Two lessons history teaches over and over again — and will be teaching once again, apparently:
1. Appeasing dictators in pursuit of peace leads to more war.
2. The quickest way to self-impose a recession is to levy tariffs on foreign imports.

A lifelong Republican, I never thought I wouldn’t vote for the GOP nominee.
Then came Trump.
After Trump, I never thought I’d feel more contempt for another politician than I did him.
Then came JD Vance, who — unlike Trump, a toddler with a spray tan — knows better.

You kinda just have to have the Kraken on in the background as you direct most of your attention elsewhere at this point.

Ownership is going to be asking why they’re spending to the cap and getting so little from it.

The fact of the matter is we won’t know if this #Seahawks season was a “success” or not until the end of next year.
If it proves to be a stepping stone, it was a success.
If we’re doing the 9-10 win, one-&-done at best thing for the 4th straight year, it will be a failure.

A rather whelming season all told, but #Seahawks fans have more reason to be excited than other fans towards their first year coaches except for maybe the Chargers and Commanders…?

The #NFL got rid of one preseason game to add a 17th regular season game. Yet between teams out of it and most other teams resting starters ahead of the playoffs, these 17th regular season game look a lot like preseason games.

You’ve gotta admire the University of Oregon football program: reinventing and redefining uniform ugliness week after week, year after year, for going on three decades now.
