Seahawks' Kenny McIntosh: Battling for No. 3 role
McIntosh is competing with undrafted rookie George Holani for the No. 3 running back spot, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Washington Bracing for Bitter Cold in Latest Winter Outlook
We haven't fiished with Summer yet, and predictions are already in for Winter. Winter isn't my favorite season, which is why this Minnesota gal moved to the West coast. Personally, Fall is my favorite, followed by Spring, Summer, and THEN, Winter. As a young child, when the first snow fell, we prayed there would be enough for sledding. Of course, in Minnesota, sometimes snow arrived as early as Halloween. What a joy that was!
