     

    That being said, I look forward to the brighter days in Seattle. Where children no longer represent evil (i.e. wearing swastika in Nazi Germany) by wearing a Medusa Head jersey.

     

    So fellow Hawk fans…will you stand with me and put a stop to the madness? Force Carroll out before he contaminates the drinking water and gets his hand on drones?
     
    Are we the Ottoman Empire, falling apart without leadership…or should we return back to our roots like our Ancient Egyptian ancestors…
