Podcast appearances and mentions of brady henderson

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Super Bowl week pleading for the rarest gift in sports: a wire-to-wire Seahawks blowout with zero anxiety attached. Instead, they confront history, betting lines, and the uncomfortable reality that Seahawks–Patriots games almost never come easy, dissecting spreads, totals, MVP odds, and prop bets surrounding Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker, and the Seattle defense. ESPN insiders Mike Reiss and Brady Henderson join Mitch to trace the improbable parallel journeys of the Patriots and Seahawks from offseason uncertainty to Super Bowl 60. Reiss details how Mike Vrabel reshaped New England's culture around connection and accountability, while Henderson explains why Mike Macdonald's Seahawks are thriving on trust, depth, and collective buy-in rather than star power. The discussion zeroes in on Drake May's health, New England's offensive line vulnerabilities, Seattle's defensive front, and why the Seahawks are favored — while acknowledging that Patriots fans view this matchup as dangerous, not nostalgic. Mitch and Jason Puckett wrestle with the strangest part of Super Bowl 60 week: the complete absence of a believable reason the Seahawks should lose. They debate conspiracy theories, historical heartbreak, and why this matchup feels more like a gift than a grind, with comparisons to past Seattle sports collapses adding a layer of unease. Mitch reconnects with Dave Grosby to reflect on a defining week in Seattle sports history, Grosby's decades-long presence behind the microphone, and his upcoming honor from the American Parkinson Disease Association at the March 14 Magic of Hope Gala. Grosby shares a candid, deeply personal look at living with Parkinson's, the lack of a cure despite years of advocacy and fundraising led by figures like Michael J. Fox, and why continued research is critical. Peter King joins Mitch to unpack the shock of Bill Belichick not being a first-ballot Hall of Famer, offering rare insight into how Hall of Fame voting dynamics, strategic ballots, and a flawed system can produce surprising outcomes. The conversation shifts to Super Bowl 49 memories, lingering fallout inside the Seahawks locker room, and why the Seahawks–Patriots rematch echoes past championship blind spots where favorites felt inevitable — until they weren't.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott react in real time to the Seahawks' thrilling NFC Championship victory over the Rams and the surreal reality of Seattle heading to Super Bowl 60 as betting favorites. They reflect on preseason expectations, the emotional weight of surviving the Rams for a third time, and why this team feels like it's peaking at exactly the right moment. The segment also veers into classic Mitch Unfiltered trivia, from Alberta, Canada connections to Michael J. Fox and iconic musicians, before setting the table for a Super Bowl-centric week ahead. Ray Roberts breaks down why the Seahawks' NFC Championship victory over the Rams wasn't luck, but proof of a fully connected, resilient team built to withstand chaos and pressure. He explains how Seattle survived defensive breakdowns, Riq Woolen's near-disastrous penalty, and Matthew Stafford's efficiency by leaning on internal leadership, timely stops, and Sam Darnold's poise in the biggest game of his career. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down how the Seahawks survived another wild showdown with the Rams, praising Mike Macdonald's evolving brilliance and the team's collective resilience under pressure. The discussion highlights Sam Darnold's career-defining performance, late-game heroics from Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori, and the near-disastrous Riq Woolen penalty that could've changed Seattle sports history. Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking national championship run, explaining why Kurt Cignetti's rapid rebuild deserves historic praise despite the modern NIL and transfer landscape. He details how elite evaluation, culture, and buy-in — including key James Madison transfers — powered wins over Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami, culminating in a defining performance by Fernando Mendoza.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Unbelievable Is an Understatement — Seahawks Punch Ticket to Super Bowl 60 14:15 | The Retribution Tour Rolls On — Why the Seahawks Match Up Perfectly With the Patriots 33:55 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; The Best Team Won — Why This Seahawks Run Feels Different 54:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Brilliance Becoming Greatness — Seahawks Survive Chaos and Punch Super Bowl Ticket 1:16:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Worst to First — How Indiana Pulled Off the Most Unlikely Title Run in College Football History 1:41:47 | Other Stuff Segment: Baseball Hall of Fame voting frustration, Bryce Miller's 2024 bounce-back potential, Mariners acquiring Cooper Criswell from the Mets, Mike McCarthy returning to coach the Pittsburgh Steelers, NIL contract dispute involving Duke quarterback Darien Mensa, NIL legality and transfer portal implications, Abella Danger shown during Miami Hurricanes playoff broadcast, Chipotle publicity from Kurt Cignetti's "I Win Bowl," Chipotle rewards points story tied to Indiana football staffer, Fernando Mendoza championship celebration in Miami, ABBA's "Fernando" becoming Indiana's anthem, restrained Indiana fan behavior after national title win RIPs: Francis Buchholz (Scorpions bassist), John Brodie (former 49ers quarterback and NFL MVP), Jim Lovell (Apollo 13 commander) HEADLINES: Pet cow in Austria uses broom as a scratching tool, hearse spotted ordering food in a McDonald's drive-thru, man arrested for doing Corvette donuts in a church parking lot to impress a date, research suggests possible link between nose picking and Alzheimer's

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula.

