Apples to Apples

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the addicting fun game, but it has everything to do with one very very depressing state.

Washington.

What does Washington have going for them right now sports wise? Lets take a look at the main sports in the state. NFL,MLB, NCAAF, NBA and NCAAB.

NFL:
Remember when Chris Berman selected the Seahawks to give Holmgren one more super Bowl trophy? I do, however that dream ended faster than Chris Johnson's 40 time. The Seahawks are a woeful 2-7 (and tied for second place in the NFC West

). It looks like Seattle will be picking up a top 5 draft pick next April. So let us start the debate now, Crabtree or Stafford?

MLB:
116 regular seasons win seem so long ago, but then when they lost to the Yankees in the ALCS that year even then it felt like a long time ago. Now let me think of some positive things about Seattle's season. King Felix is still good. Ummm, and then there is, well, maybe you could make an argument, or not, yea, ummm, did I mention King Felix is still good? But we did do something no other franchise has ever done! We became the first team with a payroll over 100 million to lose a hundred games! Hell Yeah!!!!! Wait....that is bad....kind of like their whole season, their worst ever.

NCAAF:
I remember almost two decades now when UW was a powerhouse year in and year out, now they have yet to win a game this year. I also remember in the early years of this decade the WSU Cougars finished in the top 10 three years in a row! We even took out Texas in the Holiday bowl one year. Now they have the worst scoring offense and worst scoring defense. They have given up 60+ points in four games this season. They have won one game against the Divivion II weak sauce school of Portland St. Sad I know. I can't wait for the Apple Cup. I predict a 20-20 tie, anyone disagree?

NBA:
The NBA is not so bad in Seattle, we have Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook(big woop!) rebuilding our team into a contender again! With draft picks and cap space up the *** we may have a shot and getting to the playoffs soon! I'm excited, hell yeah I am.....oh yeah. I forgot, we don't have an NBA team anymore. **** Clay Bennett. I was praying for a 0-82 season for the OKC Thunder, but that dream has also been squashed. Heres to 1-81!

NCAAB:
Ok now in all honesty this year could be solid for us Washingtonians. We have possibly the best Gonzaga team in a long time. When I say best, we have multiple people talking Elite Eight if not Final Four UW has Jon Brockman who is a savage and could lead the team to the NCAAs by himself. WSU will have a down year, but they still have an outside shot at the Big Dance, if not the NIT won't be too terrible for the Cougar babies. If you want to stay on a sad and bad note the EWU Eagles will be terrible again. Ever since Rodney Stuckey, and even with him, Eastern has been terrible. They have not made the Dance since 2004 as a 15 seed, which they were tied at halftime with OKST. Now let us see if the Eagles can break into the Big Sky tourney they missed the last couple of years.

Well there you have it. Please give me another year from another team that is even as close as disappointing as the year of 2008. Kudos to anyone who can think of one.
