5 is finally coming to an end, and even though all years are almost the same length, this year felt much longer than it was. The Seahawks lost a playoff game to a quarterback with a bad thumb before an abysmal 2021 regular season. The Sounders finished second in the MLS Western Conference before a first-round playoff exit and the Kraken began their NHL journey and are last in the Pacific Division entering 2022. There were some bright spots in 2021, with the Mariners exceeding all...

It’s the end of November, and for the decade before this, it usually meant fans of the Seattle Seahawks watching the team jockey for playoff position and getting ready for a postseason game. But this year, fans have seen a much different product on the field. Seattle is 3-8 and even with a Washington Football Team in the seventh and final playoff spot at 5-6, the playoff chances for Seattle are slim, especially after a 17-15 loss to the Football Team. As a lifelong Seahawks fan, this season h...
