Welcome to Seattle, Edgerrin James! The likely Hall-of-Famer is a Seahawk, signed to provide depth at a position that has been unsettled since Shaun Alexander's 2006 collapse.
Seahawks Add Hall-of-Fame Running Back
Football Friday: Popcorn and Apples Edition
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.)
Seahawks (2-7) vs Cooking (Chile Verde)
This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook by preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks' opponent.
Alexander Gone, Safeco Field Next?
Sports fans around the city are saying goodbye to Shaun Alexander. The former NFL MVP was released by the Seahawks following eight seasons.
Great Bet for the Loser
On Saturday we will be in a land where betting on sports is not only legal, they reward you with free drinks for doing so. We'll be placing some money on the Seahawks, with the understanding that if they lose we are out both happiness and money.
Willingham's Head Was Worth $100K To Husky Booster
The Seattle Times breaks the story of just how diseased college sports fans have become. The newspaper got about 1,000 emails that Husky fans sent to University of Washington president Mark Emmert, athletic director Todd Turner, and coach Ty Willingham through a public records request.
Seahawks 35, Redskins 14
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.
Seahawks 30, Deep Dish Pizza 23
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.
Monday Night Football 2Night
Tonight, the nation's hardcore gamblers' eyes will be on Seattle as our fair burgh hosts Monday Night Football.
Hawks Fans Are Watching Lots of Ball Kicking
Lately the Seahawks' offense has been about as offensive as a Bastyr College commencement address.
The End of the Streak
An NFL-record streak ended today with the Seahawks' loss to the Steelers. Shaun Alexander had had a run of at least ten yards in 68 consecutive games.
Worst Football Weekend Ever
As we were ducking out of yet another Garfield blowout loss to Franklin, we joked to our friends, "What if the Huskies and Seahawks lose too! That would sure suck."
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:
Hey Green Bay, Welcome to Our Frozen Tundra
- Tonight: Seahawks vs. Packers, 5:30 pm on ESPN and Channel 11.

Chunky Soup Curse Strikes: Hasselbeck Out For Maybe a Month
Doctors found damage to Matt Hasselbeck's medial-collateral ligament, injured Sunday on what some Hawks say was a dirty hit.
October, Please End
On the last day of September, the Huskies beat Arizona for their third consecutive victory, and the Seahawks were in Chicago, feeling pretty good about inaugurating October against the Bears. Sure, Shaun Alexander was out, but their potent four-receiver attack had rolled over the Giants.
His Foot Still Broken, Will Alexander Convert?
God was evidently too busy granting the prayers of this guy, or perhaps there is no God at all, as Shaun Alexander's foot is still broken.
Jesus Heals Seahawks Running Back
According to Seahawks Insider, Shaun Alexander says his foot doesn't hurt anymore--not after he spent a few days praying about it.
Alexander's Foot Injury Could Cost Him A Month
If you saw any of the Hawks win yesterday, you saw Shaun Alexander hobbling around gingerly. Turns out he's got a broken foot, and he could miss as much as a month.
Some National Publications Care About Seattle
There are some Seattle sports fans who complain that our teams don't get enough national media attention. Yeah, we know it's true, and there are times when it irks us a bit, but we understand. Seriously, have you seen where we are on a map? Ultimately we really don't care because know it doesn't matter.
Shaun Alexander Will Stay With Seahawks
Last night the Seahawks re-signed NFL MVP running back Shaun Alexander to an eight-year, $62 million contract. Alexander gets $15 million of it up front. Goodbye, credit card debt.
Our Sportsball Roundup
Rainier Beach, Seattlest's favorite high school hoops team, got upset in the state quarterfinals last night, by Lynden High. But, really, what chance did they stand against a team that has players with names like Dirk Dallas and Brady Bomber. Dallas had 19 points, Bomber had 15. Is this a high school basketball team or a 30's detective novel?
Wacky Super Bowl Bets
Feeling lucky? The Super Bowl's the time to enlarge your wallet by beating the bookmakers. You can bet on practically anything about the game.
Zoom In On Seahawks Stadium
Google added a couple of zoom levels to their satellite maps two days ago and while we were panning around downtown Seattle trying to spot ourselves we came across Qwest field filled with fans and the away team pinned inside the five. One hundred Seattlest Credits (absolutely no value) to the fanatic who can tell us when this game happened, what the final score was, and how many times Shaun Alexander pointed at heaven. Here's a hint - They're playing in Seahawks Stadium, not Qwest Field.
