ATLANTA It’s happened just about every playoff season the Seahawks have had -- except the only one that ended with a win, in the Super Bowl.
A player explodes in the locker room at a member of the media minutes after his season just ended. It’s understandable. Not appropriate or commendable, but understandable. This is a sport where emotion, testosterone and sacrifice are expended so rawly and extensively, and players absolutely put their long-term health at risk to win.
It happened again Saturday night at the Georgia Dome.
Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett berated a Seattle television reporter at his locker for asking questions after the Seahawks’ season ended in the divisional playoffs with a 36-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
