40 carries. 201 yards. Forty carries. Forty! This from a guy who’s just in his 2nd game back from a broken foot, and who plays on a Mike Holmgren offense. Amazing, surprising, and the key to winning a Monday Night Football game over the Packers in Qwest Field conditions that looked more like Green Bay [...]

Game #11: Packers (4-6) at Seattle (6-4)
You’ve got MattHass back in the starting lineup, Brett Favre still in the starting lineup, the whole Holmgren/Favre/Green Bay storyline, and all kinds of other stuff going on here. And none of that is as important as the fact that the Hawks need to win this game to keep [...]

Real Madrid is still steady in their chase of Barcelona. The “merengues” got a crucial 1-0 victory over Valencia at the Mestalla on Sunday.Captain and striker Raul Gonzalez fired home in the second-half as Real moved to within three points of champions…

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Posting will likely be light until the weekend, or maybe until the Seahawks Open Game Thread we’ll do on Monday.
Speaking of the Seahawks… Adam Schefter reports on NFL.com that the Hawks will face Broncos rookie Jay Cutler when the two teams meet on December 3rd. It seems odd for a team [...]

Quick hit and run post here:
1) Mike Holmgren says MattHass will play next week against the Packers.
2) The Packers aren’t sure if Brett Favre will play (but knowing him, count on #4 being in there).
3) The December 3rd game againsrt Denver has been moved to the NBC prime time Sunday slot at 5:15 pm PT. [...]

It’d be easy to put the blame on Seneca Wallace for his 3 INTs, including that painful one late in the 4th quarter, but the Seahawks lost this game in the first half with what has to be their worst 30 minutes of football all season: Penalties, turnovers, and the worst tackling I’ve ever seen. [...]

Game #10: Seahawks (6-3) at 49ers (4-5)
Strange that the Seahawks and 49ers are facing each other for the first time in Week 11.
Strange that the 49ers are in 2nd place in the division, only 2 games behind the Hawks.
Not strange that Mike Holmgren is all hush-hush about MattHass and Alexander playing today. My gut feeling [...]

And more proof that my camera severly doesn’t work well at night time unless people are playing musical statues. Proper photos should be on the way soon:

Holmgren says MattHass and Shaun A. are game-time decisions Sunday. That’s the word from Mike Sando on the T-N-T blog. “Both players practiced extensively today,” he writes, but he’s not allowed to say who took the most reps with the starters.
Baseball’s GM meetings are over, and the Mariners are still talking to what seems [...]

Real Madrid defender Roberto Carlos has been in the club for almost ten years, and he is expecting a pay-hike as he seeks new contract talks.The Brazilian star has denied reports he’s already agreed terms over a new deal at Real and admitted: “It is no…

This is going around the blogosphere (hate that word), so you may have seen it already. If not, maybe you’ll find it fascinating (as I do):

Pretty nondescript weekend in college football, eh? Thursday doesn’t count towards the weekend, lads. Yeah, the Big East may have been decided, the Big Two had minor scares, and some old guy got mugged on the Penn State sideline. Oh, wait. That was Joe Pa. My bad. But I will say that had to be the most unintentionally funny moment involving a senior citizen and a collision since Bob Dole lost his battle with gravity in California in 1996…

Institute lifted the Carnegie Cup tonight after beating Dundela 2-1 at Stangmore Park. Mark Scoltock got the nod ahead of Seamus Fanthorpe beside Paddy at centre back, but apart from that, the team was as expected. Stute were on top from the first whistle and Kevin Ramsey could have had a hattrick in the first [...]

It was a really good game for Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Dutch frontman struck four times as Real Madrid defeated Osasuna four-one at the Reyno de Navarra Stadium in Pamplona to maintain their challenge at the top of Spanish “Liga” on Sunday.Indeed, the …

I’m really excited for MLS today. Not just for the MLS Cup match, though that is going to be brilliant, but for MLS in general.The owners finally put the Beckham Rule on the books at the league meeting yesterday. I saw finally because Landon Donovan,…

College basketball is back, as a quick check of Tuesday’s schedule shows two games being played in College Park, Maryland, as the Coaches vs Cancer Classic tips off the 2006-07 college basketball season. Florida, last year’s national champs, will begin this season No.1 in both the AP and Coaches’ preseason polls…

As I’ve been saying for weeks now, this year’s Heisman winner will be won by one of two QBs, Ohio State’s Troy Smith or Notre Dame’s Brady Quinn. Quinn has the much better numbers lately but it shouldn’t go unnoticed that the Irish haven’t exactly faced “Murderers Row”…

Imagine the scene Rangers have just beaten a top European team at home and they come back to SPL business against a Dundee United team how have conceded 16 goals in their last four games. There has to be an easy win in there surely. Well this is Paul L…
