By Brad Morin
When it comes to quarterback news this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll really can't catch a break. Yes, everyone knows about Russell Wilson and his beef with the team's front office. But now, they've got signal-callers getting in trouble over in Florida?
That's indeed the case, as backup quarterback Alex McGough is reportedly being investigated after he got into a fight on St. Patrick's Day. Unreal.
Alex McGough, who is one of two quarterbacks on the Seahawks’ roster behind starter Russell Wilson, is being investigated by police for allegedly punching a man in the face at a bar in Tampa, Florida, on St. Patrick’s Day, according to TMZ Sports.https://t.co/kbKF4mg4NC

Per TMZ, the fight went down after a 24-year-old man named Anthony Albino was speaking to McGough's girlfriend. The QB took offense to it, one thing led to another and he allegedly punched Albino in the face, leaving him with a bloody nose and injured elbow.
Albino is pressing charges and the police over in Tampa are investigating the altercation. This of couse is not good news for McGough and the Seahawks as a whole. We'll see how things end up playing out here.
