And always, he had an opinion. I was down at Seahawk headquarters Monday when I was called to the phone. My boss told me the sad news about Will. I didn't think about it until I got back to the office, but Will had covered Jim Zorn, one of the new Seattle coaches, when he played for the Seahawks. I called Zorn and left a message for him to call me.
Athletes meet so many writers and remember so few.
Zorn returned my call 20 minutes later. He wore glasses, he was thin, he had graying hair and he was a nice man. And then he named two or three other writers who had also covered the Hawks at that time. They were just like us players. This was a whole new adventure for them as pro football writers.
