As a reporter, you come to dislike clichés. But I caught myself saying one after staring at the lake next to the Seahawks’ training camp site.
I told myself that life was good after realizing I’m in Renton, Wash., many miles away from home, waiting for an interview with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during my first NFL training camp tour. Nine teams, five states—and thousands of stories to get to this point.
Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the roses. O.K., enough with the clichés.
