Happy Birthday to my man Mack Strong (b. 9/11/71), the All-Pro badass who spent his entire 15-year career (1993-2007) blasting open holes to 1,000-yard seasons for Chris Warren (thrice), Ricky Watters (thrice again) and Shaun Alexander (five times).

Joe Tafoya (b. 9/5/78) of Pittsburg, CA, a reserve defensive end for Seattle from 2005-2006, and a continuing champion of the 12th Man's crowd noise world records.

Bob Cryder (b. 9/7/56), a starting offensive lineman (mostly at guard) from 1984-86.

Tom Catlin (9/8/31-6/7/08), Seattle's defensive coordinator under Chuck Knox (1983-92), who put together the second-best D in Seahawk history.

I have to admit I lost a little respect for Mack Strong when I received a recorded phone message from him a few years back urging me to re-elect George W. Bush...
