He wasn’t “Angry Doug” Baldwin when he exploded on a Seahawks front-office employee along the sidelines last weekend.
No, he was “Empathetic Doug” Baldwin.
That’s what the Pro Bowl wide receiver said Thursday, when I asked him to describe his screaming at Seahawks co-director of player personnel Trent Kirchner during the team’s win over Dallas on Sunday. It happened while Baldwin was in street clothes on the sideline rather than in the game. A national-television audience plus many of the 68,000 people inside CenturyLink Field saw it.
First, context for the comeuppance: Baldwin was out for the second consecutive week with a sprained knee.
