@SeattleSportsFanatic Glad to turn the page on 2011 … I see Heismans, Peyton Manning, Prince Fielder and Super Bowls in the near future

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks lose to #Cardinals … here we go again

5 Jan

@SeattleSportsFanatic #NHL might be coming to Seattle … Going to pay more attention this fall

7 Jan

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Huskies get road win; it’s going to take Pac-12 title to get into NCAAs

13 Jan

@SeattleSportsFanatic Pineda just traded to … #YANKEES???!!! Arrggghhhh!!! Here’s betting he starts Game 1 of World Series.

15 Jan

@SeattleSportsFanatic Still think Prince Fielder gonna look good in middle of M’s lineup

24 Jan

@SeattleSportsFanatic Prince to #Tigers. Didn’t want him anyway; Justin Smoak’s better

7 Feb

@SeattleSportsFanatic New #NBA arena in Sodo? Do we get #Durant back too? Would also like Jeremy Lin

8 Feb

@SeattleSportsFanatic The Sacramento Kings? Maybe we should just stick to #NHL, thanks

14 Feb

@SeattleSportsFanatic … And I was just starting to fall in love with the #Kings

2 Mar

@SeattleSportsFanatic UW men win Pac-12 title! NCAA berth a certainty now!!!

11 Mar

@SeattleSportsFanatic What[‘]s the #NIT?

19 Mar

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks sign Matt Flynn!!! Goodbye, QB controversies!

2 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic Spring football begins. So does @KeithPrice17[‘]s #Heisman run

6 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic M[‘]s win at Oakland. Beat the worst team in baseball, but seven runs ain’t bad … and Figgy’s a STUD at top of order!

7 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic Eight more runs for M’s. Figgy hitting .412. Offense WON’T be a problem this year!!!

10 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic New #Seahawks jerseys might be ugly, but I got my personalized Matt Flynn model. A Sunday staple this fall!!!

16 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic @PeteCarroll sez Seahawks’ starting job is open, despite Flynn signing … yeah, right. And I’m Matt Damon

20 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic Six days until NFL draft. At least #Seahawks don’t need a QB!

21 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic Doing draft research. Glad we’re set at QB, because after Luck &RG3, there ain’t squat …

26 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks draft LB from state pen, where conditions were better than Penn State

27 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic Another linebacker? Who cares … with Flynn throwing pills, we don’t need defense!

@SeattleSportsFanatic Funny. Just thought I saw #Seahawks picking QB Russell Wilson on tracker … doubt that one! Stay tuned …

@SeattleSportsFanatic Must be a different Russell Wilson. The one I know is a 5-foot-6 QB from Wisconsin

@SeattleSportsFanatic Seriously? Pretty high for a career third-stringer. Leinart, Sanchez and now Wilson — @PeteCarroll don[‘]t know QBs!

28 Apr

@SeattleSportsFanatic #NBA playoffs beginning. Man, I hate @KingJames

14 May

@SeattleSportsFanatic Hahahaha!!!! @PeteCarroll sez Lil Russ Wilson will compete for starting job. Sounds like Lou Holtz talkin bout Prairie View A&M

28 May

@SeattleSportsFanatic Surprise, surprise. Flynn dominates first OTA. Get used to clipboard, T-Jack. Hope Lil Russ enjoys practice squad

2 Jun

@SeattleSportsFanatic Just got my Matt Flynn road jersey!!! Home or away, I’ll be ready this fall!

21 Jun

@SeattleSportsFanatic #NBA Finals begin. Heat vs. ex-Sonics. Man, I love @KingJames

30 Jun

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Mariners are toast. Not even the All-Star Break, and they’re already pushing daisies.

23 Jul

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Ichiro to #Yankees. Can’t believe they’re giving up on the season!

28 Jul

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks training camp opens! Let the charade of a QB competition begin. FLYNN IS THE MAN!

31 Jul

@SeattleSportsFanatic M[‘]s ain’t dead yet! One of three teams alive in AL West (sorry, A’s … can’t say we’re surprised!)

10 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic M[‘]s lose fifth in a row. Starting to feel like ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ around here.

11 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic If I hear one more thing about that midget Russell Wilson, I’m gonna puke. Move over, eighth dwarf and let Flynn run the show!

14 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic Just gave up my M’s tickets for tomorrow night. Not interested in meaningless games, thanks.

15 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic @RealKingFelix pitches perfect game. You shoulda been there. So shoulda I.

@SeattleSportsFanatic More I think about it, not that big a deal. There’ll be plenty other perfect games at Safeco. Not like they’re moving up the fences

18 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic Russell Wilson has big game. Not looking good for Tarvaris. Glad Hawks have option if Flynn gets hurt

21 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic Wilson to start vs. KC. Bet the #Disney story ends here.

24 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic OK, so the Lil QB can win a preseason game. When Flynn gets healthy, he’ll be starting opener.

26 Aug

@SeattleSportsFanatic Wilson will START THE REGULAR SEASON??? Too small, too young, too inexperienced. @PeteCarroll officially on the hot seat.

