Chuck and Buck

We had a VERY busy show on Friday! From the Draftmas catalog to house guests Mike Sando and Jonah Coleman, we covered all things NFL Draft. Plus Everett Fitzhugh helped us preview the Stanley Cup Playoffs and yeah, we talked Mariners too.

The NHL playoffs start tomorrow, so we bring in our expert EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) to help us preview the playoffs and green jacket draft our teams. :30- JONAH COLEMAN joins the show to talk NFL Draft! What's it like preparing for the draft and where will he be watching? Does he have any expectations of when he should be drafted? Has he had a meeting with the Seahawks? Who else has he met with? :45- We close out the show and the week with Booze News!

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the week in the OCHO M's get swept in San Diego Mariners return home to face the Rangers The Kraken season comes to an end Stanley Cup Playoffs begin tomorrow The NBA playoffs also start tomorrow… officially Sounders host St Louis Only 6 days till the NFL Draft Mahler/Millen mock draft! :30- It's time to check the Draftmas stockings and see what sort of rumors are stuffed in there. There's been rumors of a lot of teams wanting to trade down, but does anyone actually want to trade up? Sonny Styles' name keeps getting brought up as a future Cowboy. Ty Simpson to the Cardinals is really heating up. Las Vegas is still getting a lot of phone calls about that #1 spot… Could the Giants trade Dexter Lawrence to the Chargers? :45- Ok, we have to revisit this conversation… because some people are making it a big deal.

MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) Where does the NFL Draft rank in Mike Sando's football-loving mind? What are the intriguing storylines Sando is following most closely? John Schneider was great at drafting and then had some off years and now he seems to be on fire again- why does Sando think that is? Is Jeremiyah Love that special and how will the changes in RB philosophy be reflected in Love's landing spot on Thursday? :30- ABC's of the Mariners M is for Munoz: there's been a lot of people analyzing what's wrong with Andres Munoz, but it turns out you only have to ask Munoz himself. N is for Naylor: he plays with intensity- can that be sustained over 162 games? O is for Open-Minded: could Luis Castillo be a really great reliever? :45- What ever happened to our right to privacy?

Get out yer Draftmas Catalogs, we're looking at Defensive Tackles this morning! :30- Mariners Morning After Yeah… the Mariners were swept in San Diego, so we have to talk about it and we have some questions… For instance, why was Connor Joe pinch hitting for one of our hottest hitters? Enough with the lefty-righty thing! :45- We are just bothered by Connor Joe pinch-hitting, Dan seems to be way too focused on stats and doesn't seem to manage with any gut feeling. Before the game yesterday, Andres Munoz said he's not pitching enough and it's not just him. How are we not making adjustments to our bullpen usage?

We mocked, we laughed, we cried! it was a busy Thursday and we had Josh Edwards from CBS Sports and the voice of the Tacoma Rainiers, Rylee Paye stop by!

We pull out Santa's back sack and take a look at Brandon Cisse, Mike Washington and Jadarian Price as some new names get added to the Seahawks draft mix. We keep hearing about the possibility of the Seahawks drafting a running back, so we revisit conversations about two of the top RB choices that might be available and Gregg Bell threw a new name into the mix for the Seahawks at CB. :30- RYLEE PAYE (Tacoma Rainiers) Chuck will join Rylee on the Rainiers broadcast tomorrow, so we check in with the voice of the Rainiers. Colt Emerson is the talk of Tacoma. Who else is standing out for the Rainiers right now? How is the pitching staff looking? :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

The Mariners just straight blew it last night… or more specifically Andres Munoz blew it. The team had a 6-0 lead at one point and a 6-2 lead heading into the 9th, when Munoz came in. Why is it that when a “save” isn't on the line, our closer (or closers in general) just doesn't have it? :30- It's time for Stocking Stuffers and the rumors are heating up! - The Jets have narrowed it down to Arvell Reese or David Bailey at #2. - The #3 pick seems to be where the chaos begins. - AJ Brown trade rumors continue, will he be dealt before the draft or will they wait until June 1st? - Pittsburgh is waiting on Aaron Rodgers… again. - Dolphins standing firm on not making Achane available. :45- Sup? It's time for our listeners to ask al of their burning questions!

