C olumn as I see ’em …
This is the time of year the sports world dumbs down. If April is the cruelest month, February is the dopiest.
Just because the Mariners aren’t supposed to contend for a playoff berth in 2012 doesn’t mean it’ll be a free-pass summer for general manager Jack Zduriencik.

The best and worst of Super Bowl XLVI …
Among the reasons I prefer baseball to all other sports is the sheer constancy of the schedule.
A recruiting maven I’m not. But once upon a time, while working the mid-morning desk shift for an afternoon newspaper in Columbia, Mo., I put together a never-seen list of maybe 20 NCAA Division I football prospects headed toward the University of Missouri.

Another Super Bowl between the Giants and Patriots brings to mind what Mark Twain once said about composer Richard Wagner.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins’ college basketball career was, oh, maybe five seconds old on Saturday when the Huskies’ freshman set a pick on Stanford’s Jarrett Mann.
During the week since Jack Zduriencik traded for Yankees catcher Jesus Montero, I have come to the conclusion that Montero – and, more importantly, the Mariners – will be better served if he never catches a game in a Seattle uniform.
