Another reason the Kings-to-Seattle sale is NOT a done deal.

The Wisconsaholic Packer fan schools this Seahawk fan. It’s funny! At one point the dude is talking about new feather trim on the Seahawk uniforms. What is that about?

An architect and former city councilman claims that the current Seattle arena plan is in noncompliance with zoning law, also says footprint is too large to allow for proper buffer zone with heavy industry. Not sure if this will end up being a big deal for them, but I thought I'd pass it along as it illustrates how Seattle may be a bit further from being able to secure a team than some people would like to believe.

Forgive me if this was already posted, but it looks like some Seattle tv affiliates will be showing Blazer games over the air this season... I, for one, am excited about this. Those of you who have checked out the excellent sonicsgate.org movie will understand why some Seattle folks might not be excited about the NBA returning to Seattle airwaves in this manner.

Just in case you may not have remembered, we knocked out the Mariners last night with Lackey's big win. Texas and Oakland have 15 and 11 to go on their magic numbers, meaning we could lock this up in a couple weeks. Let's go Halos!