Headlines and JOSH EDWARDS (CBS Sports) We are one week away from the NFL Draft- what does Josh say about the narrative that this is a bad draft class? We take a look at Josh's mock draft- who does he have the Seahawks picking at 32? Where does Josh see some shakeups happening? Does Josh have any juicy rumors that he could see coming to fruition next Thursday? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - J is for Jackson: as in Jackson Merrill who had the game winning hit AND robbed a home run from Julio and that's happening to frequently. - K is for Killer: we need to see that Killer mentality from Luis Castillo tonight. - L is for Luke: the headline of this game should have been “Luke Raley's on fire,” between Raley and Arozarena, those two are getting it done and they aren't getting a lot of support from the rest of the lineup. :45- Only 7 sleeps away from the NFL Draft! What do we make of the narrative that this Draft isn't exciting?

You have GOT to be effing kidding us! That was just a gross loss last night as the Mariners blew a 4-run lead in the 9th inning. Munoz has been struggling this year, but it wasn't the wrong move to put him in, even though it wasn't a save situation. Muni just didn't have it and now we are coming in to talk about the Mariners not getting swept tonight instead of going for the series win. Why is it that Muni struggles in a non-save situation? Why didn't Dan go with Brash, who is more proven that Ferrer? :30- Mariners Morning After What a total disappointment last night as the Mariners fell to the Padres 7-6 after holding a 6-run lead at one point. Lost in the ugliness were fantastic performances by Emerson Hancock (again) and Luke Raley. :45- This Russini/Vrabel story is literally the talk of the country, not just the sports world. You can't escape it.

It's the best of the Wednesday show as we talk Draftmas, Mariner baseball, NBA playoffs and Kraken hockey with our guests Gregg Bell, Spencer Hawes and Al Kinisky.

SPENCER HAWES is in-studio to help us preview the NBA playoffs and fill in for Bucky in the green jacket draft. How many of our picks will be mocked by the 7-footer? :30- AL KINISKY (KAN color analyst) With just two games left in the season and another year without the playoffs, where did it all go wrong for the Kraken this season? What did Al think of Tod's comments on the disappointment of this season? What can we expect from this organization in the offseason? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

Get out your Draftmas catalogs, we're looking at offensive tackles! :30- ABC's of the Mariners - G is for Ground balls with eyes: we didn't exactly crush the baseball last night, but we didn't play any worse than the Padres. - H is for Hancock: Emerson Hancock gets the start tonight and with Bryce Miller getting to do his rehab starts, Hancock is under a microscope. - I is for Interactions: we love seeing the interactions between former teammates and it was on display last night with Ty France and his former teammates. And yes, we still wish Cal would have acknowledged Randy. :45- Bucky may not be here, but we still have some hardware to hand out!

Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Does Gregg see John and the Seahawks just sticking with their draft picks and picking their needs? - If they move around a bit, can they still tackle all their needs in the draft and where does Gregg see them getting a running back? - What is another position that we are possibly sleeping on that the Seahawks could be looking at? :30- The Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel drama has a lot of people talking. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! When Bryce Miller comes back, the Mariners will send Hancock to the bullpen, most likely, but it's not what Chuck would do! First- he'd trade Luis Castillo for Ian Happ. Second- he'd send Emerson to Tacoma and avoid disrupting his rhythm.

The Mariners lost to the Padres to snap their 4-game win streak. It was nothing spectacular by either team and we move onto the next one. :30- Mariners Morning After. It was a 4-1 loss for the Mariners last night, who managed just 4 hits to the Padres 11. That's not the entire story as the M's managed some hard hits that couldn't find grass, while the Padres definitely had some luck on their side. :45- Let's check the Draftmas Stockings for the latest NFL draft rumors and news. - Mel Kiper put out his final mock draft of the draftmas season with 8 sleeps still to go! - Mel's got Jadarian Price going to the Seahawks at 32… - Where does Ty Simpson end up?

