Field Gulls Managing Editor, covering the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Occasional Track and Field columnist for SB Nation. I watch a lot of sports.
If you're going to T-Mobile Park tomorrow, please strongly consider wearing a mask due to the potentially unhealthy environmental conditions of watching the Seattle Mariners offense.
Just went past the Centennial Mills fire in Portland. Yeah this is why they can’t have the Amtrak line running right now. Collapse (and water tower fall) is imminent.
I got to interview Pat Harris, the lead director of HBO's Hard Knocks series. One of my takeaways? He really likes Mike Macdonald. www.fieldgulls.com/seattle-seah...

Either I mistyped the date when I searched this morning or Portland to Seattle prices shot up the minute Amtrak canceled service from PDX to SEA this week.
I leave for Seattle literally tomorrow. K cool cool.
I assume that all of these reporters suddenly interested in covering Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx games lately just want to cover two of the top four teams in the WNBA and how outstanding they've been on the court, right? Because they're really good basketball teams.
Ohtani's injury made the Dodgers pitching staff look very shaky, so they get themselves a proven veteran in Tarik Scubal for the postseason.
I'd like to know if there's a less obvious cultural cause that has made country music storm back into the mainstream Billboard charts again at a time when R&B shares have dropped precipitously over the past few years. Not even commenting on music quality, just noticeable market shift patterns.
Why the hell as a 1B would your first priority not be to throw out the winning run. The M's will take it.
Nobody told me DeMarco Murray is now the Chiefs running backs coach.
Those were some pretty hefty sounding boos from the Mariners fans after that final out.
Fever have the 4th best record in the league, 2nd best point diff per game, will be 1 seed in East. No one cares. Don’t see anyone talking about it. Sucks!
Who Gianni Infantino thought he was vs. What actually happened:
Chris Vannini@chrisvannini.com · 5d agoNEWS: FIFA announces the private investment plans will NOT move forward. This comes after Europe threatened to boycott the World Cup and other continents followed by rejecting the proposal.
I would suggest examining the difference between a traditional data centre and an AI data centre. One is an unintrusive, easily ignored building, the other is an environment disaster with an absurd need for power, built to serve non-existent demand for a dubious product.
Ross Douthat will replace Tony Romo on NFL on CBS games.
Price 1, Holani 2, Wilson 3 in that order come Week 1. When Charb comes back, I know who's getting healthy scratches.

We lost our way as a society when we stopped producing elite theme songs for children's cartoons. Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Magic School Bus, Duck Tales, the list goes on and on. Theme songs that could've charted in the Billboard Hot 100 if they released as singles.
Portland doesn't have city income tax. That's an issue you take up with the state. They're just openly parroting talking points from a very specific political populace. www.opb.org/article/2026...
CBS had to put Romo on leave. I'm sure they were furious that he sounded more coherent in the bodycam footage than he has on any of the games he's called over the past several years.
Since Covid is in the news again for... reasons, two things strike me from 2020: 1.) How news outlets used the phrase "So Americans can get back to work" during lockdowns. 2.) The behavior change among certain people the minute we knew who was dying/disproportionately at risk of dying from Covid.
