Thanksgiving is always a time to reflect and, by the restorative powers of gravy, realize that no matter how much we think our life sucks, it actually doesn’t suck all that bad. So in that spirit, we thought it would be appropriate to highlight the things a sports lover in Seattle can still be thankful for. We tried to do a Top 10, but, um, we couldn’t come up with that many. more ›
