Welcome. Here, lovingly crafted for your enjoyment (or dismissal), I present my blue mood towards my favorite sports teams. This also is a tell-tale sign that the end of 2011 is nigh, and I could be writing a bunch of end-of-year reviews. Or something. May be time for you to go on vacation. I am. 2011 was a blue year. Very blue [...]

Boy, is it sure arctic cold outside! My dog has become a wiener popsicle. It’s been hovering below the 20′s (Farenheit of course) here in DC the past few days, although today it is a balmy 37° F. In honor of this bitter and pointless cold, what I am reliant on to survive? Indeed, read: …piping hot mochas [...]

Welcome to, what has apparently become, my annual wrap-up on my favorite sports teams. I am a victim of routine, so expect to be liberally doused with many end of year lists over the next few weeks. 2010 can be categorized as ‘another’ year for Seattle sports. No riot-in-the-streets championships (although one oh-ok-here’s-a-high-five championship). No plane crashes [...]

Here are a few ideas: Blizzard Bowl ’08 As the New York Jets battled the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field, an epic blizzard waged war on the fans. We were able to fight back by throwing snowballs at each [...]
2008: The Worst Year Ever
Posted in Sports, tagged Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Washington Huskies on November 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As a long-suffering Seattle sports fan, I can say without hesitation or debate that 2008 was the worst year in history for Seattle sports. Let’s look at the performance of the professional and collegiate teams that get the most interest in Seattle: Seattle SuperSonics (NBA – basketball) With a record of 20-62, the 2007-08 season [...]
