One Person In America Was Offended By Richard Sherman
Those post-NFC Championship days were heady times, a nation torn apart by Seahawks corner Richard Sherman being loud on television. But how many Americans were so upset, so scandalized by Sherman's actions that they actually took the time to complain? One person from Arkansas....
Fat Jesus Montero On His Offseason: "All I Did Was Eat"
Once-hot catching prospect Jesus Montero, who was shipped to Seattle by the Yankees in exchange for Michael Pineda (as of two years later, it seems like one of the fairest trades ever made), is now trying to salvage a big-league career. He's not doing a very good job of it. ...
Matt Lauer Asks Bob Costas If He'll Be Taking The Red-Eye Flight Home

Harrowing Ad Running During Olympics Advises You To Pray For Death

No, Pete Carroll Doesn't Have A "9/11" Tattoo On His Wrist
One photo taken immediately after Super Bowl XLVIII shows an unidentified Seattle Seahawk—with a "9/11" tattoo on his wrist—holding the Lombardi Trophy. One tipster asked if the ink belonged to head coach Pete Carroll, which would be interesting, considering his thoughts on the September 11th attack...
There Is A Lone 49ers Fan At The Seahawks Parade
Twitter user "49er 4 Life" is sending out photos of a man decked out in full Niners gear wandering the Seahawks parade route today.

Block Party: <em>The Lego Movie</em>, Reviewed
1. The Lego Movie is way more fun than it has any need to be. Though it never quite reaches the lunatic levels of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it has that film's same hellzapoppin' zeal, that willingness to go anywhere for a joke and that absolute insistence that it must never, ever slow down. The Lego ...
