Bad News Bears For Seattle Seahawks?

The 6-5 Seattle Seahawks travel to Chicago, for the fourth time in three seasons, to face the 8-3 Chicago Bears. Apparently NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, has been too busy turning the league into flag football in recent seasons to notice this scheduling oversight. Granted, one of the visits occurred during the 2010 NFC Playoffs, but it seems reasonable to have Bears visit Seattle...

Seahawks fans, I’ve been pushing sleep lately. Seahawks followers, I do not need you to pinch me. I know I’m awake, enjoying the inverse effect of sleep inertia, that grogginess one feels when waking and attempting to go about normal routines when the body’s temperature is still cooler than in it’s average state. Here’s something else I know little or nothing about: sleep...
