GNR Bassist Sounds off on Sorry State of Seattle Sports
The Big Lead — ... Duff McKagan tackles the struggling Seattle sports scene. “Well, my argument would be that now more than ever we NEED a winning team. At least the PROSPECT of a winning team. The Sonics are gone (I will get to that in a moment), the Mariners are in shambles, the Hawks are depleted and Holmgren is leaving, and the Huskies’ football program has shrunk to a mere shadow of the dominance and fear that they used to hold the reins of.” Spelling errors aside, it is a solid read.

GNR’s Duff tackles Seattle sports
SmackCaster SmackBlog — ... Take me down in the Emerald City, which is no sporting paradise. The Mariners are awful. The Seahawks, struggling. The SuperSonics - gone. And Ty Willingham and the Washington Huskies are flat-out tarnished. That is why we need the platinum and gold musings of former Guns n’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan to take on the plight of Seattle sports. Now, if Duff can only help Axl get the band back together with Chinese Democracy slated for a release next month. That would rock. Also, have to love Duff throwing in a Slick Watts riff. ...
