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.

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?

Who might the Seahawks be looking at to replace Ken Walker?

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?

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.

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.

A top 5 farm system AND a World Series contender? That's impressive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When a friendly offer isn't so friendly… should Chuck have said something? First Walker and now Shaheed as it appears the Seahawks and Rashid Shaheed were very far apart in negotiations and the wide receiver is set to hit free agency. We had discussed potentially paying Shaheed $14 million per year, but it turns out that he is looking for something closer to $18 million and we'd pass on that. :30- Yesterday we talked to Mariners infield coach Perry Hill and asked him about the analytics tied to JP's defense and what he would say to the critics of the shortstop's defense. Today, we revisit the conversation and discuss Hill's response and our thoughts on JP's defensive contributions. :45- Well THIS is a wild tale… are we in the simulation? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

- We have another round of Check Yes or No as we preview NFL free agency and the possibilities for the Seahawks to improve the defense and shore up the O-Line. Would we want the Seahawks to make a splash in free agency or are we good with just re-signing as many of our free agent guys as we can and getting new deals done with JSN and Spoon? :30- PERRY HILL (Mariners infield coach) How are things going with Brendan Donovan so far and how is the transition going for him from 2nd to 3rd? What does Perry say to those who question JP's defense and think the shortstop is on the decline? How is Cole Young looking so far this spring? Josh Naylor is more than just a flashy dresser and Perry's relationship with the M's first baseman goes back a long time. Which youngster has impressed him the most so far? :45- At this stage, is it s foregone conclusion that Ken Walker is gone? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The WBC gets underway today, so we preview the international tournament with a Green Jacket Draft and a look at who we think will win the whole thing, plus which players will have the biggest impact for their respective countries. :30- AL KINISKY (Kraken Audio network color analyst) Just like that, the Kraken are playing good hockey again, so what's changed over the last two games? The NHL trade deadline is just two days away, can we expect the Kraken to be involved in a blockbuster trade? If the Kraken want to go out and get one of the big guys, they're going to have to give up something big… :45- We close out this humpday show with one last thing!

Exclusive rights tendered to Ty Okada and George Holani, what's that mean? :30- The buzz about Ryan Sloan is very loud coming out of Peoria.

There's an excitement for the games, but heightened nerves for our players who are involved as we hope they go through the tournament unscathed. :45- Coach Bucky is back from vacation as well! - Apparently all of the groups at the NFL combine outperformed their predecessors… are athletes just getting that much faster and stronger or is something else going on? - Mexico vs Canada in the WBC… Munoz vs Naylor with the game on the line… who are we rooting for? - Is Coach Bucky the official child thrower at a hotel pool? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last year was the year of Cal- our catcher has reached superstardom and seems to be very comfortable in the moment, not changing one bit. Could this year be the year of Julio?
