Today we hear from Kraken Captain Jordan Eberle on the eve of the 2026 season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fandom is a funny thing, college fandom is even moreso. The Seahawks need to step up their run game and clean a lot up before Sunday. :30- Speaking of fandom; Houston fans were NOT happy with their team during yesterday’s loss and the players weren’t happy with the fans either! :45- GREY ZABEL sits down with Ian at the VMAC. Grey covers the O-line shakeups and how difficult it is to have people rotating on the O-line to fill Bradford’s shoes. How is year 2 going and does he have any concerns after the week 3 loss?

Luckily for the Seahawks, the Mariners took all the headlines away from their loss to the Commanders. But yes, we do have some concerns after what we saw on Sunday. :20- JOE SHEEHAN (The Joe Sheehan Newsletter) MLB playoffs are on right now- how does Joe feel about the day games and the way MLB schedules their playoff games? What went wrong for this Mariners team this season? What’s next for this Mariners team? What about free agency? Is it smart for them to let Arozarena go? Who would be a good fit as the next Mariners manager? How good is the Mariners Manager job from someone outside the market? :45- Time for the Daily Power Play!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

12PM- Did the Mariners do the Media AND Jerry dirty yesterday? We sure think so! :20- It’s time to Mollywhop with NATHAN BISHOP and CHRIS CRAWFORD! The boys join us today to react to the last 48 hours of Mariners news. Nathan comes to a pretty sad realization… The feelings and emotions are strong following this disappointing Mariners season and the boys are airing it all out! :45- We are back with one final segment of Mollywhop for the 2026 Mariners season. While we are lamenting that the Mariners season is done, we have the Braves/Phillies playoff game on and there are thousands of empty seats. Baseball clearly isn’t driven by attendance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) Turnovers were the downfall of the Seahawks yesterday… Luckily the Rams seemed to have the same problem. Do the Patriots have a Drake Maye problem? JJ McCarthy is headed to the NY Giants and other news from around the NFL. :30- The textline is blowing up after the Jerry Dipoto press conference.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sports depression has settled in after this weekend. One loss after another, but perhaps the worst one was the Seahawks losing in DC. Three turnovers and the lack of a run game hurt them in the 33-31 loss. They played terribly and still had a chance to win. How big of hit is it to this defense to play without Julian Love and Ty Okada? :20- Hardcore Football with HUGH MILLEN What did Hugh takeaway from the Seahawks loss to the Commanders? Hugh breaks down some of the key mistakes that the Seahawks made yesterday. :45- More with HUGH MILLEN on the loss.

It's a Washington Beef Commission's Football Friday and we are talking a lot of football! We start with a thank you to Rick Rizzs and include visits from Greg Cosell, Danny O'Neill and Rob Rang!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Mariners season has been beyond disappointing; what would we like to see the Mariners do? Should Dan be allowed to step down or people need to see him fired? What about the rest of the coaching staff? What about Jerry and Justin? :20- DANNY O’NEILL (The Dang Apostrophe) What would Danny like to see as far as Mariners moves getting made following this awful season? What does Danny want to say about Rick Rizzs and his career as a Mariners broadcaster? From one legendary broadcaster to… Graham Bensinger. What does Danny think about the Bensinger/MacDonald situation? :45- The Daily Power Play! Ville Ottavainen spoke with our own Mike Benton about his big fight and his fine from the league.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the Mariners postseason hopes officially coming to an end yesterday, we don’t want to focus on these last three meaningless games, but we do want to tank the man behind the mic. Rick Rizzs’ play-by-play career will come to an end on Sunday as he retires after 41 years. Thank you, Rick. :20- GREG COSELL (NFL Films) The Seahawks head to DC this weekend, so Greg helps us preview the matchup as we start with a look at the offense and Sam Darnold’s return. Defensively, the Seahawks are already without Ty Okada and could be without Julian Love too. What does Greg see from backup QB Marcus Mariota and this Commanders defense under Dan Quinn? :45- Do we have any concerns going into Sunday’s matchup with the Seahawks and Commanders?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sam Darnold spoke to the media today, will he play Sunday and what did QB 1 have to say to reporters? :20- ENO SARRIS (The Athletic) The Mariners playoff chances are slipping as the Rangers currently hold a 3-1 lead over the Mets… When it’s all said and done, why did the Mariners miss the playoffs this year? Can this team improve with the pieces they have already? :45- It’s time for the Daily Power Play as the Kraken season officially starts one week from today!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are o0ne week away from the start of the Kraken hockey season and the local hockey team is taking a page out of the local baseball team’s book with earlier start times. Weeknight home games will start at 6:40, just like the Mariners games; what do we think of the change? :20- ROSS TUCKER (CBS Sports/Westwood One) Ross was in Buffalo last week to see the opening of the Bills new stadium; what was that like? How surprised is he by Tampa Bay’s 0-2 start? We believe Darnold will get the start this weekend- as a former player would Ross start him or rest him one more week? Last week the Seahawks rotated Haynes and Stephens in place of Bradford- how can that affect the rest of the line? Jaxson Dart is done for the season for the Giants and he’s not the only big QB injury.. Aaron Rodgers is having a rough start to the season; does he still have it? What a coincidence… when the Bengals have a healthy QB, they look like a pretty good team. :45- What happened to DK Metcalf? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CORBIN SMITH (Emerald City Spectrum) Anthony Bradford is headed to IR, what’s that mean for this Seahawks’ O-Line? Sam is practicing today, so Sam or Drew? Who should start on Sunday in DC?

