Kacyvenski said Seattle had a "poker face" leading up to the draft, with the only real contact coming during a psychological interview at the Blue-Gray game. He had been flown out to Green Bay and Cincinnati and visited the Patriots and said he thought he would be drafted by one of those teams...
...defiant - and to many, provocative - spirit of the Confederacy sustained critical injuries Wednesday when South Carolina state senators voted 36-7 to remove the flag from its perch atop the statehouse.
