Christine Michael sparks Seahawks offense to life against woeful 49ers

SEATTLE — Inside the Seahawks locker room late Sunday, Jay Z blasted over the sound system as eight television cameras closed in around running back Christine Michael. That would be Christine Michael, professional football yo-yo. In the last 12 months, he was traded by the Seahawks to Dallas (last September), cut by the Cowboys (November), signed to the Redskins practice squad (also November), re-signed by the Seahawks (December), made a free agent (March) and again re-signed by the Seahawks (also March). That’s 12 months of running back whiplash.

On Sunday, Michael wore a red knit cap, a gold chain as thick as a licorice rope and white Jordans as he tried to explain his uneven career.
