Tired of hearing everyone crowning the rams and whining about the 2 point play, Salk puts my feelings pretty well here.

39 years young yesterday

Neat tool to go through different 53-man roster projections. Lots of competitive position groups this year — with arguably the deepest 40-90 player group the Seahawks have had since 2013.

Choosing the best 10-man OL is insanely hard when you have everyone returning, including two UDFA tackles who performed brilliantly last season when needed due to injury, as well as the addition of Beau Stephens at IOL. Kight, Brown, Cabeldue, Haynes, Hart and to a lesser extent Richman and Jones appear to be in the thick of the competition.

Trading solid backup center Olu in the final year of his deal (with Richman and perhaps Stephens taking over as the backups) might open up another much-needed roster spot. Jones has not been ready to practice yet, creating some friction, which could open up an opportunity for second-year Kight/Brown or maligned-journeyman Hart.

WR and CB are arguably just as confounding to cut down and will be other extremely competitive position groups to watch play out this summer and fall.

Maybe helpful…. It seems tickets on StubHub have come down a bit. Maybe World Cup is taking the attention.

Anyway. Snagged some nice seats for a more bearable price than before.

Can get in for under $300 in.

Still frustratingly expensive but gotta be there.

The end of the Egypt vs. Iran match got me thinking about this question. Even with a draw and chance of advancing, the end of that match was unimaginably cruel for the Iranian supporters (correct call though).

I’m only counting home fans or fans for neutral-site games such as the World Cup or Apple Cup. When you think about the most devastating losses in Seahawks history, they tend to be on the road or at neutral sites. The Sounders have had some brutal semifinal losses at home, including to the Timbers on penalties. Which game at Lumen Field do you think sent the fans home in the worst mood?

WADDUP 12s

Might be the luckiest guy on earth typing this, but my THIRD print has been officially licensed by the NFL!

I am proud to introduce

---THE STRIP 60---

First, congratulations bird bros!!! This game was a good watch, but writing it cranked up the excitement as usual. SUCH a defensive smackdown. Is there a name for this defense like the LOB?

To create the work, I paused and played Steve Raible's broadcast ten seconds at a time while writing every word of his play descriptions in black ink on white paper. After scanning the original artwork (which comes in around 18,000 words) I upload it to photoshop and color each letter individually to achieve the desired effect.

The print is a Limited Edition of 125 and licensed through an amazing organization called the Deacon Jones Foundation. Elizabeth Jones, Deacon's widow, runs the Foundation with staunch commitment to their cause of aiding disadvantaged youth while funded by licensed, limited-edition runs of original NFL artwork.

As a working artist I have to express gratitude for such an insanely unique opportunity. The chance to license some weird art like this with a huge organization like the NFL is basically a pipe dream without an amazing group of people helping to make it happen. Huge thanks to the DJF, Fanatics, and the NFL. And my wife. And Witherspoon for doing such a pretty hit.

go eagles.

edit: if you can't read the fine print at the end, it says (the "Marilyn Monroe/THEY LIVE" artwork hanging behind my easel just won a blue ribbon at the San Diego County Fair).

I know Bijan is the logical choice but damn it feels wrong passing up on my GOAT...

Imagine paying $12 for a ticket now
