On the final day of Danny O'Neil's freshman year in high school, his height was recorded as 4 feet, 11 and one-half inches by the mean woman in charge of his P.E. class. He has never gotten over it. Well, that and a whole bunch of other things he rants ab
The Dang Apostrophe podcast, hosted by Danny O'Neil, has been a delightful addition to the world of Washington sports commentary since I first started listening in 2012. This podcast offers great perks, such as behind-the-scenes insights into journalism, and Danny's takes on Washington sports are always entertaining and thought-provoking. The new audio editing is impressive, although there is one small nitpick with the transitional music being significantly louder than the rest of the audio. Overall, though, this podcast is a must-follow for anyone who cares about sports.
One of the best aspects of The Dang Apostrophe podcast is Danny O'Neil's overall outlook on Washington sports. He brings a perfect blend of intelligence, wit, passion, and "unfiltered" views that make for highly entertaining content. As a lifelong Washingtonian and sports fan, it's refreshing to hear someone with a journalist's eye for detail and a columnist's eye for opinion. Danny's insightful commentary adds depth to discussions about sports that you won't find elsewhere.
While there are many positives to The Dang Apostrophe podcast, one potential drawback is the volume levels of the transitional music. The intro music almost gave me a heart attack while driving because it was significantly louder than the rest of the audio. It would be better if this aspect were adjusted to create a more seamless listening experience. However, this is just a minor issue and doesn't detract from the overall quality of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Dang Apostrophe podcast is worth every minute of your time if you enjoy insightful sports commentary with a touch of humor and sincerity. Danny O'Neil's unique personality shines through in his cackling laughter and self-deprecating jokes. Despite trying to quit him at times, he has become an integral part of many listeners' lives for nearly ten years. His blend of information, humor, compassion, and endless cackling sets him apart in a saturated podcast market. Give this podcast a chance, and you'll be hooked on Danny's captivating storytelling and engaging discussions.

The second edition of the most soft-spoken morning show in the country where you get soothing tones and a summary of things that have actually occurred in our world.If you're looking for something livelier, I threw in some sound drops at the end of this week's “Say Who, Say Pod” with Christian Caple of OnMontlake.com. I also used the word “palooka” which entertained at least one of our listeners. This is a public episode.

I've spent much of the past year and a half re-evaluating my willingness to hold onto grudges, but man, if I'm still not entertained by another person's willingness to be petty. In this case, it's Aaron Rodgers whose determination to hold onto his anger over the Packers' decision to draft Joran Love is matched only by his desire to have the last word on their breakup.

Colin Cowherd tells us he had dinner with Sean Payton, and while he's not going to reveal everything he said, the FS1 host shares some hilarious opinions on why Denver would be a good fit for Payton and how exactly he can help Russell Wilson.What Cowherd doesn't talk about is what would be at stake for Wilson in this new pairing, and we're more than happy to help him out in that regard.

We start off inside Seattle's locker room after the Week 18 victory to show you how wrong so many of us were about what would work for Pete Carroll in the NFL.Then, we look back at a September conversation with Mike Sando of The Athletic to see just how successful this Seahawks season has actually been.

I would be legitimately fascinated to see what happens were Jim Harbaugh were to be hired as the Broncos coach, but I honestly think that the best thing for Russell Wilson would be to have the team hire a coach who will rely on his offensive coordinator to run that side of the ball.Also, an "Undisputed"-ly awkward introduction is evidence of why the pairing of Shannon Sharpe with Skip Bayless isn't going to last much longer.

Thursday's loss made me think of another home loss to San Francisco, and just how much different this Seahawks season has been from what was expected.-- Seattle's biggest deficiency (it isn't the quarterback)-- Seattle's biggest need (It may also be the quarterback) This is a public episode.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit dannyoneil.substack.comThis episode of "The Dang Apostrophe" starts with a discussion of a specific kind of fan who wants their team "held accountable."10:20, we look at a column by Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post, which is written for that crowd that wants to see Russell Wilson held accountable.36:00, we go back to the time that Mark Kiszla -- this same columnist -- called me a "weak white man" to see exactly what led to all of that.
Pete Carroll is the second coach to let go of Russell Wilson, Jon Gruden has absolutely no clue how to apologize and there's a glaring issue with the Mike Tyson renaissance currently underway. Then Mike Sando of The Athletic joins us for a deeper look at the different motivations and implications of the divorce between Wilson and Seattle. This is a public episode.

The Seahawks are playing defense in free agency, which is a surprise to anyone who thought that this team was entering a full-scale rebuild. Re-signing safety Quandre Diggs and tight end Will Dissly should provide an insight to where this team is going.As for quarterback? That remains a gray area. “Charcoal,” in the word of Fletch.I've enlisted help to sort that out. Greg Bishop is a former co-worker, a friend and in addition to being a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, he is also one of the 23 members of the Founding Faithful here at “The Dang Apostrophe.”I gave him a choice of subject matter at one point: pervert or unfair question. He opted for the unfair question, which he answered eloquently, and then I made him talk about Deshaun Watson anyway. This is a public episode.

We met on the Internet.That was my idea for a regular segment on the podcast where I would interview somebody I had met online, probably through social media. Eddie Francis falls into that category. He's from Seattle, former host at KUBE and someone who provided me with an incredible amount of grace when I had a mortifying moment on the air in 2014, but also provided a great example for me on how to apologize when you say something hurtful in public.That's at the end of our conversation, though. First, we have to talk about whether you'll be cheering for or against Russell Wilson now that he's in Denver. This is a public episode.

Ben Baldwin was gracious enough to take half an hour to talk with me on Wednesday, reacting to the trade of Russell Wilson.Ben became known as my economist friend back in 2019 when he talked with me about an article on all the reasons it's stupid to draft a running back in the first round. He is an economist, who moved to the East Coast in 2012 and found the Seahawks — and the enthusiasm that blossomed around the team — connected him back to his hometown. He's been a heavyweight of Seahawks Twitter ever since then in addition to writing for The Athletic.I love Ben's perspective, and the way he builds data-driven opinions about what really matters in an NFL game. And he really is my friend. I send him a holiday card. This is a public episode.
