Here is a link to a video of Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis tossing a snow boulder into the stands at Qwest Field. I did not see it happen because I was following Mike Holmgren around the stadium, but I have to assume it was in response to all the snowballs aimed at Jets players as they heading into the tunnel following the game.
Here is a really well-done slideshow of the game put together by our multimedia department. If you get the chance, make sure you look at picture No. 10, of Julian Peterson about the avalanche Matt Cassel. It's a nice shot.
Here is a minute and a half of Matt Hasselbeck answering questions in his postgame press conference. As you can probably see, he seems a bit out of it. After the last question, he partially describes his thinking on his last interception.

Before we came to Miami, Dave Boling told me that in 1996, he played Rolling Hills Golf Club, which is where they filmed the fantastically perfect movie, "Caddyshack." The course has changed to a private club named Grande Oaks, but I placed a call to the Golf Pro. told him I'd love to play the course and put something on the blog, and he agreed to let me play the course.
As a result, me and my friend Rod Mar, the Seattle Times photographer, set off on Saturday to relive one of the greatest movies of all time. Here is the funny part: As we are in the golf shop chatting up the guy at the desk, Bill Parcells comes shooting in with a pair of sunglasses in his hand, throws them on the counter and says, "These are somebodys." I looked at Rod and said, "Did that just happen?"
Parcells was on the putting green, so I introduced myself, told him why we were in town and explained that we were just talking about him because he holds Mike Holmgren's dream job. "I sure do like Coach Holmgren," Parcells said. That was the extent of it.
I then filmed as much of the experience as I could. Take a look.
This is a video of Matt Hasselbeck walking out to practice, as well as a portion of Mike Holmgren's subsequent news conference announcing that Hasselbeck is not likely to play against the Packers on Sunday.
Three months after 9/11 happened, the Sonics were playing the Knicks in New York, which afforded me the opportunity to go to the bombing site. Incredibly, even three months later, fires were still burning and the entire area smelled of smoke. I decided, seven years later, to visit the site again, and this time I took some video of the excursion down there.
