SEATTLE -- The guitar riffs ripped from the hotel ballroom where owner Paul Allens band was performing and filled the lobby. Cheap NFL Jerseys China . Down on the lower level, Hall of Famer Walter Jones posed for pictures with exuberant fans. This celebration in the wee hours of Monday morning was what Pete Carroll envisioned when he arrived in Seattle in January 2010 and was finally given the full say over an NFL franchise in the hopes of replicating at the professional level what he was able to accomplish in college. Celebrating was standard practice when Carroll was at USC. But the party that followed Sundays 43-8 blowout of Denver that gave Seattle its first NFL title topped all those previous celebrations. It may just be the beginning for the Seahawks. "This is exactly what we envisioned from day one. We were going to be right here and win this football game -- and it just happened to be in New York. which makes it even more special -- in the fashion that we were able," Carroll said. "We deserved it and we earned it because this is exactly what weve been preparing for, and we expected it. That may sound cocky. That may sound arrogant. But its a mentality you cant get in one week." Seattles coronation was the culmination of an overhaul that Carroll and general manager John Schneider embarked upon when they took control of the Seahawks. Nearly 1,000 roster moves later, they could finally take the ultimate satisfaction in what they had created: the envy of the NFL. The Seahawks are mean and talented on defence. They have one of the most dynamic young players in the game in quarterback Russell Wilson. And the surrounding cast complements him well. There is very little indication this will be a one-year flash. "One of the things that happens every so often is teams have a big fallout after they win the Super Bowl," Carroll said. "Were not in that situation." Seattles title will be remembered for a dominating defence that will be regarded among the best in league history. Richard Shermans play at cornerback -- and sometimes his mouth -- drew the attention but that defence was far more than Sherman and his "Legion of Boom" teammates in the secondary. Linebacker Bobby Wagner was even better in his second season, while Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith was called upon to play different positions throughout the season. The signings of Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett on the defensive line, and the re-signing of Clinton McDonald after Week 1, gave the Seahawks the deepest defensive line rotation in the league, all with plenty of energy to chase Colin Kaepernick in the NFC title game and harass Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl. Offensively, the Seahawks were without their top two wide receivers for most of the season between Percy Harvins preseason hip surgery and Sidney Rices midseason knee injury. But Harvin showed just why the Seahawks made the investment with his 87-yard kickoff return touchdown that was essentially the final blow in the Super Bowl. Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin believed they were disrespected all season and were intent on proving critics wrong. For the most part, they did, while Jermaine Kearse continued to play the role of another undrafted gem discovered by Schneider. The offensive line missed both starting tackles -- Breno Giacomini and Russell Okung -- for more than half the regular season due to injuries but managed. And Marshawn Lynch continued to go "Beast Mode" at just the right times. Seattle should be able to keep its core together but there will be difficult decisions to make. There are key free agents, including Baldwin and Tate. There are also potential salary cap decisions to be made with players like Rice, Zach Miller, Chris Clemons, Brandon Mebane and Red Bryant. Then there are the two looming extensions that could get done this off-season -- Earl Thomas and Sherman. Both players can be extended before the start of next season, but the likelihood is that Seattle tries to get a deal done with Thomas first and then see if an extension will work for Sherman. So far, Sherman has been the ultimate bargain for Seattle, scheduled to make less than $700,000 in base salary next season. Thomas and Sherman are entering the final year of their rookie contracts in 2014 and with both now two-time All-Pro selections, each is likely due a hefty raise. If Seattle can get both extensions done, it would allow them to focus on Wilson during the 2014-15 off-season when his rookie deal can be redone. "We are looking two to three years ahead so last year we knew we were going to have some things coming and how to handle certain players and to know just where we are headed," Schneider said recently. "We put different models together. Matt Thomas does a phenomenal job with it. Figure out the best way to navigate it. They are really good problems to have."

The Brazilian international goalkeeper was beaten twice in the first 12 minutes of his Reds debut in a 3-1 preseason loss to Columbus Crew in Florida earlier this week. http://www.wholesalechinajerseysforcheap.com/ . This week, topics cover the World Series champion Red Sox, John Farrell and what to look forward to this off-season.Major League Soccer released its full 2015 schedule on Wednesday, two months to the day before Canadas teams will kick off the new season. Here are five things to look for: 1. O Canada Each teams home openers were announced just before Christmas so we already knew that Vancouver Whitecaps would host Toronto FC on the opening day of the season, March 7th at BC Place. There will be four all-Canadian matchups in total in MLS this season. As Canada gets set to welcome the world in June for the FIFA Womens World Cup, there will also be two all-Canadian clashes in MLS that month. The Whitecaps will travel to Montreal on Wednesday, June 3rd to play the Impact at Stade Saputo, and on Wednesday, June 24th Toronto FC will host Montreal at BMO Field in the first of three matches between the 401 rivals. The Reds and Impact will meet again in Toronto on Saturday, August 29th and then they will finish the season playing each other in Montreal on Sunday, October 25th. 2. Seven On The Road With BMO Field undergoing renovations during the early stages of the season, Toronto FCs quest for a first ever playoff berth will get underway with seven matches in a row away from home. Before they host Houston at BMO Field on Sunday May 10th, Toronto will travel to Vancouver, Columbus, Real Salt Lake, Chicago, Dallas, Orlando and Philadelphia. If Greg Vanneys team can at least stay in touch with the playoff pack by the time they return home, they will have a favourable schedule to look forward to. Beginning with their home opener against the Dynamo, they will play six of eight games at home during May and June, and perhaps most importantly 10 of their last 14 matches of the 2015 season will be on home soil with eight of those games against Eastern Conference opposition. 3. Theres No Place Like Home Like Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps will face a time where they cannot use their BC Place stadium during the 2015 season. The Caps will be on the road for five matches during the Womens World Cup at Montreal, LA, New York Red Bulls, New England and Colorado - but that means they can also look to take advantage of a few occasions during the season wherre their schedule is heavy with home games.

They will also play six of their last nine matches at home. With the Whitecaps also facing matches in the Amway Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions League later in the year, having less MLS travel during the later stages of the season will certainly be a bonus. 4. Kings Of Cascadia Alongside the all-Canadian matches, the first dates circled on the schedules of Whitecaps fans will be the Cascadia Cup matches. Winning the trophy in Seattle last October was one of the highlights of the season, and the Caps will now look to claim the trophy for the third successive year. The Whitecaps defence of the Cascadia Cup starts early in the season, with Portland Timbers visiting BC Place on Saturday, March 28th. The Caps will head to Portland twice during the season on Saturday, May 2nd and Saturday, July 18th. Seattle will travel up the I5 twice, first on May 16th and then again on Saturday September 19th. A week after the visit of Seattle, the Caps will welcome MLS new boys New York City led by Spanish star David Villa. The Whitecaps only trip of the year to Seattle will take place on the August long weekend with the match at CenturyLink Field set for Saturday, August 1st. 5. Expansion Montreals home opener against Orlando City at Olympic Stadium on Saturday, March 28th will be one of six matches the Impact will play against expansion teams in 2015.Orlando and their Brazilian star Kaka will visit Montreal again to play at Stade Saputo on June 20th, and the Impact will travel to Orlando on October 3rd. The Impact will face New York City FC three times during July and August, first at Stade Saputo on July 4th and then making trips to Yankee Stadium on July 13th and August 1st. The MLS on TSN broadcast schedule will be confirmed in the coming days, but once again we will bring you games involving all three Canadian teams, and kicking off the season with Vancouver against Toronto on March 7th. Bring it On! ' ' '