Tuesday's show was full of Mariners talk, draftmas and more with guests Rob Rang and Everett Fitzhugh!

The Mariners swept the Astros and it seems to have calmed some of the panic we were seeing from some M's fans. Next up it's the Padres and Mason Miller… luckily we have a game plan for that guy. Bryce Miller is headed for his rehab assignment, but we have no long how long that will last and then what happens with this pitching staff?   :30- Miracle on 34th Pick- what miraculous scenarios could come to life if the Seahawks trade down to the 34th pick? :45- We close out the show with one last thing!  

It's time for Draftmas Stocking Stuffers! - Some of the draft strategies are starting to be revealed by teams; according to Albert Breer picks 3-7 are all unhappy with where they're at. - Now everyone is jumping on the Mike Washington Jr train… - Could Denzel Boston fall to 32 and if so, does it make sense for the Seahawks to get him? - So many draft rumors, so little time! :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) With only two games left in the season, is it more important for the Kraken to go out on a high note or improve their draft positioning? What does Everett think about Tod Leiweke's comments last week? If it weren't for all the losing after the NHL trade deadline, that Bobby McMann move would have been the best ever? :45- Has golf become too predictable? Rory took home his 2nd Green Jacket and 4 of the last 5 Majors have been won by McIlroy or Scheffler. Do we need more variety?

ROB RANG (Fox Sports/LockedOn Seahawks) This draft is being underhyped, but Rob thinks it's perfect for the Seahawks needs. Will the Hawks address all three areas of need in this draft? There are some interesting RB options… Who makes the most sense if the Seahawks do hang on to the 32nd pick? Where does Rob see Denzel Boston going on Thursday? What teams and players intrigue Rob the most in this draft? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - D is for Dawdling or Delaying: What's going on with Bryce Miller? - E is for Emerson: Yeah, the Mariners are right to wait on bringing Colt Emerson up. - F is for Friars: bring on the Vedder Cup! :45- The NBA has some problems, including the fact that they don't want to actually address their problems.

The Mariners sweep the Astros and just like that, the team is one game below .500. Yes, we realize that Houston is struggling, but the M's needed this to get back on track and even the big 3 have started to warm up a bit. :30- The Mariners got their 4th win in a row and handed Houston their 8th loss in a row and yesterday it was all about George Kirby and Josh Naylor who both had fantastic games. Naylor got his first extra-base hit and it was a big one; a three-run homer. He followed that up with a two-run homer and a sigh of relief. :45- The WNBA loves Draftmas so much that they held their draft last night and it sure seems like the Storm won the night.

RYON HEALY (Mariners TV) Ryon is making his Mariners TV debut this Friday! Is this team officially out of their rut and what changed? When does the panic start to set in for a veteran player? Does Ryon believe that the WBC could have had anything to do with the slow starts? Is ABS affecting the at-bats possibly? :30- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers - Rueben Bain Jr was involved in a fatal car accident in 2024 and it's come up during this draft process. He seems to be handling it well and all organizations seem satisfied with how he has answered their questions. - Daniel Jeremiah is floating out a trade idea and Jets fans are rattled. - More rumblings about Jeremiyah Love going 3rd in the draft - Will Ty Simpson last into the 2nd round? Matt Miller sure thinks so! :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

:45- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for Arozarena: Arozarena deserves some credit for his play over the weekend. - B is for Broken Bat: The Ichiro statue was unveiled on Friday and the bat broke when the cover was pulled off, because… of course it did. - C is for Close Calls: Brendan Donovan has to get his throws to first right. He is putting Naylor in jeopardy and we can't have that. 8AM- Time to pull out the Draftmas Catalog! :30- The WNBA Draft is tonight, and there's a story out there that no one's talking about. Azzi Fudd could be the #1 overall pick to the Dallas Wings, the team her girlfriend Paige Bueckers plays for. Could having two people in a relationship on the same team be an issue or does this happen more than we know without a problem? :45- Masters Sunday was a treat!

