The Mariners still aren't doing much - so what could they do to win you back as a fan? Ron Francis took it upon himself to address rumors about the Kraken front office in a live television interview.

Hugh Millen had an in-depth breakdown of Geno Smith yesterday and it tells us a little more about what the Seahawks might do. Between that and what we saw from Sam Darnold last night, it shows how much of a quarterback starved league this is.The Daily Power Play takes us through the latest with the Kraken. Mollywhop Time! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join us and avoid talking Mariners by begrudgingly talking Notre Dame football for a minute. We get to the nothingness that has been the Mariners' winter. They're not surprised Seattle wasn't a finalist, but it raises an eyebrow that the didn't even have a seat at the table. Chris doesn't want people to look down on Donovan Solano, despite the disappointment over the lack of a bigger move. Nathan thinks it's cool that he's here in Seattle and that the Mariners are better with him than without him. The only downside is that this likely means Justin Turner isn't coming back.

College football is changing and we are seeing more news that changes our perspective on its future by the day. Ian peruses some headlines that took him by surprise. Jon Ryan, Former Seahawks Punter joins us for his weekly segment to talk about the Seahawks' disappointing loss to the Packers on Sunday night, raising the 12th man flag and what Seattle needs to do to be successful down the final stretch of the season.

The Mariners have an opportunity right now and it's difficult to predict what direction they'll go. Ian doesn't see 'huge' moves on the horizon, but is curious about this winter. There are a lot of transitions around this market that could open an opportunity for the Mariners to seize it. Jon Ryan, Former Seahawk tells Ian that it always hurts in the lockerroom when a teammate gets cut, but it's all a part  of the bus John Schneider cut him in  Green Bay AND Seatte, but they're still friends. He tells us what "Dinner on Delta" is all about. He thinks those who have questions about John Schneider need to be patient. Finally, he definitely feels as though the 49ers are still the Seahawks biggest rival, but doesn't feel as though it's a tough 'road challenge'. Shane Waldron was fired nine games into his tenure with the Bears. It's very reactionary, but something needed to happen. In football people tend to look for the 'next someone' but sometimes there's only one. MollyWhop! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to discuss just what the Mariners should be doing this off-season. Just because the Mariners are off, the boys aren't. There is some anticipation on what the Mariners will do this year. Best moves, worst moves and more. Following the firing of Shane Waldron, Emmanuel Acho spoke to a former pro bowler for the Seahawks - and he didn't have kind things to say. We speculate on who that may have been.  Cougar Roundtablee! Alex Brink and Mkristo Bruce join Ian to break down the latest Cougar win, check out the portal and preview the final three games. Will John Mateer remain in Pullman? What should we expect in the postseason for Washington State?

Ian also has some things to say about the Mariners.   Greg Cosell, NFL Films joins us to preview the Seahawks in Detroit on Monday Night Football tonight. What pitfalls could Seattle encounter, especially considering the defensive players that are out?    The Mets and Braves are currently playing in an epic game that bitterly reminds us of what could have been with the Mariners.   Mollywhop Monday!

Chris takes us through all of the games that could've made a difference this season. The guys weigh in on exactly what went wrong this year.   Chris and Nathan tell us where this season ranks among disappointment in Mariners' history.   We put a final wrap on the Mariners season and what to look for (or not) in the future.   Mike Sando, The Athletic gives us a preview of the Seahawks in Detroit tonight, plus a trip around the NFC and the trends we're seeing in the first four weeks of the season. Sando takes a deep dive into his research to tell us what we're seeing around the league in quarterback play. Also, there are some running backs (ahem, Derrick Henry) that have legs beyond their projected expectancy.

The Seahawks won in ugly, yet dominating fashion. Why is there such a lack of investment in running backs in the NFL right now? Seattle is extremely lucky to have Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh behind Ken Walker.  Hugh Millen, Hardcore Football takes us through the Seahawks win over the Dolphins and, despite how dominating the score was, there are still pieces to critique. The depth the Seahawks have at running back doesn't mask the fact the team is missing Ken Walker.  Hardcore Football continues with Hugh, who breaks down DK Metcalf's performance.  Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to tell us if the Mariners are dead, or just mostly dead. While it would be an immense pleasure to watch them play beyond the next week, we know enough about this team to not get too excited. Chris remains excited about the team, despite their uphill battle and the knowledge they're pretty much cooked. Nathan is less enthusiastic, stating we've been robbed of excitement throughout the latter half of this season.  Mollywhop continues as we all agree that the division is out of hand. The guys tell us what would have to happen for the wild card...which would have to be a minor miracle.  The Daily Power Play! Preseason games are fun, but the results truly don't matter. Also, Ian has something good.  Mike Sando, The Athletic joins us to break down the week that was in the NFL. Scoring was down across the board, the Seahawks won big, but it wasn't their cleanest game. Sando takes us around the league and tells us the early trends and tone.

