    That really bothers me about Roy because Paul was his biggest fan!

    He could be for this one occasion if he wanted too.

    I don't think anyone should feel obligated to publicly come out and say nice things about someone who passes away.
    We don't know what their relationship with PA was like, their feelings even if they have nothing but positive things to say could just be a private matter for them.

    So you guys know, that tribute video was during a timeout in the first quarter, not before the game.

    That's kind of an insensitive tweet given that Paul founded Microsoft, not Apple. Unless that's the joke.

    Haven’t read the article yet but Carroll just received a contract extension that I’m guessing she was involved in? Going to read it now. Just wanna get it out there

    Not much there but she clearly was involved in the contract negotiation.

    Warning: as a Seahawks fan I can assure you Carroll says “fired up” about everything

    Still interesting that she’s making decisions for them, I guess, as owner? For now?

    Last I heard PA is buried in an unmarked grave at a family plot/area.

    Not that surprising. It was announced that Jody Allen was going to keep the Seahawks in the family. It's the Blazers that are the big question mark. This has me asking, was Paul might have been a bigger football fan than a basketball fan?
