Seattle columnist Steve Kelley - I hope you eat every word

And with seattle having field turf there wont be any mud either.

Exactly.

If anything, the Skins are built to be a wet-weather team. Slug it out, battle in the trenches type football.

On the article, I think we all need to lighten up a bit. It was just a joke. Maybe some of the jokes were bad, but he's just coming back playfully at Tony K.

I'll never get those three minutes of my life back! Thanks alot!

he's trying to imitate TK, and he sucks at it, he totally missed the point.

I guess the liberal, Pacific coast sensibility means Marion Barry is off limits. A Philadelphia or New York writer would have gotten in a dig about the "crackhead mayor". (who's apparently back at it)

This has reinforced my absolute hatred for all things West Coast. I know there are Seattle Redskins Fans here, but pieces like this one beg the question: What the hell is taking that GD earthquake so long?

Also the criticism of our beloved team name takes some balls. What the hell is a Seahawk anyway? I think they made it up. Any science types want to back me up here?

that sounded like it was written by someone with the maturity of 13 year old. Some writers are actually capable of coming up with some funny stuff, even about the skins, but that just reminded me of the ending scene from billy madison and I now feel somewhat more stupid for having read the peice.

I just love how people get so worked up over SPITTING.

so ****ing what. there's no harm in spittin, at least ST didn't deck the guy. grow the **** up.

Yep some guys talk shit.
Too bad we gotta go all the way out to the west coast to kick their ass!
GO REDSKINS!!!

He sounded like his party lost the last 2 elections, to bad!

Hmmm. I'd say if your compared the two columns there is a reason that TK is famous and this guy isn't. TK at least has talent. His article was mildly entertaining and original. This guy's article simply rehashes most of the regular media bashing on people in Washington and was really not that good. I'd have laughed if it was even remotely good. It wasn't.These articles are boring and are only entertaining in proportion to the talent of the writer, so Edge: Kornheiser.

I grew up in DC and have lived elsewhere as an adult, first in Chicago, later, and mostly, in Boston. And I am amused (and by amused, I mean irritated and annoyed) at how people confuse the itinerant windbags who come from their states to DC with the accountants, doctors, carpenters, salepeople, municipal workers, waiters, cab drivers, bank tellers, lawyers, and plumbers who make up 99.9% of the population of the DC metropolitan area and whose residency does change with the party of the current administration. The people who befoul the good name of our nation's capital from places like Califorinia (Nixon) and Illinois (Rostenkowski) and Texas (DeLay) and, of course, the sodden state of Washington (Bob "I love the way these gals shake their butts after I've had five whiskey rocks" Packwood).

There is plenty to tease Washington, DC about - Marion "That bitch set me up" Berry, DC's inability to hold on to a baseball team (and, having finally gotten one, putting it as risk by not honoring previous agreements), exploding manhole covers, mustard gas canisters buried in our backyards (and by our backyards, I mean your backyards), the Washington Wizards (remember Elvin Hayes? that was great), the Washington Capitals (remember Rod Langway, that was great), and our inability to drive in the snow.

But the misbehavior of people who come from their own states, that is no laughing matter.

Except to us.