Seahawks won and proved that good coaching actually wins. Ryan Grubb proved he can adjust a gameplan on the fly. Cougs win the Apple Cup and victory is back on the Palouse. There's a lot of room for improvement, but playing below their capability, they still start the season 2-0.   Hardcore Football with Hugh Millen! Hugh starts things out with an in-depth breakdown of the final play call of the Apple Cup. The play was so bad already that Hugh can't believe Jedd Fisch took a timeout and still ended up with that play. Hugh has some very strong opinions on this.   Hugh continues with us and discusses what he saw from Geno Smith in the Seahawks win yesterday.   Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to give an honest assessment of the Mariners' chances at the postseason this year, which are looking slim to none. They have to either sweep the next to series or at least go 5-1. Plus, is Julio's season really as bad as people seem to complain about? Or does the blame of a season just fall on the superstar every time?   Hugh Millen gave us a very in-depth look at how Jedd Fisch was outcoached in the Apple Cup and we relive what happened in the Apple Cup.   The Daily Power Play! Eddie Olczyk joins us to talk about some new and exciting happenings with the Kraken. Ian's got a brand new role!   Mike Sando, The Athletic joins to explain how the Seahawks succeeded in New England as well as a look around the league and what the chaos in the NFL means as we get ready for week 3. We discuss his pick-6 column as well.

We are on our way when it comes to the NFL season! Something changed at halftime for the Seahawks. Also, Edgar Martinez is going old school when it comes to coaching hitting.    Hardcore Football with Hugh Millen! Hugh tells us whether yesterday's Seahawks game was a classic example of 'halftime adjustments', while breaking down the offensive performance comparatively by half. Where were the breakdowns and what worked that they need to continue to do? Hugh tells us where his concerns lie.   Hardcore Football continues as we turn to the defense. There were plenty of standouts, and a few things that could be cleaned up. Hugh explains what he saw.   Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop react to the reports that Jerry Dipoto isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While the team is still very much alive, what kind of life can we expect to see down this final stretch of the season?   Mollywhop Monday continues as the guys discuss Edgar Martinez's approach to coaching    Tell me Something Good! The Mayor IPA has sold out! However, there's a party in store.   Mike Sando, The Athletic breaks down the weekend that set the table for the NFL season. What were the biggest surprises in week 1? Mike gives his first impressions of the Mike Macdonald era at the helm of the Seahawks. Offensively, shaky to start, but defensively - they played with purpose.

What a weekend for the Mariners - and not in the good way.   Fact or Fiction is back! As we prepare for the Seahawks season, we revisit Hugh Millen's breakdown of what the Ryan Grubb offense has to offer.    We continue with a preview of the Seahawks and listen into what Hugh thinks the defense will look like under Mike Macdonald. How much will it look like Baltimore's?   Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop react to the weekend series and what we've seen of late. They're both exhausted by what we're seeing and tell us why.   Mollywhop continues and it's a special mix of anger and apathy. We give Mariners fans the therapy session they need.   The Astros aren't doing the Mariners any favors. And Detroit...is actually ahead of Seattle in the wild card.   Mike Sando, The Athletic gives Ian some insight on the Seahawks' strength of schedule. How might it benefit Seattle this season and what pitfalls could we see?

BREAKING: We have some updated injury news regarding Uchenna Nwosu and he'll miss several weeks after injuring his knee on Saturday.  The Mariners took two of three from the Giants over the weekend and while the games were positive and scrappy - they did the same thing under Servais.  Hugh Millen, Hard Core Football! Hugh joins us to break down the Seahawks final preseason game. He tells us Geno Smith is properly ranked as a 'median' level quarterback. Hugh tells us the complexity behind playing quarterback and why it's such a difficult position to play AND evaluate. Plus, changes in the red zone.  Hugh Millen continues to react to the news Uchenna Nwosu will miss several weeks. How impactful will his absence be?  Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to give their thoughts on the Mariners first series under Dan Wilson as a manager. While they succeeded over the weekend, was their style any different that it was under Servais?  Mollywhop continues.  What is the bigger issue with the Mariners between Jerry Dipoto and the Mariners?  Mike Sando, The Athletic joins us to break down his quarterback tiers, just released today. Where does Geno Smith rank? Sando takes us on a trip around the league to tell us what the quarterbacks look like in advance of this season. He also tells us where those facing off against the Seahawks rank.

The Mariners fired dad, we talk about it with Nathan Bishop. I put minecraft music behind the first half of the episode & it sucked so I stopped it halfway. Whatever. No one reads these anyways.