It's the best moments of Thursday's show!

RHETT LEWIS (NFL Network) It's mock draft time and we chat with Rhett about his mock draft. Is there any chance Mendoza doesn't go to the Raiders? How high will Jeremiyah Love go? Who does he have the Seahawks picking at 32? :30- No, we still aren't panicking about the Mariners, but if you want to, that's fine! :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

MARK MCLEMORE (former Mariner/Rangers broadcast team) What's happening in the Clubhouse when the team has high expectations and you get off to a slow start? With Ichiro being honored this weekend, we ask Mark about playing with the legend and what that was like. What was it about that 2001 team that made them so damn good? When Mark and his teammates get together and talk about today's game, what are they talking about? The approach? The money? :30- It's time to check out Santa's back sack and today we are talking running backs. We revisit Rob Rang's thoughts on Jadarian Price and Hugh Millen's thoughts on Mike Washington, two RB draft possibilities for the Seahawks. :45- Yesterday the Kraken announced that Ron Francis will step down as the President of Hockey Operations at the end of the season. The timing was a little odd, but the move makes sense as the Kraken season was disappointing for everyone.

Headlines and Draftmas Catalog Today, we're taking a look at some of the wide receivers available in the draft. Will any of them draw the Seahawks' eye? :30- ABCs of the Mariners Chuck is using the ABC's to propose a trade… X is for Expectations: The Mariners have expectations to go to the World Series this year and they aren't letting a 4-9 start get in the way of that. The Chicago Cubs also have eyes on the World Series prize, but they have a lot of injuries to their starting rotation and that could make them excellent trade partners. Soooo, Chuck is trading Luis Castillo and Victor Robles for Ian Happ and Javier Assad or Ben Brown. You keep your pitching depth and improve your defense in left field. Y is for Year: Happ only has a year on his contract, but that could work in your benefit. Z is for Zen Garden: no increased payroll (actually decreases), frees up Hancock and adds depth to bullpen, potential starting depth if needed as well. You've improved your defense and eliminated a platoon, plus you free up money for next year when Anderson and Sloane might come up. :45- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers - There's rumors that there will be a lot of trade activity in this draft. It is a down year, so wouldn't that heighten the opportunity to package some picks up and trade for that one special player? - The Seahawks are being linked to Chris Johnson, a CB out of SDSU.

The Mariners skid continues as they get swept by the Rangers. It's an ugly start to the 2026 season and not at all what we expected, but we aren't panicking. Now, if you think that Cal, Julio and Naylor went from all-star to dud over the offseason, then you can certainly panic, but we don't think that happened. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners have now lost 5 straight and the lack of offense and sloppy defense were the issue yet again. Bryan Woo pitched well, but the team couldn't help him out of a jam and the offense couldn't step up to overcome the deficit. :45- Mike MacDonald joined Softy and Hugh yesterday, so we revisit some of the conversation with the Seahawks head coach.

It's the bets of our Wednesday show!

It's Masters Eve and time to green jacket draft our Masters picks as we preview the tradition unlike any other. :30- AL KINISKY (KAN color analyst) Maybe we could talk BBQ instead? It has been a rough stretch for the Kraken as the team is on the brink of playoff elimination. What happened since the Olympic break and how disappointing is this? The team needed to play their best and instead they're playing their worst. Does Al think Lane Lambert will stay and should he stay? :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

BRADY KANNON (Golf.com, CBS Sports, SportsLine, SportsGrid) What are some key indicators to help us narrow down the Masters field? JJ Spaun and Cameron Young have been making headlines- how confident is Brady feeling in these two at Augusta? What's the latest on Collin Morikawa? Should we be worried about his health? Who wins and how does Brady see this thing going? :30- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers.. rumors from the NFL draft - Jadarian Price is being heavily mocked to the Seahawks. - Maybe the Jets aren't as into Arvell Reese as it seemed and they may want David Bailey… or maybe they're messing with the Cowboys. - As for Jerry Jones, he says Dallas is absolutely looking to move up in the draft. - Fernando Mendoza will not be attending the NFL Draft and no, it's not a sign that the draft isn't what it used to be. :45- Sup? It's time for our listeners to ask whatever they want and we answer… most of them!

