I started this blog in 2007 with a simple goal of finding people who shared my outsized passion for the Seattle Seahawks. Eighteen years later, I made the decision to turn this into my full-time job. A non-negotiable aspect of that decision was to keep charity and giving as a...
The game against the Jets was one of those high variance matchups when the NFL schedule was released. Aaron Rodgers was set to finally play and possibly power what had been a terrible offense to at least respectability while the defense was in the conversation for best in the NFL....
It almost a writer’s obligation to make reference to the bomb cyclone and resulting power outage in the Seattle area when talking about this Seahawks game, so let’s get it all out of our system in the opening paragraph. Reports that Puget Sound Energy has reached out to the Seahawks...
Election season is over, but there is an approval poll that still caught my attention. I occasionally ask people on Twitter to vote on the job performance of the three most important figures in the football organization: the general manager, the head coach, and the quarterback. The results are meant...
The Arizona Cardinals are a joke. They have almost 100 more losses than the nearest NFL franchise, and the 3rd-lowest winning percentage, ahead of only the Jaguars and the Bucs. They have never won a Super Bowl and only appeared in one. It is almost impossible to be this irrelevant...
Seahawks fans have heard for the last 14 years that you cannot win a game in the first quarter. Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks may have won a game on the first possession. You might even argue he won it on the first play. The San Francisco 49ers have dominated the match-up...
The bye week is meant to be rejuvenating. Players get away from the game, heal up, and return to work with vigor. That has seemed to be the case for most players on the Seahawks. One player has yet to make it back. Connor Williams was absent for the second...
One of the most fascinating aspects of the NFL season is watching two teams play each other for the second time. Adjustments are made. Location and field changes. And despite the same two logos appearing on the uniforms, the players wearing them usually have changed. All of these will apply...
News broke that the Seahawks had waived leading tackler Tyrel Dodson on Monday. It is not common for teams to waive their leading tackler partway through a season, especially when there were no disciplinary issues. It is even more uncommon to part ways with both starting inside linebackers within a...
Imagine being offered a delicious meal with the one condition being you had to drink spoiled milk with it. Imagine a great massage from one person while another stabs you with tiny needles. Seahawks fans do not need to imagine this fusion of joy and pain. It flows through us...

My thirteen-year-old legs could not move fast enough. We were climbing the seemingly endless ramps that encircled the Kingdome to reach our seats. The muted gray concrete was in sharp contrast to the crystal blue waters of the Puget Sound and cloudless blue sky that accompanied the hike. Finally reaching...