EMERGENCY MOLLYWHOP! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop give their initial reactions to the Mariners' reported firing of Scott Servais. Crawford thinks they're replacing him with Dan Wilson to do everything they can to keep people coming to the ballpark, while failing. Nathan agrees and doesn't know how we can even fairly evaluate Servais in the circumstances in which he's operated. Chris and Nathan remain with us to react to Dan Wilson taking over for the Mariners, and Chris is surprised they didn't go with Manny Acta or Kristopher Negron. This just points to keeping butts in seats. Nathan is watching other moves being made, as in Edgar Martinez joining the staff. These moves are clearly being made over Jerry Dipoto's head. What makes a good manager? Scott Servais was put in an impossible position, in more than one way. Chris and Nathan continue the hour MollyWhop marathon to tell us what kind of team Dan Wilson is inheriting right now. Plus, how safe is Jerry's job right now? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks gives his first reaction to the Seahawks trading cornerback Michael Jackson to the Panthers for linebacker Michael Barrett. The depth at linebacker is a good add, while the Seahawks had an embarrassment of riches in the defensive backfield, especially at corner. Chuck Powell joins Ian in studio, after having predicted the Servais firing if the Dodgers series went the way it did this week. Neither of the guys want anyone to lose a job, but this move just makes sense. How much blame should be put on Servais or Dipoto for the careers that came to Seattle to die? Chuck gives Jerry Dipoto a lot of credit for what he's done here - if you want him out, be careful what you wish for. An adequate offense should be enough for this team to be a perennial postseason contender. We begin the cavalcade of fans weighing in on the Mariners. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start to the weekend. Today, we talk quarterbacks as you prepare for your fantasy draft. Listeners let loose on the firing of Scott Servais, and boy do we have a lot.

Mariners are four games back to the Astros in the AL West, but with the win yesterday we acknowledge it could've actually been worse. Hugh Millen, Hardcore Football! Hugh dissects the Seahawks offense for us as we have a new look under Ryan Grubb. Which bubble guys does he see making the team? We take a deep dive. Hugh gives some offensive comparisons to what Rome Odunze did under Ryan Grubb and the way DK Metcalf has been used. Nobody is happy with how little he was targeted. MollyWhop Monday with Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop! How much is Scott Servais to blame for the Mariners' woes? While the guys would understand if the team parted ways with him, they don't find him ultimately at fault. MollyWhop continues with Chris and Nathan and we're approaching magic number territory. They're 20-30 since their high-water mark. What do the Mariners need to do the rest of this season? Finally, a preview of Seattle's series in LA facing the Dodgers. Mike Sando, The Athletic joins Ian to talk about the Seahawks preseason and gives his impressions of Mike Macdonald so far. Mike gives the pros and cons of the new kickoff rules and a preview of who will get into the NFL Hall of Fame this year.

The Trail Blazers are leaving ROOT Sports, and Ian sees a demise of sports consumption for the fan.  Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins us with the latest roster observations on the Seahawks. He has a new comparison for Byron Murphy and it's not one you've heard before. He's still surprised he dropped out of the top ten in the draft and marvels at how well it worked to John Schneider's benefit. Corbin takes us through the prospective depth chart. Next week is a big one for Abe Lucas.  The Mariners just got swept by the Tigers and fall three games behind the Astros in the AL West. Things are not looking good.  Chris Crawford, My Oh Why and Nathan Bishop of Dome and Bedlam join us and are simply exhausted by the ineptitude they've seen through this series - but also over the last nine years. They give us quite an honest review of the most recent performances. A sweep is a must for them heading into Pittsburgh.   We hear from Scott Servais following the crapfest we saw in Detroit.   We lighten things up with some fun audio from George Kittle, who takes some shots at the collective media. Brandon Funston, The Athletic Fantasy Guru joins us to kick off the unofficial start of the weekend! Today we run down the wide receiving group as you get ready to draft your roster!

We are back in studio! What was your weekend like? We share some fond memories of ours. Anders rode with Captain Benton on the course, Ian was with Ashley and Jess shared a cart with Softy.  Hardcore Football with Hugh Millen! The Seahawks played their first preseason game and we got our initial look at what a Mike Macdonald Seattle team looks like. Hugh takes us inside the huddle. Hugh is happy with the defensive backfield.  Ian shares what he got out of the Seahawks first preseason game. Communication is key with Mike Macdonald.  Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join us to react to the Mariners three game sweep of the Mets. MollyWhop continues as the guys discuss what's next for the Mariners as they head to Detroit - and into the end of summer.  The Olympics this year showed us a side of sports Ian hasn't seen in a long time. It brought back some pride with the emotion seen. What we've seen the last few weeks was the best of sports.

Happy Monday folks. Did you know we're giving away a grill? The Mariners took two of three from the Phillies and we are thrilled that they continue to fight, Saturday night being one of the biggest examples. We are live from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and fill you in on what we're seeing.   As we watch DK Metcalf interact with the fans out here at training camp, Ian notes that he might be the most mis-characterized player on the current team.
