Of course, it'll all be for naught if they end the season 2-14
Right now the Seahakws are 2-0, top of the division, as are Liverpool and the Sounders in English and US footy. On September 17 2013, everything in sport looked great.

The Bears may top the NFC north, but that's probably about as good as it gets for Chicago at the mo. Glad as I am that we have an MLS franchise, I don't see the Fire being major challengers just yet.

The Chicago 'fire'. Is the mascot a cow?

Summer was great in Seattle this year. No rain for the whole of July and only 2-3 days of August had any. All that with pretty much a permanent 80F during the day, not too hot and not too cold.

Something neither myself or anyone I know of the native population has ever remarked on. I should restrict that to females though, men may differ.
