Sports fans rejoice!  Despite the close of a disappointing Mariners season, an embarrassing World Cup semi-finals loss by the US Women's soccer team and more news about Alexander's injury, the Hawks have a chance to chase away those NW blustery winds and grey skies by pounding the 49ers into the ground on Sunday.

I'm looking for Hasselbeck, Branch & Co. to bring out the Heat and take advantage of a 49er team that was humbled by Pittsburgh last week.  I want to see Tatupu and Peterson introducing Smith to field turf on a regular basis.  I want to see guys flying around and making the kind of plays that make you go "OOO!".  I want to see a blow out.

So come on Hawks--bust out the hardware so I can recapture that warm and fuzzy feeling to compliment my comfort beers!
