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.

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.