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Where do the Seahawks feel more need- cornerback, safety or a combo of the two? What's the plan to fix the hole at running back and are the Seahawks worried about it at all? A look at John Schneider's history of trading draft picks, including the one that ruined the O-Line for years. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - U is for Unbelievable: You really know things aren't going your way when Luke Raley misses 1st base and has to go back on what should have been a double. - V is for Vexed: Can George Kirby figure out how to let things go when they don't go his way? - W is for Wisdom: Patrick Wisdom is a vet down in Tacoma and apparently he's hitting a home run every night, but calling up isn't going to fix the Mariners. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! A lot of people were upset that the Mariners signed Colt Emerson to an 8-year $95 million deal last week when he hasn't had an MLB at-bat. Yesterday the Pittsburgh Pirates one-upped the M's and signed their phenom, Connor Griffin to a 9-year $140 million deal, further proving that the Mariners did the right thing with Emerson and signed him before they had to try and beat other similar contracts.

We start off the show with the Draftmas catalog because we are busy today! Let's take a look at the linebackers available in the draft- there are some very intriguing options if the chips fall correctly. :30- Mariners Morning After Another game, another loss as the Mariners fall to the Rangers 3-2 for their 4th loss in a row. The offense got some hit, but couldn't turn them into runs and George Kirby threw an excellent game aside from 2 mistakes. That combo led to the loss and it seems when things aren't going right, they really aren't going right. :45- A former KJR employee (adjacent) made headlines with a current NFL head coach!

We grabbed the best moments of Tuesday's show, including our guests Rob Rang, Jedd Fisch and Everett Fitzhugh.

Michigan wins the Natty and the turnaround happened quick for their program. That's the new age of college sports; so how far away is UW basketball? It's not just the Huskies who keep struggling, the Kraken are too as it looks like they will miss the Stanley Cup playoffs once again…although they aren't mathematically out of it. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - R is for Rivas: a utility guy filling in for an injured player can't make the little mistakes that Rivas keeps making and he needs to have his challenge rights revoked. - S is for South Paws: the pressure is on M's right-handed hitters to prove they can come through against lefties. - T is for Trout: the Angels are angry about how the M's were pitching to Mike Trout over the weekend. :45- We wrap up the show with one last thing!

Husky head football coach, JEDD FISCH joins the show to talk spring ball and Dawgs in the NFL draft. - What's the latest with Jordan Washington's health and how does the running back room look right now? - Can we expect Jordan Washington to be “the guy” in Washington's backfield this year and if not, who might jump in? - Would Coach Fisch like to see spring ball moved or removed all together? Are we close to a decision on this? - How is Demond doing and what does Coach think he learned from the whole LSU ordeal? - It's time to turn Coach into a draft analyst and we get his thoughts on the Husky draft prospects Denzel Boston, Jonah Coleman Tacario Davis & Ephesians Prysock. :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) Is Everett surprised by how poor this team is playing and how this season is coming to an end? This team has to be better at doing things that don't require talent… What is it going to take for the Kraken to get back to the playoffs in the years ahead and how difficult is it to find a Connor McDavid-type? :45- Miracle at 34th Pick! We go over a scenario in which the Seahawks move down the 34th pick and the possibilities are endless. Do you believe?

Headlines and our first official visit from Jolly Ol St Pickolas, ROB RANG (Fox Sports, LockedOn Seahawks) - Where's the buzz on this draft? - What does Rob see the Seahawks doing with the 32nd pick? - Should we be worried with he Seahawks lack of draft picks this year? - Does he have any questions or concerns about Fernando Mendoza? - Who is Rob most excited to talk about? :30- The Mariners are off to a slow start again and it's frustrating to be talking about this year in and year out, but we think they will pull out of this and get right. :45- UNC stole some of the shine from the National Championship by announcing they hired Michael Malone as their new head basketball coach. This hiring further proves that with the state of college sports, “the elites” aren't the same jobs they used to be.

