RENTON, Wash. - During a long weekend of rest, the Seattle Seahawks got the help they needed to take control of their own fate in the NFC West race.And to top it off, coach Pete Carroll added a lighthearted quip at the expense of the rival 49ers.Following the Seahawks dominating 19-3 win over San Francisco on Thanksgiving that improved Seattle to 8-4, 49ers CEO Jed York tweeted an apology to fans saying, This performance wasnt acceptable.When asked what his reaction would be if Seattle owner Paul Allen ever tweeted a similar message after a game, Carroll grinned.Our owner would never do that, Carroll said tongue-in-cheek.And once the chuckling subsided, Carroll added, I would never comment on that.The atmosphere around the Seahawks has changed in a short time. When Seattle returned from its 24-20 loss at Kansas City in Week 11, the Seahawks were 6-4, three games out of first place in the NFC West and about to begin a rugged five-day stretch facing division foes Arizona and San Francisco. They were on the cusp of falling out of the division race and potentially the playoff picture.Two weeks later, the Seahawks are in playoff position and, more importantly, control their own destiny in the division thanks to Arizonas loss on Sunday at Atlanta. If Seattle wins its final four games — beginning Sunday at Philadelphia — it wins the division.One of the things that you love in competition is that you control your own future, Carroll said. We have an opportunity to do that and we have to do that one day at a time.Seattle has improved as its defence has gotten back to the 2013 form that made the Seahawks the best in the NFL. Seattle limited Arizona to 204 yards of offence and was even more impressive against the 49ers. Colin Kaepernick threw two interceptions to Richard Sherman and San Francisco was limited to 164 total yards — the ninth time since Carrolls arrival in 2010 that the Seahawks have held an opponent under 200 yards.Seattle is 18-1 in regular-season and playoff games under Carroll when holding its opponent to less than 250 total yards. The Seahawks have allowed one touchdown in the past 10 quarters.The players have just rallied to find their best. I think the ascending health, weve been getting stronger, and they feel better, Carroll said. The corners have come back to play, Bobby (Wagner) has come back to play, Kam (Chancellor) has come back, it just seems like thats all added to it. But I think theyve really rallied and (defensive co-ordinator) Dan (Quinn) has done a great job and the coaches have done a great job on the defensive side to keep guys growing and not get to the point where you get frustrated and where it starts to work against you.The Seahawks will still likely be without centre Max Unger when they travel to Philadelphia. Unger missed the past two games with ankle and knee injuries, but Carroll said the target was for him to start practicing next week prior to Seattle hosting San Francisco. The Seahawks are also unsure if backup tight end Cooper Helfet will be able to go after spraining his ankle against Arizona.NOTES: Seattle waived DB Loucheiz Purifoy on Monday after he failed his physical. Purifoy was signed on Friday following his release by Indianapolis. ... LB Kevin Pierre-Louis, who was placed on injured reserve last week, will have surgery to repair a damaged labrum in his shoulder.

It was a move of some time in the making. “He hasnt thrown well, clearly some guys are being used more than him right now and the only way to get out of this funk is to pitch,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos.

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.LOUDON, N.H. -- Brad Keselowski will start the second race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship the way he ended the first one -- out front. Keselowski turned a track-record lap of 140.598 mph Friday to win the pole at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Keselowski is coming off consecutive victories at Richmond and the Chase for the Sprint Cup opener last week at Chicagoland. He swept the Cup and Nationwide races at New Hampshire in July. The Team Penske driver has five poles this season and leads the series with five victories. He has eight poles in 189 career Sprint Cup starts. "This kind of track is kind of right in my wheelhouse, right in our teams wheelhouse," Keselowski said. "We had this race circled before the Chase started and we felt decent about Chicago, but really felt like this was a race of emphasis for us to get a win and get out of the first bracket." Jamie McMurray, a non-Chase driver, was second. Chase drivers took the next seven spots. Kevin Harvick was third, followed by Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman. Chase drivers Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jeff Gordon took 11th to 13th. Kurt Busch is 15th, Matt Kenseth 16th and Kasey Kahne 17th. Aric Almirol starts 22nd and Greg Biffle had the worst qualifying effort of any Chase driver and will start 26th. Tony Stewart will start 28th in the No. 14 Chevrolet, his second-worst qualifying run of the season. Stewart was in the car for the first time since he learned a grand jury will decide his fate in the fatal sprint car crash in upstate New York. Kyle Larson was 10th and was the fastest qualifying rookie. "I dont think anybody has anything for Brad right now," Larson said. &"Its pretty amazing how fast he is everywhere we go.dddddddddddd." Larson finished third at Chicagoland and one of NASCARs top rookies still believed he could finish the season with his first career Sprint Cup win. Many of NASCARs elite drivers, from Jeff Gordon to Tony Stewart, have long been wowed by the natural speed, talent and versatility flashed by the 22-year-old Larson. Gordon even came over to Larson last week moment after the race ended to offer some advice on restarts. Gordon -- and so many others -- believe Larson will win soon. Especially Larson. "Yeah, every race I will sit in the motorhome and watch TV and flip to Twitter. Everybody always says this is your weekend," Larson said. "I believe them, but it kind of sucks when you dont win. But I definitely feel like we are really close. We have been close a couple of times this year." Keselowski is trying to become the first driver to repeat at New Hampshire since Kurt Busch in 2004 and would end a streak of 13 different winners in the last 13 races at NHMS. Keselowski has four (Phoenix, Dover, Kentucky) of the 19 track records set this season. Keselowskis win in the Chase opener guaranteed him a spot in the next round of the Chase. Under NASCARs elimination format, four drivers will be knocked out after every third race. Keselowski is the top seed in the 16-driver field. Keselowski might be the No. 1 seed, but he knows an upset can always rattle the bracket. "Its positive momentum," he said, "but when it resets it resets and nothing that youve done in the past really matters as long as youre eligible for the bracket. Im a long, long ways from using the word favourite or feeling overly confident."
