The chronically East Coast-focused ESPN crowned Cleveland the most tortured fan base in all of sports last year, before the collective treachery and vindictiveness of the unholy Schultz-to-Bennett takeover cost us our oldest franchise. With the advent of this past weekend's debacle in Buffalo, it’s time for Cleveland to step aside. There’s a new redheaded stepchild on the professional sporting block and its name is Seattle.

Seahawks Head Coach Mike Holmgren made two major announcements today on the injury front, as the team prepares for his final season at the helm. Marcus Tubbs has been waived and Bobby Engram has an injury that will put him out for 6-8 weeks. Former first-round pick Tubbs was waived today, as the team appears to have given up on the oft-injured defensive tackle. He was attempting to come back from a knee injury, which had kept him out of pre-season drills and required surgery during the 2007 training camp, causing him to miss all of last season. He was widely considered a key element in the team's ability to stop the run.

We've been reading and rereading Hawks/Packers stuff all week. Here the few things we think are important about Saturday's game:

--The real estate bubble really is getting crazy.

--Though he's been rumored to be a candidate for both the Liberty and Long Beach State head coaching jobs, Cameron Dollar says it isn't true. Which means he's probably on a private plane to Long Beach right now.

--The guy who was in charge of the Zune squirted himself off the Microsoft campus to "focus on the next chapter of his life." Riiight. X-Box leader J Allard takes over.

Bill Simmons (a.k.a. "The Sports Guy") of ESPN isn't impressed with the Seahawks' trade for Deion Branch.
