As most of you know I am a huge Seattle homer fan!  But today is a very sad day for many seahawk fans,  I just found out that Mack Strong the fifteen year full back vet has announced today he will retire with a spinal cord injury.  He had a herniated disc in his neck pressing against his spinal cord causing tingling down his arms and legs.  I just wanted to give one of many unsung heroes in the NFL his dues.  By the way he has got to have the greatest name of a fullback  of all time!  Anyways I just wanted to say you will be miss Mack you are one of the main reasons Alexander got the MVP!  To  a great football player how was an unrestricted free agent walked on the seahawks camp fifteen years ago that would never make it in the NFL!  Thanks for the years and the inspiration!  Good luck in all you do!

What a great player, and what a sad ending to his awesome career. You did a great job here, and I am sure he would be honored! You are right, he does have the best name in football! Mack Strong, good luck and God Bless!

Great post,

I think Shaun will miss him way more than anyone else. I am sure that Alexander is not feeling very well after hearing this news!

adding pictures is very easy. All you have to do is 1. Go to GOOGLE IMAGES 2. Search for a picture. 3. Click on the one you want. Then go to "SEE FULL SIZE IMAGE." Restore down your blog page and the picture page. DRAG IT ON TO YOUR POST.

How to........ADD VIDEOS

1. Go to "YOU TUBE" 2. search for a video you want. 3.COPY "EMBED" Location on page: Right of the video. Beneath URL. It is tough to miss. 4. COPY EMBED on post. you have a video!

To get video to show up on page click"edit" and the video will come up. Then hit "update post"
I saw you didn't know how to add pictures or videos and that was why you didn't enter Greenspire's competition. Now when another one comes along you can join too!

When Alexander enters the Hall Of Fame in Canton, it would only be fitting that he have Mack Strong do the introduction speech.

Any player who survives in the NFL for 10+ years deserves some medal of honor. The players are just so fast, big, and dangerous, that it's a miracle for players to survive one game much less 10+ years of it.

I hope Strong's doctors are able to alleviate his herniated disk issue. I know what those are like, and are excruciating. I don't want to see another unsung NFL hero living the rest of their life in pain, struggle, and poverty, while NFL turns it's back on them again.
