Today Seattlest welcomes our new sports correspondent to the fold. Drew Milam is a longtime Seattle resident who recently returned to the Emerald City after some time in the Bay Area, and claims to be super tight with fellow Santa Clara alum Steve Nash, Brandi Chastain and NFL referee Mike Carey. No word on if he got the gig because he is a Hillary supporter (pleasing Editor Kim) and a Garfield alum (pleasing Seattlest David).

Unlike our beloved baseball All Star Game, we’ve tended to skip the NBA's version in recent years. However, with our hero Brandon Roy, in Sunday's game we can’t wait to watch our fellow ex-Bulldog cram some FANtastic™ action down the East’s face. However, we’ll be in Vancouver--sorry TNT.

One day in the early 90s, then-Husky basketball coach Lynn Nance said to himself, "You know, I'm pretty happy with Prentiss Perkins and Bryant Boston at guard," and declined to offer a scholarship to a young Canadian and UW fan named Steve Nash.

Brandon Roy, the reigning Western Conference Rookie of the Month, is on a roll and slowly making the NBA his own personal league. Don't think that a certain two-time NBA MVP/Victoria, B.C. native hasn't noticed.

The current problem with Seattle sports teams, besides the fact that a giant douche bag let our NBA team leave town, is that we don't have any athletes from British Columbia on our rosters.

Two days later, the horrible officiating in Super Bowl XL (led by Bill Leavy, at right) continues to be a major media story. Our take? Sure, there were some bad calls, but the Hawks would have still won had they played better, coached better, and not had some critical injuries.

Every once in a while, the stars align and a very very kind person in Seattlest's life gives us a wonderful gift: courtside Sonics tix. We decided to bring you, dear reader, along as well...

To get a share of the Pac-10 title for the first time in 20 years, the Husky men likely must sweep the Bay Area schools this weekend, on the road. Game one is tonight, at California. If you watch the game (7:30 PM on Fox Sports Net), look for Cal's Richard Midgley, an English-born point guard in the Steve Nash mold. Midgley came to the U.S. to get better competition--twice in English schoolboy leagues he scored 91 points in a game.
