The Mariners have won 60 games, which is about 10 more than you'd expect given their scoring stats. That's not an accident, but it also speaks to why Seattle needs to move. Now.

Seattle Mariners are good and lucky but won't stay that way without help The Mariners have scored 423 runs, allowed 422 and somehow won 20 more games than they've lost. That trend won't hold up, which means it's time to get aggressive.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, OK, fine I'll trying and talk myself into supporting an NBA preseason game, which on its face feels extremely insulting.

Is preseason game anything more than the NBA insulting Seattle again? The NBA's proposed Oct. 6 preseason game in Seattle could be the start of the league's return to the city, but it's hard to shake off how insulting it seems on its face.

You know who's really good at pointless finger-wagging? The NCAA. That's who. Never underestimate their willingness to eschew measures to address the structural problems of college sports in favor of placing a veil of shame over the players and/or coaches.

Of course the NCAA uses the dumbest, most ineffective punishments Vacating wins and nullifying titles doesn't change anything in college sports, which makes it the perfect punishment in the eyes of the NCAA.

When it comes to the Seahawks' offensive line, I just don't get it. The more cynical will ask what took me so long. The even more cynical will suggest the Seahawks may not have any better idea about what they're doing than I do. http://sports.mynorthwest.com/320477/seahawks-shuffling-offensive-line/

Another season, another shuffling of the Seahawks' O-Line Germain Ifedi's moving back to tackle after spending his rookie season at guard, which makes you wonder why he was moved in the first place.

Earl Thomas explains why he was a very interested observer in the Seahawks' negotiations with Kam Chancellor: http://sports.mynorthwest.com/318722/seahawks-insider-earl-thomas-encouraged-by-kam-chancellors-extension/

Kam Chancellor's extension is a signal to other Seattle Seahawks Earl Thomas was an interested observer in his teammate's contract negotiations. Very interest. This time next year, he'll be in line for an extension.

Kam Chancellor's new extension shows that he has completed one of the more remarkable comebacks in the history of Seattle sports. http://sports.mynorthwest.com/318050/kam-chancellor-completes-incredible-comeback-for-the-seahawks/

Kam Chancellor's 2-year turnaround results in Seahawks extension Don't call it a comeback, Kam Chancellor has been here for years, but his three-year extension with the Seattle Seahawks reflects a huge comeback victory.
