Today Seattlest welcomes our new sports correspondent to the fold. Drew Milam is a longtime Seattle resident who recently returned to the Emerald City after some time in the Bay Area, and claims to be super tight with fellow Santa Clara alum Steve Nash, Brandi Chastain and NFL referee Mike Carey. No word on if he got the gig because he is a Hillary supporter (pleasing Editor Kim) and a Garfield alum (pleasing Seattlest David). more ›

Last week we were taking Husky football with a friend who was upset that the University hadn't fired coach Ty Willingham. We mentioned that, though he hadn't won many games, Willingham had restored integrity to the football program. more ›

When we lived in LA we had no problem watching the Huskies play at Pauley Pavilion. We could just get in our car, hop on the 10, and presto, eight hours later we were in the building. more ›

Both the Seattle Times and Fox Sports report he'll sign a five-year extension on Friday. more ›

Seattlest decided to check out the new Tap House Grill yesterday evening. They opened earlier this week in the old Planet Hollywood location right next to Fox Sports Grill, on 6th Ave. between Pike and Pine. more ›

Say this for new Sonics owner Clay Bennett--he knows shitty basketball when he sees it. And he's replacing the men most responsible for bringing it to you, GM Rick Sund and coach Bob Hill. more ›

For our headline, we borrow the words of that magnificent artisan of the English language, Fox Sports Northwest's Brad Adam. Could anyone sum up Felix Hernandez' breathtaking, complete game shutout, no-hit-thru-seven-innings performance last night any better? Probably not, but let's take a look-see. more ›

More snow--today's games are postponed. they'll play a doubleheader on Sunday, and try to make the third game up during an off day later in the season. more ›

Sometimes we feel that we are taking our home town for granted. We probably focus on the lousy weather, the passive aggressive nature of the people, the ineffective local government, and the selfish NIMBYs who ruin everything. more ›

Keeping with today's apparent Seattlest themes of cute little references to the past and Comcast, we'd like to tell you about a complaint we have. Remember that guy a few years ago who refused to get a cell phone and what a pain in the ass it was to hook up with him? "I'll meet you at the North gate at 8 o'clock, or, if I'm not there, at the unintelligable gate at 9:45. And I won't forget the tickets this time." When it comes to digital cable, Seattlest is that guy. more ›

We're going to have to disagree with this assertion by the good folks at subscription site Dawgman.com. They're talking about the PAT block that helped UW beat Fresno State on Saturday. more ›

The World Cup is so over that even the most pretentious Europhiles have finally shut up, but Seattlest has some unfinished business. Before the tournament started we set up something called the Seattlest World Cup Challenge over at ESPN and a bunch of you joined, despite our lack of creative naming skills. Some of you joined and forgot about it, only to get the points a monkey flipping coins would have. We doubt we'll see you at the G&D come the new season. Some of you played along for awhile and then dropped out a little later. You may stop by for an FA final or something and we'll see you then. A brave few stuck it out to the end and are just poor guessers. You guys are probably listening to too many American announcers on Fox Sports World. And then there's the guy that won: Capitol Hill Seattle. more ›

75 minutes in, the Germany vs. Poland match was a draw -- then Poland's Sobolewski, in a snit after being beaten to the ball, tripped up Germany's Klose. Two yellow cards made a red, and Sobolewski was sent off to leave his team short-handed for the remaining 15 minutes. more ›

Does Fox Sports NW have two hiring managers? One who is a brilliant mind, the other an evil genius...or just one with Jekyll and Hyde characteristics? more ›

The Super Bowl is two days away, and it's time to think happy thoughts. Though the Steelers are favored, there are plenty of folks who think the Hawks will win Super Bowl XL. more ›

FOX Sports hired ex-Mariner manager Lou Piniella for a week. He'll join Joe Buck and Tim McCarver in the broadcast booth for the American League Championship Series, presumably to contribute some heterosexuality. more ›

Breaking news late on Wednesday night--after yesterday's news that the Sonics had re-signed Ray Allen to a five-year, $85 million contract, Fox Sports is reporting that Nate McMillan has signed on to coach none other than...the Portland Trailblazers. more ›

Sonics' forward Rashard Lewis can't run on his injured toe, and will not play in Game Six of the Sonics' Western Conference semifinals series tonight, the AP reports. more ›

The Seattle P-I today passes along a rumor that Seattle Prep basketball star and NBA prospect Martell Webster, who has committed to play next year for the University of Washington, signed a contract with an agent. If true, this would disqualify Webster from playing college ball. more ›

Until Saturday, the most memorable moment Jerome James provided as a Sonic was the time he was suspended for falling asleep during a team film session. "I wasn't asleep, I just nodded off," he later said. Or when he was late for practice when he couldn't get his car--a Hummer H2--out of his driveway after a Seattle "snowstorm." more ›

This year the first day of the NCAA tournament occurs on St. Patrick's Day, so if there was ever a time to watch the games in a bar, this is it. Unfortunately, neither the Notre Dame Fighting Irish nor the Tulane Green Wave made the tourney. But our hometown Huskies did. In fact, they are one of the favorites. Their first-round game is today at noon. The tournament's first games begin at 9 am, and several local bars are opening early to accomodate basketball and liquor fans: more ›

A basketball is 9.39 inches across. A basketball hoop is 18 inches across. A perfectly placed shot has very little air on either side of it as it swishes through the rim. Four inches in any direction, and it's a brick. More than a little luck is involved. more ›

To get a share of the Pac-10 title for the first time in 20 years, the Husky men likely must sweep the Bay Area schools this weekend, on the road. Game one is tonight, at California. If you watch the game (7:30 PM on Fox Sports Net), look for Cal's Richard Midgley, an English-born point guard in the Steve Nash mold. Midgley came to the U.S. to get better competition--twice in English schoolboy leagues he scored 91 points in a game. more ›

The Sonics can clinch the Northwest division title with a win tonight against Sacramento. The game is at 7pm and will be televised on Fox Sports Net. more ›