A hat tip to the National Champion Michigan Wolverines! (and a thank you for beating Dan Hurley) UConn made it a close game and neither team played particularly well, but the better team won in the end and 2026 is the year of the Big Ten. :30- Mariners Morning After Another game, another disappointing offensive performance from the Mariners. We didn't expect things to be easy against Jacob deGrom, but with Cal's 1st home run of the season coming early in the game, we had some hope the bats would be going. Unfortunately, that and one other hit were all the offense the Mariners could muster. :45- It's time for Draftmas Stocking Stuffers! - We have a big fat trade rumor! The Cardinals may be looking to trade out of the #3 spot. - Carnell Tate rumors are swirling- is his draft stock actually rising? - Peter Shrager is mocking Price to the Seahawks at 32.

It's the best our Monday show!

The Mariners are off to a 4-6 start and we can absolutely be critical, but we can't hit the panic button right now! :30- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers - There's a lot of rumors out there that the Jets have made up their minds about the 2nd pick. - The Miami Dolphins have 11 draft picks this year and they look like they want to get rid of a lot of them in 2026 and move into the 2027 draft. - The Maxx Crosby trade rumors are not dead yet. - The Cardinals and Jets- who really likes Ty Simpson? :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

HUGH MILLEN (aka Hughkon Cornelius) is making his Draftmas debut this morning and he's here to help us take a look at the running back possibilities for the Seahawks in the NFL Draft. - We start with Jadarian Price, the Notre Dame running back who a lot of people have on the Seahawks short list. - Could Washington's Jonah Coleman be the answer for the Seahawks? - A lot of people have Arkansas' Mike Washington mocked to the Seahawks; how would he fit? :30- Hugh is back to give his thoughts on the hole that losing Ken Walker has created for the Seahawks. How big of a deal is it? :45- It's Masters Week and there may never be a better time of year in Ashley's house!

It's time to haul out the Draftmas catalog and take a look at some O-line options for the Seahawks in the draft. Would we prefer a guard or center? We look at both. :30- ABCs of the Mariners - O is for Out-of-Context: JP was taken out of context on Friday. No, he isn't mad at Colt Emerson. - P is for Pen: Because of the extra innings and Castillo's poor outing yesterday, we're going to need Logan to deliver tonight. - Q is for Quit: Leo Rivas did not have a great game yesterday and he needs to be better. :45- We have to take a minute to talk about the performance from Jo Adell on Saturday.

The Easter weekend delivered some great weather… the sports… not so much. We were expecting a top-3 matchup between Arizona and Michigan and it was nothing close. Meanwhile Illinois and UConn played a closer game, but boy was it sloppy. On the Women's side, Friday's semifinal matchup was also expected to one for the ages and South Carolina's collapse in the finals against UCLA should show Michigan exactly what they can't do in the men's finals tonight. :30- Mariners Morning After Yes, it was a frustrating weekend for the Mariners in Anaheim as they lost the series with the Angels. When things are off with a team nothing works right- either your pitching steps up and the bats are cold or the bats heat up and the pitching can't hold anyone. Tonight the team heads to Texas and it might be tough for the big three to get going as they face Jacob deGrom. :45- We are embarking upon week 2 of Draftmas!

We wrap up the first week of Draftmas! It's our best of Friday show!

QUINCY PONDEXTER (UW Basketball) Quincy joins the show to give us his thoughts on UW basketball and the Final Four. How far away from a tourney run are the Dawgs? How difficult is it to be watching the Final Four and not being one of the teams in it? What makes these four teams so special? Does he think a Big Ten team will be cutting down the nets? :30- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers- a look at NFL draft rumors - We start with Ty Simpson and the Orlovsky effect, which has now made Simpson polarizing and has him dropping in the draft. - Cleveland is trying to move down in the draft, or at least that's the rumor, but that's what this is all about. - There are a lot of teams in the wide receiver draft discussion. :45- We close out the week and the show with Booze News. Get the Nog!

