Mike Morris's Make-or-Break Season | Seattle News

Mike Morris is on the clock—Seattle’s massive fifth-round defensive end must prove he’s more than flashes in a critical final year. With a shoulder injury delaying his NFL breakout and a deep roster pushing him to the brink, Morris needs to elevate his play fast. Standing 6’6” and over 300 lbs, he’s got the tools to be a run-stopper or even a tackle—versatility the Seahawks value. But with Rylie Mills shifting to DE and Morris on the hook for over a million bucks, camp is his last chance to show he’s worth keeping. Can he turn potential into production? The answer could reshape his future—and the team’s defensive depth.

Flag Code Secrets You Didn't Know | Seattle News

As the U.S. heads toward its 250th birthday in 2026, the flag code—dating back to 1777—is getting more attention. While the 50-star flag debuted in 1960, rules cover everything from flying it 24/7 (with lights on at night) to never displaying it upside down unless signaling dire danger. When paired with other flags, Old Glory must be top and center. Bunting is preferred for decorations, with red below white, and wearing flag patterns is fine—but never the flag itself as clothing, bedding, or for ads. Worn-out flags should be respectfully destroyed, preferably by burning after proper folding. And here’s the twist: though it’s federal law, it’s not enforceable on private citizens—so break the rules without fear of penalty. It’s a guide to honor, not a legal mandate.
