Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks have a new running back, so Gregg gives us the lowdown on the addition of Emmanuel Wilson. Do we expect him to be vying for the starting role? If not Wilson, then who? Will JSN reset the market for wide receivers? How much will Devon Witherspoon get? Could those impending contract negotiations get complicated? And what about Darnold next year? Did John Schneider accomplish exactly what he hoped to accomplish this week? What surprises were there? :30- Does the WBC mean more in other countries than it does here and does winning it mean more than winning the World Series? :45- We love a good throwback uniform and the Tennessee Titans have unveiled their new uniforms and it's a nod to the Oiler days… Now, can they also change the name back to the Oilers? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HUGH MILLEN joins us to give us a deep dive into the Seahawks new running back, Emmanuel Wilson. How does Hugh feel about the moves the Seahawks did and didn't make during free agency? Hugh's thoughts on the Cal vs Randy handshake saga. :30- Do we need to take a serious look at whether or not Danny Sprinkle is the right guy for the job at UW as the team misses the NCAA tournament once again? :45- We close out the show and week with Booze News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whoah Mother Nature, what's with all the snow? The Seahawks added running back Emmanuel Wilson. Do we expect him to jump in and fill the Ken Walker hole or does Schneider have more moves up his sleeve? :30- Randy Arozarena is headed back to Peoria and it may be the perfect thing to finally put this Cal/Randy handshake sage to rest. The two of them can't face each other again and hopefully the Mariners can squash the whole thing with Randy there. Do we expect any similar handshake/hugs to occur if the USA faces the Dominican? They have to get through Canada first. :45- The Big 12 is making a change to their tournament court after showcasing an innovative LED glass court during their women's tournament and the beginning of the men's tournament, there was just one problem… well quite a few actually. The LED court was slippery, causing injuries and headaches for the players. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open today's episode with thoughts on Team Canada's historic win over Cuba to qualify for the quarterfinals of the World Baseball Classic. They touch on the complicating factors of José Berríos' injury, before digging in on the players that contributed to Canada's success. Kevin Gausman (06:58), Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, joins the boys live from Dunedin to discuss the team's revamped rotation, building off last year's World Series run, and his process of getting ready for the season. KG also chats about being a baseball dad, his first impressions of Dylan Cease, the potential of starting on Opening Day, and much more! Later, we hear John Schneider's comments on Berríos' status, before the boys open up the "Back Leg Line" to respond to your questions and comments (26:48).

MATT SANTANGELO (Zags basketball) Matt makes his annual visit to the show to talk Zags basketball as they head into another NCAA tournament. Was Matt a part of the new Zags documentary? This year has been a little more difficult for Gonzaga, how confident is Matt feeling about their tourney chances? How has Gonzaga found so much success in basketball? :30- It's been quiet for the Seahawks as the new league year begins. They are one of only two teams who haven't signed anyone new. Are we ok with the lack of free agency splash? :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks made some moves that might seem minor, but were important for the franchise moving forward and Gregg gives us all the info on the signings. Who might the Seahawks be looking at to replace Ken Walker? What's the latest on Maxx Crosby and the Seahawks interest? :30- The Huskies stayed alive after an OT win over USC in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Is Danny Sprinkle the answer? The team continues to struggle to be successful, but they did deal with a lot of injuries this year, is that a valid excuse? It isn't just the last two year, this team hasn't had success in the tournament since 2010 and they haven't made it to the tourney since 2019, so why is UW not able to crack the code? :45- Mariners Opening Day is only TWO WEEKS away! Is Chuck throwing out the first pitch? Cole Young is putting up some serious numbers in Spring Training; will he be our starting 2nd baseman on opening day? