Football

Yes, we old folks had fun before video games came out. I came of age as video games were making their debut on the world market. Pong was a fixture at drugstore entrances when I was about 10 so I don't take being able to play Madden 17 on my iPhone for granted because my experience provides the context of how far we've come...

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! Yup, in our Ultimate 12th Fan Contest -- sponsored by Yakima's Pacific Northwest University -- all you need to do is send us a photo of yourself (or your pet, your car, your hou

According to Forbes Magazine the annual revenue generated from Fantasy Football has reached $70 Billion. Yes, that's billion with a b. Fantasy Football has existed for a few decades but it really took off with the proliferation of the internet...

Every year we here at KATS and Townsquare Media work with Bill Harris Used Cars to put on "10 Deeds In 10 Days" to benefit various charities in the Yakima Valley. This year we'll be hosting a new "deed" at KATSfm.com... It'll be the Rock N Roll Celebrity Auction tentatively scheduled for October 3rd through the 7th...

Back in June the Tri-Cities Fever played the Billings Wolves and I was able to catch up with an old friend who played for the Wolves after a game. His name is Taylor Genuser. He's 6'3" and about 225 lbs without an ounce of fat. He can throw the ball over the moon and by "over the moon" I mean about 70 yards which is good, even for an NFL quarterback...

In this day and age, coaches usually look past some of the mistakes that players have made. Most of the time, they want to make sure they have a winning team. I am sure if it is really bad, then the kids would be in trouble. That is not the case for a football coach in Utah.

In a blog I wrote on March 12th I talked about many of the homemade displays of Seahawks "12" logos you'll find throughout the Yakima Valley. 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

I'm fully aware that this post will rile up the Seahawk faithful whom I have the utmost respect for because I've never seen a city or state support their team like the 12's do here in Yakima. That said, I've been a Rams fan since I was 5....

Yakima will be full of true 12th Man spirit this Sunday (May 29), when Seattle Seahawks tackle Justin Britt will be in town to help put on a football camp for kids. He is also doing a meet-and-greet with the public at the River Road McDonald's. 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...

The Seattle Seahawks took on the Arizona Cardinals in Sunday night's NFL game. It was a loss for the Seahawks, and the Cardinals couldn't be happier. The backup QB for the Cardinals issued some serious hilarity as the Cardinals went in for a touchdown.

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!
