• Fantasy Football 2016: Mock 1

    You feel the excitement in the air? That’s right! Football is back! While I’ll be rooting on the Seahawks and Huskies this fall, I will also be keeping a close eye on my fantasy football teams. If I’m being honest, 2015 was a down year for me. I finished last or 2nd to last in 3 out of 4 leagues. Let’s just say I hope to improve upon those dreadful…

  • Kevin Durant Free Agency Destinations

    When the 2nd best basketball player on the planet hits the free agent market everyone grabs a ticket and hopes he will grant them a meeting. Kevin Durant, who was originally drafted by my beloved Seattle Supersonics (R.I.P.), has developed into the best offensive player in the world. His unnatural size and length allots him the ability to post up and shoot over virtually any defender thrown at him; he…

  • Seahawks Draft Needs

    With the 26th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft the Seattle Seahawks select…wait, wait, wait, let’s back up just a bit. Going into the off-season John Schneider and Pete Carroll had some important decisions regarding a couple important starters. I identified 3 players who would dictate how Seattle went into free agency and the draft, Jermaine Kearse, Russell Okung and Bruce Irvin. Personally, I thought Seattle would keep Okung and…

  • A Beast Sized Hole

    “Saying goodbye doesn’t mean anything. It’s the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.” –Trey Parker The Seattle Seahawks and Marshawn Lynch are heading towards a divorce.

  • Petersen’s Homecoming

    In a few short hours, the University of Washington Huskies kickoff their 2015 season with a short plane ride to Boise, Idaho. Chris Petersen begins his 2nd year as UW Head Coach, oddly enough, against his former school, Boise State. Petersen notched an astonishing 92-12 during his 8 season at the helm of the Broncos. I vividly remember his upset win in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl over the Adrian Peterson…

  • Young Dawgs

    In the 1st round of the 2015 NFL Draft, 3 University of Washington prospects were taken. This is the most selected in the 1st round ever for UW. In 1995, 2 Dawgs were taken in round 1,  RB Napolean Kauffman (Rd 1, 18th overall) and TE Mark Bruener (Rd 1, 27th overall). 2 Dawgs were also taken in round one of the 1992 Draft, DT Steve Emtman (Rd 1, 1…

  • Preseason Week 1: Denver vs. Seattle

    The Seattle Seahawks lost 22-20 against the Denver Broncos but the final score isn’t what’s important. Week 1 of the preseason is all about getting the feel back and building a solid foundation in which to improve upon.  What is important is for Pete Carroll to highlight the positives but to also shine a light on the negatives and figure out a way to remedy them. First, let’s check out…

  • Thoughts on Super Bowl XLIX: Pregame

    I truly believe this will be one of the best Super Bowl’s ever played. Both teams are so evenly matched which should make for a very interesting game. There are a couple match ups that I will be specifically which could swing the game in favor of one team or the other. 1. Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and Bruce Irvin vs Patriots OL-This might be the most important matchup of…
