Rock musician Duff McKagan may not be a Seattle native (he hails from Glasgow, Scotland), but he is as knowledgeable and passionate about Seattle sports as anyone I know. We need more fans like him. Recently, Duff wrote an article about the current demise of the teams in our town. He also participated in an online chat session with fans at espn.com. I highly encourage reading both pieces.
Duff says some things that many of us are thinking. He's extremely hurt by the departure of the Sonics, he mentions a run-in where Tony LaRussa expressed interest in coaching the M's (how bout that?!?), and he rightly slams the Huskies as looking like a junior college squad.
You should really give these pieces a moment because, by writing his article for the Seattle Weekly, Duff has brought the issue of sports in our town to an audience that usually wouldn't care. It is this type of dedication to our teams that helps to build a great sporting culture in our town.
Thanks Duff, and here's to our city, our town and our sporting future.
