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.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former NFL offensive lineman and Seahawks analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Unbelievable Is an Understatement — Seahawks Punch Ticket to Super Bowl 60 14:15 | The Retribution Tour Rolls On — Why the Seahawks Match Up Perfectly With the Patriots 33:55 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; The Best Team Won — Why This Seahawks Run Feels Different 54:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Brilliance Becoming Greatness — Seahawks Survive Chaos and Punch Super Bowl Ticket 1:16:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Worst to First — How Indiana Pulled Off the Most Unlikely Title Run in College Football History 1:41:47 | Other Stuff Segment: Baseball Hall of Fame voting frustration, Bryce Miller's 2024 bounce-back potential, Mariners acquiring Cooper Criswell from the Mets, Mike McCarthy returning to coach the Pittsburgh Steelers, NIL contract dispute involving Duke quarterback Darien Mensa, NIL legality and transfer portal implications, Abella Danger shown during Miami Hurricanes playoff broadcast, Chipotle publicity from Kurt Cignetti's "I Win Bowl," Chipotle rewards points story tied to Indiana football staffer, Fernando Mendoza championship celebration in Miami, ABBA's "Fernando" becoming Indiana's anthem, restrained Indiana fan behavior after national title win RIPs: Francis Buchholz (Scorpions bassist), John Brodie (former 49ers quarterback and NFL MVP), Jim Lovell (Apollo 13 commander) HEADLINES: Pet cow in Austria uses broom as a scratching tool, hearse spotted ordering food in a McDonald's drive-thru, man arrested for doing Corvette donuts in a church parking lot to impress a date, research suggests possible link between nose picking and Alzheimer's

RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) The College Football season came to an end with last night's National Championship, so how did Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers pull off such an improbably 2-year run to a National title?

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Danny open Episode 366 sparring over Seahawks fan anxiety during a supposedly "relaxing" Wild Card weekend, as Mitch openly roots for any path that avoids the Rams. They break down why the Seahawks' fear factor is matchup-based rather than talent-based, react to the Rams' narrow escape against Carolina, and land on the uncomfortable truth: there are no easy games left. Plus, a little spirited Seahawks trivia showdown celebrating Jaxon Smith-Njigba's First Team All-Pro honor and revisiting the franchise's all-time elite. The conversation pivots to the Damon Williams saga at Washington, with both acknowledging a sharply divided Husky fanbase and debating whether Williams' return reflects genuine remorse or unavoidable financial and legal reality. Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down the Seahawks' divisional-round matchup against the 49ers, debating whether Seattle avoided or invited its toughest possible playoff test. They examine health advantages coming off the bye, the danger Kyle Shanahan still poses, and why Seattle's offense must create early separation to avoid a tight finish. The conversation expands to Clint Kubiak's head-coaching buzz, potential internal replacements, and why Jaxon Smith-Njigba's first-team All-Pro nod may be the only individual honor a historically collective Seahawks defense was ever going to earn. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to dissect the Damon Williams soap opera at Washington, arguing the real villain isn't the player but a broken NIL system with zero transparency and a completely backward calendar. He bluntly accuses Lane Kiffin of tampering after missing on other quarterback targets, explaining how desperation and unchecked money have turned the portal into chaos. Neuheisel stresses that UW and Jed Fisch must now repair the relationship between Williams and the Husky fanbase, warning that without crowd buy-in at Husky Stadium, Washington's ceiling drops dramatically. Neuheisel dissects Ole Miss's final-play decision against Miami, explaining why failing to steal easy yardage doomed their comeback chances. He details how Indiana has built a mature, NFL-ready roster through NIL, experience, and elite defensive play, arguing the Hoosiers are now a true national power. Neuheisel also makes the case that quarterback Fernando Mendoza is a future NFL superstar and backs Indiana to cover and win the national championship.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Top seed anxiety sets in as Seahawks fans sweat the Rams, the 49ers survive, and Wild Card weekend delivers pure chaos. 7:28 | Danny's Seahawks Trivia 16:10 | Seahawks land the matchup they wanted, while Husky Nation fractures over the Damon Williams return. 39:24 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks brace for third showdown with 49ers as health, coaching churn, and playoff pressure collide. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 1; Neuheisel unloads on NIL chaos, Lane Kiffin's quarterback scramble, and why the Damon Williams saga may finally force college football to fix itself. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel Part 2; Rick Neuheisel breaks down Indiana's shocking dominance, Ole Miss's late-game failure, and why Kurt Signetti and Fernando Mendoza have changed college football's power structure. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: Indiana vs Miami (apostrophe ruling), Indiana's head coach meteoric rise & long-term program outlook, Pete Carroll Hall of Fame candidacy vs Mike Holmgren, Clint Kubiak head-coaching interest and Seahawks OC succession, Charles Cross contract extension evaluation, John Harbaugh dismissal and league-wide appeal, Matt Khalil lawsuit over invasion of privacy claims, Alex Bregman signing with the Cubs and Mariners fit question

