Aw, thanks, Redhook. We really appreciate the sentiment. Now, if you could help the Seahawks or the Huskies start winning, we'd be even more grateful. Don't forget to add your lovely sentiments and photos to the Seattlest Flickr Pool.

Is there drama in Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game between the Hawks and Packers? Well, the playoffs are always dramatic. But this game packs (ha!) even more of a theatrical punch. The storylines:

After September's win over San Francisco, in which the Niners managed only nine first downs, we did a little capsule history over on our all-sports blog of the other times in Seahawk history when they'd held an opponent to less than ten first downs. It had only happened seven times before that game--the September game made it eight--and never twice in once season. Now the Hawks have done it twice in once season to the...

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."

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.

Seattlest was down in Arizona for spring training last week, and dammit if we didn't just miss what sounds like a hell of a lot of fun with Jerramy Stevens. From The Arizona Republic:

A Seattle Seahawks player faces charges of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana after his Tuesday morning arrest in downtown Scottsdale.

--There's a wind advisory in effect for tonight. Good thing you haven't even lugged the generator back into storage yet.

--The Hawks' Walter Jones, Lofa Tatupu, Julian Peterson and Mack Strong are going Pro Bowl-ing.

Seahawks Insider reports that he won't be reporting from Seahawks HQ today:

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:

Remember last week when it was sunny and crystal clear outside? The skies were blue, and we could make out mountain trails on the Cascades. In the evening when the sun set behind the Olympics and Mt. Rainer was glowing in the pink light, we wondered if there was a more beautiful place to live.

The Seahawks play in Kansas City on Sunday--their first trip there since 2001. But back when the Hawks were in the AFC West, they played there every year.

The Seahawks' team flight back from Chicago made an emergency landing in one of the Dakotas and it appears to be a medical-related stop. We first suspected Boulware 's concussion, but it turns out that assistant coache Ray Rhodes was feeling sick. Since he has an history of stroke symptoms the plane stopped for him.

--We were feeling like sort of a dork for spending our Friday night at the Garfield/Franklin football game, but less so when current NY Knick Nate Robinson sat down about fifteen feet from us. Robinson's brother Jacque is a senior running back for the Bulldogs. Older brother was there with a few friends. For the most part, people left him alone. We snapped a few clandestine photos of us with the Great in the background.

Optimists that we are, we'd hyped ourselves into a pretty good mood about the upcoming Husky football season. (Anything to stop from thinking about the Mariners). We thought--hey--the Dawgs start out with four very winnable games (ignoring the Oklahoma game, which they should probably just forfeit now and save state taxpayers the airfare).

Honeymoon's over, Seahawks front office. You greedy fools.

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?

Texas A&M University believes that, because of some game in 1922, only they should be able to recognize football fans as the 12th man.

4th down and six. Here's the game, folks. Redskins down six and driving with three minutes to play.

The Cougar men are for real. They beat the Huskies Saturday night, but it didn't feel like an upset to us. It felt like a pretty good team getting some timely shooting and capitalizing on foul trouble (Brandon Roy's) to beat another pretty good team. The Huskies are 1-2 in Pac-10 play. Not encouraging. But the renaissance of WSU basketball is good for the state. We could have three state teams in the tournament this year.

National Champs!: The UW women's volleyball team swept favored Nebraska three games to none in the NCAA Championship game. The Huskies didn't lose a game the entire tournament--becoming only the second team to achieve that feat.

The Seahawks finally made the cover of Sports Illustrated. Shaun Alexander, on the verge of breaking the all-time rushing touchdown record, is deemed worthy of the honor. The Dec. 19th edition's cover also has a small pic of Gonzaga star and Spokane native Adam Morrison. Northwest, represent!

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.

The Seahawks are 6-2. Happy times! Let's let visions of Super Bowl rings and Gatorade showers dance through our heads.

Local sports fans, let's just pretend that Saturday never happened and turn our attentions to the happy events of Sunday.

Kanye West, we hear, is one hot rapper hiphop artist. And he samples Ray Charles' "I Got a Woman" on his single "Gold Digger." Thus, in an attempt to appeal to the kids, we will sample the late great Ray on this post.

In Western Washington, enjoying the water is a huge summer perk.

Sounding more like a person leaving an unsatifying relationship than a football player joining a new team, former Seahawks DE Chike Okeafor specified why he chose to sign with the Arizona Cardinals in a press conference quoted in Thursday's P-I. "Over there (in Seattle) on a day-to-day basis I felt alone, not surrounded by enough people that thought like me, felt like me, played like me on a day-to-day basis and love the game like me. So I was in search of that from my teammates, and I felt that here."
