As your resident Minnesota Vikings fan I thought I’d throw this out for discussion since there are undoubtedly some passionate Seahawk fans here at SonicsRising.

Reports from John Clayton say that the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to trade (can’t happen until tomorrow IIRC) Percy Harvin to the Seahawks for a 2013 1st round pick, 2013 7th round pick, and a mid round pick next year. Continue reading →

Here’s some info about me:
Name: Big Chris
Personal Blog: Because I said so
Age: 30

I became a Sonics fan in 1984 in a rather strange way. I was at a youth basketball camp (Sioux Falls, SD) and each team we were put on got the name of an NBA team. I was on the Sonics. I had never heard of the Sonics. So I did a bit of investigating at the local library and I was hooked. Learned all about the championship team. Learned where the name came from (hey, I was in 4th grade). I fell in love with the team, and to this day I stand as a green blooded Sonics fan. My friends used to think I was nuts, suggesting I find a team closer to home to cheer for. I stayed true though. I am a T-wolves fan by proxie, and I refuse to cheer for the Lakers on principle.

In real life I am a Seminary student, and a member of the vast right wing conspiracy (which I realize puts me in the minority here…hehehe….). I have been a professional backpacking guide, I played football in college, and I used to lift weights competitively. I’m getting married at the end of the year, and I like brownies.
