It's cool that Drew Carey has been the face of the new Seattle MLS team, appearing at the G&D and showing up in the booth for Monday Night Football to talk about the team's plans in Seattle, but he's kind of a Cleveland guy. Couldn't we get a Seattle name that's about on par with Carey? Like....oh god there is no Seattle name on par with Drew Carey. Long live Seattle guy Drew Carey! And......

Tonight, the nation's hardcore gamblers' eyes will be on Seattle as our fair burgh hosts Monday Night Football. The Hawks' opponent is the San Francisco 49ers, the team that was everyone's trendy pick to be a darkhorse contender in the NFC, with the eminently predictable result that they've started 2-6. Here's how ESPN's The Sports Guy saw it in his season preview:Call it the Winston Wolf "Let's Not Start Sucking Each Other's Popsicles Yet"......

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer's market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs. Note: This weekend we are injured reserve, so trading in the visor and clipboard for......

As it should be, it's quiet this week in Seattle, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do -- especially the closer we get to New Year's Eve. So without further ado, Seattlest's belated gift to you -- some shows: Thursday, December 28 >>> Vicci Martinez, Kym Tuvim, Jonatha King, and Danny Godinez at The Tractor. Singer/songwriter Vicci Martinez is not only an immensely talented artist with impressive stage presence, she's also cute as......

Remember Bo Jackson's run against the Seahawks on Monday Night Football? Well, this one is a lot better.......

Sports: Depending on your particular personality profile, Monday Night Football is either something hideous to run away from as fast as you can through the snow-clogged streets or something to celebrate with giant fleece Seahawks blankets and flasks disguised as binoculars. Or you're from Wisconsin and you're celebrating and running away at the same time. Tickets for tonight's game can be had by rolling the dice outside the stadium just before kickoff or by getting......

- Tonight: Seahawks vs. Packers, 5:30 pm on ESPN and Channel 11. -Thanks to the Rams, a Seahawk win would give them a two game lead in the division. A loss would cause the KJR phone lines to explode. -Quarterbacks Matt Hasselbeck and Brett Favre will play, but Old Man Tobeck's hip is acting up, and he will not. -In Wisconsin they are wondering if Shaun Alexander and former Seahawk turned Packer Ahman Green are......

Photograph of Rick Santorum conceding defeat with his family by Gene J. Puskar/AP The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics? Partying-- that's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one. -Bostonist discussed two big state issues-- what sort of math constitutes a marriage and what kind of alcohol can be sold in most grocery stores.......

--We know the Weekly is cutting its editorial staff, but this is ridiculous. --Tuesday's election through the eyes of a poll watcher. --Tuesday's election through the eyes of a librarian. --Tuesday's election through the eyes of 18 bajillion pundits, via PoP. --We have some very important information concerning this link, unfortunately we are forbidden from ever revealing it. --Not everyone is onboard (ugh) with turning the rail corridor into a recreational bike trail, it seems.......

Remember last week when it was sunny and crystal clear outside? The skies were blue, and we could make out mountain trails on the Cascades. In the evening when the sun set behind the Olympics and Mt. Rainer was glowing in the pink light, we wondered if there was a more beautiful place to live. Well, that image has been replaced by gray skies and insurance claim agents racing around the region. We are getting......

I don't know...how boring is Seahawks training camp? The Seattle P-I implies the answer today--so boring that the paper's reporter filed these two pieces on the same day: A story explaining that football players drink liquid. A story explaining that football players eat food. While the utterly pointless Terrell Owens saga generates torrents of indignation from angry white men, Seahawks camp proceeds peacefully. The only development of any interest was backup quarterback Seneca Wallace's precise......