They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Jason Puckett | (Pucksports) Seattle Sports Radio Host/Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Momentum, Memories, and Milestones — Seahawks–Rams III and a Walk Through January 19th History 18:58 | Three NFC Title Games, One Unanswered Question: Who Raises the 12th Man Flag This Time? 35:16 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts Saw the Blowout Coming — Why the Seahawks Are Peaking at Exactly the Right Time 1:04:35 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks–Rams Rubber Match Looms — Why Seattle Is Built for This Moment 1:27:02 | GUEST: Jason Puckett; Why the Rams Are the Seahawks' Real Problem — and Why This NFC Title Game Feels Inevitable 1:47:33 | Other Stuff Segment: Lil Jon halftime performance at Lumen Field, Seahawks home atmosphere and crowd energy, Little John diner in Bellevue/Issaquah, 2026 Seahawks outlook and salary cap space, Seahawks pending free agents (Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Riq Woolen, Coby Bryant), Denver Broncos quarterback injury and Jarrett Stidham starting AFC Championship, college football playoff expansion debate (12 vs 16 vs 24 teams), Big Ten vs SEC power struggle, Mike Tomlin stepping down as Steelers head coach, Kyle Tucker signing with Dodgers, Dodgers vs Marlins payroll disparity, Mariners spending frustration, Arizona high school basketball player Adrian Stubbs scoring 100 points, KISS internal feud over "Beth" songwriting credit.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Danny open Episode 366 sparring over Seahawks fan anxiety during a supposedly "relaxing" Wild Card weekend, as Mitch openly roots for any path that avoids the Rams. They break down why the Seahawks' fear factor is matchup-based rather than talent-based, react to the Rams' narrow escape against Carolina, and land on the uncomfortable truth: there are no easy games left. Plus, a little spirited Seahawks trivia showdown celebrating Jaxon Smith-Njigba's First Team All-Pro honor and revisiting the franchise's all-time elite. The conversation pivots to the Damon Williams saga at Washington, with both acknowledging a sharply divided Husky fanbase and debating whether Williams' return reflects genuine remorse or unavoidable financial and legal reality. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down the Seahawks' divisional-round matchup against the 49ers, debating whether Seattle avoided or invited its toughest possible playoff test. They examine health advantages coming off the bye, the danger Kyle Shanahan still poses, and why Seattle's offense must create early separation to avoid a tight finish. The conversation expands to Clint Kubiak's head-coaching buzz, potential internal replacements, and why Jaxon Smith-Njigba's first-team All-Pro nod may be the only individual honor a historically collective Seahawks defense was ever going to earn. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to dissect the Damon Williams soap opera at Washington, arguing the real villain isn't the player but a broken NIL system with zero transparency and a completely backward calendar. He bluntly accuses Lane Kiffin of tampering after missing on other quarterback targets, explaining how desperation and unchecked money have turned the portal into chaos. Neuheisel stresses that UW and Jed Fisch must now repair the relationship between Williams and the Husky fanbase, warning that without crowd buy-in at Husky Stadium, Washington's ceiling drops dramatically. Neuheisel dissects Ole Miss's final-play decision against Miami, explaining why failing to steal easy yardage doomed their comeback chances. He details how Indiana has built a mature, NFL-ready roster through NIL, experience, and elite defensive play, arguing the Hoosiers are now a true national power. Neuheisel also makes the case that quarterback Fernando Mendoza is a future NFL superstar and backs Indiana to cover and win the national championship.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Top seed anxiety sets in as Seahawks fans sweat the Rams, the 49ers survive, and Wild Card weekend delivers pure chaos. 7:28 | Danny's Seahawks Trivia 16:10 | Seahawks land the matchup they wanted, while Husky Nation fractures over the Damon Williams return. 39:24 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks brace for third showdown with 49ers as health, coaching churn, and playoff pressure collide. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 1; Neuheisel unloads on NIL chaos, Lane Kiffin's quarterback scramble, and why the Damon Williams saga may finally force college football to fix itself. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 2; Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking dominance, Ole Miss's late-game failure, and why Kurt Signetti and Fernando Mendoza have changed college football's power structure. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: Indiana vs Miami (apostrophe ruling), Indiana's head coach meteoric rise & long-term program outlook, Pete Carroll Hall of Fame candidacy vs Mike Holmgren, Clint Kubiak head-coaching interest and Seahawks OC succession, Charles Cross contract extension evaluation, John Harbaugh dismissal and league-wide appeal, Matt Khalil lawsuit over invasion of privacy claims, Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs and Mariners fit question

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the Seahawks' latest statement win and the stunning reality that a team widely projected to finish under .500 now sits two home wins away from the Super Bowl. They break down why this run feels different from past Seahawks contenders, examine the favorable NFC landscape, and agree there's only one opponent that truly scares them: the Rams. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' ability to run between the tackles and control tempo was the true difference in their win over San Francisco, giving the offense "the remote control" of the game. He details how Mike Macdonald's defense shut down Brock Purdy by eliminating explosive plays, dominating tackles, and keeping constant pressure, while also addressing the benefits and risks of Seattle's first-round bye as they sit two home wins from the Super Bowl.