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We grabbed some of the best moments of our Thursday show including a brand new addition to the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HUGH MILLEN joins the show with his thoughts on the Seahawks free agents returning and more from the frenzy. We start with Rashid Shaheed, how will the payday for Shaheed be worth it for the Seahawks? What should we expect? And now the Seahawks have a hole to fill with Ken Walker headed to Kansas City. Did they make a mistake letting walker go and how will they fill the void? :30- Hugh is back with more of his thoughts on Seahawks free agency: The Hawks lose Riq Woolen and keep Josh Jobe, how does Hugh feel about that? :45- The Ravens have created quite a mess in the NFL with The Maxx Crosby failed trade. Now Crosby is back on the trade block and it appears that the Raiders are still seeking two first round picks as compensation for the veteran defensive end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had four BIG topics this morning and we covered them all!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have to start with the WBC… it was bad enough that USA lost to Italy last night, but for DeRosa to have thought that the US had punched their ticket to the quarterfinals after the win over Mexico takes things to a new level. Apparently team USA sat around telling stories and drinking beer after the win over Mexico and there were some guys who weren't feeling too great yesterday as DeRosa told MLB Network. How did no one correct him and tell him they weren't guaranteed a spot in the quarters yet? The US went out and gave up 5 runs early to Italy… sloppy defensive play added three more runs and the US found themselves in an 8-0 hole before their bats woke up. Now we wait to see what happens with Italy and Mexico today and can only hope that the US isn't eliminated. :30- The Drama in the WBC wasn't the only thing going on last night… The Baltimore Ravens backed out of the trade with the Raiders for Maxx Crosby, saying he didn't pass their physical. This morning they have conveniently signed Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year deal and got to keep their first round draft picks. So, did Crosby fail the physical or did the Ravens just get cold feet? :45- We told you there was a lot going on, so we head to the NBA, where Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points last night. But it was not without controversy as 43 points came from free throws and the Heat were doing all they could to get him the ball and more time to score. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We have to start with the Maxx Crosby news… now that the trade to the Ravens has been nixed, are the Seahawks back in the mix? Riq Woolen is headed to Philadelphia, but only on a one-year deal. Geno Smith is on his way back to the NY Jets… will it work the second time around? :30- Ok, so maybe this Cal and Randy is a thing… Cal made a statement ahead of last night's game and said he reached out to Randy, but it doesn't appear that Randy responded. Are we concerned that this will cause problems in the Clubhouse when the guys are back with the Mariners? No, we think it will absolutely be resolved by then, but it's definitely more of a thing than we originally thought. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! Does the format of the WBC need to be changed? Should pool play be eliminated? Do the eligibility rules need to be changed for players representing other countries? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had four BIG topics this morning and we covered them all!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) is in-studio to talk tampering! What do the Seahawks lose with Ken Walker now suiting up for the Chiefs and how do they fill that hole? What options are there to replace Walker and who would make the best fit? Is Shaheed worth what the Seahawks are going to pay him or was it a reaction to losing Walker and needing to keep one of them? Should we be surprised that the Hawks weren't able to keep Coby Bryant? Boye Mafe is headed to the Bengals for $20 million a year, is Sando surprised that Mafe got that much and does Hendrickson have a reputation? :30- More with Mike Sanod! The 49ers and Rams were making adds while the Seahawks were trying to hang onto their own. Did our division rivals improve drastically? Was the Mike Evans addition the answer the 49ers have been looking for? How lost are the Arizona Cardinals? :45- The Las Vegas Raiders sure were busy yesterday, spending the most money in free agency so far and making a lot of additions to their team. Is this the way to improve your team quickly or is it just a component and are they on the right path? Is Tyler Linderbaum the key addition with Fernando Mendoza most likely headed to Vegas with he 1st pick in the draft? