Who was on the first poster you put up on your wall? Peyton Manning, at my college house. I put him right on the outside of the door to my room.
What is the worst job you've ever had? My Dad had a rule when I graduated from high school that if you lived in the house, you had to work. He works at a printing factory. So I worked there for two days, boxing up crates. I was so stinking sore that I moved, went to college early, and went through their summer workout program just because I didn't want to work there.
Have you ever had a manicure? My sister took me. I didn't want to go, but it was out of the country. We were in the Virgin Islands after the season, and the only reason I went was because we weren't in the U.S. so nobody would know.
What did you buy with your first NFL paycheck? Some stocks. I drove my college car into rookie practice with a big dent in the door. Nobody thought I'd do it and I did it, a '93 Grand Prix. ... My roommate had backed into a telephone pole three weeks before.

Injury roll call: QB Matt Hasselbeck, WR Deion Branch, LS Tyler Schmitt, LB Will Herring, OT William Robinson, OT Sean Locklear, OT Samuel Gutekunst, WR Bobby Engram, DE Chris Cooper, TE Jeb Putzier and DT Larry Tripplett are all not practicing because of injuries. QB Seneca Wallace (groin) returned to practice, and C Chris Spencer (back) continues to be limited.
Back to normal: Camp officially ends today, and Friday the Seahawks will go to one-a-day practices, as they have during the regular season. Next week is a short week, with the San Diego game on Monday and the exhibition finale next Friday at home against Oakland. "We really have one practice day before the Raiders game," coach Mike Holmgren said. "First time that I can remember it was like that." Consequently, Holmgren has used this week to push the players harder in practice and focus harder on some things.
Play of the day: OLB Julian Peterson picked off a Wallace pass for Nate Burleson and ran it back. Then, playfully taunting Burleson, he stopped, turned around, spread his arms wide and flapped in imitation of Burleson's signature "Hawk" touchdown celebration.
Spreading the wealth: Holmgren said he hopes to get the ball to WRs Courtney Taylor and Ben Obomanu more often in the exhibition season. Neither has a catch after two games. "We're going to kind of try and force-feed that just a little bit," Holmgren said.
