A lifelong student of soccer whose passion for it outstrips his ability, Harvey is happy to return to the Cascadian mecca of The Beautiful Game. A Seattle native, Harvey was lured into the field of sports media by the high salaries and fast cars that are all too commonplace for sportswriters. As a student at Carleton (MN.) College, he worked as a writer, broadcaster and producer for the sports information department. Harvey graduated from Carleton magna cum laude in history and theatre in 2015. Harvey also worked for the North American Soccer League’s Minnesota United FC, contributing to televised broadcasts from the control room. After completing an internship with Sportspress Northwest, he covers the Sounders and UW men’s basketball as well as contributing coverage on the Seahawks and Mariners.
Michael Bennett said his 15-yard penalty for plowing over Bengals QB Andy Dalton Sunday occurred because Dalton was a QB, not because Bennett roughed him up on the ground.
Thrown into the breach created by injuries, suspensions and callups, Lamar Neagle faced criticism for mediocre play. He also took on a workload that his body still feels.
Seattle Sounders forward and designated player Clint Dempsey was contained to the point of non-entity Saturday in the U.S. Men’s National Team’s 3-2 loss to Mexico at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Brad Evans, the other Sounder called up to USMNT, was subbed in late in extra time before a crowd of 93,723.
WR Tyler Lockett muffed a punt Monday night against the Lions because he ran to the ball instead of letting it come to him. A rookie mistake that won’t happen again.
LB K.J. Wright and the back judge made mistakes, but Wright’s error went unpunished. Kam Chancellor saved the Seahawks’ day by thwarting the Lions’ best drive of the game.
A spark plug substitute performance from Marco Pappa and a late goal from Chad Barrett was enough to save Seattle from a loss after a glaring error in the first half.
if Marshawn Lynch’s injuries prevent him from playing Monday against Detroit, backup RBs Fred Jackson and Thomas Rawls say they’re up to the task.
After spraining his neck in a practice fall Wednesday, Sounders defender Chad Marshall has returned home from a stay in the hospital. He is likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Galaxy.
Despite having the stronger lineup and going up a goal in the first half, the Seattle Sounders finished the match lucky not to have lost on the road against Sporting Kansas City.
