The Rams just traded for Myles Garrett. We break down the blockbuster deal and what it means for LA's Super Bowl window. The NBA Finals are here. We break down Spurs vs. Knicks, whether we're witnessing the birth of a new dynasty, and we're making our pick: San Antonio in 6, Wemby wins Finals MVP. Then we head to the AL West, where the Mariners have taken first place on a six-game winning streak without Cal Raleigh while a piggyback rotation experiment has Luis Castillo confronting Dan Wilson mid-game. We also get into Justin Herbert skipping two weeks of Chargers OTAs to fly to Europe for Madison Beer's concert tour. Harbaugh said he offered Herbert a ride to the airport. We're asking whether that's the right call or a red flag for a franchise still searching for its first deep playoff run. Finally, we discuss Chet Holmgren's brutal series against the Spurs, the Chet vs. Wemby debate, and what his future looks like in OKC.

Brian Bogusevic on Astros Recent Stretch & Their Position in the AL West

Marcus Trufant joins us in studio and discusses what OTAs mean from a player's perspective. He also gives us some insight on what his foundation is doing right now and a charitable tournament coming up this summer. The Seahawks should not be getting a new stadium. The Mariners can be in first place in the AL West in two days, so why does it seem like fans are angry as ever? Expectations. Mollywhop Monday with Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop! The guys talk "Piggyback Gate" and hedge on the criticism it's getting. Mollywhop continues! How bad is the Mariners defense? The Daily Power Play! John Lund, Unleashed and Westwood One joins us ON TIME fresh off a national live show. Everything is Knicks in his universe right now, but will they win it all?

He also discusses mentoring young players and who's taken him under their wings in his career. Checking in on the Text Line! Crosstalk with Softy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thank goodness the Mariners are giving us a lot to talk about these days! JP Crawford is showing what a great leader he truly is and he could be the new Mariners' third baseman. Crawford seems to be handing the torch to young Colt Emerson and making it known that he wants to be a Mariner for life and will help this team however he can. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners got a much-needed series win against the White Sox after a 5-4 win at T Mobile Park yesterday. The offense put some runs on the board and the pitching staff held the Sox off just enough to get the W. :45- The Thunder beat the Spurs in game 2 of the Western Conference Finals and evened the series at 1 game a piece. We aren't worried. We do have an idea of how we want this series to go though! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They discuss Corey Seager's placement on the injured list and the pitching strategy for Kumar Rocker's next start. The conversation shifts to a debate on whether the front office should consider selling at the trade deadline while still in the hunt for a weak AL West division title.

The Texas Rangers are still only one game out of first place in the AL West after their series opening loss to the Colorado Rockies, which means it's NOT time for them to be sellers.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 383 by marveling at the bizarre obsession surrounding the NFL schedule release, questioning why fans and media treat dates and kickoff times like breaking world events. And then, they break down the Seahawks' newly released schedule, from the bizarre Rams clustering and overloaded prime time slate to the brutal late-season stretch loaded with short weeks and playoff-caliber opponents. The conversation turns into a bigger NFC West discussion, with Mitch quietly predicting San Francisco wins the division while Seattle lands at 11–6 and grabs a wild card spot. Mitch, Brady, and Joe dissect a Mariners club that suddenly looks lifeless after another ugly series loss to San Diego, with injuries piling up and the offense disappearing again. The conversation centers on whether Colt Emerson's promotion can inject energy into a flat clubhouse, why Seattle's veteran-heavy roster may lack emotional spark, and whether the AL West being mediocre is the only thing keeping the season afloat right now. Mitch and Puck bounce from petty website slights and Tiger Woods speculation into a spirited debate over Cal Raleigh playing hurt and the Mariners' late-game strategy. The real fireworks come when Mitch unveils his theory that the NFL intentionally put Mike Vrabel and the Patriots in a primetime opener against Seattle.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren'ts / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Why NFL Schedule Release Day Feels Like a National Holiday, Mariners Frustration, and the Show's Weekly Birthday and Music Trivia Segment 14:09 | NFL Drops Seahawks Schedule — Brutal Stretches, Prime Time Chaos & Niners Fear 31:57 | Mariners No-Table: Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle — Mariners analysts breaking down Seattle's mounting injuries, clubhouse energy issues, and the debut of top prospect Colt Emerson. 56:05 | KJ-Aren't's Jason Puckett: Mitch Thinks the NFL Just Punished Mike Vrabel on National TV 1:13:55 | Other Stuff Segment: Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano disappointment, Tyson Fury's teenage daughter getting married, PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai and his iron covers story, Shohei Ohtani's historic two-way dominance, Kyle Schwarber's absurd home run pace, Tiger Woods returning from Swiss rehab, Mitch's Palm Beach airport stories, Carl Pavano divorce allegations, Desmond Mason arrest and memorabilia dispute, fake Caitlin Clark engagement rumors, Perry Como vs. Sinatra debate, Dr. Hook memories HEADLINES 14-year-old steals a bus for the third time in six months, hantavirus allegedly linked to penis shrinkage, Maine students accidentally fed dirt at school, suckerfish swimming inside manta rays causing "issues" RIPs Brandon Clark, Jason Collins, Charlie Young, Craig Morton, Lou Graham, Jim Colbert, Rex Reed, Donald Gibb, Dennis Locorriere

