The guys bounce from 19th-century presidential conspiracies to the grim reality of the New York Jets' quarterback carousel. After debating whether modern society would actually care if a massive Abraham Lincoln assassination cover-up dropped today (and taking a quick detour into the FCC's rules on cursing inspired by George Carlin), it's back to the gridiron. The crew brutally assesses Zach Wilson's extinct NFL future, comparing his trajectory to Sam Darnold's redemption arc, and debates where a newly released Geno Smith fits into the backup QB landscape. Finally, they highlight the biggest under-the-radar offseason priority in New York: why re-signing offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker is an absolute must, regardless of his injury history or projected $14 million market value.

In this jam-packed segment, we kick things off with the return of Mets and Yankees baseball, breaking down the actual storylines of spring training—from top prospects like Carson Benge to the MLB's new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system. We explain why the TV strike zone box is disappearing and how the new challenge rules will impact players and fans alike. Switching gears to the gridiron, we debate the Jets' quarterback options, detailing why Zach Wilson is universally crossed off the free-agent list and why Geno Smith might actually be a viable backup option. Then, we make an impassioned plea regarding the one Jets free agent no one is talking about: Alijah Vera-Tucker. To top it all off, we take a hilarious detour into historical hypotheticals, asking the ultimate pop-culture question: if we found out Mary Todd Lincoln was behind Abe's assassination, would anyone with today's short attention spans actually care?

RUNDOWN   Episode 371 opens with Mitch's Saturday night unraveling after watching Song Sung Blue and realizing the Buddy Holly–impersonating character played by Michael Imperioli is allegedly his celebrity twin — a comparison he loudly rejects as it derails the entire movie. With Hotshot fanning the flames, the show pivots into the annual Prediction Show recap, replaying last year's bold Seahawks takes — including a seven-win forecast and Mike Macdonald job jeopardy — before grading every prediction and crowning a 2025 champion. Mitch revisits last year's Prediction Show, replaying Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O'Neil's confident forecasts for 2025 — from Russell Wilson's salary and Geno Smith's future to Mike Macdonald's job security and a Seahawks Super Bowl run no one predicted. The segment tracks hits, misses, and wildly wrong calls, including gloomy seven-win projections and John Schneider pink slips that never came. With halftime scoring tallied and bragging rights on the line, the stage is set for Episode 372's official crowning of the 2025 Prediction Champion. The second half of the 2025 Prediction Show grading delivers more swings and misses as Mitch revisits bold calls from Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O'Neil on Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh's contract, Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, Tiger Woods, NBA expansion, and Sam Darnold's future. From Oklahoma City's title run to Pete Carroll playoff dreams and wild card chaos involving Jeff Bezos and the Kraken, the predictions range from razor-close to wildly off base. Mitch and Professor Slick bask in the lingering glow of the Seahawks' Super Bowl championship before veering into breaking "news" that Mitch left his iconic bell in Santa Clara — sparking a hilarious Rocky-inspired replacement plan involving Bunco night. The conversation shifts to spring training, where Slick sounds early alarms about the Mariners' pitching depth and offensive ceiling, while Mitch pushes back with optimism centered on Bryce Miller's return to form.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst Professor Slick | Seattle sports commentator and longtime Seahawks fan favorite   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Doppelgänger Meltdown, Birthday Roll Call, and the Prediction Show Reckoning 19:09 | Prediction Show Reckoning — Revisiting the Bold (and Brutal) 2025 Forecasts. 34:37 | Prediction Show Reckoning, Part II — Bold Claims, Wild Cards, and a Surprise Champion 49:03 | GUEST: Professor Slick; "I Left My Bell in Santa Clara" — Super Bowl Afterglow, Aging, and Early Mariners Anxiety 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: Jason Puckett wins 2025 Prediction Show title, David Crosby predicts Seahawks win 7 games and miss playoffs, Canadian curler Mark Kennedy profanity blowup at Sweden's Oscar Erickson over alleged rock-touching violation, Mitch's Winter Olympics viewing habits and curling being "hypnotic", 12th Man Rising floats Seahawks sale idea to Mackenzie Scott and Melinda Gates, NBA All-Star Weekend boredom and Mac McClung dunk contest absence, viral AI "Michael Jordan" dunk contest rant, Adam Silver expansion comments with Seattle + Las Vegas timeline frustration, Mariners nearly reaching World Series plus Seahawks Super Bowl creating "Seattle sports trifecta" potential with NBA return, Charlie Woods commits to Florida State over Stanford, Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker Disneyland teacups video, Tyson vs Mayweather tease, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Lægreid(?) emotional cheating confession post-medal interview, Joey Porter Sr. blasts Ben Roethlisberger as a bad teammate/person, Stefon Diggs arraignment over alleged assault of personal chef, Britney Spears sells music catalog rights to Primary Wave for $200M RIPs: James VanDerBeek, Tracy Scroggins

