We try to stay positive. We really do. But with our local football teams winless this season, Blayne getting bounced off Project Runway and a certifiable jackass poised to head for the White House (again), we've been dealing with a little self-doubt this week. And listening to lots of Pink Floyd.
Football Friday: Artie Fufkin Edition
Seahawks 24, 49ers 0
After September's win over San Francisco, in which the Niners managed only nine first downs, we did a little capsule history over on our all-sports blog of the other times in Seahawk history when they'd held an opponent to less than ten first downs. It had only happened seven times before that game--the September game made it eight--and never twice in once season. Now the Hawks have done it twice in once season to the...

American Football Spectacular: Niner Hope Unlooked-For In 2006
Yesterday some guys from SFist emailed about a bet of some kind they wanted to make. When the Seahawks beat the 'Niners on Thursday night we'd get to post some gloating thing on their site. That was the gist of it. Well, it blew up in our faces, in play-by-play form, no less. Here's SFist Christopher Rogers reporting for Seattlest:
Seahawks Set to Weather Another Storm
There have been three nationally televised Seahawk home games this year, and each time our city has been hit with a wicked weather storm.
National Media Perpetuating Fallacy About Seahawks
It's a telling fact--during 2005, the Seahawks only once faced the 3-4 defense (the one the Steelers use)--against the Cowboys, who stifled the Hawks. We've read it in the Boston Globe, on NFL.com, in the Detroit Free Press. But it's wrong.
