I thought longer than I needed to. The answer is easy to the question "What is the biggest fail in 2008."#1: Seattle Professional Sports.
There is a not a whole lot I want to write here, mainly because I think this article from the New York Times sums it up pretty well.The Mariners had a $117,000,000+ dollar payroll, only to lose 100+ games, the first time it has happened in MLB history. Hopefully new management will take the team in a better direction for 2009.
The Sonics, left. And they are terrible now as the Oklahoma City Thunder with a record of 3wins and 24 losses. I have a few bones to pick with their logos, colors, and uniforms. First off.. their logo looks like "a Guitar Pick skiing down a mountain of suck." And their colors are Orange, Yellow, Sky Blue, and Darker Blue. What uniform screams the epicness of thunder like this. Anyways. Clay Bennet should die of Gonorrhea and rot in hell.
And Finally The Seahawks: No, they weren't predicted to win the Super Bowl. But going 3-11 in their first 14 games is a major disappointment for the 4 time NFC West Champions. On top of it all, it is 10 year Head Coach Mike Holmgren's last season in Seattle.
At least we get to look forward to Sounders FC, our new MLS Soccer Team.
I also don't feel the need to mention the 0-12 UW Football team, that is an epicfail that doesn't deserve any place on my blog.
Other Failures this year include:
The Economy, The Republican Party.

love the ace ventura reference.
I love the MSPaint work there on the Sonics logo. Reminds me of something you'd see on Gizmodo.
Lol me too Chris. I also enjoyed that I used the "Impact" font for Fail, Instead of the cooler downloaded font I'm using for everything else.
Yep. You picked the right thing. At least on the local level.
Erin: yeah, I realize that there were probably bigger fails out there, like Banks and the Economy... or in a sense "Peace" with the terrorist attacks in India. But as for a sports fan in Seattle, this year was the worst.
