The Interbay QFC isn’t going to sit back and watch Tom Selleck’s legacy as a crime-fighting, moustache-sporting sex god fade into obscurity. Paying curious homage to the macho man’s distinguished legacy is a DVD rack shoppers must pass en route to the "10 Items or Less" check-out that isn’t so much a collection of movies as it is a celebration of every movie Tom graced outside his tenure as former Navy Seal Thomas Magnum.......

The only team more dominant in the 2008 NCAA Tournament than the Washington State Cougars has been the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Tar Heels averaged 110.5 points in their two games, while the Cougars’ 66 points per game is just as impressive, considering their margin of victory (25.5 in their wins over Winthrop and Notre Dame). That 40-odd point difference is the key focal point of the match-up between the East Region’s No.......

The brackets are set for the men's NCAA Tournament--expect productivity at work to continue on a downward spiral as the week goes on. Carve out a couple hours in your schedule in the next three days to research and fill out your brackets for your office pool. Rick Neuheisel knows what we’re talking about. Or, you could select your winners based on mascots, school colors, or blind guessing. Those always seem to work for......

We just read Melanie McFarland's farewell column and we're a little choked up. It's good news for her -- she's off to become a TV editor at IMDB. But we're out a reviewer who likes all the right shows for all the right reasons. McFarland's that rare breed of critic who has high standards and knows when to check them at the door. She won a place in our hearts forever with her reviews of......

We've held off on this post for two reasons, mainly: 1. It's about Los Angeles dykes, which are a creature absolutely alien to our hipster, jeans-and-hat-wearing local girls. You know, the ones who watch sports and play scrabble at the Rose. In other words, we wondered if it wasn't of enough local interest. But who are we kidding? We all secretly want to see women that look like Jennifer Beals walk into G4G. (She......

Unbeknownst to us, producers of CBS's glossy detective series, Cold Case have been using all sorts of pop music from Toby Keith to The Postal Service to elevate the cool factor of each episode. Their website even has a page listing the "Music of Cold Case" -- some episodes of which showcase a single recording artist (such as the 2/18/07 "Blood on the Tracks" episode featuring music from Bob Dylan). So there we were, watching......

Sanjaya, Schmanjaya. There are other Seattle-area residents on reality shows this season. And at least one of them has reached her show's final episode and is in contention for the grand prize: Puyallup's own Miss California, Dustin-Leigh Seltzer (nee Konzelman) on Amazing Race All-Stars. Dustin and her racing partner Kandice (Dustin's the blonde...with the nice teeth...the one who doesn't kinda sorta resemble Maggie Gyllenhaal) achieved All-Stardom by coming in fourth place last season on......

With the Dawgs and Cougs out of the running, we're bummed that we won't get to watch a late-round tourney game in a bar packed with partisans who cheer with every shot. But we can replicate it, thanks to transplanted Kansas and Ohio State fans who are gathering tonight for their schools' respective 3rd-round games. Kansas fans--including some very attractive girls (who knew?)--met in Spitfire's back room for the first round game last Friday, and......

One first round NCAA matchup is #2-seed UCLA against #15-seed Weber State--both teams that the Huskies beat! They beat UCLA, by 10, in the final game of the regular season last Saturday. Weber State the Dawgs beat by 29, pushing their record to 10-1, on December 23rd. The Dawgs moved up to #13 in the next coaches poll, then they lost three Pac-10 games in a row, and, well, let's just not talk about it.......

As the NBA's 10th worst team, the Sonics had about a 1/25 chance of getting one of the top three picks, and about a 9/10 chance of getting the 10th pick. They did not pick up an ace "on the river" however (if you have been unemployed in the past year you will know what this means), and so the tenth pick is theirs. This is a weak draft, and there's a reason for......

Sunday afternoon the Washington Huskies basketball team acted like they had been there before. CBS cameras captured the team politely reacting to the announcement that they had made the NCAA Tournament as a five seed. Two years ago there was much excitement after the team rallied from a 0-5 start in conference play to make the field of 65. Last year everyone went, understandably, bat-shit insane when it was announced that the Huskies had captured......

As always when leading up to a big playoff game, the local papers are filled with human interest fluff. At the Times, exclusively fluff. Like "Veterans get Hawks in playoff mindset" and "Seahawks battling history as well as Washington." At the P-I, and on some internet sites, a few pieces of actual game analysis managed to sneak past the editors. --Right tackle Sean Locklear has a sore hip, but linebacker D.D. Lewis seems better, according......

The Seahawks are 6-2. Happy times! Let's let visions of Super Bowl rings and Gatorade showers dance through our heads. Not so fast, say the killjoys at the Seattle Times: The Seahawks were 6-2 in 2003 before going 4-4 to end the season and losing a road game in the first round of the playoffs. They were 5-3 last year before going 4-4 in the second half. Seattle clinched the division on the final day......

CBS News (and Seattlest's mom) are reporting that a man was shot this afternoon at the Federal Courthouse. The man allegedly approached the security checkpoint holding a grenade in his hand and carrying a backpack. After making threats, the man was shot by police and federal agents. They were not allowing firefighters to treat the man, whose condition remained unknown, until the contents of the backpack were checked out by the bomb squad. Not......

Sounding more like a person leaving an unsatifying relationship than a football player joining a new team, former Seahawks DE Chike Okeafor specified why he chose to sign with the Arizona Cardinals in a press conference quoted in Thursday's P-I. "Over there (in Seattle) on a day-to-day basis I felt alone, not surrounded by enough people that thought like me, felt like me, played like me on a day-to-day basis and love the game......
