Marshawn Lynch the photographer forearmed a Seahawk for vital reason
Marshawn Lynch was known for stiff-arming everyone during that famed Beast Quake run, so it shouldn't be any surprise that while he was on the sidelines photographing the Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders preseason game, he was out there protecting the camera like it was a football. As Seahawks running back George Holani was heading toward Lynch and what probably is a very expensive camera, the former RB gave Holani a forearm shiver. It was a good move, as the camera was protected. He's just there so he won't get fined, but hey, maybe the NFL thinks otherwise! I'm kidding, obviously. Why was Marshawn Lynch photographing the Seahawks game? I've found no answer on that yet, but maybe he's taken up the hobby like another Seattle athletic legend. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Marshawn Lynch the photographer elbowed a Seahawk during game

Pete Carroll will always oppose re-seeding the playoffs after a big win in Seattle
Pete Carroll strongly opposed the proposal that would have taken away a guaranteed home playoff team from division winners, a stance rooted in his own coaching history. For decades, NFL division winners have earned the right to open the playoffs on their home fields, regardless of their records, while wild card teams hit the road. A proposal this offseason suggested that if a division winner had a losing record, the wild card could be the home team when they met in the playoffs. Carroll's 2010 Seahawks went 7-9 in the regular season but won the NFC West, faced the 11-5 Saints in the first round of the playoffs, and won an upset in Seattle. That game is best remembered for Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's iconic 'Beast Quake' touchdown run, one of the greatest plays in NFL history, and Carroll reminisced about it on Lynch's podcast with fellow former Seahawk Mike Robinson. 'I wasn't voting for that other rule. I was voting for the division winners,' Carroll said. 'I like the structure and I like the championship within the championship. That's just part of it. Remember? Own the NFC West was our deal, and own the AFC West is what it is now.' Carroll said anyone who thinks a division winner with a losing record can't make noise in the playoffs need only remember what those 7-9 Seahawks did. 'Remember what we did with it? Remember that freaking game? Nobody ever thought — they were saying, 'This is the worst matchup in the history of the NFL, and we were going to get murdered,'' Carroll said. For this year, the playoff seeding will be unchanged. It's possible that the NFL could revisit the rule next year. If so, expect Carroll to be a voice at the league meeting in favor of guaranteeing division winners home-field advantage.

Former Saints QB Chase Daniel reflects on heartbreaking playoff losses
Former Saints QB Chase Daniel reflects on heartbreaking playoff losses 'I've been a part of some of the worst playoff losses in NFL history' Chase Daniel has done really well for himself, especially at the bank. He earned a whopping $43.1 million through 14 years as an NFL backup quarterback, spending time with seven different teams -- most notably the New Orleans Saints, where he spent five years of his career. Daniel won a Super Bowl ring with the Saints as a rookie in 2009 and later returned to the team in 2017. While he was inactive for many of them, he had a front-row seat to many playoff games along the way. And from where he stands, while he didn't throw many passes himself, he didn't exactly have an easy time of it in the league. "I've been a part of some of the worst playoff losses in NFL history," Daniel wrote on social media, rattling off a series of painful exits in the postseason. He watched Marshawn Lynch run wild in the "Beast Quake" game during the 2010 playoffs with the Saints, then saw Stefon Diggs do the same in the 2017 "Minneapolis Miracle" (also called the Minnesota Miracle). And that was just with New Orleans. As a member of the Chicago Bears in 2018, Daniel saw a rare "Double Doink" field goal try bounce off of the left upright and onto the crossbar before falling to the turf, ending Chicago's season. He's seen history made, too. Daniel was the Kansas City Chiefs' backup quarterback in a 2013 wild-card game they initially led 38-10, but lost 45-44 after Andrew Luck rallied the Indianapolis Colts with four touchdown passes and another score off of a wacky fumble recovery. Just a few years ago in the 2022 playoffs, Daniel was a member of the Los Angeles Chargers when they took a 27-0 lead and squandered it, losing 31-30 to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That's a brutal legacy to put together. That Daniel woke up in a cold sweat at his lovely California home, got on his phone at just after 6 a.m. California time, and reflected on all those defeats in a tweet speaks volumes. Losing is never easy. Between his time with the Saints and a few other unfortunate teams, he's had to deal with more heartbreaking season-ending losses than most.

Metallica Show In Virginia University Shakes The Earth: Concerts In History That Caused Earthquakes
Last Updated: Metallica fans recently triggered an earthquake, but there have been other instances where crowds have caused similar seismic effects, simply by showing their enthusiasm. We're off to never-never land! Concerts have often seen fans creating an unforgettable atmosphere, but sometimes the crowd's energy is so intense that it causes an earthquake. Metallica fans recently made headlines by triggering seismic activity during their Virginia Tech stadium performance. The ground shook as fans jumped up and down while the band played one of their most famous tracks, Enter Sandman. The excitement of fans registered a small earthquake. It isn't the first time music lovers have shaken the earth; there have been other instances where crowds have caused similar seismic effects simply by showing their enthusiasm. Let's look at some of the most memorable concerts that triggered an earthquake. When Taylor Swift brought her Eras Tour to Seattle in July 2023, Swifties created seismic activity similar to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake, according to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach. During the time, many compared the shake to the Beast Quake in 2011, when Seattle Seahawks fans jumped and cheered after a big touchdown by player Marshawn 'Beast Mode' Lynch at the same stadium, where Swift performed. The singer also felt the crowd's energy and later thanked them in a post on Instagram. Travis Scott In August 2023, a Travis Scott concert at the historic Circus Maximus in Rome caused a small earthquake. The tremors were so strong that Italy's fire services got many calls from worried people who thought it was a real earthquake. However, it was just the energy from the excited crowd. Giovanni Diaferia, a seismologist from the Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, said the shaking was close to 1.3 magnitude, which was even recorded by a seismic station 9 kilometres away. Garth Brooks Shortly after Garth Brooks began his show at Louisiana State University, the crowd got wild. When he sang Callin' Baton Rouge, the energy became so intense that the ground started shaking. A seismograph set up by an LSU professor recorded the small earthquake caused by the crowd's excitement. The noise decibels reached over 95, and it even triggered noise alerts on people's smart devices. Bruce Springsteen and E Street Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band performed at Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium in May 2016. The excitement caused tremors, which caught the attention of Jordi Diaz, the scientific director at the Seismic Laboratory of the Institute of Earth Science Jaume Almera. A broadband seismometer recorded the fans' enthusiasm during Springsteen's songs and showed a sharp increase in seismic activity, even though the music didn't get louder. The shaking was strong when Springsteen performed the song Shout. AC/DC Australian rock band AC/DC is known for being one of the loudest bands ever. On December 15, 2015, during their Rock or Bust world tour, they performed at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland. The concert was so loud that it reached 103 decibels and was heard 6.4 km away. Seismographs even picked up ground vibrations caused by the sound system and the movement of the excited crowd. First Published: May 10, 2025, 11:29 IST
