Time out for sports. The Northwest is a sink hole.
Baseball was bad enough. The Mariners lost 100 games with a payroll of $117 million. No major league team previously had ever spent so much for so little.
Then came football. The Seahawks, perennial playoff contenders of late, stand at 2-10, with nearly 100 points more allowed than scored. And relatively speaking, that's good.
The University of Washington finished winless in 11 tries, including a loss to their dreaded cross-state rivals, Washington State. But the Cougars can hardly crow with two wins against 10 losses, in the process giving up an impossible 546 points.
Combined, the three football powerhouses stand a collective 4 and 31, losing by an average of 36-15.
And any thoughts of finding some solace in the fortunes of the Sonics this year must be tempered by the knowledge that they no longer exist. They have moved to Oklahoma City...where they still stink.