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 373 - Help Wanted: World Champs Looking for a Running Back   RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the growing likelihood that the Seahawks could lose star running back Kenneth Walker in free agency, debating whether John Schneider's reluctance to franchise tag him signals a different plan at running back. The conversation explores possible draft options, Seattle's roster strategy after a Super Bowl season, and the risks of relying on a rookie backfield solution. Jason Hamilton joins Mitch to discuss his decision to step away after 24 years as the radio analyst for Washington Huskies basketball, reflecting on his journey from UW player to assistant coach to broadcaster. Hamilton explains how the move from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten dramatically changed the travel demands of the job, making it increasingly difficult to balance with his career and family life. Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle join Mitch to analyze the biggest storylines emerging from Mariners spring training, including the development of top prospects Colt Emerson, Cole Young, and Cade Anderson. The discussion covers roster realities heading toward Opening Day—why Emerson likely starts in the minors, how Brendan Donovan stabilizes the top of the lineup, and whether Brennan Davis could force his way into the outfield mix later in the season. RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers join Mitch to break down the Seattle Kraken's precarious playoff positioning with 20 games remaining, describing the Pacific Division race as a "turtle derby" where nearly every contender is struggling. The trio discuss the team's inconsistency, the addition of volume-shooting forward Bobby McMann, Jordan Eberle's contract extension, and the surprising resurgence of goaltender Philipp Grubauer.   GUESTS   Jason Hamilton | Former University of Washington point guard and longtime Huskies basketball radio analyst Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over Slot RJ Eskanos | Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks Running Back Drama, Draft Speculation, and a Classic Mitch Birthday Quiz 23:25 | Jason Hamilton: Reflects on 24 Years on the Huskies Broadcast and Why the Big Ten Era Helped Prompt His Exit 52:28 | Mariners No-Table: Mariners Spring Training Check-In: Prospect Buzz, Opening Day Roster Battles, and Rotation Futures 1:19:16 | Kraken No-Table: Kraken Cling to Playoff Spot as Pacific Division "Turtle Derby" Keeps Seattle Alive 1:43:48 | Other Stuff Segment: Netflix dinosaur series recommendation with Steven Spielberg and Morgan Freeman, World Baseball Classic excitement and Shohei Ohtani's hot start, Julio Rodríguez and other Mariners contributing across WBC rosters, Trent McDuffie becomes highest-paid cornerback and joins Rams secondary, Maxx Crosby says goodbye to Raiders and heads to Ravens, March Madness bracket week and projected No. 1 seeds, Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos call off wedding, Jurickson Profar gets 162-game PED suspension, McDonald's CEO mocked for awkward Big Arch promo video, Britney Spears arrested for DUI, ancient pyramid vandalized by tour guide, Argentine youth viral animal-identifying trend, professional bowler Cameron Crow arrested on drug charges, missing woman found alive 24 years after disappearing during Christmas shopping RIPs: Robert Carradine, Neil Sedaka, Lou Holtz  

Ian takes you through what's happened in 'legal tampering' so far as it pertains to the Seahawks and the NFC West. Hugh Millen joins us to take a deep dive into what's actually happening right now, plus his own experience being traded to a previous Super Bowl winning team (Patriots to Cowboys). BREAKING: Boye Mafe is on his way to Cincinnati and Hugh reacts. Hugh also goes through the other Seahawks players who have signed elsewhere. Hugh continues with Ian to take a look ahead at the Seahawks draft, in a year they currently only have one day three pick. What can we expect from Tory Horton health-wise? We bring you The Daily Power Play! Gregg Bell, Tacoma News Tribune tells us what he's seeing in the 'Super Bowl Tax' attrition during the first day of legal tampering. John Schneider has proven himself time and time again when it comes to managing the talent and salary cap. We listen to your talkbacks, read your texts and finally, talk to Softy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We check in with Gregg ahead of Tampering and get his thoughts on Maxx Crosby not coming to Seattle, Devon Witherspoon's future contract and the Seahawks potential free agency activity. :30- Geno Smith got released by the Raiders last week and then spent the weekend getting into a twitter war with Wendy's after their social media team took a cheap shot at the former Seahawks QB. :45- The Kraken went down to the NHL trade deadline wire before making a trade for Bobby McMann, who enters this team as the second-leading goal scorer. Is he the answer to the Kraken offensive struggles? