My journey with this has come to an end. My mom passed this past month. The past year I made the trip twice a month to see my mom in a memory care unit. She was slipping quickly and it was noticeable. I could just see it in her eyes. A doctor warned me that psychotropic drugs were going to...

The return of my annual thread. Did this for years and then got away from it. I still love the draft and plan to keep doing this year after year. Journalists keep saying they're forced to give grades. They know it's a stupid activity. They routinely admit it and proceed to throw down the...

Was it really 45 years ago that I watched my man Buddy Baker win? Dang. Still has the fastest average speed during his win, and the first driver to top 200mph.

If you apply the standard of a reception I don’t thank that gets ruled a catch. There was no football move after the ball got there. It looked like it came loose almost immediately.

Saw that too. Not a catch. That wasn’t an interception.

Reasons for Seattle optimism: The Seattle defense has shown dramatic improvement since the beginning of the season. Everyone has been put on notice. Don’t produce and you’ll get replaced. It has reminded me of the beginning of the Pete Carroll era. Some coaches give it lip service. Others...

Perhaps it was the 8 yards on 7 carries against the "soft" defense?

He beat Tre Brown down the left sideline once on a nice throw, but that was it. The three starting Seattle CBs might contend for the best trio in the league (Witherspoon, Woolen, and Brown). Nix had a rough outing. I would be careful to base an assessment of Nix based largely on the game yesterday.

Valid point on being behind at half. However, Two safeties and a field goal after the interception meant that the defense gave up only 3 points compared to the 7 that the offense handed the Broncos. I thought the defense looked great. They tackled well. Virtually no YAC. Swarmed and were quick...

As a Seattle fan, I was pretty happy with the showing today. Not sure though. Was the Seattle defense great? Or was Nix that pathetically poor? The few times he looked down field and let a ball fly he was pretty bad. If I was a Bronco fan, I wouldn't walk away from that game feeling positive...

This has largely been my experience too. Thanks for the complimentary reply, Bob.

Apologies. It's a funny line from a movie. Not a serious threat and not directed at anyone specifically.

Getting ready to start year 32 teaching math in a smaller high school in Washington state. A few things I think... I love my job. Would do it for less money. My salary went up significantly over the past five years. Students in my district have wildly diverse opportunities. Both academic and...

Seattle Seahawks 2021 1 2 24 56 D'Wayne Eskridge WR Western Michigan 2 4 32 137 Tre Brown DB Oklahoma 3 6 24 208 Stone Forsythe T Florida That's it. Three players. All the other picks went to trades including S Jamal Adams. That's the aspect of these that's hard to account for...

You, sir, are a steely eyed missile man. Thanks for making this happen. I was just checking in to get er up and runnin.
