Slick Watts Dies






Slick Watts, one of Seattle's first pro sports heroes has died.
Watts was a guard for the Seattle Super Sonics in the early to mid 70s.  Pro sports at that level where somewhat new to the area at the time.
Watts, completely bald before it became fashionable, was easily identifiable by his colorful headbands. 
A guard, he led the NBA in steels and assists.
Watts stayed in Seattle after retirement,further endearing him to fans.
I met him about nine years ago at a pub in Redmond Ridge.

Bob Rivers Dies


 Sources report the passing of retired Seattle radio personality Bob Rivers.  He was 68.  

Hired from a station in Baltimore, Rivers was perhaps amongst the last of creative radio figures, as the industry was on its way to becoming very homogenized and corporate minded.   

Rivers spent 25 years in Seattle radio starting at KISW.

He was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2023.

DK Metcalf Traded To Pittsburgh


 DK Metcalf is heading to Pittsburgh for the 2025 season.  The Seahawks will obtain a second-round draft pick from the Steelers. 
Metcalf, a Seahawk since 2019, ranks high in almost every category for all-time team players at that position. 

Metcalf has been a fan favorite, but in recent years, has drawn fire for number of penalties called against the team.
