Ben Obomanu says some Seattle players believe decision to throw was made to get Russell Wilson MVP

Conspiracy theories are fun right?

No matter how silly they may sound, there is something about believing in nefarious circumstances in an otherwise simple situation that captures the imagination.

However, the belief in such theories can be just as strong and real despite what actually occurred. With some members of the Seattle Seahawks, that could be the case in regards to the fateful decision to throw at the goal line at the end of Super Bowl XLIX.

Former Seahawks receiver Ben Obomanu joined Brian Abker of Sports Radio 950 KJR in Seattle on Wednesday and said he’s heard from current players on the team that believe the decision to throw on second-and-goal at the 1-yard line was rooted in a desire by the coaching staff to make Russell Wilson the MVP instead of running back Marshawn Lynch.

This is batsh*t insane, and if the Seachickens are still grousing over this, then this doesn't bode well for 2015.

And the Pacific coast has recently seen an invasion of sea slugs, so I'm going with Sea Slugs.

Although I recall from mid-season Russell Wilson getting sniped at by Seachickens for not being black enough. Hey, discontent in this team is fine with me!
