The Seahawks will have a new 12th man on the team if they prevail against the Washington Redskins in Sunday's NFC wildcard playoff game.

King County Executive Dow Constantine has made a friendly wager with Rushern L. Baker III, executive of Prince George's County, Md. (Prince George's is one of several counties that border Washington, D.C., and is home to the Redskins' stadium, FedExField.)

The loser will wear the other team's jersey during a public event, and the winner will receive a case of coffee from the other city.

For more details, see the video above or at this link.

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.…Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.
