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 [...]

Wow, we’re in for some exciting college football bowl games this year! How about the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl pitting unimpressive UCLA (6-7) vs. Illinois (6-6)? Top notch! Or how about the BBVA Compass Bowl where surly SME (7-5) will clash against powerful Pittsburgh (6-6)? Not impressed? Surely the badass Beef ‘O’ Brady Bowl tilt between fiesty [...]

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 [...]

Last year I shat out a blog about the complete ineptitude of Seattle sports teams (see 2008: The Worst Year Ever). It came out sideways and it hurt.

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 [...]
