I was sitting in an ice cream shop with my wife and mother-in-law in Cincinnati when I first heard the news that Don James had resigned as head football coach at the University of Washington. Difficult though it may be to fathom for some of you, all the way back in 1993 with no internet and [...]
These are confusing, conflicting, and concerning times for Seattle sports fans and politicians. The news that Seattle basketball savior Chris Hansen secretly donated $100,000 to a Sacramento group which opposed building an arena to keep the Kings in California seems to fall somewhere between troubling and deal breaking for most observers. This is, without question, a [...]
At approximately 3:45 Tuesday afternoon Big Bertha began her 1.7 mile 14 month journey digging a tunnel under our fair town in which, presumably, Highway 99 will someday live. Here's a shot of our gal ready to go to work. Wow...she's a looker! I hope I speak for everyone when [...]

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?" It's that familiar time of the season for M's fans [...]
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 [...]
