It appears the athletic directors at Washington and Washington State hit a major roadblock at the last moment and could not come to an agreement that would move the Apple Cup to Qwest Field. The hiccup? The greedy SOBs couldn’t agree on how many tickets to divide up between the two schools. Qwest holds 67,000 and UW wanted all 43,000 season ticket holders to be guaranteed tickets. Wazzu wouldn’t go for it, insisting the seat allocation be split down the middle. Seems to me that it would have been fair to alternate every other year. One year the Huskies take care of their season ticket holders, the other year, Wazzu takes care of theirs. But that probably makes too much sense. In any case, the Apple Cup won’t be played at Qwest and that’s a good thing.
Seattle PISeattle PI wears women’s underwear
The once venerable Seattle news gathering institution jumped the shark on Wednesday with its front page domination of The Seattle Mist training camp. Anyhoo, The Mist is Seattle’s Lingerie Football League team and columnist Jim Moore and photographer Joshua Trujillo were hastily dispatched to watch the girls run around in tank tops. I’ll be honest, like many of Moore’s columns I couldn’t make it past the third paragraph before giving up. So, there you go. Since the PI went exclusively online a few weeks ago, it’s probably figuring out what many of us bloggers learned a while ago: girls wearing little to no clothing drives traffic. Welcome to the Dark Side SeattlePI.com!
Erik Bedard: Eat sh*t Mitten
My favorite punching bag, Mariners starting pitcher Erik Bedard, is providing less and less fodder for this blog. Quite simply, the guy is lights out – pitching like we all hoped he would when he joined the Mariners last season. Last night’s performance was no different. Bedard went 6-2/3 innings, giving up just 2 earned runs, 5 hits and striking out 6. The two earned runs are understandable and came in the bottom half of the sixth inning. The M’s put up six runs in the top half of that inning and Bedard sat cold on the bench and watched the offense bat around. M's won 8-3.
Breaking News: NFL Draft Today
The only way you wouldn’t know about today’s NFL Draft would be you don’t watch sports, read this blog or are currently being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. But I’m pretty sure they get SportsCenter even down there. In case you still haven’t laid a wager with your buddies on who will be the Seahawks’ first pick, here are some updated mock drafts. NFLDraftScout.com, NationalFootballPost.com, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, WashingtonPost.com, ChicagoTribune.com, and NFL.com.
Bill 6116 barely breathing
Senate Bill 6116 is on life support, but it may still be passed by tomorrow. If you’re clueless as to what this is, well, it is legislation that will pretty much determine whether or not Seattle ever gets another NBA team. You can read one of my prior posts on the subject here. I may have called people some names in that one. Not something I’m proud of. A little proud. Giddy, really.
Call the legislative hotline, but be nice-ish: 1-800-562-6000
