This Super Bowl feels suspiciously like it was scripted for me. The Seahawks have been my team for as long as I can remember. My first football game was Super Bowl XLVIII, watching the Legion of Boom embarass Peyton Manning, I was just 12 years old. The symmetry felt perfect: the Seahawks, the fans known […]

“There was rain.” That is the first thing my parents remember about the day I was born. It was May 2001, and while rain fell outside the hospital room, thirty minutes west the Seattle Mariners were playing baseball. By the time a little Eric entered the world, they were already in the eighth inning, on

Entering the top 4, we were already guaranteed to have a new Champion. Despite the NBA being a league of dynasties, ever since the Warriors, there have been no repeat winners. Matter a fact, no defending champion has ever even made it back to the conference finals. This year was no different, yet it still

So… I have been horrendous with my picks this NBA post-season. To recap: I picked the Thunder in 6, the Warriors in 6, the Cavs in 5, and Celtics in 5. I only predicted one series winner correct, and missed on all game scores. In fairness to myself, the Warriors lost Curry to injury after
Only four remain…. Read More »
While most of my picks were accurate (slight difference in game score), there are two series I significantly miscalculated: Lakers over Wolves in 6, and Bucks over Pacers in 7. I had originally picked the Lakers because I believed in Luka and LeBron, and it seems like my faith in them was misguided. Games 3,

The Seattle Seahawks are approaching a crossroads that could define the next several years of the franchise. Geno Smith, the quarterback who has revived his career in Seattle, is reportedly seeking a contract extension. Smith has been a stabilizing force for the Seahawks, guiding them to playoff contention in back-to-back seasons. But he’s certainly not

Mike MacDonald’s entry into the 2024 NFL head coaching cycle was about as underwhelming as it gets. He wasn’t the headline-grabbing name like Jim Harbaugh, who resurrected the fabled 49ers in the early 2010s and won a national championship at Michigan. Nor was he Dan Quinn, the architect behind the Legion of Boom, or Ben

By: Eric Yin Last time I wrote on this blog, Carroll had yet to be fired. And to be quite honest, I don’t believe anyone in the Seahawk fanbase truly thought he would be fired. Carroll had just come off a playoff appearance with Geno Smith as his quarterback, and was coaching one of the
And let the coaching carousel begin… Read More »
By: Eric Yin Look, last year’s story was a fairy tale. Backup Geno Smith outplaying Russell Wilson in week 1. John Schnieder pulling off a draft heist, getting arguably the offensive and defensive rookies of the draft. And of course Pete Carrol at the helm, leading the team to the playoffs. Last year was an
