The second episode of Earl Thomas’ brand new Area 29 web series takes you inside Earl’s dream home and features Earl talking before heading off to Seattle Seahawks training camp about last season’s magical championship run and what drives him.
Episode 2 begins with a brief MTV Cribs-style tour of ET III’s house—a property he’s had his eye on since he was just four years old. After talking style, creativity and tranquility, Earl goes down to his office in his house and outlines what the Seattle Seahawks did during their Super Bowl XLVIII championship run, and how they turned their past failures into successes.
Finally, Earl talks family, the “III” on the back of his jersey and clashing with his brother Seth growing up, before giving a quick preview of the mindset of himself and his team going into next season.
“We are willing to go further than anybody. I want my light to shine so bright, that they’re going to miss me when I’m done playing…They’re going to say…’His playing style was timeless, he could have played in any generation, and damn he was a hell of a guy off the field.'”

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR SEATTLE. THANK YOU FOR THE SACRIFICES YOU MAKE TO PUT TEAM BEFORE SELF. YOU ARE THE CHAMP.
What a privilege. The Best FS in the business. Thank You for all you’ve done, and continue to do for me, Champ. You don’t know it, but you help save my life, literally. I Love You, Earl Thomas III, World Champion. Always will.
Thanks for that piece. If you could understand what a deep feeling of pride and gratitude the folks of the Northwest have in winning; and not just winning any old way, but winning behind guys we know are fighting, fighting to represent the best in the sport, fighting for the 12’s, fighting to keep the joy and brotherhood alive inside the money money machine of the NFL, you would be able to keep that feeling of “champ” inside forever. We’re a little outside the box out here in Seattle, but we know the gems that we are, and its just so much fun to have a whole buncha guys on our team that all feel like the best big and little brothers in the whole wide world. Let’s take it to em again in 2014, and show them what we’re made of and the true meaning of champions – on and off the field. And I promise to keep the love even when you don’t win, because I know it hurts you even more than us. And your hopeless infatuation with your little girl is so cute, too. Go 29 – go Hawks.
Seahawk 24/7…love it! Thanks Champ!
What a great perspective Earl shared. Such a real, down to Earth, man with a true meaning to the career of football. Well beyond the dollar signs the brotherhood they share on and off the field. On top of that a tranquil/Zen seeker for peace of mind. Brilliant and GO HAWKS!
Your the man Earl. Love your movie. Keep us #1. One game at a time. Cheers!
I love your enthusiasm, Earl! I love that someone like you comes from my hometown. 🙂
Hope y’all decorate big for Christmas like the previous owners did. That’s a great house! You deserve it! Glory to God.
Man I love me some ETIII!!!! You literally embody everything that I love about the Hawks. You truly are a role model and I’m proud to be a Hawks fan and a 12th man. GO HAWKS!!!
Thank you for being such a roll model both on and off the field! You will one day be remembered as on of the great ones, your dedication and love of the game doesn’t go unnoticed. Stay grounded, play hard, and thank you for all your hard work. We are a truly dedicated SEAHAWK family (we named our bulldog Sweet Walter Jones after the GREAT #71 Walter Jones)
Earl it’s time to go on that title defense buddy!!! Your family and you have done some amazing things in your community. You being the leader of a dominating defense and helping to bring a lifelong dream of a championship will be something that I will de forever thankful for! Thanks for all you do on the field and off and I can’t wait for another exciting year! GO HAWKS
It’s great to see how far you have come fam. Coming from Orange myself I can understand the pitfalls one can get caught up in. Debbie and Earl raised two good cool young men. Good luck on the season and I’m coming through to see the game vs Cowboys in Oct. Be safe God bless you and Seth. 409 for Life.
