Week Around the -ists
Thanks to This Week's Advertisers
We would like to take a moment to thank this week's advertisers on Seattlest.
Seattlest Trivia Wrapup: June 26
Laser Rocket Arms hates it when we call them "the new Husker Don't."
The NFL Draft: Two Days of Game Film on TV
We generally don't get that excited about the NFL Draft. To us it’s all analysis and no action-- and besides the newspaper prints which defensive end we've never heard of went fifth to Tampa Bay.
Is This Man Running the Seahawks?
Bill Simmons (a.k.a. "The Sports Guy") of ESPN isn't impressed with the Seahawks' trade for Deion Branch.
Seahawks get Deion Branch, vow to score
in a game, the Seahawks have finally managed to trade for New England's Deion Branch, a star wideout. He'll fill in nicely opposite Darrell Jackson, and has the ability to be the #1 receiver should Jackson's knee prove (more) troublesome.
Elsewhere in the Ist-a-verse
Celebrate Ben Franklin's 300th birthday with the Bikini Bandits and Phillyist! (NSFW). Speaking of Mr. Franklin, send in a picture of Ben (or Ed Rendell) with a red tongue and win a free t-shirt. And they might have the next YearlyKos in Philly.
Breakfast with the Mariners
It's the earliest first pitch in Mariner history today, as the M's play the annual Patriots Day game in Boston. It's an 11am start in Boston, so 8am here.
The Steelers 3-4 Defense Scares Us
Already riding the Hawks bandwagon? We'll give you two weeks of in-depth *football* coverage to impress your friends on game day. Note: that's *football* coverage, not coverage of which player's dad has an incurable disease or of Tim McGraw's game prediction.
We Just Want an Excuse to Drink
As mentioned in our review of the weeklies, the Seattle Weekly has a sports column this week. And what a strange sports column it is.
Dillon Gets a Ring, America Gets Bored
Seattle is a perfect city to watch the Super Bowl in--the weather is always horrid, so there's no anxiety about spending the entire day inside, and the Seahawks are never playing, so there's no anxiety about the game itself.
