Have you ever heard something that makes you shake your head and wonder what they hell the person was thinking? Well, it happened Wednesday night in Atlanta. Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin, a native of Atlanta, was in town watching the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards NBA playoff game when he made an interesting comment.

When asked by Samuel Logan of blacksportsonline.com where he wanted to be when his contract was up, Irvin responded by saying “I’m going to be in Atlanta next season. I’m ready.” When Logan asked him what if the Seahawks showed him the money, Irvin said “Atlanta is where I want to be. Believe that”.

Stop. Just stop Irvin. You aren’t doing yourself any good by making statements like that. Yes, we know you aren’t happy that the Seahawks didn’t pick up your option, but maybe if you had been a little more productive since you have been in Seattle, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Also you can’t really think that the Seahawks will pay you when you only averaged 5.5 sacks in your three seasons. Also don’t forget Bruce, Seattle has to pay Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner and possibly Russell Okung. You just don’t fit in right now.

You also didn’t do yourself any favors when it comes time to hit the free agent market. Most players want to maximize the amount of money that they can get when they hit the market for the first time. All you did was tell all the other teams that you want to play in Atlanta. I can only imagine how irritated your agent must feel right now. You just lost yourself some money there.

Lastly, who says that the Atlanta Falcons want you anyway? Yes, it is your hometown and the head coach is your old defensive coordinator, but maybe they don’t want you. Did you ever think about that? Doubt it.

Good luck during the 2015 NFL season playing for a team you seem to no longer care about. Don’t be surprised if the fans don’t show you the same love anymore. Also don’t be surprised if you find yourself on the field less than normal after making these remarks.

If yours truly could give you one bit of advice, think before you speak. You have a history of saying things that you probably shouldn’t say whether it be via Twitter or to some reporter in Atlanta. Be smart.
