An alumnus of Washington State University's Edward R. Murrow College of Communication, Lewis is a sports journalist working at Sportspress Northwest. He spent his first three years in Pullman at the school newspaper writing his weekly column "Backrow Banter" while covering the WSU baseball team. His opinion piece in the fall of 2011 on Cougars football, "The Campus That Cried Wulff" received attention from media outlets throughout the Northwest. The column called for the immediate dismissal of former WSU head coach Paul Wulff. With a family background in the newspaper industry, Lewis's passion for objective sports journalism wins out over passion for his favorite teams. Lewis graduated cum laude from WSU in May. His senior year on the Palouse was spent covering Mike Leach's tumultuous first year coaching the Cougars. At Sportspress Northwest, Lewis will help cover the Storm, Mariners and Seahawks before returning to Pullman in August to cover WSU football's fall camp.

The 49ers this week feel compelled to remind their fans how to be fans. The team apparently sent out a message to season-ticket holders explaining how and when to cheer when the Seahawks make their last trip ever to Candlestick Park Sunday (1:25, FOX) for the NFC West throw-down.
The Seahawks’ secondary played its best game of the year while Brandon Browner fights a a proposed one-year suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

A blowout win on Monday Night Football over the well-regarded Saints had local and national media agog over the depth and dimension of the outcome.
Steve Sarkisian succeeded in pulling the Huskies out of the the mess created from Tyrone Willingham’s final season, but it wasn’t enough to keep the California native a Husky.
Multiple outlets reported Monday the Mariners plan to sign 36-year-old Willie Bloomquist (.271/.320/.346 career) as a backup infielder that adds speed to the lineup.
The Cougars lamented a series of what-ifs that might have earned another Apple Cup upset. But the 10-3 halftime lead withered in a nine-minute Huskies’ blitz.
in the three years since Bishop Sankey spurned Washington State for the Huskies, fan backlash has died down. The memory, however, rekindles Friday.
