Stakes
These are the kind of stakes which I have no control over, yet care so deeply about. I’m taking about what’s at stake for the University of Washington Huskies, Seattle Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders this weekend. Let’s start in chronological order. Chris Petersen and his Dawgs endured a tough trip to the desert last weekend. Arizona’s back-up QB, Brandon Dawkins,…

2016 NFL Predictions
The NFL is finally back baby! WOOOOOO! I’m only going to predict place within division, not full record, because I decided to do this last minute (like a dummy) and have the pleasure of attending a friend’s wedding this weekend. I’ll also throw up my AFC & NFC champion picks and a Super Bowl pick. (Hint, I’m going to be…

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.…

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…

Key Seahawks Free Agents
At the time of writing this NFL teams are able to contact and negotiate with agents of players but are not able to sign any player until Wednesday, March 9th at 4 p.m. Eastern. As with all NFL teams, the Seattle Seahawks have their fair share of free agents and will experience some roster turnover. It will be up to Pete…

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. At this point it’s nearly unavoidable. He is almost at the dreaded age of 30, which is when most running backs fall off a production cliff and with the…

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…

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…

Near Perfection
This past weekend was an almost perfect weekend for the Seattle sports scene. It started with the Seattle Seahawks beat down of Santa Clara on Thanksgiving night. Then, on Friday, Gonzaga won the N.I.T. Season Tip-off Championship against St. John’s in the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden. Saturday was the Apple Cup which the University of…

Seahawk Week 8 Thoughts
There is only one adjective which I can use to describe this game; ugly. The first quarter was a nightmare to watch and the offense couldn’t get anything going. I believe they ended the quarter with 17 total yards which is totally unacceptable. For some reason the Seattle Seahawks cannot get off to good starts on the road. This was a…