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot react to the Seahawks' latest statement win and the stunning reality that a team widely projected to finish under .500 now sits two home wins away from the Super Bowl. They break down why this run feels different from past Seahawks contenders, examine the favorable NFC landscape, and agree there's only one opponent that truly scares them: the Rams. Ray Roberts explains why the Seahawks' ability to run between the tackles and control tempo was the true difference in their win over San Francisco, giving the offense "the remote control" of the game. He details how Mike Macdonald's defense shut down Brock Purdy by eliminating explosive plays, dominating tackles, and keeping constant pressure, while also addressing the benefits and risks of Seattle's first-round bye as they sit two home wins from the Super Bowl. Brady Henderson and Jackson Bevens join Mitch to break down Seattle's 13–3 dismantling of the 49ers, a game that felt like a blowout long before the final whistle. They credit Mike Macdonald's defense for completely erasing Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan's offense, while the Seahawks' run-heavy attack controlled tempo and time of possession. The conversation turns to expectations that now come with the No. 1 seed, health heading into the divisional round, and whether any NFC team — Rams included — can realistically challenge Seattle at Lumen Field. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to explain how the College Football Playoff quarterfinals exposed the new reality of college football, from Miami's physical formula to Indiana's suffocating defense and Oregon's offensive limitations. He unpacks the NIL and transfer-portal frenzy surrounding stars like Trinidad Chambliss, predicts massive seven-figure payouts for elite quarterbacks, and calls the current system "absolute craziness" headed for a reset.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman; Seahawks Radio Network analyst Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion, Head Coach Dallas Renegades (UFL)   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Seahawks surge into Super Bowl contention as surprise NFC powerhouse — but one matchup still looms large. 16:10 | Seahawks dominate 49ers with elite defense and punishing run game in statement win at Santa Clara. 39:24 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; Ray Roberts breaks down Seahawks' physical dominance, elite defense, and Super Bowl–ready mindset after silencing the 49ers. 1:12:10 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks clinch NFC's top seed as dominant defense, punishing run game, and composure separate contenders from pretenders. 1:40:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Neuheisel dives into CFP chaos, NIL madness, and why Indiana and Ole Miss are built to crash college football's old order. 2:05:00 | Other Stuff Segment: College Football Playoff Final Four, Indiana's dominance, Ole Miss upsetting Georgia, Miami upsetting Ohio State, Trinidad Chambliss eligibility and NIL bidding war, Lane Kiffin grocery basket incident, Washington transfer portal departures, DeMon Williams NIL deal and return to UW, Tiger Woods 50th birthday and Champions Tour eligibility, Rachel Uchitel wedding, USC–Notre Dame rivalry potentially ending, Lenny Dykstra arrest controversy, Tom Bodett and Motel 6 lawsuit settlement, Philip Rivers comeback reflection RIPs: Isaiah Whitlock (Actor — The Wire, Da 5 Bloods), Brigitte Bardot (French actress, global sex symbol), Melanie Watson Bernhardt (Actress — Diff'rent Strokes) Headlines Segment: German man sets Guinness record with over 11,000 snow globes, Scientists discover strange lemon-shaped planet that could "sour" your mood, Dating site grows for men with the world's smallest penis, Government releases list of the 25 worst items removed from people's bodies in 2025

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash. Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense's habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night's NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy's red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson's 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally "happened" to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | High-stakes NFC showdown looms as Seahawks chase the No. 1 seed, debate a hedge bet, and wonder where first-half Sam Darnold went. 3:08 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 24:07 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table - Brady Henderson; Seahawks dominate Carolina but face the ultimate test: hot Niners offense, shaky starts, and everything on the line in Santa Clara. 44:24 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; College football's new reality hits Clemson, Michigan turns to Kyle Whittingham, and Neuheisel makes his CFP picks with Ole Miss as the hill to die on.

