Commentary: July 4th in sports recognizes America's greatness and constant endeavor to be even better
We celebrate the bravery, will and strength demonstrated by millions to maintain the fundamental freedoms and democracy we enjoy today. But part of that is understanding that we are still a work in progress as we strive to be "a more perfect Union," as our forefathers once wrote.

Commentary: If you’re not paying attention to the Kraken by now, it’s the perfect time to start
The NHL Playoffs, combined with the pending hire of a new head coach and upcoming expansion draft, provide a perfect time to jump on the bandwagon if you're not already.

Commentary: Not time to panic with Kelenic, but sending him back down might be prudent move
The 21-year-old has gone 0-for-39 in the last 11 games and is batting under .100. He was not in the starting lineup on Sunday.

Commentary: Disrespected by NCAA, UW Softball again led by special group with championship potential

Commentary: It might be right time, situation for Richard Sherman to return to Seahawks
Marshawn Lynch's return showed that no conflict was too great to stand in the way for a player returning to the Seahawks. It might be time that Sherman comes home too.

Commentary: Are there too many college athletes in the transfer portal? Absolutely.
I'm in favor of more rights for student-athletes and am not knocking any individual decision. But as a whole, the number of players transferring schools right now is disappointing, and it might be sending the wrong message.

Commentary: Kelenic roster move is a bad 'human' decision, but a savvy organizational move
Kelenic has arguably earned a chance to be promoted - last year and for this season's Opening Day. But now that we only have to wait about a month more, it makes a ton of sense because the M’s will now have control over their top prospect until he’s 28 years old.

Commentary: NCAA ignored all the red flags, now paying price for women’s basketball inequities
It's simply hypocritical of the NCAA to promote ideas of "Fostering Gender Equity" while continuing a trend that longtime women's basketball coaches claim has been going on for years.

Commentary: With Wilson likely staying in Seattle, time to stop giving media sharks reason to pounce
Carroll and Wilson have worked together for a decade now. Rather than agents leaking information like gossiping schoolchildren passing notes in home room, these two multimillionaire professionals need to get on the phone or meet in person and hash things out.

Commentary: Mather’s attempt at transparency ends in yet another mark against M’s organization
Sometimes the transparency we crave comes in a dastardly form. And in this case, it doesn’t shine well on a management group that’s seen its share of controversies before.

Commentary: If legacy is most important to Wilson, he’ll stay in Seattle and see things through
If the Seahawks traded Wilson before June 1, Seattle would face a $39 million dollar salary cap hit. Imagine spending more than 20 percent of a team’s salary space on a player who’s not even here!

Commentary: Seahawks need to take innovative approach with Carroll’s offensive philosophy
In a city known for its innovation – at the heart of new ideas and cutting-edge technologies – the Seahawks must be willing to take a contemporary approach to an older philosophy.

Commentary: Likely headed overseas, Jordan Morris’s time with Sounders was remarkable, truly special
We might have seen the last of Jordan Morris in a Sounders uniform for a while. Because even if it is a six-month loan, it could turn into a permanent transfer or – best case for Morris – he plays so well that a bigger team buys his rights for significant money.