Could a 2-loss team make the college football playoff this year and just how big are some of this weekend’s games? :45- Remember that time…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did that Mike MacDonald audio leak out and how did they think to search fan videos to look at plays? :20- AJ BARNER (Seattle Seahawks) How has it been having Drew under center while Darnold is out? What goes through your mind when you see your QB go down and how easy was it to have confidence in Lock? How does Barner feel when everyone else is getting praise and it seems he defending Super Bowl champions are getting overlooked? :30- Seahawks Head Coach Mike MacDonald made headlines yesterday when video from a Graham Bensinger was put online that coach didn’t know was recorded. We catch our listeners up on what he actually said. :45- What did coach have to say today in reference to the leaked audio/video? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How about the three-way tie? How disappointing was this team this this season? Who wins the AL West and why? :45- It’s time for the Daily Power Play!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trade Drew Lock, really? Thanks Morning Show! You guys got us talking and we can’t see any reason why the Seahawks should trade Drew Lock! :20- Cougs Talking Cougs with ALEX BRINK and MKRISTO BRUCE The Cougs got their first win and the guys discuss. Next up, it’s Arizona…. What would the guys say to fans who are worried about players leaving every year and the current state of college football? :45- Yep! We’ve got to revisit this trade topic…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) There were some ugly games this weekend, but the Bears and Vikings had to be the ugliest. Can the Bears find a way to win without Caleb Williams? How concerned should Detroit fans be with their defense? Things aren’t looking good in Pittsburgh… We didn’t expect the Chargers to start 0-2… how much of that is on Justin Herbert? How did Mike feel about what he saw from Drew Lock and the Seahawks yesterday? How impressive is this Seahawks defense? :30- It’s time to check the talkback and texts before Ian makes his Fact or Fiction pick! :45- Here comes Softy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s time to Mollywhop! CHRIS CRAWFORD and NATHAN BISHOP join Ian as we head into the final week of the MLB regular season. If he Mariners are going to make a move, we expect them to do it quickly once the season ends. The Mariners are mathematically eliminated from the wildcard, but there’s still a sliver of a chance for them to win the AL West- how realistic is it? Nathan’s got to get something off his chest! Is it fair to criticize this front office or is just reactionary? What did Chris see from Kade Anderson over the weekend? :30- Imagine if the Mike MacDonald era never happened and Jody Allen had chosen Pete instead of John… :45- It’s time for the Daily Power Play! The Kraken have their first two preseason games under their belt and the young guys got most of the playing time before being sent back. Only two new players will suit up for this team, did they do enough? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s great to be a Seahawk fan! It’s hard not to love what we see from this team every week! :20- Hardcore Football with HUGH MILLEN What does a healthy Nick Emmanwori bring to this already dominant defense?

Happy Football Friday! It’s the day before the day before as the Seahawks gear up to face the Cardinals on Sunday and this game is a lot more nerve-wracking than we thought it would be before the season started as the Cardinals dismantled the Chargers last week and the Seahawks offense sputtered behind Drew Lock. How confident are we that this Seahawks team can hold Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals offense and give our offense a chance? :20- GREG COSELL (NFL Films) What a wild week one in the NFL- what did Greg think of it all? Next up for the Seahawks, it’s the Cardinals. How tough will Jacoby Brissett, Trey McBride and the Cardinals offense be on this Seahawks defense? And throw in Jeremiyah Love- how concerned should be about the rookie running back? :45- Are we feeling even more concerned about Sunday’s matchup after listening to Greg Cosell?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Chargers got blown out by the Cardinals- does that say more about LA or Arizona? The Rams did not look good against the Niners- was it fatigue or something else?
