Steve Zakuani has forgiven Brian Mullen
Steve Zakuani is an amazing human being. Ever since he first started talking about the injury that has so far left him with a nasty scar, already cost him a year of his career and quite possibly changed him as a footballer forever, he's opted for the high road. In talking to the media before Saturday's game, which should be the first time Brian Mullan will face the Seattle Sounders since he threw that ill-advised tackle, Zakuani urged fans to be forgiving, too.
"I want the fans to understand that I have no issues with the guy," Zakuani said about Mullan. "It’s not like we had some previous history and he came into to do it. He just made a bad tackle."
Clearly, Mullan is going to be booed. No pleas from authority are going to stop that. From the moment he's introduced and likely every time he touches the ball, derision will rain down from every corner of CenturyLink Field. This is sports, after all, and booing the perceived villain is just part of the norm all around the world.
From where I sit, there's nothing wrong with a loud chorus of boos. It's what Mullan expects. It's what the Rapids expect. It's what Zakuani, the Sounders and everyone else in the stadium knows will happen.
It can't be allowed to be more than that, though. I hate to be "that guy", but nothing good can come out of throwing anything at Mullan. Save the threats of violence for your private thoughts. Let's be bigger than that.
Perhaps the best punishment is complete silence.

Ebert's Lockout Review
It's a mission so impossible that not even the U.S. Marines can do the job. No, this one will take - don't hold your breath - yes, One Man. the invention of the One Man Movie has been one of the handiest story devices to come along since the Fruit Cart. All I need is to quote two sentences from the trailer, and in your mind, you know exactly how the Deep-Voiced Trailer Guy sounds when he says them: "My daughter... is on a goodwill mission on that station. there's only One Man who can get her out... Snow!"

Chef/owner Hajime Sato of West Seattle’s sustainable sushi joint Mashiko is now also making burgers at his Georgetown Katsu Burger. In a seemingly impossible new-burger-twist, Sato’s are tonkatsu style: a beef patty (or chicken or pork cutlet, all growth hormone– and antibiotic-free) that is dipped in tempura batter, coated with panko, deep-fried, and served on a bun with cabbage, red onion, tomatoes, and pickles. Shoestring fries and chicken nuggets are served with condiments like wasabi mayo and dried seaweed flakes. The mammoth Mt. Fuji burger—with multiple patties, bacon, cheese, and egg, and more—is probably best left unsurmounted.
Another good read is the attempt to scale Mt. Fuji
