As well as Boston where he was player-coach for the Celtics until 1969, Russell also coached the Seattle Super Sonics for 4 years beginning in 1973 and remained a resident of this area.
Wright, who played on two Super Bowl Seahawk teams, played for the Raiders last year after the Seahawks were not able to sign him.
Wright played his college ball at Mississippi State.
Jackson can be remembered in this for running roughshod over the Seattle Seahawks, including sprinting into the Kingdome tunnel after a 91 yard touchdown run. Needless to say, he didn't make many friends with the 12th man.
But that was then and now, Jackson's unselfish act should earn him fans.
Movieland is not about the Hollywood movie scene as much as it's about a series of shootings and murders in a popular Los Angeles area place known as Malibu Creek Park. It had a history of having movie scenes shot (no pun intended) there, which is probably how the book got its title.
Eve Ronin is a young detective in the Los Angeles County Sherriff's office who is "married" to her job. Her partner is a veteran cop named Duncan "Doughnuts" Pavone, who is weeks away from retirement. Ronin has alienated herself from much of the force for uncovering a police scandal and that really comes into play in the book.
This book is an excellent "who done it" where anyone and everyone could be the culprit. There is great imagery and intrigue.
I started recommending this book before I even finished. It is so good that I just ordered the first book of Goldberg's Eve Ronin series, Lost Hills.

Today, for instance, I learned this morning is National Daiquiri Day. Once upon a time, that was my favorite drink, however, as years go by, it had lost favor to margaritas and wine.

The team had a rather dismal start to this season. It was 37-42 before its current tear.
The station featured the return to the air of Pat O'Day, who owned KYYX. The post features in article from the Tacoma News Tribune from June 19th, 1984.
The station had its studios in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle.
The Mariners had to come from behind twice, but the balls seem to be bouncing their way lately, an example was when Mariner Sam Haggerty grounded into what looked like a routine double play. With the bases loaded, after getting the lead runner out, the ball went through the webbing of Toronto first baseman Vladimir Guerrero's glove. No runs scored, but Julio Rodriguez who it was just announced, was picked for this year's All-Star Game, followed up with a 2 run single.
Of course, the possible sale of a team can cause restlessness amongst the fan base and especially among Seahawk fans, where the Ken Behring regime, pretty much threw "cold water" on a rabid fans base.
There had been talk about sale of the team since it was there was talk that Paul Allen's assets were to be liquidated. When a report got out that Nike chair Phil Knight was interesting in buying the Blazers, concerns mounted about the Hawks.
Allen did say that sales of both teams could be down the road as the estate of the Microsoft billionaire is getting settled.
UCLA's John Wooden (above) was known as the Wizard Of Westwood (the LA neighborhood that boasts the school), a cerebral coach, who rarely changed his expression, Wooden led the Bruins to 10 NCAA championships in 12 years. Two of his great players are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lew Alcindor) and Bill Walton.
USC's John McKay (lower picture) captured 8 conference titles, with 5 Rose Bowl wins. McKay also had 4 national titles. His marquee players included OJ Simpson and Mike Garrett. Another USC legend, Marcus Allen, would play for John Robinson, who took over the program after McKay moved on to the NFL.
Throughout the decades, UCLA would be the basketball team to beat and USC would be known for its football. Almost like there was a sign on the LA freeway, basketball players this way, football players, that way.
Of course, Seattle Seahawk coach Pete Carroll is widely credited for restoring USC's football dynasty.
Now, we have learned that both LA schools are leaving the Pac 12. For a WSU fan like myself, there is an air of uncertainty of what will happen next.
Bosch won for Best Soft Radio Feature on the first rehearsal on the first in person rehearsal of the Seattle women's choir since COVID restrictions and Best Public Service Announcement, covering Gold Star Moms.
Heather had been a reporter and fill in anchor for CBS Radio, but eventually returned to the area and her old station.