1 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic Huskies open with SD State, healthy @KeithPrice17. Let Heisman campaign begin!

8 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic LSU 41, UW 3. @KeithPrice17 fighting uphill battle for Heisman

9 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic Hawks lose to Cardinals??? Russell Wilson throws for 154??? Hate to say I told you so. But I told you so.

16 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic Seahawks win IN SPITE OF Russell Wilson. KJR’s Hugh Millen is right: HE’S NOT AN NFL STARTER!!!

24 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic Waiting for replay, but positive Golden Tate caught that ball!!!

@SeattleSportsFanatic Golden Tate had a finger on it. Maybe two. What’s the rule anyway? Still waiting for ruling …

@SeattleSportsFanatic Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! I LOVE replacement refs!!!

25 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic What[‘]s the big deal? It’s not like the #Seahawks haven’t gotten robbed before

26 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic #NFL reaches deal with refs. Not good for #Seahawks’ playoff chances

27 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Huskies beat Stanford!!!! Rose Bowl, here we come!!!!

30 Sep

@SeattleSportsFanatic Lost to the #Rams??? Coulda used the replacement refs … and A REAL QB!!!

1 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic Seriously, bench Russell Wilson already. Or fire @PeteCarroll. This is getting ridiculous

5 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic I think I hate Russell Wilson. Really.

6 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic I hate Oregon more. Ducks lambast #Huskies again. @KeithPrice17 stinks.

7 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic Hawks win a road game! Best D in the NFL! Lil Russ throws two ints, scores just 16 pts. Is it Flynn time NOW?

8 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic @PeteCarroll sticking with Russell Wilson. Seriously. Only guy madder than me is Hugh Millen

10 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Yankees lose to #Tigers! Best baseball game ever. A-Rod benched, Rauuuuuul wins game. Why’d M’s let Ibanez go?

13 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic U-Dub loses to SC. Oh, if only the #Huskies still had Jake Locker. Or Nick Montana.

14 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic Wilson leads comeback over Pats!!! Maybe @PeteCarroll was ri … was righhh … was … oh, I can’t even say it

15 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic I[‘]m almost ready to admit that I can tolerate Russell Wilson

18 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic Wilson: 9-for-23 in loss to #49ers. Dude shouldn’t even be in the league! BTW, Hawks are toast

28 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic Hawks lose to #Lions. What’s the 2013 draft look like? Matt Barkley would look good in blue-and-lime-green

30 Oct

@SeattleSportsFanatic What[‘]s wrong with #Seahawks’ D? Can they stop anybody???

4 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic Adrian Peterson is killing us!!!

@SeattleSportsFanatic Russell Wilson saves the day! This defense couldn’t stop a wind-up mouse

7 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Jets coming to town. Russell Wilson is better than Tebow. And Sanchez. But not Flynn.

11 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks hammer Jets. Coulda won it with Nancy Wilson at QB

16 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic Hawks get bye week. Back in playoff mix? Wish I had more faith in Russell Wilson getting us there.

25 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic Forget it. #Dolphins beat Hawks. #Russell Wilson is OVERRATED!!!

26 Nov

@SeattleSportsFanatic Okay, so maybe I overreacted. But, seriously, why isn’t Flynn playing by now?

1 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Bears[‘] D could be too much for little rookie from Wisconsin

2 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic RUSSELL WILSON!!! RUSSELL WILSON!!! RUSSELL WILSON!!! RUSSELL WILSON!!!

3 Dec

4 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic Andrew Luck or RG3 for rookie of the year? What about RUSSELL WILSON!!! RUSSELL WILSON!!!

6 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic Playoffs are a lock. I never lost faith.

9 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Cardinals just got two big pass plays on opening drive. Gonna be a long day.

@SeattleSportsFanatic 4th quarter, Matt Flynn sighting. Better find one of my No. 15 jerseys. I smell mothballs.

@SeattleSportsFanatic 58-0??? Nobody wants a part of this team right now!!! Too early to talk Super Bowl?

16 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic 50 more points. Sure glad we didn’t sign Peyton Manning. Russell Wilson’s already BETTER!!!!

22 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic I bet you’ve never heard of the Vegas Bowl before.

@SeattleSportsFanatic Double or nothing @KeithPrice17 ends this one by throwing an … there it is. Dawgs lose

23 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic Russell and Co. blowing out the #49ers. NFC West not done yet!!!

@SeattleSportsFanatic ONLY 42 points? What is this, a Seahawks’ slump?

24 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic First Jason Bay. Then Raul Ibanez. Mariners are gonna have a heck of an offense … in 2006

25 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic Got my Russell Wilson jersey for Xmas, baby!!!

30 Dec

@SeattleSportsFanatic Smell win over Rams, playoff success and Super Bowl run. Sure glad we didn’t go with Matt Floyd … or Flynn … or whatever his name was

@SeattleSportsFanatic #Seahawks, #Mariners, #Huskies on verge of big things. Didn’t happen in 2012, but 2013 WILL BE OUR YEAR … right? Right???
