That's right, spring training games have started and we're getting alerts about players we don't know. First though, we've got a legit scandal crossed with police blotter and wrapped in labor. Pottymouth is already a man down with her ARI boyfriend heading over to B'more. New boyfriends this week are from SEA and LAD. For the Mariners, Pottymouth picks the army brat who is always prepared, and Patti goes for the Cleveland kid with a shared love of Kenny Lofton. We dug deep for Dodgers, with Pottymouth selecting sexy defense with uncanny timing, and Patti picking the oldest of three brothers from the city of brotherly love. We're keeping an eye on the barnstorming rumors for the WPBL. We'd like MLB to consider some equity measures in their umpire promotion system, please. Teams are warming up for the WBC as long as they can jump through the travel hoops. And we wrap up with some giveaway swag you might want to get in line for. Finally, your hosts make good on donations to counter the bad behavior of players on teams that matter to us. Pottymouth donated to Sojourner House and Rosie's Place for Aroldis Chapman Red Sox saves, and Patti donated to Baltimore Safe Haven in order to root for a US Gold Medal Women's Hockey team with Britta Curl-Salemme on the roster. You are welcome to join us in these donations if you are so moved.We say, “Forget Disneyworld, Drag Brunch is the happiest place on earth,” “It's just too close to a severed finger,” and “C'mon, his name is Mayo, why is there not a condiment shirt?” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com. Please take a moment to subscribe to the show, and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to NCiB. Become a supporter at Patreon to help us keep doing what we do. We now have episode transcripts available! They are available for free at our Patreon site. Say goodnight, Pottymouth.
John Schneider is at the combine this week, but he's not carrying a stopwatch and checking out prospects; he's there to conduct bizness. One of the items on his agenda- signing running back Ken Walker and the other Seahawks free agents. There are arguments for and against re-signing Ken Walker and it makes sense for the Seahawks to get a little financially uncomfortable in order to keep Walker, but within reason. :30- ICYMI ANDRES MUNOZ who joined us last week in Peoria and it was one of our favorite interviews of the week! :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast as we continue our journey towards finding a way to stop tanking, so how about this plan? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We've grabbed the best moments of tuesday's show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's time for the fourth installment of What Chuck learned at Spring Training and this one is all about the new challenge system :30- It's combine week and we could see a lot of NFL news come out of Indianapolis as the execs are gathered to make deals happen. - It's possible that Aaron Rodgers could end up playing for the Vikings, which only makes us wonder what the heck they're doing with JJ McCarthy!?!? - The Falcons are going to release Kirk Cousins… speaking of screwing up, Cousins is owed $68 million next year! - Could the Dolphins trade Tua and draft picks JUST to get rid of him? Kyler Murray and the Cardinals are in a similar situation, could the two teams reach a deal for the QBs? - People will get bored with the Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders story, so get ready for the absurd speculation that they would trade the pick or take someone else. :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) Gregg got stranded in Boston but wasn't going to let a couple feet of snow stop him from getting to the Combine! He joins us from the road as he roadtrips his way from Boston to Indianapolis. What are the chances the Seahawks bring back Ken Walker? They've had plenty of chances to get a deal done before this point, but by all accounts, they haven't approached Walker or his people about making something happen. If the Seahawks don't bring back Walker, where do they spend that money? Who becomes the priority? :30- EELI TOLVANEN (Seattle Kraken) joins the show fresh off his Olympic bronze medal. His Finnish team beat Sweden for the bronze, so we ask him what makes Finland better than Sweden? How is he feeling coming off the Olympics? Is he tired? With 25 games to go, we talk to Eeli about the playoff push and more. :45- There were so many takeaways from last week in Peoria, so it's time to find out what Chuck learned at Spring Training Part 3. The organization is very excited about Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan, but how will they be used? What we learned is that we don't expect either of them to appear much, barring injury (knock on wood) and if there is an issue, Emerson Hancock would be the 1st man up. Where does the starting pitching depth go from there? Yes, there is a chance they will both make their debuts this year, but we don't expect to see them early.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.
