The NFL owners meetings adjourned yesterday. The daily schedules were packed, but I did manage to sneak out for Mexican food at the Tee Pee restaurant (menu) in Phoenix. I'll leave the detailed reviews to our own expert, Ed Murrieta, who actually knows what he's eating about. Suffice to say it was a treat.

The league holds its meetings at swank hotels where $15 sandwiches are the norm. Three of us ate full meals at the Tee Pee for $30, easily the most enjoyable meal of the week.

On to the business at hand: One of the themes of these meetings, from a Seattle perspective, was the Seahawks' increasing involvement on various committees, subcommittees and working groups. The chart at right shows how many of these panels each team is represented on (not all panels are created equally, but this gives a snapshot of each team's engagement). A couple years ago, Seattle was represented on only one (competition commmittee).