Matt Jones and Drew Franklin are back in Kentucky and watched the Seahawks become Super Bowl Champions! Matt notes the rough night had by Will Campbell, but just how good are the Seahawks? Matt looks ahead to next season and how Seatte's schedule will play out? Drew was impressed by the showing from Seahawks fans in San Francisco. It was a tough. night for Drake Maye and most of the Patriots. Matt wonders if this performance follows him into next season. Recapping the music from the Super Bowl, Matt enjoyed the storytelling during the halftime show, but wished the cameos had more time. Looking back at the season, Matt wonders if this was a changing of the guard or just an anomaly of a year that was wildly entertaining. Does Seattle just run it back with this squad mostly intact? The Patriots path gets much harder next season. The Bears and Patriots were probably a year ahead of schedule, but when does Matt expect to see Chicago in the Super Bowl? Plus, is there a QB that be a diamond in the rough next year like Sam Darnold did for the Seahawks?

The Seahawks traded DK Metcalf to the Steelers and Geno Smith to the Raiders after a 10-7 season along with firing their offensive coordinator after last season, which led to some thinking they were rebuilding. They were just retooling. They made shrewd moves and nailed the draft in the last 4 seasons in pursuit to a dominant Seahawks victory in Super Bowl LX. Being bold paid off – that doesn't always work, but for Seattle it did. NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. With the Steelers in need of another WR, Ryan told the guys it is a ‘deep' group in the 2026 class. Ryan said Carnell Tate is probably out of the question, but there is a slew of WRs behind him that will be on the Steelers board at 21st overall. Denzel Boston and Jordyn Tyson are the top two names Ryan gave the guys. Ryan pointed out some receivers that will be around on the second night of the selection process. Makai Lemon drew comparisons to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who just won a Super Bowl and OPOY. Ryan told the guys why the Steelers should probably stay away from Ty Simpson in the 1st round. Ryan reminded us that he had Will Howard as a 2nd or 3rd round projection last year in the draft, but of course he fell to the 6th round and pick 185. He added that he would like to see what Mike McCarthy can do with Howard as his QB1. If the Steelers take a QB this year, will it be Garrett Nussmeier due to his relationship with McCarthy? Ryan thinks Nussmeier is a Day 3 pick. Donny Football Debrief – What does the salary cap space look like for the Steelers heading into the offseason?

Seattle's win reframes the path for Detroit Seattle lifted the Lombardi, and the day after on the Detroit Lions Podcast Jeff Risdon laid it out plainly. The Detroit Lions can follow that model. He even circled February 15 next year as a date this city can chase. Seattle went 10-7 in 2024 and missed the playoffs. They moved on from Pete Carroll. They swapped Geno Smith for Sam Darnold, a quarterback with a lower floor but a higher ceiling. Many mocked that decision. Darnold just won the Super Bowl. That matters for the NFL and for the Lions. Jared Goff can do what Darnold did. Goff is better than Darnold. He does not need to be a lottery-ticket quarterback to win. The league's trend line says a really good team that wins in multiple ways can take it all. That is where Detroit lives. What Seattle did, and how Detroit matches it Seattle won with an exceptional defense. They mixed coverages. Jones and the safeties were disciplined. Devon Witherspoon filled a Brian Branch type of role. The Seahawks generated pressure by committee. No single alpha, but several rushers affected the pocket. It looked more like how the Eagles win than how Detroit typically rushes, but the approach travels in January. On offense, Seattle leaned on a power run game. Kenneth Walker was the MVP. His jump-cut and bounce outside when a linebacker filled the gap flipped downs. Jahmyr Gibbs can do that. He already has. A rookie offensive lineman, Dion Grey Campbell, stepped in and helped. If the Lions are healthy, their line is not behind that group. Taylor Decker's health was a problem last year, but the baseline is strong. Jackson Smith-Njigba took home NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He earned it. Is he that much better than Amon-Ra St. Brown? Different styles, same tier of impact. A healthy Sam LaPorta stacks up better than any tight end Seattle put out there. AJ Barnes, the Michigan man, even snared a touchdown. Detroit has that complementary piece in Brock Wright. The checklist to make it real in Detroit The Lions are close, and the NFL is moving toward how they are built. It still requires boxes checked. Injury luck. A very good Jared Goff season. A strong offseason. Brian Branch getting healthy quickly. More versatility in coverage and sustained pass-rush depth so the pressure never fades, even without one headline star. None of this guarantees a parade. But Seattle proved the window is open for teams like these Lions. The path is not theoretical. It is on film, and Detroit has the personnel to walk it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #seattleseahawks #samdarnold #genosmith #jaredgoff #jalenhurts #brianbranch #jahmyrgibbs #kennethwalker #devonwitherspoon Learn more about your ad choices.