RUNDOWN   Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O'Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: "a win is a win" vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer's statement reads like a true "not leaving" while Fisch's sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they "punted the first half away," can't believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks' 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold's uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team. Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won't get another head-coaching opportunity. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan's vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch's Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in. A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan's vacancy and Lane Kiffin's unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Jason Puckett | Host, The Daily Puck Drop; Co-host of KJArntz   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Hotshot Scott late scratch, Danny O'Neill gets the spot start—plus Seahawks angst, birthday trivia, and a quick detour into the origins of MLB free agency. 13:45 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 18:13 | LA Bowl silliness to Michigan coaching rumors—then Mitch unloads on an "unsatisfying" Seahawks win and why the Rams line makes no sense. 39:38 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Defense dominates, offense sputters: Seahawks escape Colts but spark concern ahead of Rams showdown. 59:44 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel breaks down his Washington State interview, the Michigan mess, and playoff matchups across college football. 1:26:55 | GUEST: Puck; Puck unloads on Mitch's Neuheisel miss, spins Michigan chaos scenarios, and marvels at elite hoops talent. 1:45:42 | Other Stuff Segment: Jorge Polanco leaving the Mariners for the Mets, Jerry Dipoto and Mariners payroll philosophy, Mariners infield offensive concerns, Sharon Moore firing at Michigan, Adam Schefter's comments defending Sharon Moore, tone-deaf media responses to misconduct allegations, consequences vs adversity framing, Jed Fish fit at Michigan, potential Jed Fish departure from Washington, Huskies fan reaction to coaching turnover, Quentin Jammer admitting to playing NFL games drunk, substance abuse and accountability in pro sports, Cam Newton reacting to Colts signing Philip Rivers, quarterback entitlement and ego, Philip Rivers–Shane Steichen relationship, Ryan Seacrest football stadium naming, Seacrest's alleged high school football toughness, celebrity philanthropy credibility, Kyle Whittingham stepping down at Utah, underrated college football coaches, age and coaching viability, Milana Vayntrub selling photos for wildfire relief, OnlyFans-style philanthropy, Oregon nude calendar fundraiser, discomfort vs charity ethics

On today' Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore spend a lot of time discussing whether or not Rick Neuheisel would be a good fit at Washington State.  Jim is all on board with the hire, but Puck is concerned about the packaged deal with his son Jerry.  Jim contends they need a splash and money more than anything else, but Puck thinks it's all about wins and culture that will carry the team.  Puck discusses Boise State and was shocked to learn that they only spend $2 million in NIL.  How come they are so much more successful than the Cougs with a lesser NIL deal?  Puck and Jim also discuss Phillip Rivers coming back to face the Seahawks, winter meetings update with the M's and Jorge Polanco and Puck went and watched the number-one player in America for high school basketball, senior Tyran Stokes of Rainier Beach and reported back that you better catch him now! Puck wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Jorge Polanco needs to be a priority. (1:00) Puck and Jim (1:14:00)  “Hey, What the Puck!” 

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett opens up the show with the latest rumor regarding the Washington State Cougars coaching search and it involved University of Texas co-defensive coordinator and former WSU linebacker Johnny Nansen.  How much would that move the needle for the Cougs or do they need to make a splashier hire?  John Canzano from JohnCanzano.compays a visit to talk about the Jimmy Rogers departure, what's next for WSU, are Chip Kelly and Rick Neuheisel options and did the college football playoff committee get it right with their final rankings?  Danny Kelly, The Ringer, joins Puck to talk all things NFL and they chat about Pete Carroll's decision to kick a late field goal that effected the spread in their loss to Denver, Sam Darnold's Atlanta performance, Mike Macdonald's young hungry defense and grandfather Phillip Rivers is coming back to the NFL! “On This Day…”   Larry Bird's streak, Ohtani's contract, and one of the best actors has a birthday! Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   WSU needs to get the next hire right! (1:00) Puck (5:24) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (48:29) Danny Kelly, The Ringer (1:22:58) “On this Day….” (1:24:27)  “Hey, What the Puck!?”  

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, spend the majority of the show discussing Jimmy Rogers bolting for Iowa State and what's next for Washington State.  Jim is all on board with Rick Neuheisel, but Puck doesn't see it or want it.  Puck believes they should go all in on Brent Vigen, the Montana State head coach.  What about Luke Falk? Both Puck and Jim agree that would be a stretch. Whoever they hire they just want someone who loves Pullman and Washington State. They briefly touch in on the Harry Ford trade and wonder why he didn't return more and it spoke volumes how the rest of the league views him.  And, did Pete Carroll just sound the alarms on betting in the NFL on he coached in their loss to the Broncos on Sunday by kicking a last second field goal to cover the spread?Puck talks Seahawks, “The Dugar Report” with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic.  It's another dominating Seahawks defensive performance.  Sam Darnold started shaky but was sensational in the second half and it was finally the breakout game for Rashid Shaheed.  “On This Day…”   George Washington, Pearl Harbor, John Glenn and Jeff George are all in the news. Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”   Commitment and loyalty is over in college athletics.  (1:00) Puck and Jim (1:17:18) Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic  (1:44:24) “On this Day…”  (1:46:50) “Hey, What the Puck!?”

