Marshawn Lynch's mom is fired up
Delisa Lynch calls Seahawks' offensive coordinator 'the worst playcaller ever.'
YESTERDAY, Delisa Lynch channeled her inner Donald Trump, writing that Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell should be fired.
The mother of Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch made her feelings known on Facebook after Sunday's game in which the Rams stopped her son on fourth-and-1 at the St. Louis 43 to seal a 34-31 win over the Seahawks.
The play caused Delisa to flash back to last season's Super Bowl, when her son was denied a similar opportunity.
On second-and-1 from the Patriots' 1-yard line, the Seahawks elected to have Russell Wilson throw to Ricardo Lockette, even though Lynch had rumbled for 4 yards on the previous play. The pass was intercepted and the Patriots won, 28-24.
Yesterday, Delisa wrote that Bevell was "the worst playcaller ever."
"The only reason he called that dumb azz play yesterday is to be able to justify the 1 yard that wasn't called in the superbowl, but most fans already figured this out . . . I love this team and will stand up to anybody who tries to destroy it boom!!!!"
Boom indeed!
Everything's Jake at USC
USC is No. 6 in the Associated Press college football poll, but No. 1 in our hearts.
That's because long snapper Jake Olson, who is blind, participated in his first practice with the Trojans yesterday after receiving a waiver from the NCAA.
Olson and the Trojans have a history.
Six years ago the then-12-year-old Olson - suffering from a rare cancer of the retina - said he wanted to watch USC play one last time before an operation cost him his eyesight. Then-coach Pete Carroll arranged for Olson to run through the tunnel with the team and watch a game from the sideline.
Now, the 18-year-old Olson is back on the sideline. For now, he's only snapping in practice, but "someday," said coach Steve Sarkisian, "we hope to get Jake into a game."
