If you do your Seattle sports homework, you'll find an NHL championship, NBA championship, two NCAA football championships (1991 being more recent than UGA's 1980 claim), even WNBA, NCAA volleyball and NCAA track championships in the past couple of years (although those are digging deep to count) and countless runner-up finishes from a NCAA basketball championship loss at Seattle U, Superbowl XL loss, NBA Championship loss, etc. But hey, the Braves did win a title in 1995, congrats! 42 I stand corrected. Seattle is definitely a great sports town-- maybe even the greatest. I'm not sure what swayed my opinion, but maybe it was realizing what a powerhouse they are in the NCAA track and NCAA volleyball. LMAO! So yeah, you sound pretty pitiful, citing your long list of runner-ups and near misses, with your lone accolade being a 17-year old UW football title-- unless you really want to count the volleyball and track stuff. For crying out loud, you brought the WNBA into this. Please turn in your man card at the nearest drinking establishment--- NOT starbucks. 4375611 2009-02-18T11:06:22-05:00 489 Maxs 29513 I stand corrected.

I would say that Seattle is more of a sports town than where you are from. Don't start flapping your jawing until you start comparing all of the sport titles. Come off the back hills of Arkansas sometime!!!!!!!! 4383317 2009-02-17T14:44:35-05:00 4 CA bravesfan86 Fresno 648601 13 Yeah, I was right the first time you fool.

Like the man says, GOOGLE IT, YOU MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4382443 2009-02-18T08:35:03-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/167/851/thumb/101_0342.jpg 31 GA AllDayJ Smyrna 168151 99 I can kind of see what is going on here. The Seattle fans are all kind of heart broken that Griffey did not choose them kind of like the Braves fans are hurt that Smoltzie didn't choose us and went to *gasp* the Red Sox. I think both of us will feel a lot better when, 20 games into the season, they are both on the DL. Even though it will suck a little bit more for Braves fans since Griffey is now on our team. I really do want to see both of them do well and I don't care how much Frank Wren tries to justify not offering Smoltz a couple more million to keep him, that one will always sting. 4380686 2009-02-18T08:24:28-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/565/087/thumb/Tawny_Fox.jpg 405 ME Mason1313 South Portland 565567 98 I respect Griffey and his decision. Family first and baseball for fun. He is a class act and I hope he helps the braves this year. 4380604 2009-02-18T08:19:10-05:00 2 PA cealcuga Temple 710646 97 just don't know how healthy he really is.But it is a hitter's park,if healthy 34hrs&amp;105rbi would be good. He is not going to put those numbers but he could end up with around 25 hrs and 85 to 90 RBIs and play around 90 to 100 games 4380574 2009-02-18T08:08:41-05:00 2 PA cealcuga Temple 710646 96 Pujols is the slugger with the most class in baseball today. Griffey is a great player but he will not put the Braves into the playoffs. In most cases I would say he would sell tickets but the Braves are one of the worst at filling seats as stated earlier, even when they were good. I do not consider Atlanta a great sports town when it comes to fans. Sorry gotta love St. Louis! Finally somebody just got it., You just gave us the reason why Omar Minaya and the New York Mets are not going after Manny Ramirez., yes that is the answer., Delgado will be gone in 1 more season and Pujols will end up going to the Mets. Is not Pujols also from Domenican Republic as Omar Minaya or what Baseball is staring to know., is not Pujols another &quot;Minaya??s kid&quot; 4380531 2009-02-18T07:48:16-05:00 151 VA BigEofnd Leesburg 708247 95 Redskins liscensed home is LOUDON VA . Check it go ahead We have two baseball teams that are just as bad as yours. Va Tech would beat UW today ? Im sorry im too interested in football in 1960 or a share of a title in 1991 I guess i Should be afraid of your cross country team but someone would have to watch the sport first. Washington Wizards vs OKC Thunder December the 27th , 104 to 95 wizards win. Come on man bring this whit battle you speak of because have been quite sad 4380366 2009-02-18T02:33:10-05:00 63 WA Spreezy Tacoma 615619 J GRIZZLE on this post i would like to declare you the winner for telling the dude who brought wnba into the conversation to turn in his mancard to the nearest drinking establishment and clarifying that it couldnt be a starbucks. but with the post listed above mine i once agian say STAY CLASSY SEATTLE . I will talk all the mother ###### #### i woul like to about seattle and ok dear ### who like the ####. VA TECH &gt; UW , UVA &gt; WSU , SKINS&gt; Seahawks and the Wizards&gt; ?. Im sure it is a great place to live but if you would like to see a team that does well you should probably move to LA. STAY CLASSY SEATTLE 80 FedEx Field, home of the Redskins, is in Maryland, not Virginia. Wizards play in DC, and they suck balls, even worse than the OKC Thunder. I wouldn't be repping VaTech, home of the Vick Brothers (class acts). Further, Virginia Tech has never won an NCAA championship IN ANY SPORT!!! I know you're a little &quot;slow&quot; so I'll repeat that for you. They..haven't...won...****...ever. I don't get it man, you diss the Mariners and gave props to the Braves (but not the Orioles? what's the deal with not claiming your closest geographical team), have to go across the Potomac for your NBA and NFL teams, and claim VaTech is better than UW, yet **** Tech has no NCAA championships. Hmm, interesting. Another reason UW is better than VaTech - students don't go crazy and shoot up the school at UW. Probably because they can walk through the gym and Husky Stadium and see trophies. I win. 4380056 2009-02-18T07:33:15-05:00 151 VA BigEofnd Leesburg 708247 FedEx Field, home of the Redskins, is in Maryland, not Virginia.

You using that to argue that VA sucks is sad. Im glad your such a knowledgeable sports fan that you resort to such a low. Good job im sure that made you feel good about yourself when you typed it last night. 4380389 103 <p><strong>Ken Griffey Jr.</strong> is telling friends he will choose the Braves over the Mariners, sources said.<br /><br />Griffey's decision has come down to Atlanta or Seattle, where he spent his first 11 major league seasons. The 39-year-old has been favoring the Braves for family reasons, as his permanent home is located in Orlando, Fla. <br /><br />The 13-time All-Star was hampered by a knee injury last season and hit just .249 with 18 homers and 71 RBIs for the Reds and White Sox.<br /><br />The <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution</em> reported earlier on Tuesday that Griffey and the Braves are very close to making an official agreement.</p> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 51021
