Our Seahawks monster, Mike Sando, works his tail off to chart each of the Hawks' games with Excel spreadsheets. As a result, he ends up with data and statistics that can't be found anywhere else. This is one of the reasons the blog is so successful.

Leading up to this week's game in Chicago, one of the Second City's sportswriters thought it would be OK to use some of that proprietary data for his own. Tsk, tsk. The correction ran today.

I don't know all the details on how this happened, but let's hope that it didn't stem from someone deciding information posted in a blog - outside the traditional media format - doesn't deserve appropriate attribution.

Poppycock, I say. If it's good information, it's good information, no matter where it was first published.
