While you're enjoying an unseasonably sunny summer afternoon, we will be at Safeco Field, showing our undying support for the 2007 Seattle Mariners, authors of one of the greatest collapses in baseball history.

All-Pro Alcohol Consumer Jerramy Stevens will play football for Tampa Bay next season. The Buccaneers signed Stevens after the draft on Sunday (terms undisclosed) but not before having a little sit-down. "We had a very serious talk with him today," said GM Bruce Allen.

The Husky football team, helped by a Hail Mary touchdown pass to end the second half, became the first state school to win a Pac-10 game this season, beating Arizona 38-14. The Dawgs host the Apple Cup next Saturday.

Last week, offensive tackle Walter Jones signed a seven-year deal.
