New: No free agent signee has made a bigger impact — or left a larger void — than Ken Walker III, the NFL’s leading rusher. The Seahawks are still searching for an offensive identity. The 5-0 Chiefs have built theirs around Ken. And it’s working. nytimes.com/athletic/7708366…

New story: In a hypercompetitive NFL landscape, rival executives are willing to make exceptions for #Seahawks GM John Schneider, whose ability to build 2 completely different Super Bowl winners is as much as about camaraderie as it is scouting talent. “You’re lucky in this business if you leave it with a ring, but if you’re really lucky, you’ll leave it with lifelong friends like John.” nytimes.com/athletic/7630284…

New: John Schneider is arguably the best architect in America’s most popular sport. His secret sauce goes beyond knowing which players to acquire. This is about trust, companionship & having one more round at Dino’s Pub. On the #Seahawks GM everyone wants to have a beer with: nytimes.com/athletic/7630284…

NEW: Greg Powers called his ASU men’s hockey team ‘soft’. Then came an ex-Green Beret and a workout that left a player on life support. Story w/ @nathanfenno and @AdamKilgoreWP (free to read) nytimes.com/athletic/7600946…

Probably just excited about @CSUFootball.
I didn’t know Klint was capable of this emotion. First win as a head coach obviously feels good.

"I'm not pushing Jerry out by any means," Troy Aikman says, "but when that day comes, it's gonna feel a lot different." Darren Woodson is more blunt: "Stephen's going to chart a different path. He's got a little bit more motherf—er in him." nytimes.com/athletic/7317883…

A day late to this, but what an absolutely bonkers story. Set some time aside and read it.
Michael Blatt was on the verge of becoming the Seattle Seahawks’ GM. Then a longtime business associate was murdered with a crossbow. Blatt was charged with murder, but ultimately walked free. How? @KatieJStrang, @nathanfenno & @zkeefer investigate: nyti.ms/3UdU7nD?utm_medium=s…

A brash real estate developer was in line to run the Seattle Seahawks.  Then came a brutal murder with a crossbow —and a decades-long mystery. A wild investigation reported alongside @KatieJStrang and @zkeefer. nytimes.com/athletic/7489309…

Excellent work here from Britt - and frank words from Buster. It's also unlocked and free for all to read.
He doesn’t need the money nor the spotlight of the job. He has almost nothing to gain. Yet here Buster Posey is, putting his sterling reputation on the line. “It’s either really admirable or really foolish. And we’ll know which when it’s over.” nytimes.com/athletic/7499186…

This is the wildest NFL saga you’ve never heard about. A brash real estate developer on the cusp of running the Seahawks. A brutal murder with a crossbow. And, decades later, a bizarre twist that remained secret until now.  #longreads nytimes.com/athletic/7489309…

Did you know that someone accused of orchestrating a crossbow killing and wrongly suspected of being the Golden State Killer was once on the verge of becoming general manager of an #NFL team? Colleagues @KatieJStrang, @zkeefer & @nathanfenno revisit the life and times of Mike Blatt.
