Lynch's Run Shook the Earth

This is pretty amazing. Marshawn Lynch's crazy run Saturday caused an earthquake.

Yes, that's correct, an earthquake. The roar of the crowd caused a small tremor near Quest Field, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. Check out the picture on the above link. And here's a seismic timeline of Lynch's run.

"We looked at the stations nearby and one station in particular just clearly showed the crowd roaring," said John Vidale, director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

I don't know if Lynch's run is the greatest ever, but I don't know of any others that caused the earth to move.

All the stars and planets lined up for the Seahawks last weekend......great, kudos to them, but they are spent....emotionally and physically......look for the Bears to win by 3 TD's or more!

LSU's Tommy Hodson hit Eddie Fuller for a TD pass to win the game on the last play, and crowd roar set off the local seismigraffs. It is known as the "Earthquake Game" in LSU lore.

Seattle won the game, but the Saints get what they deserved with that lousy tackling effort. The Saints have had really bad tackling games several times all season. Something is really wrong there.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:
