O’Neil: Seahawks’ priority in NFL Draft has been to toughen up on defense

Accurately predicting who the Seahawks are going to pick is next to impossible. Figuring out what they are doing after the fact, though, is pretty darn straightforward, and this year it's been about defense.

O’Neil: Seahawks’ 1st round actions tell us what they think of this draft class

O’Neil: Portland provides Sonics fans most satisfying end to Thunder season

Danny O'Neil thinks Sonics fans should have a holiday at the end of every Oklahoma City Thunder season, and Damian Lillard's improbable buzzer-beater for the Trail Blazers is certainly cause for celebration.

SEATTLE MARINERS | Apr 12, 2019

O’Neil: Believe them or not, Mariners have had exceedingly rare start

710 ESPN Seattle's Danny O'Neil takes a look back at the records of teams that have started off as hot as the 2019 Seattle Mariners. Turns out their streak is incredibly rare and similar starts have led to success -- but that's not always the case.

O’Neil: What if… the Seattle Mariners are good?

What if the Mariners really are this good? I mean not 12-2 good. That’s ridiculous. That translates to a 138-win season. But what if these Seattle Mariners are a certifiable, bona-fide good team?

O’Neil: Unlikely Russell Wilson will leave Seahawks – but this is what first step would look like

While I'm going to spend the next few minutes bloviating about the possibility that Russell Wilson won't be a Seahawk three years from now, I want to make it clear that I think the possibility is unlikely as opposed to inevitable.

O’Neil: Why Seahawks losing JR Sweezy hurts more than Earl Thomas

Guard J.R. Sweezy isn't the best or most expensive player the Seahawks lost in free agency, but according to 710 ESPN Seattle's Danny O'Neil, his departure hurts Seattle's 2019 season the most.

O’Neil: Is the ‘Super Bowl hangover’ real for the losing team?

Who fares better the season following a Super Bowl appearance: the team that wins the game, and has to spend an offseason dealing with the spoils of success, or the one that loses it? The answer is the team that wins the Super Bowl tends to be better. Barely.
