Chris Crawford, My oh Why joins Ian to talk about the Mariners' dismal performance as of late. What is going wrong? Injuries do play a part, but they're hardly the sole reason for the struggles. Chris Crawford sticks with us to talk about Major League Baseball’s latest proposal to the Major League Baseball Player’s Association contains a limit for max contract length. Chris breaks down what it means. The cap isn't the issue, it's the floor. The Mariners were a combined 2-20 with RISP their last two games and have become way to homerun reliant. Bryan Woo cannot pitch effectively on the road. Bigger picture, MLB's proposal to limit max contracts and what's next with the salary cap could see a work stoppage. Eno Sarris, The Athletic joins Ian to tell us what's going on with the Mariners pitching staff right now and what happens to aging arms.

We shouldn't have to wait for the rest of the conference to suck to believe in the Mariners' ability to get to and win in the postseason.

Ian tells you why day three is so important for the Seahawks throughout their history and the gems they found. Was yesterday's post-draft. Ross Tucker, CBS Sports gives Ian his impressions of the first round of the NFL draft and the Seahawks picking Jadarian Price at 32.

We look back at the Rams pick at #13 in Ty Simpson - what were they thinking? We listen to Rob Rang's take on Jadarian Price before the draft.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini welcomes back former U.S. Olympian and elite professional boxer Danny O'Connor to discuss the dangerous intersection of weight-class sports and eating disorders. Danny pulls back the curtain on his 15-year career, revealing how extreme weight cutting and binge eating became a normalized, secret struggle that eventually landed him in the ICU on the brink of a world championship fight. By sharing his journey from his 2013 "epiphany" to his current role as an advocate and author of Weight Class, Danny challenges the stigma surrounding male eating disorders. He explores the psychological shift from "discipline" to a total loss of control and offers a roadmap for recovery that emphasizes honest awareness, multifaceted professional support, and finding the "footholds" necessary to stay the course toward healing.

Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder by Danny O'Connor In Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder (Bite Like A Man; February 17, 2026), former Olympic boxer and professional champion Danny O'Connor delivers a searing, deeply personal memoir that confronts one of sport's most overlooked crises: eating disorders in male athletes. From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O'Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse—was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. Told with unflinching honesty, Weight Class traces O'Connor's 20-year battle with an eating disorder fought largely in silence—hidden from coaches, fans and even family. His story challenges the misconception that eating disorders are a “female issue” and exposes how weight-regulated sports can reinforce dangerous behaviors when education and early intervention are absent. More than a sports memoir, Weight Class is a powerful account of survival and recovery. O'Connor examines the physical, mental and emotional toll of life on the scale, while also documenting the long, difficult work of reclaiming health, identity and purpose beyond competition. For parents, coaches and athletes entering weight-class sports, Weight Class serves as a necessary warning. For the millions of men and women struggling with eating disorders in silence, it offers something rarer: recognition, understanding and hope. Since retiring from professional boxing, Danny has become a leading advocate for awareness of eating disorders among men and athletes worldwide. Danny O'Connor is a former elite professional boxer who grew up outside of Boston and was a member of the 2008 United States Olympic Boxing Team. As an accomplished amateur, he captured multiple national titles, including the US National Championships and the National Golden Gloves, establishing himself as one of the top fighters of his generation. O'Connor turned professional in 2008 and competed at the highest levels of the sport for more than a decade. He compiled a professional record of thirty-one wins and held the WBC International Silver Super Lightweight Championship. Over the course of his career, he fought on major televised platforms, including ESPN, Showtime, CBS Sports, and Fox Sports 1, and competed in prominent venues across the United States. Following his professional career, O'Connor became a vocal advocate for weight-class sports and eating disorders in men. Through his book, Weight Class, he gives a voice to the millions of men who suffer in silence, drawing directly from his career in boxing and his firsthand experience battling an eating disorder in and out of the ring. Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder by Danny O'Connor Bite Like A Man LLC; February 17, 2026 ISBN (paperback): 979-8-9945283-0-3 ISBN (eBook): 979-8-9945283-2-7 Weight Class: A Fighter's Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder by former Olympic boxer Danny O'Connor. O'Connor provides a voice to the millions of men who suffer in silence from one of sport's most overlooked crises: eating disorders in male athletes. From high school wrestling to the Olympic Games, to a professional boxing career at the highest level, extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging, collapse—was not only tolerated but normalized as preparation. Over time, discipline became self-destruction

From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O'Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse—was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. Told with unflinching honesty, Weight Class traces O'Connor's 20-year battle with an eating disorder fought largely in silence—hidden from coaches, fans and even family. His story challenges the misconception that eating disorders are a “female issue” and exposes how weight-regulated sports can reinforce dangerous behaviors when education and early intervention are absent. More than a sports memoir, Weight Class is a powerful account of survival and recovery. O'Connor examines the physical, mental and emotional toll of life on the scale, while also documenting the long, difficult work of reclaiming health, identity and purpose beyond competition. For parents, coaches and athletes entering weight-class sports, Weight Class serves as a necessary warning. For the millions of men and women struggling with eating disorders in silence, it offers something rarer: recognition, understanding and hope.Since retiring from professional boxing, Danny has become a leading advocate for awareness of eating disorders among men and athletes worldwide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
What does it take to endure heartbreak, injuries, and years of near-misses—and still rise to Olympic gold? In this expert interview, Jim Ramos talks with Olympic figure skater Danny O'Shea and he opens up about the long, gritty road to the top. He pulls back the curtain on multiple Olympic cycles filled with partner changes, financial sacrifice, and brutal setbacks—including a concussion, torn bicep, sports hernia, and even skating on a broken foot to help secure U.S. Olympic qualification spots. If you're facing setbacks, chasing a dream, or trying to stay the course when it gets hard, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

A former top-ranked contender, Danny has competed on the world stage for nearly two decades, fighting on major networks like Showtime, ESPN, CBS Sports, and Fox Sports 1. He represented Team USA on the 2008 Olympic Boxing Team and has been a dominant force in the ring as both a U.S. Nationals Champion and multi-time international competitor. Beyond the ropes, Danny's commitment to trauma-informed care and youth advocacy is reflected in his certifications in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), his training in Chris Germer's Mindful Self-Compassion, and completion of the University of Massachusetts Medical School's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program. As a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), he has directly supported youth navigating the foster care and judicial systems. Drawing from his lived experience, Danny and his wife Diane co-founded DO Boxing Academy, a groundbreaking mobile, non-contact fitness boxing program rooted in a whole-child approach to development. The program fosters social, emotional, mental, and physical growth through a proprietary blend of boxing fundamentals, mindfulness practices, yoga, and trauma-informed curriculum developed in collaboration with licensed mental health clinicians. DO Boxing Academy partners with organizations to deliver on-site enrichment programming, with a focus on serving at-risk and underserved youth.