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO! 1. Draftmas is here! 2. Seahawks have a long wait on Day 1 of the draft 3. Kraken loss makes playoffs look bleak 4. Final Four is tomorrow! 5. Mariners in Anaheim 6. Colt Emerson's new deal- when will he be called up? 7. Sounders at Dynamo 8. KJR sports weekend :30- Yesterday we caught up with Angie Mentink and talked to her about the struggles of the Big 3; is the WBC to blame at least a little bit? :45- We are wrapping up week 1 of Draftmas and the spirit of the season is flowing!

Headlines and our Draftmas Houseguest has arrived! IAN FURNESS joins the show to share his Draftmas wishes with us. First off, we have to address last night's Kraken loss- what the heck happened and is it over? Obviously Ken Walker leaving left a hole in this Seahawks roster, so where does Ian see the Hawks looking for a running back in the draft? How would Ian draft from a priority standpoint if the Seahawks keep their first three picks? Does Ian have a running back in mind for the Hawks? We've seen two championship teams- one built by Pete and John and one by John and Mike; were Pete and John ever as locked in as Mike and John seem to be? :30- ABCs of the Mariners - L is for Lefties: yes, we're facing another one tonight - M is for Munoz: can we see him in various situations, not just when it's a save? - N is for Naylor: Josh is off to a 1-27 start, but we guarantee he's not worried about it and we shouldn't be either. :45- The Final Four is tomorrow night and these two matchups are very exciting, but can we all agree that we are rooting against Dan Hurley?

We start with the Draftmas Catalog right out of the gate! Why? Because it's the only place we could fit it. We take a look at Edge Rushers today and while we are focusing on options for the Seahawks, we can't ignore some of the best players in the draft. :30- JP Crawford has re-joined the Mariners after dealing with a shoulder injury and while we are excited to have him back, we do have some reservations given what we saw last year. Can he get back to his form from two years ago? :45- Are the Kraken's playoff hopes dead? Last night's 6-2 loss to Utah sure seemed to deflate the playoff balloon. Do the Kraken have it in them to pull off a miracle run?

It's the best of our Thursday show!

ANGIE MENTINK (Mariners TV) It's our first visit of the season with Angie! What does she think of newly added Brendan Donovan? We have to address the elephant in the room- what's going on with the big 3? How about that Sunday performance from Emerson Hancock? What is Angie's outlook for the season and is a 3-4 start deterring her? How does NFL Match work? No, seriously? :30- Draftmas Stocking Stuffers- NFL draft news and rumors - How high will Jeremiyah Love go in the draft and he could he land in the NFC West? - The Detroit Lions may be looking to protect Goff - Will the Eagles be drafting a wide receiver? :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

Colt Emerson watch is on as we wait to see when the top prospect will get the call up. We don't want to rush him, but we expect him up fairly soon as it appears there's just one more box to tick. :30- We always introduce a new element to Draftmas and this year, it's Santa's Backsack! Santa's sack is filled with backs… of the running and corner variety. :45- The Final Four is Saturday and these two matchups provide a lot of excitement.

Headlines and ERIC EDHOLM (NFL.com) Eric is ready for the Draftmas season and joins us to talk mock drafts and more. What does he make of the news that Kirk Cousins has signed with the Raiders? Does he have any real reason to believe that the Raiders won't take Fernando Mendoza with the first pick? He's got the Seahawks trading down and not using the 32nd pick and we tend to agree. What about Ty Simpson, could the 32nd pick be a perfect spot for him and work out well for the Seahawks to trade out? :30- Sup? We answer questions from the listeners! :45- ABC's - J is for Judgement: maybe we shouldn't be so quick to rush to judgement on the offense just yet. Let's look at the competition… - K is for Kirby: they're going to have to let George challenge some pitches.
