#Seahawks facility still without power. No hot water for the players as well. Generators doing what they can. Practice at the facility today but might be moved to Lumen Field tomorrow. Prep for a big game against the #AZCardinals continues.

May not be related but brings to mind, WWE submitted a letter in March opposing a CT House bill that would repeal the state's film & TV tax credit program, which WWE (and many others like ESPN and NBCU) benefit from each year. WWE got $15M from the program last year.

Hunt got is little shot in at Williams with the allegation that they were following him. An argument that could not be discussed as a legal claim on appeal.

Key argument stressed by Williams here is that Hunt did not show extraordinary damages from the alleged injury. No damages =no case