RUNDOWN   We're celebrating the start of Year 8 of Mitch Unfiltered! Mitch checks in from Las Vegas—oddly with zero urge to gamble—while Hotshot breaks down his old roulette system and the painful bad beat that once drove him out of Vegas for years. Mitch and Hotshot geek out over the new Eddie Murphy documentary, then Mitch tells his favorite 10-seconds-of-fame story — yelling a deep-cut sketch line to Murphy at a 1985 stand-up show and getting singled out from the stage. They pivot to the Seahawks' 30–24 "no-win" win in Nashville, weighing how worried to be about letting a 30–10 lead shrink, while marveling at Jaxon Smith-Njigba's obscene pace (already breaking the single-season franchise yardage mark in 11 games) and explaining why Rams-Bucs, common opponents, and divisional records mean Seattle may need both a win over the 49ers and help from the lowly Cardinals to take the NFC West. Steve Phillips joins Mitch to unpack Seattle's near–World Series run — from Julio Rodríguez's late-season surge to the Game 7 choices that doomed the Mariners, including pulling George Kirby too early and avoiding Andrés Muñoz in the highest-leverage spot. He explains why modern analytics can mislead managers, why Aaron Judge rightfully edged Cal Raleigh for MVP despite East Coast conspiracy theories, and why extending Josh Naylor was the right call even if the back-end years sting. Brady and Jacson join Mitch to break down Seattle's 30–24 win over the Titans — a game that was far closer than it should've been against the NFL's worst roster. They dissect the defensive lapses (two long late TD drives, missed tackles, fatigue), Sam Darnold's clean but risky performance (a couple near-picks, heavy JSN dependence), and a quietly emerging run game anchored by Walker and Charbonnet. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to reset the entire college football landscape heading into rivalry week — from Washington's shot at a season-defining upset over Oregon to the seismic consequences of an eight-win finish versus nine. He breaks down the transfer-portal era attrition at programs like UCLA, the SEC's multi-team playoff math (with Alabama's "brand advantage"), and why chaos in Austin, Baton Rouge, and Oxford could reshape the playoff bracket if Lane Kiffin jumps jobs before December 3rd.   GUESTS   Steve Phillips | Former Mets GM & MLB Analyst (SiriusXM / MLB Network) Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Turns 8 (Seasons), Vegas Without Gambling, and a Birthday Tour Through Sports, History… and Freddie Mercury 12:00 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 16:09 | Eddie Murphy, Clint, and a Nervy 8–3: Seahawks Survive Titans While JSN Flirts with 2,000 Yards 40:55 | GUEST: Steve Phillips; Steve Phillips on the Mariners' Game 7 Collapse, Cal Raleigh's MVP Near-Miss, and Seattle's Offseason Decisions 1:05:13 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Escape Tennessee, Move to 8–3, and Reveal Both Promise and Warning Signs in Nashville 1:27:51 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Rick Neuheisel on Washington–Oregon Stakes, Lane Kiffin Chaos, and a Wild Final Push Toward the Playoff 2:01:20 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL players spitting incidents (Jalen Carter, Jamar Chase, Jalen Ramsey, Boise State, massive fines for spitting), Mariners non-tender Gregory Santos after almost never pitching, questions about how MLB trade physicals get passed, Dodgers Game 7 World Series home run balls (Miguel Rojas, Will Smith) both caught by same father/son and later underperforming at auction, Lane Kiffin's reported choice between Ole Miss, LSU, and Florida with a 7-year $98M deal and $25M/year in NIL money, UW women's soccer upsets #1 Virginia 10v11, Belichick family blowup, Chris Paul announces plans to retire after the 25–26 season and reflects on a Hall of Fame point guard career, Boris Becker (age 58) welcomes baby daughter, Kevin Spacey claims to be essentially homeless and working as a lounge singer in Cyprus, Ace Frehley's famous smoking sunburst Les Paul goes up for auction, RIPs: Rodney Rogers — Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA forward, dies at 54, Jellybean Johnson — drummer for The Time, dies at 69, Randy "Junkman" Jones — Padres legend, dies after a long career in and around baseball, HEADLINEs: Airport bulge turns out to be two endangered parakeets, Interstate flasher "needed excitement", Two Texas men plot to invade a Haitian island and enslave everyone, Failed threesome leads woman to beat up her boyfriend, Study says Viagra may help with hearing loss.

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the Tuesday show with Puck's thoughts on the Josh Naylor deal, five years $92.5 million.  It's a great start for the Mariners this offseason, but it can't be the only move the Mariners make.  Puck then welcomes John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com on the show to cover college football.   They chat about what Rick Neuheisel's  role should be in college football, because he's too good just to be on television.  What's next at Oregon State on the coaching search, and does it include Neuheisel or is Oregon State looking at former Cougars head coach Nick Rolovich?  The Pac-12 has a new media deal with USA Network, is it good enough?  The Big Ten equity plan is on hold, will it ever happen and why was Washington reportedly in the third tier of the revenue plan?  Lastly, will Oregon win easily this weekend against USC?Danny Kelly, The Ringer joins Puck to talk the growing narrative around Sam Darnold, Mike Macdonald's dominating defense, Seahawks fans feelings toward Darnold and the unfortunate injury to Falcons quarterback Michael Penix. Former Seahawks defensive back Paul Moyer joins Puck to discuss the passing of his teammate Kenny Easley.  Paul reflects on their friendship and what made Easley so dominant as a football player. “On This Day…” Puck celebrates one of the best holiday movies ever made! Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   (1:00) Puck (6:52) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (43:32) Danny Kelly, The Ringer (1:12:46) Paul Moyer on the passing of Kenny Easley (1:24:06) “On this Day….”  (1:29:00) “Hey, What the Puck!?” 

