Last night, we were eating buffalo wings and Dora asked me if the Seahawks would receive many cheers from the people gathered around the televisions in the crowded bar. I murmured something about Steve Largent and the Seahawks not even being bad enough to be really bottom of the barrel bad, just constantly mediocre. And then, thinking of the Seahawks’ pretty new stadium—complete with art gallery—and Seattlers’ penchant for coffee, their well-educated populace, neat communities, and indie rock scene…

I realized that Seattle is Park Slope west.

So, in two weeks: The Park Slope Seahawks against the rough and tumble Pittsburgh Steelers.

Have you seen Park Slope football in Prospect Park? Work that around your mind a little bit.

p.s.: secretly, I really want to tour the stadium, along with SF's Pac Bell Park. But I can still mock the Seahawks.

they could write a song about drinking hard and running fast.

from monkey!! knife!! fight!!, a paraphrase:

"we run around left end/ just a little too fast/ my eyes on first down, porter on my shoulder. yeah, we both hit hard. and behind us the flash bulbs just pop, the flash bulbs just pop"

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
