Once again, the Rose Bowl awaits someone from
the Pac-10 to step up and earn a berth
in The Grandaddy of Them All. Oregon seemed like a lock after pounding USC, but then got hammered by Stanford. USC could have possibly snuck back in the mix, and they got crushed by the Cardinal. Arizona ...

With the Seahawks’ season basically over thanks to
a sixth loss in nine games, many fans are
calling for the head of general manager Tim Ruskell (pictured, center). They’re also calling for the Seahawks to fire coach Jim Mora after one season, overhaul the defense to a 3-4 scheme, draft a new ...

I suppose it’s apropos that the week after
I take the overall lead from Elliott I’m writing
up the lead-in for this week’s picks. Yep, Elliott went 0-4 in our featured games last week and put up the first sub.-500 record of the season in this here space. Meanwhile, I went 10-5 to take the ...

It’s too bad the Seahawks’ first “healthy” game
since Week 1 came in the most important game
all season, because they’re really just starting to get it together now that Sean Locklear, Marcus Trufant, Leroy Hill, Rob Sims and Matt Hasselbeck are back. With their full complement of starters ...

Well, here it is: the Seahawks’ chance to
make themselves relevant again. It’s no exaggeration: This game
against the Arizona Cardinals is the turning point in Seattle’s season. If the Seahawks avenge their embarrassingly inept 27-3 loss from last month, they will draw a game behind Arizona ...

It’s a two-team race in the watered-down NFC
this season, with Drew Brees leading the surprisingly undefeated
Saints and Brett Favre leading the not-so-surprising Vikings. Forget the Vikings, though. Who isn’t excited about the high-powered Saints, who conjure memories of the Rams’ Greatest ...

In many ways, this year in the AFC
has gone to form. You’ve got traditional powers like
Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and New England on top of their respective divisions. On the other hand, it’s been a surprising season in many ways within the conference, with surprise teams like ...

The standout play of linebacker David Hawthorne in
his first three starts has a lot of people
wondering and/or planning what to do with him next year when Lofa Tatupu is healthy again. Some people think the Seahawks might consider moving to a 3-4 scheme so as to get both Tatupu and Hawthorne ...

There’s been a lot of debate this season
about which NFL team is the worst, and I’m
going to throw my hat in and go with the Cleveland Browns. Say what you want about the putridity (is that a real word?) of the other bad teams, but at least they have one redeeming quality: the ...

It wasn’t all that surprising when the news
came down that Ken Griffey Jr. was going to
be returning to the Mariners for his 22nd season (!) in the bigs – for all the hand-wringing about the Griffey experiment last year, it, much like the rest of the Seattle season, turned out to be ...

Over the past few days, I’ve had a
handful of people ask me whether or not I
thought Notre Dame should or would fire Charlie Weis at the end of the season. I guess now that I’m apparently some sort of Fighting Irish expert, my answer is a resounding no. Don’t get me wrong, ...

The answer to the question, “Was that a
good win for the Seahawks?”, is self-evident. It was
a win, so of course it was good. Now were they good in winning? Well, in the final three quarters they were. Whether they felt sorry for the Detroit Lions or just figured they needed to create ...

For the Seahawks, this is what you might
call a makeup game. As in, it’s their chance
to make up ground they have lost in the NFC West since Week 1. Even with five losses in their last six games, the Seahawks are only two games behind Arizona in the West. If the Seahawks can beat Detroit ...

long years since they last won a World Series, George Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman must be feeling such relief that they finally got something for their $200 million annual investment. ...

For what seems like the sixth week in
a row, Seattle-area viewers will be getting the esteemed
broadcasting duo of Dick Stockton and Charles Davis for the Lions-Seahawks game, clearly establishing them as FOX’s D-team. How demoralizing must it be to be the D-team announcer, constantly ...
