Clay Bennett and Greg Nickels talked today, and the upshot is that--a year and a day after buying the team, and only a few months after saying he was moving--Bennett wants to reopen talks about staying in Key Arena. So says Jim Brunner of the Seattle Times.
Report: Bennett Wants To Come Back, Didn't Mean All That Stuff He Said, C'mon Baby, Don't Be This Way
Mariners/Indians Postponed Again
Yet another postponement, and the new plan is to try to play a doubleheader on Monday, beginning at 10:05 am PST. The M's have a day game in Boston on Tuesday, so this would mean they'd play 3 games in about 28 hours. Not good.
Steve Nash Knows, and Gilbert Arenas Will Soon Learn the Power of Brandon Roy
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 All-Time "We'll Take It!" Moments in Seattle Sports History
Sometimes you earn a win, and sometimes the other team gives you one. Here are the all-time screw-ups by opponents that helped Seattle teams win big games.
All the News
Seattle's the most well-educated city in the country, says the AP. 51% of Seattle residents graduated college, more than any other U.S. urbanoland. And yet we built two giant sports stadia right next to each other! Go figure.
Look Who's Riding the Pine
There is no doubt that the Seattle Storm's Lauren Jackson is among the top five female basketball players of all-time. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate.
Sonics' Season Ends
Ray Allen's desperation three point try at the end of last night's game looked on target as it arced toward the basket with the final buzzer sounding.
No Rashard Tonight for Sonics
Sonics' forward Rashard Lewis can't run on his injured toe, and will not play in Game Six of the Sonics' Western Conference semifinals series tonight, the AP reports.
Sonics Tie It Up, Apologies About Eva
With a surprisingly easy 101-89 win last night over San Antonio, the Sonics tied the Western Conference semifinals at 2-2.
Sonics Tonight: Pretty Couple, Ugly Game
The Spurs' Tony Parker is a good-looking, 6-2 23-year-old with a French accent who will make $1.5 million this year. One would expect him to have an attractive girlfriend, and he does--Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria, who portrays Gabrielle (a.k.a. the hot one, although Seattlest thinks she is too skinny) on that popular ABC show.
Sonics' Play Turns Ankles, Stomachs
In the view of Sonics players, excellent three-point-shooting is the team's best chance to beat heavily-favored San Antonio in their best-of-seven Western Conference Semifinal playoff series.
Seattle Soccer Begins This Weekend
When Seahawk Stadium, er, Qwest Field, was erected back in 2002, there was promise of the building hosting more than just football. After seeing Molly Hatchet warm up for Super Bowl XXXIX, Seattlest thought perhaps that Qwest Field might bring the mighty Hatchet to town for a night of unruly southern fried fun. Unfortunately, that will probably never come to fruition. The next best non-Seahawk Qwest field event, however, begins tomorrow when the Seattle A-League soccer team, the Sounders, begin their 2005 season by hosting their I-5 corridor rivals, the Portland Timbers, tomorrow night.
The Best Sports Team In Seattle
Here's a piece of trivia that might win you a pint at the neighborhood bar someday: Who was the first U.S. hockey team to win the Stanley Cup? It was, believe it or not, the Seattle Metropolitans. Our city's short-lived professional hockey team captured the Cup in 1917.
