SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
So Jefferson plays in Seattle where EVERY single opponent gets something thrown at them. He also gets paid well to do what he does because there are fans in the stadium.

I wasn't passing judgment on the Jags fans, empathizing with Jefferson, or supporting his conduct. I was simply intrigued that the various elements of the photo provided a perfect tableau to mirror Carroll's comments.

I'm still attempting to recover from yesterday's Ice Age game in Buffalo.

That feels unsupportable. Does it include the medical staff? Injured players who traveled?

Pete Carroll, commenting on the Jacksonville fans at yesterday's Seahawks - Jaguars game, and on his player's attempt to go into the stands to confront people:
"He just kind of lost it,'' Carroll said of Jefferson afterward, according to the Seattle Times. "Somebody poured a beer on his head walking out of the stadium or something. I told him that's pro football. They pay to get in, they can do whatever they want I guess.''
This photo tells the whole tale.