The conversation turns to expectations that now come with the No. 1 seed, health heading into the divisional round, and whether any NFC team — Rams included — can realistically challenge Seattle at Lumen Field. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to explain how the College Football Playoff quarterfinals exposed the new reality of college football, from Miami's physical formula to Indiana's suffocating defense and Oregon's offensive limitations. He unpacks the NIL and transfer-portal frenzy surrounding stars like Trinidad Chambliss, predicts massive seven-figure payouts for elite quarterbacks, and calls the current system "absolute craziness" headed for a reset.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman; Seahawks Radio Network analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks surge into Super Bowl contention as surprise NFC powerhouse — but one matchup still looms large. 16:10 | Seahawks dominate 49ers with elite defense and punishing run game in statement win at Santa Clara. 39:24 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts breaks down Seahawks' physical dominance, elite defense, and Super Bowl–ready mindset after silencing the 49ers. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks clinch NFC's top seed as dominant defense, punishing run game, and composure separate contenders from pretenders. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel dives into CFP chaos, NIL madness, and why Indiana and Ole Miss are built to crash college football's old order. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: College Football Playoff Final Four, Indiana's dominance, Ole Miss upsetting Georgia, Miami upsetting Ohio State, Trinidad Chambliss eligibility and NIL bidding war, Lane Kiffin grocery basket incident, Washington transfer portal departures, DeMon Williams NIL deal and return to UW, Tiger Woods 50th birthday and Champions Tour eligibility, Rachel Uchitel wedding, USC–Notre Dame rivalry potentially ending, Lenny Dykstra arrest controversy, Tom Bodett and Motel 6 lawsuit settlement, Philip Rivers comeback reflection RIPs: Isaiah Whitlock (Actor — The Wire, Da 5 Bloods), Brigitte Bardot (French actress, global sex symbol), Melanie Watson Bernhardt (Actress — Diff'rent Strokes) Headlines Segment: German man sets Guinness record with over 11,000 snow globes, Scientists discover strange lemon-shaped planet that could "sour" your mood, Dating site grows for men with the world's smallest penis, Government releases list of the 25 worst items removed from people's bodies in 2025

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games.

Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia.

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O'Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: "a win is a win" vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer's statement reads like a true "not leaving" while Fisch's sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they "punted the first half away," can't believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks' 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold's uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team. Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won't get another head-coaching opportunity.

RUNDOWN   Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star"). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence. Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald. Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors. Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is. RJ notes that the offense remains among the league's weakest, while Dylan credits new head coach Lane Lambert for installing a defense-first system that maximizes effort and structure.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion RJ Eskanos | Co-Founder, Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Analyst, Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Mafia Mitch to Cher in Fresno — Episode 357 Starts with a Bang 14:40 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 19:20 | From Lenny's Legacy to Mr. Playoffs: Seahawks Roll to 7–2 and Dream of the NFC's Top Seed 35:17 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Déjà Vu Defense: Two Scoop-and-Scores, a Surging Run Game, and Seattle's NFC Statement Win 57:53 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Disaster in Madison, Trickery in L.A., and Oil-Money Football: Rick Neuheisel Dares to Dip 1:29:42 | GUEST: Kraken No-Table; Effort, Defense, and a Little Luck: Can the Kraken Keep Floating Above the Ice? 1:49:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend "Scooter", Mariners free agency (Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Mitch Garver, bullpen decisions), debate on re-signing Suárez vs. internal options, Matt Kalil divorce/CamSoda "offer" saga, USC's Sam Huard fake-punt jersey trick, Mark Sanchez fired by FOX & replaced by Drew Brees, Erik Spoelstra house fire note, Antonio Brown arrest & attempted murder charges, Indiana volleyball assistant coach gambling infractions, Guardians pitchers betting scandal & "is everything rigged?" angst RIPs: Mia Hammond (21-year-old Washington women's soccer goalkeeper), Paul Tagliabue (former NFL commissioner), Marshawn Kneeland (Cowboys DE, 24), Victor Conte (BALCO figure), Dick Cheney (former U.S. Vice President), Diane Ladd (Oscar-nominated actress) HEADLINES: Donald Trump "deny visas to fat people" bit, Dave Ramsey's "15–20 houses for God" rant, Kim Kardashian underwear with built-in pubic hair, Matt Kalil "two Coke cans" closer gag
