We're getting a new Major League Soccer team and everyone either is or should be excited. Drew Carey's walking around town, season tickets are flying off the shelves and the MLS Cup is approaching this weekend. On the field Houston faces New England, but there's sure to be a lot of talk during the broadcast about Seattle, our new team and the interesting ideas that have been associated with it. Unfortunately, no one in Seattle will see that broadcast. KOMO won't be showing it. A reader figured out it wasn't on KOMO's schedule and sent them an email. Here's what he got in return: more ›

If you need to experience an entirely different kind of pride, head over to Buckley, WA (near Enumclaw) for the second day of the annual Buckley Log Show. If you're like us, you won't know what most of the events actually are, but you've no doubt passed these kinds of competitions on ESPN2, as lumberjacks go head to head to slice, chop, and climb.

With a win over Tennessee yesterday, the 31-1 University of Washington women's volleyball team advanced to the national championship game. They play #1 ranked Nebraska Saturday at 3pm. ESPN2 will televise the game live. more ›

While soccer, hockey and a handful of other second-tier sports have been fighting to get themselves into your living room for over a decade, a few activities have managed to make the jump recently. Witness NASCAR, golf, and poker. Poker! It's on the TV nonstop and while some of us are looking forward to the day it gets its own cable channel (thereby getting the hell off ESPN2) others of us are apparently pretty into it. Regardless, it's World Series of Poker time. more ›

If you were in Corvallis, Oregon, right now, and I know you wish you were, you would probably be talking Beaver Baseball. The Oregon State University Baseball team is in the College World Series. more ›
