Welcome to Seattle, Edgerrin James! The likely Hall-of-Famer is a Seahawk, signed to provide depth at a position that has been unsettled since Shaun Alexander's 2006 collapse.

We learned a new word from a recent issue of Wired magazine: popcorning. It's a scientific theory involving "a chain reaction in which the accidental explosion of one nuclear warhead causes others in the vicinity to detonate, releasing lethal radiation for miles in every direction." (We are imagining some hungover crane operator over at the Bangor sub base, hitting this button when she meant to press that one.)

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook by preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks' opponent.

Sports fans around the city are saying goodbye to Shaun Alexander. The former NFL MVP was released by the Seahawks following eight seasons.

On Saturday we will be in a land where betting on sports is not only legal, they reward you with free drinks for doing so. We'll be placing some money on the Seahawks, with the understanding that if they lose we are out both happiness and money.

The Seattle Times breaks the story of just how diseased college sports fans have become. The newspaper got about 1,000 emails that Husky fans sent to University of Washington president Mark Emmert, athletic director Todd Turner, and coach Ty Willingham through a public records request.

Not sure we've ever seen a win for which the credit belongs so overwhelmingly to the defense. For most of the game, the Seahawks' defensive line was able to get pressure with only four rushers. By establishing that, they were able to drop guys back into coverage, which led to the two pick sixes.

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs.

Tonight, the nation's hardcore gamblers' eyes will be on Seattle as our fair burgh hosts Monday Night Football.

Lately the Seahawks' offense has been about as offensive as a Bastyr College commencement address.

An NFL-record streak ended today with the Seahawks' loss to the Steelers. Shaun Alexander had had a run of at least ten yards in 68 consecutive games.

As we were ducking out of yet another Garfield blowout loss to Franklin, we joked to our friends, "What if the Huskies and Seahawks lose too! That would sure suck."

Yesterday some guys from SFist emailed about a bet of some kind they wanted to make. When the Seahawks beat the 'Niners on Thursday night we'd get to post some gloating thing on their site. That was the gist of it. Well, it blew up in our faces, in play-by-play form, no less. Here's SFist Christopher Rogers reporting for Seattlest:

- Tonight: Seahawks vs. Packers, 5:30 pm on ESPN and Channel 11.

--Seattle Podcasting Network infiltrated Fisher Communications on election night.

--Shaun Alexander won't play next week in a key divisional game against the Rams.

--When Canadians say "the war" they're still referring to Afghanistan. Pftt. Americans are so over that war.

Doctors found damage to Matt Hasselbeck's medial-collateral ligament, injured Sunday on what some Hawks say was a dirty hit.

On the last day of September, the Huskies beat Arizona for their third consecutive victory, and the Seahawks were in Chicago, feeling pretty good about inaugurating October against the Bears. Sure, Shaun Alexander was out, but their potent four-receiver attack had rolled over the Giants.

God was evidently too busy granting the prayers of this guy, or perhaps there is no God at all, as Shaun Alexander's foot is still broken.

According to Seahawks Insider, Shaun Alexander says his foot doesn't hurt anymore--not after he spent a few days praying about it.

If you saw any of the Hawks win yesterday, you saw Shaun Alexander hobbling around gingerly. Turns out he's got a broken foot, and he could miss as much as a month.

There are some Seattle sports fans who complain that our teams don't get enough national media attention. Yeah, we know it's true, and there are times when it irks us a bit, but we understand. Seriously, have you seen where we are on a map? Ultimately we really don't care because know it doesn't matter.

Last night the Seahawks re-signed NFL MVP running back Shaun Alexander to an eight-year, $62 million contract. Alexander gets $15 million of it up front. Goodbye, credit card debt.

Rainier Beach, Seattlest's favorite high school hoops team, got upset in the state quarterfinals last night, by Lynden High. But, really, what chance did they stand against a team that has players with names like Dirk Dallas and Brady Bomber. Dallas had 19 points, Bomber had 15. Is this a high school basketball team or a 30's detective novel?

Feeling lucky? The Super Bowl's the time to enlarge your wallet by beating the bookmakers. You can bet on practically anything about the game.

Google added a couple of zoom levels to their satellite maps two days ago and while we were panning around downtown Seattle trying to spot ourselves we came across Qwest field filled with fans and the away team pinned inside the five. One hundred Seattlest Credits (absolutely no value) to the fanatic who can tell us when this game happened, what the final score was, and how many times Shaun Alexander pointed at heaven. Here's a hint - They're playing in Seahawks Stadium, not Qwest Field.

Some things are gone, or going.

It's six days until the biggest NFL game of his life, and where's Seahawks' starting right tackle Sean Locklear? In jail!
