Seattle Sports...

Man, what can I say? Recession, depression, challenged...the state of Seattle sports is flat out awful right now!

Lets start with this city's gem, the Seattle Seahawks. Season after season, we've shown that we are the powerhouse to beat in the NFC West, the model of consistency when it comes to winning your division. Not so this year as we currently sit at 1-5 and are dead last in the NFC West. Only Cincy and Detroit have worse records as both teams are still winless, and we share the uno win title with KC, who's defense looks like it couldn't stop a Division II team.

Yes, the Seahawks have been unfortunate with injuries, but overall this team is not playing well and often times looks out of sorts on the field. Maybe it's time for this town to have a bad year so that the fair weather fans can learn to love this team no matter what. Maybe it's time to start "rebuilding" and plugging some of the holes we have on both sides of the ball, especially the O-Line, D-Line, and Cornerback spots. Possibly even bring in a QB draft pick, an heir-apparent to big Matt, to learn and study under Matt as he closes out his career over the next several seasons. Shoot, I'm not throwing the towel in, but damn a top 10 draft pick ain't looking so bad at this point!! Win or lose though, they are still my squad and you'll find me cheering them on Sunday after Sunday. I still believe this team can be 10-6, an uphill battle from here on out, but not impossible if the team starts to play like they are able to.

Next up, the Huskies......WOW! Coach Willingham, you gave it a good run, but now it's time for you to hit the door. 0-6 and showing no progress is a sure sign that the program needs an overhaul. UW needs a coach that can work with the AD to bring new life to this proud program, that in recent years has forgotten where it came from. I attended the Oklahoma game this season, and that smashing really showed me how far we've fallen from the level this program once stood as a Pac-10 powerhouse and top-tier place for athletes to come play. National titles, and Rose Bowl victories, it's hard to feel any of that these days. The only solace a Dawg has is the fact that the Cougs are quite possibly the worst team in all of Division I, giving up 60+ spots almost on a weekly basis! Apple Cup is going to be a battle of straight pride, as it looks like it will be the two bottom dwellers of the Pac-10 duking it out for bragging rights. Lane Kiffin, Chip Kelly, Jim Mora?? Who knows what we will see happen at the end of the season, but for now lets cheer on Ty as he tries to bring some pride back to this season. GO DAWGS!

Mariners: So bad that I don't even want to spend the time writing about them. A team that basically has stated it will rebuild and not even attempt to be competitive, BS!!!! 116 wins, Sodo Mojo, Refuse to Lose, all currently lost and put in a box somewhere, waiting for the next run.

Sonics...F%&K Clay Bennett and his minions for taking away our team!!!!!!!!! Oklahoma City Thunder sounds lame and more like a rec league team name. Not even GP wants his jersey retired in Oklahoma City, props to him for helping push the movement for Seattle to get another team where his jersey can be retired proper like! Oh, and the answer to the question people have been asking me, HECK NO will I become a Blazers fan now, screw Portland...but Brandon Roy is the man! WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Seattle Sounders FC: I'm hoping they are money!

On top of all the sports misery we are going through, Seattle loses Safeco and WaMu, will the bleeding stop?!?!?! PLEASE!!!!

L.T. and Polamalu, "FATE," I love this ad...

Anberlin and T.I.

Two CDs to scoop this week, 'Paper Trail' from T.I., which is stacked with bangers and the new CD from my homie Christian's band, Anberlin.

'Paper Trail' is filled with great beats, classic T.I. lines, and a slew of guests. He has a track with Rihanna that is dope, and also another track with Justin Timberlake that is pretty good. Of course there is the hit, 'Swagga Like Us' with Jay-Z, Kanye, and Lil' Wayne. He's obviously marketing more towards the masses with this CD, but I am sure that most true T.I. fans won't be too disappointed with this. Instant classic is 'Paper Trail' so go buy it!

Anberlin's new CD is called 'New Surrender' and I can't stop listening to it today, it's awesome. They were on Jimmy Kimmel a few nights ago and killed it. If you haven't heard them yet, go out and buy the CD now, guarantee you will like it! Plus you'll be able to say you liked them before they blew up like they are about to do!

Happy October 1st with new music!