Ian tells us about his weekend and he had a great time at Cheney Stadium watching the Rainiers. He pays tribute to what Tacoma does to create an awesome environment for the fans. The Mariners are inconsistent, which might be their best attribute right now. There is a net positive from getting guys healthy, but the lack of offensive production throughout the Padres sweep in Seattle is troubling. The AL West allows the Mariners to sleepwalk through this division, so that's good news - but they need to get it going. The NFL schedule is out, and Ian is wondering why the league even doesn't know why they bother doing a huge show on the NFL Network when the leaks let us know what games will happen. Ian tells you what he thinks about the matchups and dates we see on the Seahawks' schedule. The NFL made some good decisions when it comes to primetime.12:45 - Ian likes the changeup with NBC/Peacock doing Sunday Night Baseball. However, he takes issues with some points made. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join to breakdown the Mariners getting swept by the Padres this weekend. How fair is the criticism toward Dan Wilson right now? Chris has plenty to say about it right now but also doesn't think the team will make a change right now. Chris says he would consider it because Wilson isn't making them better right now. Nathan brings up all the positive things we're seeing at the plate and in the field, and despite the losses we're seeing, there's plenty to be happy about. Nathan also weighs in on Dan Wilson. There are plenty of stats that back up the poor performance of Wilson as a manager. Chris and Nathan discuss the handling of Cal Raleigh's injury and what that looks like moving forward. Mollywhop finishes off to discuss Colt Emmerson and what the realistic expectations for him as he just recently got called up. They preview the series with the White Sox. Ian wraps up our Mollywhop conversation and doesn't like to call for people's jobs, but this is going to be a serious series for Dan Wilson with the White Sox. The team can't scuffle right now, but it's not necessarily all on Dan Wilson. Aaron Rai wins the PGA Championship, and Ian pays tribute to what he did this weekend, as well as what his family did for him growing up. Ian finally gets to break down the Seahawks schedule as it was released last week. He takes issue with the fact they're ending their season for the third straight year on back-to-back road games. We check in on the talkbacks and texts and finally, talk to Softy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We aren't watching very good baseball right now. How much of a role is Dan Wilson playing in the Mariners lack of success? Colt's here now and we wish it would have been under better circumstances, but hopefully it's for good. :30- DEREK BERG (PNW Golf Academy) Ashley caught up with local golfer and friend, Derek Berg to find out about his experience playing in his first ever PGA tour event and a major at that! :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and SCOTT MERKIN (White Sox/MLB.com) Would anyone have thought the White Sox would be doing so well to start the season? How did the Sox land Murakami and how big of a deal is he to this team? How much credit are Sox fans giving Will Venable for getting the most out of this roster? Is this team real, can they actually contend? :30- What a weekend it was at the PGA Championship. The 2nd major of the year had all of the elements you are looking for in a tournament, with a lot of lead changes, big names in contention and incredible shots, along with a life changing win for Aaron Rai. :45- It's time to talk about Other People's Quarterbacks And there's only one QB to talk about today- Aaron Rodgers will return to the Steelers for one more season. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have a team filled with injuries, playing bad baseball and managed by a bad manager right now… it was another ugly weekend for the Mariners. What should have been an exciting moment feel flat as Colt Emerson was called up from Tacoma in more of an emergency, last minute scenario and not at all how we had hoped the call-up would happen. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners got swept by the Padres over the weekend and swept the season, taking home the coveted Vedder Cup. George Kirby started out looking good, but then the 6th inning happened and it certainly didn't help that the team managed just one hit all game. :45- The NBA conference finals begin tonight with OKC and the Spurs facing off. Could the Spurs continue their in-season success against the Thunder? People were not happy with Shams for leaking the MVP award news; honest mistake or planned leak? Should the real conversation be how on earth SGA won it again over Jokic? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SPENCER HAWES joins the show to help us preview the Conference Finals. The Western Conference Finals start tonight, what will it take for the Spurs to take down the Thunder? Should SGA have won the MVP award? What happened to Detroit? It's Cleveland vs New York in the East- let's break it down. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - A is for aggravating- we are watching a very aggravating brand of baseball. - B is for Brash- He has to be ready by now, so why haven't we reinstated him? - C is for Colt- Colt Emerson was brought up to Seattle yesterday and he may have had the best at-bats of anyone. - D is for detention- Leo Rivas is in detention and not allowed to challenge anything anymore. :45- We had a couple playoff elimination games and that means some people went fishing!

