They jump into the discussion about the Mariners and the future of ROOT Sports and react to the Seattle Times article by Adam Jude and Ryan Divish that the team will once again operate on the network next season. However, there is not much clarity from the team and what exactly it will look like, which leaves many who work for the network in the dark. Jim and Puck discuss how unfair it is for the M's still keep their employees in the lurch of what their plans are. They wonder why the Mariners don't just steal a play out of the Kraken playbook and go on local television and then offer a streaming service. The Seattle Times also had a story about the wild success that the Kraken are having with their Kraken Hockey Network and so far early in the season it has been a runaway success compared to being on ROOT Sports the last few years. They also turn their attention to what the Mariners will do in free agency and the likelihood that they will sign Justin Turner and or Carlos Santana. Puck doesn't think a serious organization brings back a 40 and 39 year old, however, Jim disagrees and likes what Turner brings.

Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat about all the news and notes around the NFL. Puck and Mike get temporarily distracted because they start talking about golf and who they would like to play if they could choose anyone in the golf world! Once they stop talking about golf, they get into the Seahawks win over the 49ers and how important that was for Seattle and how crushing it was for San Francisco. Amazingly the Seahawks will be playing for first place in the NFC West on Sunday. They react to Geno Smith's appearance on the Richard Sherman Podcast.

Did the Steelers once again offer the blueprint how to beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens?The “Dugar Report” with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic as he joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his brand new weekly appearance taking the latest with the Seattle Seahawks. Mike and Puck get right into the win over the 49ers and what was the single biggest reason for the win. Mike told Puck that Mike Macdonald offered a different tone than what Pete Carroll would always preach. It was great to have Abe Lucas back on the field and you could tell immediately that he was a difference maker and he raised the play of the entire offensive line. Geno Smith continues to be hot topic with fans and media and showed again with his last second drive why he continues to be such a polarizing topic and player. Mike gets into a very interesting discussion with Puck on the team building philosophy of Mike Macdonald and how it's different than the rest of the league thinking and how it harkens back to an older style of football. They also discuss the 49ers window and look ahead to the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Lastly, Puck wraps up the Thursday show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Money is not everything for everyone. Washington State defensive tackle David Gusta illustrated that this week with Puck. Happiness is being where you are and in the present.

That led to a conversation about the changing landscape of college football and will there be a day where all the West coast teams play in one conference again. Puck plays a soundbite from WSU defensive tackle David Gusta about the world of the transfer portal and the world of tampering by other college coaches. Gusta is Puck's guest this week on Coug's Corner, which you can find on YouTube, Apple, Spotify and up at PuckSports.com. The NCAA and college football need to get a handle on tampering and the NIL before it truly gets out of hand. Before Jim leaves, both discuss the top of Ernest Jones and why so many people after just three games want to sign him up immediately. Also, the boys had a good laugh at the decision looming for Jedd Fisch with who he's going to start at quarterback against Oregon. Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.comjoins Jason “Puck” Puckett to discuss the Seahawks remarkable win over San Francisco. Rob proclaims the 49ers finished and their window closed to make a run at the Super Bowl. They discuss the up and down play of Geno Smith and get into the discussion of whether to pay him or not pay him. It's a subject that is driving Rob mad! Should the Seahawks drop everything and sign Ernest Jones to a contract? Rob and Puck are both an agreement that it's way too early and let the season play out before you come to any conclusion. They also can't figure out why Pro Football Focus (PFF) does not like Jones. Can you believe the Seahawks have a shot at first place in the NFC West?! Puck and Rob can't and that's what makes sports fun.

Puck and Jim open up the show discussing the Cougars effort and challenges of keeping John Mateer in Pullman. Puck argues that the fanbase can make a difference and he believes he'll stay. They also touch in on the breaking news that Abe Lucas has been activated off the PUP list and will play Sunday against the 49ers. How healthy and effective will Lucas be? That remains a big question mark. Puck tells Jim that he missed a great basketball game on Tuesday night between the Mavericks and Warriors with Klay Thompson's homecoming. Crowd was great.

They open up discussing why catcher Cal Raleigh should have won the Silver Slugger Award over Salvador Perez. The conversation then turns to their offseason look at the third base position. Currently the only internal option to play third base is Josh Rojas. Ryan thinks they'll bring Rojas back but he won't primarily be the third baseman and that they will have to find another option there, most likely via a trade. Ryan believes you could have a situation where Rojas and Dylan Moore will platoon at second base. Ryan also gets into the teams desire to bring Justin Turner back and their preference to trade Luis Castillo in the offseason. And, Divish contemplated the idea that Puck brought up about trading for Phillis third baseman Alec Bohm. Would that be a good fit for the M's?Lastly, Puck wraps up with “Hey, What the Puck!?” It's time for Cougar fans to get out and support their players.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett was joined by Chris Egan, KING 5 for his weekly visit. Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy and handicapper Troy West had the Friday off. Puck opened up the show by discussing a topic for Cougar fans, why aren't you showing up to home games?

Puck wonders what the school and community can do to make it more cost affordable to attend games. Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat brought to you by Fatzach's Pizza. Egan and Puck jump right into the issues with the Seattle Seahawks and just how far are they away from winning a championship? Should they pay D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith in the offseason? Puck asks Egan the same question that Ryan Divish asked Puck this week, which Seattle professional team is the closest to winning a championship? The teams are the Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken and Husky football. Egan agreed with Puck and Divish that the Seattle Mariners are the closest team in Seattle to winning a championship. The main reason is that the Mariners have the best pitching staff in baseball and the best catcher in baseball. Those other teams don't have the best anything. Egan and Puck shifted the conversation to middle school sports and why their is a lack of coaching at that level, because Puck and Egan are now coaching basketball because their schools don't have anyone that has stepped up.
