ALL OVER
I guess it's a little roundup here on a Friday.
MARINERS
I'm just going to pretend that Whitey Herzog's name never came up in the Mariners' managerial speculation hoopla. Between the names of Joe Maddon, Terry Collins, Grady Little, Jimy Williams, Art Howe, Whitey Herzog, and Don Baylor, let's check my excitement level really quick upon reading this... Yup; flatlined.
SEAHAWKS
Did you know Steve Nelson was a Pro Bowl linebacker for the Patriots back in the day? Okay, it's probably a different one. Anyway, Matt Hasselbeck's dad's teammate has a few things to say about the young Hasselbeck. Also, Itula Mili realizes he's a backup to Jerramy Stevens. In the notes section, Ken Hamlin and Ced Woodard have sore toes and are probable for Sunday. There's also that Jerry Rice rumor. At this point, if anything can help Koren Robinson hang onto the ball, by all means those things should be pursued.
SONICS/STORM
Nate McMillan wants more out of Vlad Radmanovic. This leads me to ask myself, how long have the Sonics left the "Rashard or Vlad" dilemma on the table? It's mildly infuriating. There's another article on this, with both articles reporting that Ray Allen was poked in the eye by Ibrahim Kutluay and had to take a trip to the ol' ophthalmologist. Also, they're beating up Robert Swift at practice, and he seems to be taking it really well, to the point where he might actually contribute this season, far ahead of original plans. I guess this tends to happen after Jerome James plays 25 minutes and gets one rebound the other night. In Storm news, Lauren Jackson will have bone spurs taken out of her foot (notice the nice picture of Jackson seemingly resisting Howie Schultz's peck on the cheek), and David Locke suggests that Anne Donovan does everything a good coach does, making her more than suitable for an NBA job.
HOCKEY
Wayne Gretzky can coach the Phoenix Coyotes if he wants to (provided they ever play). He's a 17% owner in the team, and nets $2.5M/yr as a managing partner in the team. And if you want to tick yourself off, here's the NHL's collective bargaining agreement news site. And there's Charlie Teujeur's letter to Gary Bettman.
Tonight: Vancouver at Spokane, Everett at Portland, Kelowna at Seattle, Puget Sound at Kootenai, Manitoba at Rochester
Have a good day, and have fun watching Kevin Brown and Bronson Arroyo. I guess.
