Some quick Hawk notes before I head out to today's noon press conference (you can catch the presser live at Seahawks.com): Lisa Gangel announced that the Hawks released long-snapper Derek Rackley, which would move Jared Retkofsky up from the practice squad. Also, Blabbermouth.net is reporting that Queensryche frontman Geoff Tate will perform the national anthem this Sunday at Qwest Field. The game will be aired right here on KING5, on NBC Sunday Night Football. Visit SNF's amped-up site if you get a chance (just turn the volume down, so the boss doesn't freak out).
