This musical mash-up of memorable sports press conferences is awesome, and we're happy to have a flimsy excuse to post it--it contains a clip of former UW assistant (and father of current Seahawks coach) Jim Mora's famed "Playoffs?" riff. Enjoy.

GODDAMN STRAIGHT! Do you think the fans come out to see goals? NO! They want to see defenders cowardly hammering the ball deep into the stands! And then, more likely that not, collapsing as if they have suffered an Endy-Chavez-like knee injury. Kasey Keller is such a defense-oriented hard-ass, he can't even enjoy his own teammate's goal.

The Seattle Seahawks have the fourth overall pick in Saturday's 2009 NFL draft, and we can only hope they do better than the Chicago Bears did with the first overall pick in NFL draft history: The Bears' selection, running back Jay Berwanger, eschewed pro football for a job as a foam-rubber salesman. (Don't knock it: These were the halcyon days of foam-rubber sales. Think Mad Men, but with even more dames and broads.)

On KJR-AM this morning, departing Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren told interviewer Mitch Levy that in the past year, he had changed his mind in regard to his upcoming retirement, and that his overtures to delay his retirement for at least another year were rebuffed by Seahawks management. Holmgren specifically cited former Packer Green Bay Packer QB Brett Favre who had decided to return to football after announcing his retirement, saying "sometimes we change our minds." Holmgren also admitted that this season's woes will most certainly increase the likelihood that he'll return to coaching. Said commentator Hugh Millen afterward: "It is pretty clear that he's been pushed out." Shame on you, Tim Ruskell. Update: We imagine Holmgren will be cooking up a healthy dose of revenge very soon. Served in one of these, of course.

We are sitting in front of the TV watching the Issaquah-Skyline 4A championship game, still working on a heaping plate of leftovers from last weekend. (Does turkey have an expiration date?) This game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was moved to accommodate Bellevue, who plays Union in the 3A final. Bellevue played a rescheduled game earlier this week after their bus rolled over on the way to last week's game. Here...grab a plate.

The Seahawks lost 20-17 yesterday to the Redskins and Seattlest concurs with head coach Mike Holmgren's sentiment. He began the post-game presser simply: "Questions?" The Hawks are now 2-9 and the season is over, blah blah blah.

Evidently, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Because his son's teams are geometrically parallel on the plane of defensive craptacularosity.