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tamperfest gets started today and we are SO ready to get our Tamp On! We follow the NFL news all show long and get insight from Robert Turbin and the latest 12th man news from Gregg Bell as well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ROBERT TURBIN (Sirius XM NFL/CBS) The Tampering is officially on and Robert joins the show to give his insight on the frenzy. How important is Ken Walker to this Seahawks offense and should they bring him back? What allowed Ken Walker to have the postseason success he had? Should Walker have been upset by the shared carries this season? Is there another free agent outside of Walker that the Seahawks should be working hard to keep? :30- The frenzy is underway! We check the latest info from the NFL as we are just 30 minutes into the tampering. :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

T-minus one hour to Tamperfest! As we count down to NFL free agency, we speculate what might happen with our big 6 free agents and consider who the Seahawks might have their eye on. We can assume that Ken Walker will be wearing a different uniform in 2026 and we can also assume that another team is going to be overpaying for the veteran running back based off his post-season performance. :30- Maxx Crosby is headed to the Ravens and as much as we would have liked to have him on the team, we are fine with the Seahawks not giving up two draft picks and paying that big salary. Yes, the Seahawks did have the draft capital, but the Ravens draft picks seem more enticing given that the Seahawks are picking 32nd this year and hopefully late in the first round next year as well. :45- We have a BIG WBC matchup tonight as the US and Mexico face off. Should there be some changes to the WBC format? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Tamperfest 2026! Even Mother Nature is getting her Tamp On this morning, dropping 4 inches of snow at Bucky's house and even more at Purple Sheet's house. We already have activity this morning as the Dolphins have released Tua with a post June 1st designation and a $99 million dead cap hi over the next two years. Jake Browning was also released by the Bengals. As far as Seahawks free agency rumors go- - Rashid Shaheed to Vegas, which wouldn't surprise anyone with Klint Kubiak there. - Ken Walker was being heavily linked to the Chiefs over the weekend, but that has cooled. He is also being linked to the Giants and Commanders. - Boye Mafe being connected to the Patriots and Cowboys. - Riq Woolen to the 49ers? - Coby Bryant still expected to remain with the Seahawks. - Veteran CB Greg Newsome being linked to the Seahawks as well. :30- Our hopes that Maxx Crosby might be a Seahawk were dashed on Friday night when the Raiders and Ravens worked out a trade for the veteran defensive end. As we predicted, it would take two first round picks to get Crosby and that is what the Ravens gave up. :45- Coach Bucky is here and he has a lot of thoughts on the free agency frenzy! - Which of the Seahawks big 6 free agents would Coach Bucky make sure is signed by 9am today? - Ok, we know we aren't supposed to put any stock into spring training numbers, but when should we start paying attention to what Brendan Davis is doing? - Coach Bucky is quite experienced with the WWE as well and now Logan Paul has taken back his million dollar offer to fight an NFL player because he says his boss won't let him… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brock and Salk look at the DJ Moore trade to the Bills and discuss what the Seahawks can learn from that, and also look at a chart dissecting the most expensive wide receiver rooms in the NFL. They also react to some sound from Seahawks GM John Schneider in which he dives in on a bunch of the Seahawks that are set to enter free agency and what their plan will be moving forward. In Blue 88, topics include the value of this NFL Draft, how Mike Macdonald has helped sharpen John Schneider and and a Jamal Adams tweet that highlights what the old Seahawks guard did not grasp the way that the new wave of players has.