RUNDOWN   Mitch solves last week's "mafia lookalike" mystery — listeners decide he's a dead ringer for The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli. The guys riff through Goodfellas lore, Seahawks' second straight blowout win, and Von Miller's hilarious regret about choosing Washington over Seattle ("it's like turning down a girl who became a movie star"). Heartfelt condolences to the family of Lenny Wilkens, celebrating the Hall of Famer's legacy as both player and coach — and his decades as the Pacific Northwest's ultimate basketball statesman. Then it's back to football as the guys revel in another stress-free Seahawks blowout, highlighted by two identical sack-fumble touchdowns from Tyrese Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence. Mitch welcomes back Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for another Seahawks No-Table after a 44-22 dismantling of the Cardinals. The crew marvels at a team that suddenly looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, while debating the sloppy second half and the emerging run-game breakthrough. They dig into injury updates on Ernest Jones, and Jarran Reed, the trade for Rashid Shaheed, and the defense's uncanny "next-man-up" magic under Mike Macdonald. Mitch reconnects with Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a wild week in college football — starting with Washington's shocking collapse in Madison. Rick calls it a "disaster," offers perspective on Jed Fisch's road woes, and shares how leadership, not logistics, separates winners from whiners. From there, the conversation races across the national landscape: Penn State's heartbreak at Happy Valley, Texas Tech's oil-fueled rise, and which Group of Five team might crash the playoff. Then Neuheisel dives into Lincoln Riley's number-swap trickery — calling it "legal but unethical" — before handing out Taco Time honors. Mitch reconvenes the Seattle Kraken No-Table with RJ Eskanos and Dylan Travers of Emerald City Hockey for the team's first check-in of the season. Despite a solid early record and a near-top Pacific Division standing, the panel wonders how sustainable it really is. RJ notes that the offense remains among the league's weakest, while Dylan credits new head coach Lane Lambert for installing a defense-first system that maximizes effort and structure.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion RJ Eskanos | Co-Founder, Emerald City Hockey Dylan Travers | Analyst, Emerald City Hockey   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Mafia Mitch to Cher in Fresno — Episode 357 Starts with a Bang 14:40 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 19:20 | From Lenny's Legacy to Mr. Playoffs: Seahawks Roll to 7–2 and Dream of the NFC's Top Seed 35:17 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Déjà Vu Defense: Two Scoop-and-Scores, a Surging Run Game, and Seattle's NFC Statement Win 57:53 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Disaster in Madison, Trickery in L.A., and Oil-Money Football: Rick Neuheisel Dares to Dip 1:29:42 | GUEST: Kraken No-Table; Effort, Defense, and a Little Luck: Can the Kraken Keep Floating Above the Ice? 1:49:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Sydney Sweeney's boyfriend "Scooter", Mariners free agency (Josh Naylor, Eugenio Suárez, Mitch Garver, bullpen decisions), debate on re-signing Suárez vs. internal options, Matt Kalil divorce/CamSoda "offer" saga, USC's Sam Huard fake-punt jersey trick, Mark Sanchez fired by FOX & replaced by Drew Brees, Erik Spoelstra house fire note, Antonio Brown arrest & attempted murder charges, Indiana volleyball assistant coach gambling infractions, Guardians pitchers betting scandal & "is everything rigged?" angst RIPs: Mia Hammond (21-year-old Washington women's soccer goalkeeper), Paul Tagliabue (former NFL commissioner), Marshawn Kneeland (Cowboys DE, 24), Victor Conte (BALCO figure), Dick Cheney (former U.S. Vice President), Diane Ladd (Oscar-nominated actress) HEADLINES: Donald Trump "deny visas to fat people" bit, Dave Ramsey's "15–20 houses for God" rant, Kim Kardashian underwear with built-in pubic hair, Matt Kalil "two Coke cans" closer gag