In the second hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain chat with Brett Boone about Cal Raleigh hitting the IL and what led to the decision, what the team should do with Luis Castillo and the possibility of rolling with a 6-man rotation. They touch on Luke Raley and should he continue to only start against righties. Also, is this the end of the dominant Astros as we know them? They also talk about how weak the AL West is and that it’s the Mariners division to win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot dive into the growing obsession surrounding Mariners prospects Cade Anderson and Colt Emerson, debating the impossible question every fan wrestles with: when is a young star actually "ready"? Mitch argues the bigger story right now might be the excitement around the kids in the minors rather than the inconsistent big-league club itself. The Mariners No-Table crew reacts to Seattle wasting another opportunity to gain ground in the AL West after dropping a series to the White Sox, with the conversation centering on Cal Raleigh's brutal slump, a lineup that can't hit with runners in scoring position, and whether the offense is fundamentally flawed. Joe Doyle questions whether Rob Refsnyder's roster spot is already in jeopardy, while Brady Farkas warns the team is running out of time to keep calling these stretches "frustrating." Christian Caple joins Mitch to break down the strange reality of opening the season with the Apple Cup, why the Demond Jr. Williams NIL saga probably won't matter unless he struggles, and whether fans are already primed to overreact to every interception. They also dig into Washington's biggest roster questions — especially at running back after Adam Mohammed's departure — plus why Jedd Fisch is betting heavily on young talent instead of portal mercenaries. Derek Berg joins Mitch to talk about the long, winding golf journey that finally landed him in the PGA Championship at age 44 — from getting dropped off at Carnation Golf Course as a kid to grinding through mini tours, teaching lessons, and surviving years of close calls at the PGA Professional Championship. It's a candid, emotional conversation about chasing a dream long after most people would've quit.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Christian Caple | Washington Huskies insider and publisher of On Montlake Derek Berg | PGA teaching pro, former University of Washington golfer, and PGA Championship qualifier   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Cade Anderson Fever, Colt Emerson Hype & A Birthday Trivia Spiral 23:21 | Mariners No-Table: Cal Raleigh Panic, Castillo Concerns & a Frustrating Mariners Reality Check 46:01 | Christian Caple: Apple Cup Opener, Demond Drama & UW's Playoff Ceiling 1:08:48 | Derek Berg: From Carnation Golf Course to the PGA Championship, qualifying at 44 years old. 1:36:46 | Other Stuff Segment: Seahawks signing Dante Fowler Jr., Seahawks ownership sale reportedly drawing fewer bidders than expected, rookie RB Jeremiah Love landing record guaranteed money, Trevor Bauer offering to return to MLB for free, Brewers flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski throwing 102-mph heat to the Yankees, Austin Reaves feuding with NBA officials during Lakers playoff loss, Tarik Skubal undergoing elbow surgery, new developments in the JPMorgan scandal settlement offer, Jaime Pressly launching an OnlyFans account, pull-up world record set by Xavier Dillard, fraud lawsuit against Shawne Merriman, Mitch's childhood obsession with the Atlanta Braves, WTBS and cable TV nostalgia, Rick Camp's legendary extra-inning home run story, Ted Turner's influence on baseball fandom and cable television RIPs: John Sterling, Ted Turner, Bobby Cox Headlines: Strongman pulls a car with his penis while on fire, off-duty Secret Service agent arrested for public self-pleasure incident, woman delivers baby in car while driving 60 MPH, Ted Turner's children react to massive charitable giving pledge, red fox stows away from England to America on cargo ship
