The Mariners just blew it last night and while Ian acknowledges that we might not know everything that went into the decisions that were made, we're allowed to be critical. It's a bad look that Dan Wilson doesn't know the rules. Dan Wilson and Bryce Miller both responded to last night's game and we take a listen to what they had to say. Why take Bryce out when he did? Luis Castillo is too valuable to be a reliever. A wild card spot is not good enough for the Mariners this year. John Canzano, Bald Faced Truth joins Ian to talk about all of the horrible coaching and managing decisions he's seen throughout his career. Sports are supposed to be interesting. He gives us the truth behind what's going on with Tom Dundon and the Trailblazers. How and why did Adam Silver let this happen? John fills us in on the "new Pac-12" and what's going on with the Mountain West lawsuit. We also hear from Iowa State's AD, who says we should all break away from these new 'power conferences'. The realignment we're continuing to see in college football remains greedy. The power plays we're seeing are ruining what makes the sport great and Ian misses the true competition. In The Daily Power Play, Ian tells you why you should be paying attention to the NHL playoffs. The NHL and NBA playoffs are underway right now. Ian says he does not plan to watch the Pukes and Spurs tonight, but he will confess if he ends up doing so. Although Ian hates the Pukes with a passion, he very much respects what Sam Presti has done. Ian relates it back to Seattle. Does OKC still live in your head?

BYU football head coach Kalani Sitake recalled his talks with Penn State to On3's Pete Nakos. In Sitake's commentary, he noted, "It all works out the way it's supposed to." How critical was it for BYU to retain Sitake? KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper explores that. Sitake turning down Penn State led to the Nittany Lions hiring former Iowa State coach Matt Campbell. Campbell's old employer, ISU, made some headlines when AD Jamie Pollard said the SEC/Big Ten should break away. Would that be a good thing? Athlon Sports has Bear Bachmeier on the cover of the 2026 preview on the West Coast. They rolled out their preview, and Mitch shared some initial thoughts. Then, finally, some news and notes from the basketball recruiting trail, as BYU basketball was well-represented at various Live Period events on the circuit over the weekend.
