Peter King's Factoid of the Week

[SeaHawksHuddle]

You may know that most teams have ESPN and NFL Network on in their draft rooms during the draft, with the sound of one or the other on during the dead periods when the teams are not picking. Maybe they can find out a clue about what other teams are doing, maybe they can be entertained when they're bored.


When the Seahawks chose Alabama tackle James Carpenter in the first round of the draft -- an upset; many teams had second-round grades on him -- the chatter on both channels had analysts questioning the pick. Whether the analysts turn out to be right or wrong, that's not a popular thing to hear when you've just made a pick that's been 11 months of scouting in the making.

Reggae music? Classical is supposed to improve your intelligence, but reggae? I wasn't even aware that was a current music option...

You can always find reggae music. They probably turned on the Bob Marley channel on Pandora.

One day Pete and john smoked a fatty and put on some Marley on Pandora and Buffalo Soldier came on... and Pete was like ""hey man I just a crazy idea... we should trade for Marshal Lynch of the Buffalo Bills!!!". John replied "great idea" and Pete said "yeah, I know... WIN FOREVER!!!!"
