Welcome back! Im sure you heard Peter Forsbergs comme

PHOENIX - Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Friday it will be Richard Shermans decision whether to play in Sundays Super Bowl if his pregnant girlfriend goes into labour with the couples first child sooner than expected.Carroll said during a joint news conference with New England coach Bill Belichick that family comes first and if (Sherman) is faced with that decision, well support him.He has an opportunity to face a big decision and whenever our players have a personal, family issue that comes up its always about family first and they can decide what is best for them and I support that, Carroll said. However he goes with that, if hes faced with that decision well support him and well see how that goes.Carroll also added, I cant wait to see little Petey.Sherman said on Thursday that the baby — a boy — isnt due for a couple of weeks and he was going to do his father a favour, and wait to be born until after the game. In an interview with KING-TV in Seattle, Shermans girlfriend, Ashley Moss, said, I told him to play the game.Carrolls comment regarding Sherman was the biggest news to come out of the final media availability with the coaches as both were extremely complementary of the other. Carroll was clearly the more talkative of the two, although Belichick added quips through the 34-minute availability.I think everyone knows how much respect I have for Seattle and Pete and the job that they do, Belichick said. I dont think fun is the word that Id use. Its been a huge challenge. Its a tough team to prepare for, but I certainly have all the respect in the world for them. I could see why they were champions last year and why they are here again this year. They do so many things well on so many levels.The pair also spoke glowingly of their owners — Paul Allen for the Seahawks and Robert Kraft for the Patriots — and the support they have provided to both franchises and their intertwined pasts. Carroll was the coach in New England before being fired by Kraft and replaced by Belichick.The passion that he brings, hes there on a pretty regular basis with the team, with the players, with the coaches, with the staff, Belichick said of Kraft. Hes an integral part of everything that we do. We have a great relationship.Carroll said the preparations for the week had a very similar feel to last year in New York prior to the Seahawks victory over Denver.The process that we go through is very much the same. What changes is the team that youre playing and the challenges they present, which are extraordinary, Carroll said. We really do have a process and a way we go through it and a mentality and feel like weve come through it now and were wrapping it up and its gone the way we like it to.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Dave Robinson Youth Jersey . -- For one night, Nick Calathes provided a big reason to believe the Memphis Grizzlies might be able to withstand the loss of Mike Conley on a short-term basis.
