It's a book that will sit on our bookshelf probably until we die, ready to supply a quick trip down memory lane whenever we desire it.

The clock is ticking, and at 10 a.m. expect office productivity to come to a halt for a few minutes as single game tickets go on sale for the 2009 Seattle Seahawks football season. No field trips to Qwest Field Box Office are necessary, because tickets will only be available at www.seahawks.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. This season brings a slew of Midwest teams westward (Lions and Vikings and Bears, Oh my!), so Midwest transplants, be prepared! There is a maximum purchase of six tickets per game. The Seahawks' first pre-season home game is August 22, against the Denver Broncos.

With the NFL Draft taking place tomorrow Seattlest Seth and David sat down with the Seahawk broadcast team of Jason McDonald and Dusty Warren to discuss what the team should do with the fourth pick.

Jets' defensive end Shaun Ellis was fined ten grand for playfully heaving a giant snowball into the Qwest Field stands after Sunday's game (which the recipients, by their reaction, were totally cool with, by the way). Boling and Hughes at the TNT have their say on the matter, thinking that it was a poor reflection on our city.

The problem with this particular project is that the Seahawks play St. Louis twice a year. After meals of toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake we are left with slingers, St. Paul sandwiches, and the city’s official dish, Crisco covered in fried caramel and broken glass.

On KJR-AM this morning, departing Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren told interviewer Mitch Levy that in the past year, he had changed his mind in regard to his upcoming retirement, and that his overtures to delay his retirement for at least another year were rebuffed by Seahawks management. Holmgren specifically cited former Packer Green Bay Packer QB Brett Favre who had decided to return to football after announcing his retirement, saying "sometimes we change our minds." Holmgren also admitted that this season's woes will most certainly increase the likelihood that he'll return to coaching. Said commentator Hugh Millen afterward: "It is pretty clear that he's been pushed out." Shame on you, Tim Ruskell. Update: We imagine Holmgren will be cooking up a healthy dose of revenge very soon. Served in one of these, of course.

We learned a new word from a recent issue of Wired magazine: popcorning. It's a scientific theory involving "a chain reaction in which the accidental explosion of one nuclear warhead causes others in the vicinity to detonate, releasing lethal radiation for miles in every direction." (We are imagining some hungover crane operator over at the Bangor sub base, hitting this button when she meant to press that one.)

This morning, we were down at the local diner having breakfast and mulling the sports weekend which was as lacking in hope as the plate of runny eggs sitting before us. Huskies lost. Cougars lost. Seahawks lost. Even the Husky hoops team lost.

C'mon Huskies. Seriously. We know what you are thinking.

Guess who's singing the National Anthem prior to Sunday's Seahawks-Cardinals game?

Drat. Three more football games. Three more losses. The Huskies actually looked good before the wheels fell off, losing 39-19 at home to the ASU Sun Devils. The Cougs have shown an ability to score, even if their defense and special teams were non-existent in the 59-28 loss to Arizona. The Seahawks fell to the Miami Dolphins 21-19, continuing the winless streak of West Coast teams traveling to the East Coast this season. TNT beat writer Frank Hughes took advantage of the day off in Miami to report on his visit the country club where Caddyshack was filmed, which helps to salve the wounds of an otherwise bummerish gridiron weekend.

A few years back, we braved a soccer match between two top flight teams in Buenos Aires. A 'super-classico' as they call it. Barbed wire and riot police ringed the field and more than once a cannon was fired. The tension was palpable. Early in the match, the visiting goalkeeper was hit in the head with what the papers later reported was a keychain. Bleeding, the goalkeeper was stitched up on the sidelines and his head was wrapped up Frankenstein style. Later, with the game scoreless, the visiting team was awarded a penalty shot. The coach waved at the goalkeeper, and as the home crowd lost their collective minds, the goalkeeper trotted down, took the shot, scored, then proceeded to jog back to his net, flipping off the crowd the entire length of the field. He spent the rest of the night tucked under his goal, with a big grin, we imagine.
