RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott react in real time to the Seahawks' thrilling NFC Championship victory over the Rams and the surreal reality of Seattle heading to Super Bowl 60 as betting favorites. They reflect on preseason expectations, the emotional weight of surviving the Rams for a third time, and why this team feels like it's peaking at exactly the right moment. The segment also veers into classic Mitch Unfiltered trivia, from Alberta, Canada connections to Michael J. Fox and iconic musicians, before setting the table for a Super Bowl-centric week ahead. Ray Roberts breaks down why the Seahawks' NFC Championship victory over the Rams wasn't luck, but proof of a fully connected, resilient team built to withstand chaos and pressure. He explains how Seattle survived defensive breakdowns, Riq Woolen's near-disastrous penalty, and Matthew Stafford's efficiency by leaning on internal leadership, timely stops, and Sam Darnold's poise in the biggest game of his career. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down how the Seahawks survived another wild showdown with the Rams, praising Mike Macdonald's evolving brilliance and the team's collective resilience under pressure. The discussion highlights Sam Darnold's career-defining performance, late-game heroics from Devin Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori, and the near-disastrous Riq Woolen penalty that could've changed Seattle sports history. Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking national championship run, explaining why Kurt Cignetti's rapid rebuild deserves historic praise despite the modern NIL and transfer landscape. He details how elite evaluation, culture, and buy-in — including key James Madison transfers — powered wins over Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Miami, culminating in a defining performance by Fernando Mendoza.

Seismic activity at sporting events is nothing new to Seattle fans. Many of us remember Marshawn Lynch’s 2011 BEAST-QUAKE. Seahawks fans revel in Lumen Field’s reputation for noise when opposing teams are on offense… Even T-Mobile Park has experienced its fair share of shaking. Earlier this year when the Mariners made it to the playoffs, the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network was on site to measure the bone rattling when the M’s hit home runs. And this past weekend, they were at the 49ers game with a live stream where fans could keep tabs on how much shaking was going on... GUEST: Harold Tobin - Director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and WA State Seismologist RELATED LINKS: PNSN 2026 Seahawks vs 49ers PNSN - Seahawks on Instagram Seahawks fans’ roar over 49ers rivaled ‘Beast Quake,’ scientists say Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

This is not a numbered Tablesetters episode and not our standard show format. What you're hearing here is our segment from a recent guest appearance on Refuse to Lose, the Seattle Mariners–focused podcast hosted by Brady Farkas. Brady was kind enough to allow us to share this portion of the discussion. Listeners should check out the full episode of Refuse to Lose for the complete conversation and broader Mariners coverage. The discussion begins with Félix Hernández and the Hall of Fame. Rather than focusing on traditional milestones, we talk through how Hall of Fame evaluation has shifted alongside changes in pitcher usage, workload, and league context. The focus is on peak performance, era adjustment, and overall impact, and whether the evaluation framework should continue to evolve. From there, we move to Dave Sims and his transition from Seattle to becoming the radio voice of the New York Yankees. We discuss Sims' long tenure with the Mariners, the role broadcasters play in shaping fan experience, and why this move carries significance for both fan bases without overstating it. We also examine the Yankees' offseason, why it has been comparatively quiet, and whether a move like Cody Bellinger still fits their roster construction. That leads into a broader look at how Yankees fans view the Mariners within the American League landscape, and what that perception says about competitive positioning. On the Mets side, the conversation turns to roster alignment and trade considerations, including whether the Mets and Mariners could function as logical trade partners. We also discuss Jorge Polanco's time in Seattle and how that tenure informs expectations now that he is with the Mets. We round out the segment with some lighter reflection, including favorite former Mets who spent time with the Mariners, favorite former Yankees who passed through Seattle, and how those player overlaps shape the way fans experience interleague and cross-division connections over time. This is a focused baseball discussion centered on evaluation, context, and roster timing rather than breaking news or hot takes. Thanks to Brady Farkas for having us on and for allowing us to share this segment.
Brady is back for a longer-than-usual episode on Monday, talking about if the Seahawks playoff run will have any affect on the Mariners moving forward. Let us explain.Then, we talk about if Felix Hernandez really feels like a Hall of Famer and how the requirements for the Hall are changing - in a good way. Also, Brady unpacks some of the labor issues around baseball and is joined for a fun talk by the Tablesetters Podcast guys (Devin and Steve).
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott reflect on the chaos and anticipation surrounding a third Seahawks–Rams matchup, debating momentum, matchup fatigue, and why this NFC Championship feels destined to be a coin flip despite Seattle's recent dominance. But the segment segues into a January 19th birthday remembrances, including Jean Stapleton, Junior Seau, Walter Jones, and a celebration of Dolly Parton. Mitch and Hotshot Scott relive all three previous NFC Championship Games at Lumen Field, from the 2006 breakthrough to the Miracle in 2014, while setting the stage for a fourth rubber match between the Seahawks and Rams. The discussion centers on the emotional weight of the 12th Man flag tradition following Paul Allen's legacy and the uncertainty around whether Pete Carroll, Jody Allen, or another iconic Seahawk should raise it. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' 41–6 demolition of the 49ers wasn't a surprise, pointing to a confident, physical offensive line and a run game that has fully found its identity. He breaks down Kenneth Walker's late-season burst, the unselfish blocking culture among receivers, and how Sam Darnold's oblique injury hasn't altered Seattle's winning formula. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens break down why the Seahawks enter the NFC Championship Game in a stronger position than either previous matchup with the Rams, pointing to rest, home-field advantage, and a run game that has fully come alive. They discuss Sam Darnold's oblique injury, the status of key injuries up front, Kenneth Walker's late-season surge, and how Seattle might better contain Puka Nacua this time around. Mitch and Puck break down the emotional roller coaster of the Rams–Bears game and why the Rams, not Chicago, have always been the Seahawks' true postseason threat. They debate quarterback advantages, Sean McVay's mastery of the Seahawks defense, and whether Seattle's dominant run game and home-field edge can neutralize Matthew Stafford. The conversation also veers into NFC Championship superstitions, the 12th Man flag dilemma, and whether it's too soon for Pete Carroll to make a symbolic return.
