After a few weeks off to celebrate the arrival of a snappy new single called "Mind Your Manners", http://youtu.be/DhODYyZVL6Y the announcement of the first new album in four years called "Lightning Bolt", http://pearljam.com/ and a gig at a little club in Chicago, my series of interview shows [...]
In the list of adjectives used to describe Pearl Jam 'pugnacious' wouldn't be near the top. It probably wouldn't be on the list. Maybe it should. Particularly the 'pugnacious' that is defined as "having the appearance of a willing fighter". Because in the case of one group of people Pearl Jam time and time again has [...]
So I'm sitting here in Chicago minding my own business when two things happened involving guys who are both MUCH older than me. First, on our way into town this afternoon through a series of weird coincidences my wife and I emerged from the subway a little over one mile south of our hotel. We realized [...]
The Mighty Marineros went 4 and 2 last week versus a pair of teams that could meet in the World Series. That sound you just heard was a significant portion of Puget Sound sports fans shrugging their collective shoulders and offering up a quiet "so, what?"

That said.... So let me see if I've got this [...]

Ray Allen's late game 3-ball did more than just bail Miami out...it bailed the King out. After three lackluster quarters Lebron James became a different man in the [...]
I love hockey. I first fell for the sport as a kid listening to Chicago Black Hawks games on the radio. Most kids hate going to bed particularly on Sunday night. But as a 10 year old I used to look forward to it. By 8:30 I'd be in bed, radio tuned to WMAQ with play [...]
Naysayers, non-believers, and haters of soccer be damned, the games continued growing grip on Seattle was on display this past weekend. In the span of 72 hours over 94,000 fans streamed through the entries into Century Link Field to watch two matches. Perhaps it's appropriate that the larger of the two crowds came for the hometown Sounders [...]
Prior to the Seattle Mariners game against the Detroit Tigers on April 18th, Gas was honored for his broadcasting career and his tireless community support by being allowed to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Watch this momentous athletic feat.
