Meet The Blueberry Muffin Divers

Allow me to introduce you to The Blueberry Muffin Divers, the baddest soccer team in Seattle... and who is that handsome devil in front, on the right-hand-side? Oh, is that me? Well, I guess the secret is out of the bag. Yup, I joined a small-sided soccer league last month and have been knocking the ball around with this rag-tag cadre of footballers and we have a fairly impressive scorecard: 0-3-2. Okay, so maybe it's not that impressive, but it is a ton of fun. We have another game today, and I think we are going to win. I'll let you know how it turns out. But even if we don't, we have the best name in the league. Don't ask how we came up with the name, just appreciate the brilliance.

The Fox Box

What you do not see is a bar full of NFL commentators. That's what happens when you use your camera phone in a dark room to take a picture, but I can tell what it is. Click on through to Flickr for the annotated version. Anyway, last night Meghan and I were taking advantage of the Fox Grill's Happy Hour, when the bar erupted in applause; Terry Bradshaw had arrived. Then another round of applause; Troy Aikman, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, James Brown, and Jillian Barberie (looking like a Trampy McTrampkins) had arrived. The bar went nuts and everyone was trying to act suave. I took the opportunity to take a quick shot with my new phone and well, the rest is history. Very convenient that the NFL on Fox commentators happened to be at the Fox Grill. I'm sure there were no contractual obligations, financial incentives, or other motivations for their appearance. But in any case, that's what I have to say about that.

Goodness Gracious

Not to be outdone, Mr. Little has recently proved his love for all things Seattle: the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, and of course, the Seahawks. As the hours tick down until the big game, one can only wonder which one of these super-fans will have the ultimate bragging rights. It will be a long seven months until next season and only one team will come out on top. Who will win and who will be eliminated? Tune in Sunday for the ultimate showdown.

Byron Loves the Redskins

Byron and the Redskins sitting in a tree... well, you know what they are doing. In any case, this photo comes by way of some investigative reporting by the fine folks in DC. Even though Mr. Scarbrough might not admit it, there is photographic proof that he's a huge Redskins fan, at least according to Rod Little. In any case, there are five other beautiful photos that put Byron in incriminating situations over in the Photo Chronic-what-cles of Scarbrough. Are they real? Are they a hoax? Will Byron be watching the game with his pals Sasquatch and the Humanzee? Examine the evidence for yourself and then decide if you believe it or not!

It's funny because it's like me, but not

I saw this on Seattlest and it made me laugh because if I were a big football fan, this would be me. Captain Indecisive. And I'd probably get my ass kicked at the game. But you should check out this guy's blog, it's pretty cool: Jokes About the Rain. And, even thoug I'm not going. I'll be watching it on TV and drinking lots of beer until I get drunk enough to decide who to cheer for. Go Seaskins! Redhawks! Skinhawks!
