The intricacies of Sword Law…. A Series of Unfortunate Super Bowl Conversations… We heard it on the way in this morning- this Super Bowl doesn't really do anything for some national guys… why? Because there's no “star power.” What?!? You have the runner up MVP, the Offensive Player of the Year, two incredible young head coaches and that's the starting point. A #1 seed vs a #2 seed, a rematch of such a memorable Super Bowl 11 years ago, the list goes on and on. :30- ICYMI: Matt Hasselbeck We talked to Matt about the evolution of Sam Darnold and the smooth play of JSN on Wednesday, so we revisit the conversation. :45- Next week will be ALL Super Bowl, so we take the time to squeeze in a little baseball this morning. Offseason moves and remaining free agent possibilities, plus a look at what we can expect heading into Spring Training in just a few weeks. Plus, Jerry Dipoto will join Softy, Dick & Jackson this afternoon at 3:20!

6AM- We are just three days away from Seahawks/49ers round 3 at Lumen Field. The coaching battle remains at the forefront of the conversation after Mike MacDonald's defense shut down Kyle Shanahan's offense last time, so how will both coaches game plan for this playoff matchup? :30- Mike Tomlin announced he is stepping down as head coach of the Steelers after 19 years. With Tomlin's decision, the AFC North is now without John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, two staples in the division and in the NFL, but with Pittsburgh stuck in mediocrity, sometimes you have to break it all down to build it back up and this might be the perfect time for them to do that. :45- We can't forget about offseason baseball! Kyle Tucker has a big (money) decision to make and no, he won't be coming to Seattle… and no, the Mariners would never have offered him $50 million a year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We have discovered a portal between Ashley's house and the station and it might be time to put it to the test… We FINALLY Have a game time and it's exactly what Gregg has been predicting for days; Saturday at 5pm. And now all of the pieces of the Divisional round are in place. The Houston defense is really something special and New England will have a tough test next weekend. Meanwhile, the Steelers are headed home and TJ Watt has never won a playoff game. What's next for Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rdogers? :30- The Steelers season is done and that means DK's season is done, so how did his season compare to JSN's and how obvious is it that John Schneider knows what he's doing and isn't afraid to take risks? :45- It's list season and Mariners pitching prospect Ryan Sloan is #6 on the list of the top pitchers and that's pretty damn good!

After their narrow win over the Colts, the Seahawks need their offense to bounce back as they play for the division against the LA Rams. Stacy and Curtis break down what we need to see from the Seahawks offense on Thursday. // Headline Rewrites: The Steelers put an end to the Dolphins season with a 28-15 victory on Monday Night Football. Mike Macdonald says it’s possible Charles Cross plays on Thursday night. The Rams have not ruled out Davante Adams for Thursday night and will be given every chance to play right up to game time. // The Mariners need to add a middle infielder soon. Stacy and Curtis talk about Jerry Dipoto’s comments about getting one over a week ago. Jorge Polanco is no longer an option, where do the M’s pivot? // We head to the station for Hype Train!
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. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan's vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch's Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in. A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan's vacancy and Lane Kiffin's unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.

Sideline reporter Laura Rutledge had an awkward interaction with Justin Herbert when she tried to get some postgame comments. // Bump & Stacy react to the latest news from Jerry Dipoto as he is at the MLB Winter Meetings.
We may have some Fishues, but it's important to take a realistic look at how this season and the first two under Jedd Fisch have gone. The boxes are getting checked as we expected, but our expectations aren't being exceeded yet. :30- The Winter meetings start Sunday and while there's not all the activity there used to be, we could see some trades- could there be a blockbuster in the works? :45- Nick Emmanwori is something special and Seahawks Coach Mike MacDonald is clearly having fun trying new things with the rookie.

It's official, Josh Naylor and the Mariners inked a 5-year deal and we are pumped. It was a move that needed to happen for more than 1 reason and it's not very often that we get to celebrate big free-agent signing as Mariners fans. :30- It seems like people are suddenly panicking (over-reacting) about Sam Darnold after a bad game in LA on Sunday and yes, it was a bad game, but how worried are we that the Seahawks have the right guy for the job? - In Atlanta, they may have lost Michael Penix Jr for the season, can Cousins step up and how concerned should Falcons fans be about another knee injury? - It's a mess in Las Vegas, how panicked should they be about Geno Smith and Pete Carroll? :45- The College Football Playoff rankings get a refresh tonight, so how will things play out? Will Notre Dame keep climbing? Can Oklahoma jump them? How far will Alabama fall? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Daccord returned to goal in the loss, but don't let the 4-2 score fool you, the Kraken were in it all the way to the end. How much of this team's success will be dependent on the younger guys stepping up? Next up is Chicago, can they slow Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks down? :45- We close out the humpday show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
