During our three-plus years with NBC, we’ve cobbled together a quite strong team of writers. The family grows by one tonight.
Curtis Crabtree becomes the official West Coast reporter for this East Coast-biased site, providing updates every Monday through Thursday night from 10:00 p.m. ET until 2:00 a.m. ET. (Or, for those of you in the Pacific zone, 7:00 p.m. through 11:00 p.m.)
The fact that he’s on the West Coast doesn’t mean he’ll only do updates for the teams to the left of the Mississippi. But it’ll be easier for a guy in that part of the country to do updates when the rest of us are sleeping.
Curtis, a 2008 graduate of Central Washington University, lives in North Bend, Washington, 30 minutes or so from Seattle. He covers the Seahawks, the Mariners, UW football and basketball, and other local sports for KJR.
Give him a proper PFT commenter welcome below. In other words, call him a bunch of names and tell him that he sucks.
Or feel free to give any of the rest of us a hard time — MDS, Darin Gantt, Josh Alper, Evan Silva, or me.

Welcome Curtis!
Aww…how cute. He looks just like you Mike!
How much did he weigh at birth?
He looks like he could play O-line for the cards or eagles
so you basically hired another guy with as little west coast football knowledge as the rest of you? what, the california workers comp laws preventing you from hiring someone in the state with 3 freakin NFL teams? nbc now owns csn which is the bay area sports affiliate. try getting someone from there.
Welcome Curtis. Don’t worry about us armchair NFL experts. Tell it like it needs to be told. Good luck in the new gig.
buck nasty said it best..
welcome to the haters ball…
hate hate hate.
Curtis you are Megatron and I am Optimus Prime or some other worthless insult that makes no sense!
Huh!
but i give you kudos for getting a guy with the same haircut as Mark Davis. #RaiderNation
Why does he look like his Mommy just cut his hair with a bowl over his head?
Welcome from north of the border.
Congrats Curtis, as a KJR listener, it’s awesome. Don’t listen to these idiots, their mom hasn’t let them out of the basement.
Florio is creating more jobs than Obama.
Curtis, that’s my moms name.
Do you really think this is going to look good on your resume?
Hey Crabtree! Your last article was terrible!
Welcome aboard.
Whenever we give you a hard time, it gets deleted
(I kid, I kid….or do I?)
Welcome Curtis!
Don’t take too much advice from Gantt. I don’t think he watches the games.
Welcome. Everybody is gonna give you a hard time for a while though.
Welcome aboard.
GO BIG BLUE!!!
As a fellow cwu wildcat, im smiling ear to ear… Although if some sort of hazing is to occur might i suggest a piece titled “kitna then and now” make the minimum words over 2000
Cute kid!
Posing in a standard West Coast football scene, I see.
Of course this will be ignored by the PFT head honchos but as happy as I am that there is some west coast representation its sort of a half a** way to do business. Although the northwest is a beautiful place it in no way represents he west coast by any means.
The lack of a writer from California (3 NFL teams plus Cardinals & Broncos!) pretty much feeds the bias argument that you’re so defensive about and confirms that this is a Jayvee site.
Actually, only Silva and Gantt truly suck as writers. The rest of you are just a-holes.
You suck, Sally!
Any relation to Michael?
Welcome Craptree, I’ll expect 300 words on The Tav vs Arnie’s written for the out-of-towner by Wednesday.
The writers here are second rate, especially DG and MDS. Two of the worst I have ever read. I’ve seen better tripe on fan sites. So, if you can write at least on a ninth grade level…welcome.
Know your roll….Write positive things about the Skins and you will be fine.
Mr PFT getting to the age where he has to provide employment to all of his illicit offspring from college.
Why would anyone give a hard time to that rare disease MDS, Darin The Gnat, Just Alpo, or Effin Saliva? We hold them in the utmost respect.
Whoop. Dee. Doo.
Why bother posting anything?
You and your band of holier than though censors just delete anything that you don’t agree with or dislike.
Don’t make any post about Tebow!
Good luck with this bunch of yahoos.
Well hello there, chuckles. The PFT tradition of faces fit for radio continues.
Woof! Fresh meat for the grinder!
Welcome! We can finally get some West Coast perspective even though I live in the Midwest.
Drew Brees wants an explanation.
Welcome, and I hope the gig pays enough for you to pay a pro for your haircuts.
But what does he think of Tim Tebow? Isn’t that all that matters on this site?
I hate him already.
Florio you are really signing up folks with serious reporting cred. Gantt from the Rock Hill Gazette and now this dude from KJR.
Maybe you should increase the pay.
Aww c’mon Florio… Give yourself some credit. You’re swell.
curtis you look a little like jay cutler, sorry. that is all
Welcome!…nice hat head by the way
Welcome aboard Curtis.
Hope you’re better than the Central Washington Wildcats football team this season.
They lost to then winless Azusa Pacific to shake up the Great North West Athletic Conference standings.
Then I watched them throw away the GNAC title up here at the Redwood Bowl against Humboldt State in a 14-10 loss.
Pressure’s on! Good writers in this group
When is your first bounty-related article?
Drew Brees demands a bounty-gate story!
Cardio bro.
Dear god. Jay Cutler has a brother.
Woohoo! Finally some much needed West Coast bias!!!
Has he been seen in the same room with Alex Van Pelt?
Who wins an eating contest? Andy Reid or this guy?
I guess John Boy is not the only writer to come from Walton’s Mountain. Welcome Jim Bob!
Does his mom cut his hair?
Maybe Crabtree can provide us all with Skyrim, Star Trek and World of Warcraft metaphors in his articles?
Great, another delusional latte drinking Seahawks fan.
Just what we need…more dumb comments [ we should be 8-0] from Pete the poodle.
Tell Petey he’d look awesome in a cheerleaders uniform
These guys are right… this guy looks like the offspring of Jay Cutler and Jon Kitna.