RUNDOWN   Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.'s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto's collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it's all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline. Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 38–14 primetime rout of Washington — a game where both sides of the ball finally clicked. They discuss Sam Darnold's near-perfect night (one of only four 97+ QBRs in the NFL this season — three belonging to him), Mike Macdonald's astounding 11–1 road record, and the play-calling brilliance driving the offense. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down a wild week in college football — from the bloated buyouts fueling a $160 million coaching carousel to Washington's unlikely playoff path. The two dive into quarterback drama, "alma mater alimony," and the rise of dual-threat sensation Demond Williams, before wrapping with Taco Time's weekly honors — including a nod to Oklahoma's kicker and his unforgettable Daisy Duke game-day look. Christian Caple joins Mitch to assess the Huskies' 6–2 season and the playoff math that could still put Washington in the 12-team field if they run the table. He breaks down the defense's ability to hang with Oregon, the tricky stretch at UCLA, and how Jed Fish's success could make him a hot-commodity coach with a star quarterback in tow.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Christian Caple | UW Football Insider, On Montlake   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Gets Mistaken for a Mobster, Hotshot's Arrest-Video Obsession, and a Giddy Seahawks Sunday 20:12 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 27:48 | Mariners Heartbreak, Dodgers Relief, and a Seahawks Surge with Trade-Deadline Stakes 46:58 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Dominate in D.C. — Darnold's Surge, McDonald's Mastery, and a 6–2 Statement 1:09:20 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on the Coaching Carousel, Playoff Chaos, and the Short Shorts Heard 'Round the Nation 1:41:08 | GUEST: Christian Caple: on Washington's Playoff Chances, Jed Fish's Future, and the Rise of Demond Williams Jr. 2:04:56 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL 68-yard field goal record (JAX kicker Cam Little), NBA gambling/poker scandal (prop bets, x-ray glasses, star player tax lien), Pittsburgh radio host loses bet and gets nipple piercings, Scott Woodward's AD buyout saga (Jimbo Fisher, Brian Kelly, LSU governor, Woodward payout), Robert Englund gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star (Freddy Krueger story), Adrian Peterson's latest DWI and weapon arrest, Phil Mickelson insider-info case echoes 2016 SEC probe, RIPs: Bob Trumpy — Bengals TE/longtime NBC broadcaster (80), Carol Davis — Raiders co-owner, widow of Al Davis (93), Yoervis Medina — former Mariners/Cubs pitcher (37), Nick Mangold — former Jets center (41), Ace Frehley — original KISS guitarist, Dwayne Roberts — inventor of the frozen burrito (88), HEADLINEs: Breathing through our butts proven safe — Mitch Levy's been talking out his ass for years, GQ says "Nut Maxers" aim for maximum output — I was hoping it was a candy bar, MSN reports boob jobs are shrinking — so no more inflation, Detroit cop appears pantless in court — didn't stand up well, Customers sue On shoes for squeaks — my mom should've sued my dad first.

RUNDOWN   In the aftermath of the Mariners' heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Blue Jays, Mitch Levy and guest co-host Danny O'Neil of The Dang Apostrophe open Episode 355 with Danny confessing that he's “pretty mad,” venting at an online heckler named Tad Piland while Mitch directs his anger toward the Fox broadcast crew for comparing Toronto fans' “long wait” to Seattle's five decades of heartbreak. The conversation pivots to the Seahawks, whose 27-19 win over Houston somehow feels more lucky than convincing. Danny rails against red-zone play-calling and Cooper Kupp's gadget-pass interception, while Mitch notes that at 5-2, Seattle still looks like a playoff team in a vulnerable NFC. In the season's final Mariners No-Table, Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over Slot) to dissect Seattle's crushing Game 7 loss to the Blue Jays in the ALCS. The trio reflect on the gut-wrenching ending, the broadcast's “Toronto sympathy” narrative, and the irony of yet another near-miss season for long-suffering Mariners fans. Both guests try to balance heartbreak with appreciation for an unforgettable year that included Cal Raleigh's historic 60-homer season, Brian Woo's rise to ace status, and J.P. Crawford's clutch moments. The crew breaks down Seattle's Monday Night Football win over Houston — a game defined by the defense and marred by offensive miscues. Brady and Jacson praise Ernest Jones and Drake Thomas for anchoring a top-five-level unit that pressured C.J. Stroud all night, holding Texans running backs to just 31 yards. On offense, Sam Darnold's four turnovers and a baffling Cooper Kupp trick-play interception left points on the field, but Jackson Smith-Njigba's 123-yard night and a late show of maturity salvaged it. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, returns to unpack a chaotic Week 8 — from Indiana's Kurt Signetti leading the Hoosiers to No. 2 in the nation to Clark Lea's Vanderbilt stunning LSU. Rick tells the underdog stories of the year: two former football “afterthoughts” now crashing the playoff picture. He credits Signetti's “bet on himself” coaching path and calls Vandy's 2025 run “one of the greatest modern turnarounds in college football.”   GUESTS   Daniel Timothy O'Neil | The Dang Apostrophe on Substack Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Game Seven Gut Punch: Seattle's Sports Hangover Hits Hard 4:35 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 8:08 | Two Runs from Glory, Miles from Satisfaction 31:47 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Game Seven Heartbreak: Mariners Fall Short of the World Series in Toronto 1:02:40 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Defense Carries Seattle to 27–19 Win as Darnold Struggles and JSN Shines 1:28:04 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Indiana's Miracle Run, Vandy's Rise, and Dabo's Slide — Rick Neuheisel on the Wild State of College Football 1:55:43 | Other Stuff Segment: Shohei Ohtani's three-homer ten-strikeout masterpiece, Washington's missed chances in Ann Arbor and upcoming Illinois matchup, Florida firing Billy Napier with speculation around Jed Fisch and Lane Kiffin, Seahawks bye-week talk and whether Tyler Lockett could return, Teoscar Hernandez refusing to stay at Milwaukee's haunted Pfister Hotel, ghost stories, and baseball superstition.

