Only the hardest of dorks will care, but the Seahawks have now lost two offensive coaches to our NFC rivals the Washington Redskins. Former Seahawk quarterbacks coach and long-time quarterback Jim Zorn was named head coach in the other Washington several days ago. Today, the departure of our running backs coach Stump Mitchell to the Redskins was announced. In a strange turn of events, according to The Washington Post, the Seahawks are bringing in......

Frank Hughes of the Tacoma News-Tribune reports that Mike Holmgren will announce whether he's going to remain as Seahawks coach, retire, or what, this afternoon. Over the weekend Hawks assistant coach Jim Mora withdrew his name from consideration for the Washington Redskins coaching job, despite being the 'Skins top candidate. This has led to speculation that Mora withdrew his name because he'd been promised Holmgren was retiring and that he'd get the Hawks job.......

For the second year in a row, a legendary coach has ended his career with a loss at Qwest Field. Last year, it was Bill Parcells who, though he's taken over as a GM in Miami, claims his final game as coach was last year's Cowboys playoff loss at Seattle. This year, it's Joe Gibbs, who resigned this morning, three days after his Redskins lost to the Hawks at Qwest. Other coaching legends who saw......

Not sure we've ever seen a win for which the credit belongs so overwhelmingly to the defense. For most of the game, the Seahawks' defensive line was able to get pressure with only four rushers. By establishing that, they were able to drop guys back into coverage, which led to the two pick sixes. The offense? The special teams? Not so great. But let's enjoy this one for now, shall we? Here's the scene at......

As we write Pioneer Square is alive with the blue and white. The booze is flowing and more than a few Redskins fans are being cursed. The scene outside Tiki Bobs is one of belligerence and enthusiasm. The playoffs are here and the time for the rock solid game plan is now. Keys to victory: A. Blitz their nobody QB Collins often and early. This guy has never played in Qwest Field before, if......

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. On Wednesday we took our special touch friend to see The Kite Runner. She spent......

On Saturday the beloved Seahawks will play the Redskins in the opening round of the NFL Playoffs. Taking up the issue on whether or not the Hawks will lose are author Pauls Toutonghi, marketing genius Jason McDonald, and comedy festival standout Dusty Warren. YES! by Pauls Toutonghi I actually am hopeful that we will win. Please print this. I believe it is a possibility. But -- and this is a significant but -- I do......

The emerging storyline of Sunday's NFC Championship game is whether the Seahawks defense can stop the Panthers' Steve Smith. The buzz about Smith strikes us as familiar--he's a small-statured receiver who is the focal point of his team's offense--a brash, competitive player who runs reverses, breakout screens, and catches long passes. It's just what the undefeated Huskies heard before the 1992 Rose Bowl about Michigan's Heisman Trophy winner, Desmond Howard. Husky corner Dana Hall, we......

As always when leading up to a big playoff game, the local papers are filled with human interest fluff. At the Times, exclusively fluff. Like "Veterans get Hawks in playoff mindset" and "Seahawks battling history as well as Washington." At the P-I, and on some internet sites, a few pieces of actual game analysis managed to sneak past the editors. --Right tackle Sean Locklear has a sore hip, but linebacker D.D. Lewis seems better, according......

4th down and six. Here's the game, folks. Redskins down six and driving with three minutes to play. Two wide to the right. Portis alone in the backfield. This is an absolutley critical 4th down conversion if the Redskins want to stay in this game. Motion on the right... Portis takes the ball and heads that way. It looks like he's going to get around the corner! The Seahawks are all bottled up! Oh......

The Cougar men are for real. They beat the Huskies Saturday night, but it didn't feel like an upset to us. It felt like a pretty good team getting some timely shooting and capitalizing on foul trouble (Brandon Roy's) to beat another pretty good team. The Huskies are 1-2 in Pac-10 play. Not encouraging. But the renaissance of WSU basketball is good for the state. We could have three state teams in the tournament this......

Being a Seattle sports fan on Sunday afternoons used to mean a forced trip to Ikea. We mean, what was the other option, catching the Seahawks on TV? Even as the Seahawks slowly improved the past few years, they were no fun to watch, as they blew games and went on late season losing streaks. It was enough to make us want to smash our brand new Flurkten (which we put together ourselves, thank you......

The game isn't good enough anymore. It's not good enough that on Sunday, in Maryland, 90 of the best athletes on the planet, guys who were the best player in the history of their high school, guys who if you tried to tackle them would run through you like you were a notion, guys who can run faster and jump higher and lift more than anyone you've ever known, will recklessly bash into each other......

It’s not the best time to be a Seattle sports fan right now. Sure the Sonics were able to re-sign Vladimir Radmanovic for the upcoming season. However, we are a bit worried that he turned down six years $42 million in order to be an un-restricted free agent at the end of next season, but right now we will take what we can get. With the Mariners limping towards the end, the Huskies heading towards......
