At one time, there were two gigantic concrete arena domes in the Northwest. Our Yakima Valley SunDome and Seattle's Kingdome. It's hard to imagine that it's been 17 years since its destruction, but its implosion still is a must-see video of the day.

The AFC & NFC Championship games were this weekend, leaving two teams to square off for Super Bowl LI: the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. Who do you think will win?

We're guessing this week's Couples Court case will resonate with a lot of you guys. It's the old she-says-one-thing-but-means-another quandary. Here's the file ...   Dear Rik and Michele: My girlfriend is driving me crazy and I don't know what to do. ...

OK, football fans: Time to show your true colors for a chance to score a couple of tickets to the Oct. 16 Seattle-Atlanta game at CenturyLink Field! What do you have to do? Same thing you do every game day anyway: gear up!

Ironically Todd and I just drove back yesterday afternoon after a day at the Seattle Seahawks training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton when, just before we turn into the Townsquare Media parking lot, we spot this car proudly pe

He'll be at the restaurant, 3907 River Road, from 4:30-6 p.m. I cannot wait!

First off, full disclosure, for those who don't know I'm a Los Angeles Rams fan and have been since I was 5. That said I've never been more impressed with a fan base than I have with the Seahawks fans here in Yakima. In fact I'll bet per capita there are more Seahawks fans here than Seattle...

On Sept. 21 of 1970, football's signature night was born: "Monday Night Football!" Even if people cannot seem to watch a Thursday game or even some of the Sunday football games, they are sure to catch the Monday Night Football game no matter who is playing!
