During the latest broadcast of FOX NFL Sunday, Charissa Thompson humorously opened up about her two divorces. This came after co-host Michael Strahan discussed the Seattle Seahawks’ recent decision to move on from quarterback Geno Smith.
Seattle Seahawks Transition
The Seahawks recently replaced Geno Smith with Sam Darnold, who signed a three-year contract worth $100.5 million in March. Darnold had a notable previous season, leading the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs with a 14-3 record and throwing 35 touchdowns. However, after a disappointing playoff performance against the Los Angeles Rams, the Vikings decided to let Darnold explore free agency.
Seahawks Performance
- Current record: 9-3
- Recent victory: 26-0 against the Minnesota Vikings
- Darnold’s passing stats: 128 yards
- Defensive performance: Four interceptions by Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer
The Seahawks’ general manager, John Schneider, appears to have made a wise strategic decision in moving to Darnold. Analysis by FOX’s Jay Glazer revealed that discussions regarding Smith’s future began at the scouting combine, where it was clear that the team anticipated Smith would not seek a renegotiation of his contract.
Reflections on Personal Life
Charissa Thompson, responding to Strahan’s insights, shared her thoughts on knowing when to end a relationship. “That’s like me and my divorces, I knew just when to get out,” she joked, prompting laughter among her co-hosts.
Upcoming Challenges for the Seahawks
Despite their strong performance this season, the Seahawks face intense competition. Both the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers are close behind, with records of 9-3 and 9-4, respectively. Additionally, Seattle is set to encounter the Indianapolis Colts (8-4) and Carolina Panthers (7-6), who recently achieved a surprising win over the Rams.
This blend of personal reflection and professional commentary highlights the intertwining of sports and life, providing viewers with both entertainment and relatable moments.
