For San Francisco 49ers fans, it is always fun to see people take a few shots at the rival Seattle Seahawks. Today, it was EA Sports that provided a laugh or two.
Kyle Newport of B/R
found this gem from yesterday.
Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is the highest rated running back in Madden 16, an EA Sports product. He has an overall rating of 96 in the game thanks to some ratings like a 99 "Stiff Arm" and 98 "Trucking."
The Seahawks decided to have some fun and tweet at EA Sports asking why the running back didn't get a 99 in both ratings.
EA Sports' reply is priceless.

It's been 7 years since the Seattle Seahawks won their first Super Bowl title. It's been 6 years since Russell Wilson completely blew the Seahawks' chance to win their 2nd Super Bowl title. Yes, Seattle has been a playoff contender for nearly every season since, but it's hard not to acknowledge that the 49ers' neighbors to the north have underachieved since the last time the two teams met in the playoffs.
Seattle once brandished the most dominant defense in the NFL with a peak Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennet, Cliff Avril, KJ Wright and Bobby Wangner. Listing those names gives you a sense of just how formidable and dangerous that unit was. On the other side of the ball, Pete Carroll had a young Russell Wilson at quarterback to create magic with RB
