A more dismal Northwest football weekend we can hardly remember. First, on Saturday afternoon--as NYC sportscaster Warner Wolf would say, "If you had Washington State and 45 points, you lost!" Oregon beat the Cougs 53-7, and the game wasn't as close as the final score indicates. The Cougs were down 40-0 at halftime. We flipped on the post-game show to hear the Cougs' radio team explaining why it's hard to recruit top athletes to Pullman.......

(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.) Sunday's NFC West showdown in San Francisco leads to many culinary possibilities. The best burritos......

In April we asked our Bay Area sports correspondent Bob Arkansas to preview the AL West, now he's back to give his thought on Sunday's NFC Showdown. Greetings my soggy friends in the Northwest Province! The last time I wrote something for the Seattlest it was a season preview for the Mariners and pretty much every prediction that I made was wrong. These brilliant insights included the Mariners losing more games than they'd win, finishing......

10. Mariners vs Yankees (August 22): The Yankees kept taking the lead and the Mariners kept coming back. In the ninth, with the score tied 5-5, A-Rod came up with a clutch bases loaded strike out. Later that inning Adrian Beltre won the game on a walk off home run. 9. Seahawks vs Green Bay (November 27): The field was covered in snow, Alexander ran for over 200 yards, Hasselbeck over came a slow start......

When Dennis Green's Cardinals beat San Francisco on Sunday it gave the Seahawks the NFC West title, and with it a back door entrance into the playoffs. We would just like to take a moment to thank the Cardinals’ players and coaches for giving all Seahawk fans an early Christmas present. The title means that the blue and neon green will host either the Cowboys or the Eagles on the 6th or 7th. The Hawks......

The Hawks lost their third consecutive game today, but won their third consecutive NFC West title when Arizona beat San Francisco. The Hawks will host a wild card playoff game on January 6th or 7th at Qwest Field.......

With the Seahawk football beginning on Sunday, there is simply not a better time to look at the upcoming season than right now, sorry nnnnnnnnnnow. Following last season's exploits, we are extremely optimistic about this year. The navy blue, other kind of lighter blue, and green return a very strong team in a very bad division. Yet, we are finding it hard to get over the departure of Steve Hutchinson. We have nightmares of Hasselbeck......

There's not much to say about last night's Seahawks game. The score (42-0) says it all. So, unlike the P-I's Jim Moore, we will not bore you with hackneyed, purposeless bellyaching. Instead, why not look at a listing of vintage Pontiac Firebirds for sale on ebay. Cool, huh? The Hawks have the best record in the NFC at 10-2, they've clinched the NFC West division title, and play feeble San Francisco next week. The last......

The Husky football team, helped by a Hail Mary touchdown pass to end the second half, became the first state school to win a Pac-10 game this season, beating Arizona 38-14. The Dawgs host the Apple Cup next Saturday. The Seahawks put a death lock on the NFC West, beating division rival St. Louis for the second time this season. Shawn Alexander scored three touchdowns, the last capping a five-and-a-half minute fourth quarter drive that......

The National Football League released the Seahawks 2005 schedule yesterday, and it is not a pretty sight. There are several things about the NFL that annoy us. Instant replay is one. The culturally anachronistic ban on end zone celebrations is another. But the most aggravating thing about the league is the way that they create each team’s schedule. An NFL team that finishes first in their division will play other first place teams. Second......
