If you want to know more...

Sports were my life when I was a kid. The ball changed with the season. I played it all, but my passion was and always has been football.

I was an undersized linebacker with tenacity, and the fundamentals and foot speed to make up for my lack of bulk.

Defense was always my thing and I am confident I should have continued playing but alas, I discovered drumming and what being in a gigging rock band was like at the early age of 14, so my sports aspirations took a backseat.

From that early age of 14 until I was about 30, music was my life. I have played all kinds of music and released two solo CDs. My wife provides most of my discography here:
http://shimmerglimpse.squarespace.com/shimmerglimpse/2005/8/19/ode-to-chris-farmer.html

I play drums, guitar, bass, piano and anything available, all self taught.

Most people in the "underground" music world know me as the drummer from the band Breadwinner:

I still play music recreationally, one improv project here:

Good work Chris. The return of Gerald Hayes couldn't come at a better time! There is really only 1 key to this game, and thats stopping...

JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

Yea well stats can also be misleading. The Seahawks are 2-3 when the could be 3-2 or even 4-1.

Matt will start to turn on the lights in Seattle and make this city rock.

Chris Colinsworth: He rocked and the ball rolled.

It will be fun

Yea I was looking for the IR (injury reports) and I couldnt find if he was in or out.

Yea hope its a little more competitive than the Seattle v Jacksonville game.

32nd in pass defense, 27th in overall defense doesnt look good for a pass heavy Seahawks offense.

should be good