We started out the morning with a dare and it only went up from there!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HUGH MILLEN's Free Agency X's and O's We have Hugh break down the contributions of the Seahawks six major free agents and take a look at whether or not the Seahawks should bring them back. :30- MIKE BENTON (Kraken Audio Network) Mike joins us with just about 2 ½ hours to go until the NHL Trade Deadline. Will the Kraken make a move in the next few hours and should they? :45- We close out the show and the week with Booze news!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO 1. 3 days til we tamper! 2. Seahawks reward Drake Thomas 3. NHL Trade Deadline less than 4 hours away… 4. World Baseball Classic 5. Mariners Spring Training 6. Sounders in St Louis 7. UW closes out the regular CBB season 8. GESA State Championships :30- It's time to Check Yes or No one more time before Tamperfest and the frenzy get underway! - Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Boye Mafe, Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen… who is coming back to the Seahawks? :45- No, Jerry Dipoto didn't just start making the right moves, he's been doing it all along, but the Mariners front office also got out of their own way and it's paying off. A top 5 farm system AND a World Series contender? That's impressive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Is the beef with the National media guys legit? - Is Schneider in on getting Maxx Crosby? - How big of a deal is the Drake Thomas extension? - What would Gregg expect from Schneider and the Seahawks heading into Tamperfest? :30- Yesterday we talked about JP Crawford and his defensive concerns, but offensively, could he have his best offensive year yet? JP has the best eye on the team and with the introduction of the ABS system this season, he can benefit from the terrible calls he frequently gets and use it to his advantage. :45- Do the Kraken know there's an NHL trade deadline coming up in 4 hours? There's only been silence coming from our local hockey team on the trade front, so we wait… and hope. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do we dare? Yes, we do! It is NHL Trade Deadline Day! There were a few moves yesterday and a frenzy is expected before the noon deadline, but will the Kraken participate? The inconsistent play of the Kraken doesn't bode well for a strong playoff run, if they make the playoffs… and a trade for a big name sure could help bolster this offense. Is it a miss if they don't make a move? :30- It's NFL trade rumor season, are the Chicago Bears prepping to trade for Maxx Crosby? The Seahawks have reportedly been in talks to get Crosby, with rumors circulating that John Schneider has made a couple offers for the vet. Would it be smarter for the Seahawks to pass on a possible trade for Maxx Crosby and hang onto their draft capital and go for free agent Trey Hendrickson? :45- There's some serious beef between the National media guys! Florio and Schefter are going after each other on X and the beef is highly entertaining. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for Beat Bucky! :30- If Shaheed and Walker sign elsewhere, do we trust John and Mike to find replacements? One thing we know about this duo is that they know what they're looking for and they're very good at finding it! :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) With free agency starting on Monday, we get the latest from Gregg Bell on the futures of Ken Walker, Rashid Shaheed and the other big Seahawks free agents. How likely is it that more than 1 of them will return and who is most likely to return? Will the Seahawks be active in free agency and do they have the resources to pull in any big names? What about trade value- do the Seahawks have the means to pull off any big trades? What about comp picks- do the Seahawks have the possibility of getting any of those if they lose these free agents? :30- Lou Holtz passed away yesterday at the age of 89, so we remember the College Football Hall of fame coaching legend. :45- Could Kyler Murray's next move be to head to the A's organization and start his MLB career? Do we think he would have a chance to make it to the majors? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our Seattle Seahawks are kicking off free agency with five starters and two more key players potentially hitting the open market in two weeks at the start of the new league year. We run through some of the challenges general manager John Schneider faces with keeping each player and take a look at some of the projected salaries by The Athletic and Pro Football Focus. Kenneth Walker may have the biggest gap between how Seahawks fans would value him vs how he may be valued by another team, but a close second could be Boye Mafe. Mafe is considered one of the top 5 edge rushers in free agency, but his play time was limited in 2025 due to the play of Demarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu and Derick Hall. The amount of potential turnover in the secondary area of concern. Tariq Woolen, Josh Jobe and Coby Bryant are all expected to see contracts upward of $10 million per year and closer to $20 million per year in the case of Woolen. Is that the best use of salary cap dollars to try and keep all three? How would we prioritize? We take a look at the exclusive rights free agents and what that designation means as well as the restricted free agents and the one starter who stands out.  In the second half of the show, we talk about potential rule changes (and the lack of rule changes) that are being discussed in Indianapolis. We could see a greater emphasis placed on officiating from the booth than on the field for certain calls. We call out the Los Angeles Rams and Augusta National on news that came out this week about both. Better at Life honors go out to a company innovating battery technology and to YouTube for being a place to find Patriots fan tears, Niners fan tears and Rams fan tears all in one spot.