RUNDOWN   Was this the single greatest weekend in Seattle sports history? Mitch and Hotshot relive Friday night's 15-inning epic at T-Mobile Park as the Mariners advanced to the ALCS — Hotshot shares his in-stadium perspective, spilled beer and all, describing the crowd as “ear-splitting, like 1995 all over again.” Mitch calls Bryce Miller's Game 1 masterpiece in Toronto “legendary” and compares it to the Mariners' own must-win over Detroit. Then comes the forgotten hero of the weekend: Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., whose 538-yard, four-touchdown night went largely unseen while fans watched baseball on their phones. Add in the Seahawks' 20–12 win over Jacksonville (seven sacks despite missing key defenders), a Kraken overtime winner, and even Humpy the Salmon's long-awaited race victory — and Mitch declares it “the most joy-filled Seattle weekend in decades.” Mitch welcomes Joe Doyle (Over Slot) and Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) after Seattle's gritty 3–1 win to open the ALCS in Toronto — a game nobody expected them to take. The trio break down Bryce Miller's six-inning gem on three days' rest, the early escape that steadied him, and how his righty-righty splitter and held-velocity heater set the tone. They praise the bullpen trio of Spire, Brash, and Muñoz, the clutch base-running by Randy Arozarena, and Cal Raleigh's homer that flipped the energy of the entire series. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN.com) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) after the Seahawks' 20-12 road win over Jacksonville — a cross-country statement built on a revived pass rush and Sam Darnold's continued efficiency. The trio break down Byron Murphy's monster day (2 sacks, 7 pressures), a seven-sack team effort that could've reached double digits, and the coaching adjustments Mike McDonald made one week after the Tampa Bay meltdown. They highlight Darnold's nearly flawless 295-yard, 2-TD outing and debate whether he's already a top-tier QB in the NFC. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after witnessing Indiana's stunning 30–20 win over Oregon in Eugene — the Hoosiers' first-ever road win over a top-five team. Rick praises head coach Kurt Signetti for his “keep-it-inside” defensive discipline and authenticity, calling him “hotter than Texas chili” as Penn State's likely next target after James Franklin's firing. They discuss the money storm brewing in the Big Ten's upcoming $2.4 billion media deal, why booster influence now drives coaching turnover, and how NIL has reshaped the sport's economy. Rick breaks down SEC chaos after Auburn's controversial finish versus Georgia, the Texas rebound behind Steve Sarkisian, and why parity is spreading as defensive-line depth thins across power programs. Mitch “plants his spear” for Washington QB Damon Williams Jr., claiming him for Taco Time's Doing Some Work honors after a 538-yard night, while Rick awards his crispy burritos to Texas A&M's defense — 2-for-33 on third downs over three games.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Greatest Seattle Sports Weekend Ever?

