“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

I love the music business. I have been in the music industry for going on 23 years! A long time producing my urban TV show “Music Inner City TV” here in Seattle, Washington and Western Washington state. I have met and interviewed flat out legends like Chaka Khan, Al Green, George Duke, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Smokey Robinson, Rick James, Ernie Isley, Big Daddy Kane, Leon Huff and even media icon Oprah. But I also love sports.

It is the way I relax. Watching sports on TV. And for 15 years I went to Key Arena here in Seattle and did interviews at shoot-arounds before games of our departed Seattle Sonics. And I have covered our Seattle Mariners for the last five or six years at batting practice. I have interviewed Shaq, Barkley, Dirk, Phil Jackson, Reggie Jackson (two times), Derek Jeter (two times), CeCe Sabathia, Torii Hunter, C-Webb, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, George Karl and on and on.

But for some unknown reason I have never covered our NFL team…the Seattle Seahawks. I just don’t know why. I called and talked to media relations many times but never covered the team. Until now!!

I am very happy to say I covered the home games of the pre-season at Century Link Stadium and it was so much fun. Readers when I cover sports it is not work. It is big time fun!! It was my first time inside of Century Link and my first time in the press room with all the rest of the media. I even met NFL guru John Clayton and snapped a pic (Clayton pic here in the story) and talked to guys from KJR, 710 ESPN, the Fan 1090 and more.

Then after the game I was allowed in the Seahawks locker room and did short interviews with players. A few of them have been cut so I will not show my interviews with cut players. All the players were great to me. And I hope to conduct many more!

By the way I also covered Seahawk training camp in Renton, Washington for two days. Interviews can be seen on “Music Inner City TV” and soon here on “Sports Inner City TV” We just did not discuss football but music too.

I hope and pray I will be allowed to cover the regular season at Century Link for the regular season for the Hawks. I have a audience that for sure KJR, 710, the Fan etc does not reach. Our slogan for “M.I.C-TV” and “S.IC-TV” is “Mixing Music & Sports”  I have done this for almost 23 years readers. O.K. folks….IT IS TIME FOR THE NFL TO KICKOFF IT’S SEASON!! As Russell Wilson says at the end of almost every interview….GO HAWKS!!!!!
