A winning weekend (not you mariners)

The Sounders FC won the Cascadia Cup yesterday. And the day before, they were mathematically assured of a berth in the playoffs. And they’re doing better in the Concacaf Champions League than they were last year. They’re going to the playoffs for the third year in a row. Not too shabby considering as the team is only three years old. MLS had the right idea when they gave franchises to Portland and Vancouver as well. The Derby matches are always fun, and more people are enjoying it than if it were just the Seattle team (like with The New World Order (Mind-Control Division) and the Seattle Mariners. Though with the Mariners I have to say that they don’t just suck. They swallow, too. What the hell happened to them? Wasn’t Ichiro won of the reasons we went to the playoffs in 2000/1? But the season will soo be over, and the fans’ suffering will end. Until next spring.

And the Seahawks won today. At least the defense won. And I got home from work early enough that I saw the defense win it. But they always say that while your offense sells the tickets, it’s the defense that wins the game. They beast the Arizona Cardinals 13-10. And they did it the hard way. They Cardinals weren’t wearing their mitres…

And guess who’s 3-0? The Lions. I saw them in the preseason when they gave Tom Brady his well-deserved beating, and I decided to root for them this year (I don’t think they’re playing the Seahawks this year so I can safely have divided loyalties). I think what happened is somebody told them in the locker room that all of their opponents this year are Christian…