RUNDOWN   Are Seattle sports are even fun anymore? Six hours “chewing my fingernails and losing hair.” Mitch and Scott argue about what “fun” in fandom really means, roast Matt Brash for his walk-filled chaos, and marvel at the weirdness of Seattle beating Tarik Skubal yet again. Mitch welcomes Brady Farkas (Refuse to Lose Podcast) and Joe Doyle (Over-Slot / Future Stars Series) for a fiery Mariners No-Table as Seattle heads to Detroit tied 1–1. They rave over Jorge Polanco's two-homer night off Cy Young favorite Tarik Skubal and the team's resilience, then dissect Dan Wilson's bullpen management in Game 1, Bryce Miller's usage, and the decision to start George Kirby. The group debates Matt Brash's shaky late-inning trust, Julio Rodriguez's base-running and clutch turnaround, and whether the Tigers or Mariners now hold the upper hand as the ALDS resumes. Mitch welcomes Brady Henderson (ESPN Seahawks Insider) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) for a heated Seahawks No-Table after Seattle's gut-wrenching 38–35 loss to Tampa Bay. The trio debates how Mike Macdonald's defense—ranked among the NFL's best through two weeks—got completely schemed apart by Baker Mayfield. Mitch rips the lack of pressure from Byron Murphy and Leonard Williams, the blown coverage across the secondary, and the failure to get a stop with the game on the line. All agree: Sam Darnold looked spectacular, throwing four touchdowns and confirming his franchise-QB credentials even in defeat. CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch after an emotional weekend that saw his son Jerry Neuheisel call plays for UCLA in the upset win over Penn State. Rick describes watching from the CBS studio as his phone exploded with messages, reliving the moment as both a broadcaster and a dad. He shares the behind-the-scenes timeline of Jerry being handed play-calling duties, his pride in how the Bruins responded, and the joy of seeing his family's work pay off. From there, the conversation turns to the broader college-football landscape — Penn State and Texas now facing uphill climbs to the playoff, Notre Dame's renewed path, the Huskies' comeback win in Maryland, Florida's bounce-back under Billy Napier, and previewing the week ahead with Oregon–Indiana on CBS.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Fingernails to Fun Forest: Mitch and Hotshot Debate Whether Sports Are Still Fun After Six Brutal Hours of Seahawks and Mariners Angst 12:15 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 15:46 | Mariners Split, Seahawks Stumble: Mitch Calls It “Inexcusable,” Hotshot Still Finds Hope in Detroit 32:01 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Polanco Powers Mariners Even, Wilson's Moves Debated as Series Shifts to Detroit 55:21 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Defense Collapses in 38–35 Shootout: MacDonald Takes the Blame, Darnold Shines in Defeat 1:20:50 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; A Proud Papa Moment — Rick Neuheisel on His Son's Play-Calling Debut and a Wild Weekend in College Football 1:51:20 | Other Stuff Segment: Michael Bennett defends Russell Wilson and says Richard Sherman's criticism is personal animosity, debate over whether Russ deserves the Hall of Fame, Mark Sanchez stabbed in Indianapolis parking dispute involving pepper spray, 49ers backup QB Mac Jones discovers a dead body outside his hotel before Thursday Night Football, Texas Rangers part ways with Bruce Bochy and promote Skip Schumaker, Jay Cutler released early from DUI jail after trying to pay off a fender-bender with $2,000, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's reported split includes a “no-cocaine bonus clause,” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gets early Oscar buzz for The Smashing Machine as MMA fighter Mark Kerr, Lionel Richie claims Michael Jackson was literally nicknamed “Smelly,” Mitch realizes the real-life fighter from The Smashing Machine went to Syracuse the same time he did.

RUNDOWN   (352) is Gainesville, Florida — home of the University of Florida. They reflect on Petty's legendary catalog, from “American Girl” to “Free Fallin',” his Beatles-inspired path to music, and his legacy in Gators football culture. Mitch and Hotshot recap the Seahawks' nail-biting win in Glendale, where a late Jason Meyers field goal sealed the victory to move Seattle to 3–1. They turn to the Huskies' tough loss against Ohio State, noting costly penalties and red-zone failures that made the final score more lopsided than the game felt. The Mariners closed the regular season with a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers but secured the No. 2 seed at 90–72. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join Mitch to debate whether the late skid matters, the state of the bullpen (Bazardo vs. Brash in high-leverage spots, Munoz's control issues), and the playoff rotation order. They also spar over Cal Raleigh's MVP case against Aaron Judge and whether Seattle should prefer Cleveland or Detroit in the ALDS. The Seahawks dominated for three quarters in Arizona before letting the Cardinals storm back with 17 unanswered points, needing Jason Myers' last-second field goal to escape with a win. The No-Table crew weighs Sam Darnold's poise, Mike Macdonald's conservative late-game decisions, the defense's lapses, and the ongoing questions with the run game and offensive line. Mitch welcomes CBS Sports' Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, for his weekly whip-around of the college football world. They break down Washington's missed opportunities against Ohio State, Alabama's statement win at Georgia, and why depth in the trenches separates contenders from pretenders. Rick also weighs in on Penn State's playoff chances, Miami–Florida State as a marquee matchup, and hands out his Chicken Caesar Taco awards before making his Week 6 pick.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over-Slot Substack Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Gators, Guitar Lessons, and the Great Tom Petty 9:05 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 13:20 | Seahawks Hold On, Huskies Fall Short, Mariners Await Their Opponent 35:47 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners Finish 90–72, Set for ALDS with Questions Looming 1:00:26 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Survive Scare in Glendale 1:27:02 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on Huskies, Bama's Revival, and the Week Ahead in College Football 1:56:57 | Other Stuff Segment: Hotshot raves about the film One Battle After Another with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, calling it the best movie he's seen in a decade, while Mitch celebrates that the Astros have been eliminated from the playoffs and notes the Mariners' upcoming intrasquad scrimmages at T-Mobile.
