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? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've grabbed the best moments of the Friday show for ya!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

It's been a month since the Seattle Seahawks won their second Super Bowl, and their first in more than a decade. Curt caught up with Jacson Bevens from the revered Cigar Thoughts Football Show to discuss the aftermath. Plus:- How did Jacson become a household name in Seattle sports media? - What is life like as a realtor in the US?- What is the plight of a Seattle sports fan with failings in every other sport?- How disastrous was the SuperSonics relocation?Timestamps:00:00 The Maxx Crosby Trade Mess07:43 Losing the Super Bowl MVP12:42 The Origin of Cigar Thoughts21:13 Life as a Realtor in the US Housing Market36:50 Seattle Sports History40:49 The Shady SuperSonics Deal44:35 Seahawks Fans in Australia46:23 Rubbing Shoulders with NFL Stars57:43 The Super Bowl High#nfl #seattle #seahawks #superbowl #samdarnold #nba #12thman-Listen to Curt Cant Talk on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5PchBN2f1bWpvTVXD7IVfSListen to Curt Cant Talk on Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/curt-cant-talk/id1845086552Listen to Cigar Thoughts on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/65f1RybWFZEojWwfBm5Etf?si=cab1a78909c74383Watch ⁠ @CigarThoughts ⁠ on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CigarThoughts-Follow Curt Can't Talk everywhere at the handle CurtCantTalk.https://www.instagram.com/curtcanttalk/ https://www.tiktok.com/@curtcanttalk https://www.facebook.com/curtcanttalk/ -This is a Muscle Cat Media production.-

We revisit the Maxx Crosby situation in Las Vegas. Are the raiders going to come down on their asking price for Crosby after the Ravens nixed the trade? The Ravens said he didn't pass their physical, but it was convenient that they had Trey Hendrickson signed right away and it's seeming like they just got cold feet and backed out of the trade. The Raiders made a lot of moves in free agency, but still have cap room for Crosby and they're playing it up like they really want him and he really wants to be there. Will any other team step up and make an offer for Crosby that the Raiders can't refuse? :30- We're trying something new and putting the listeners in charge! Sup? It's a simple question with less simple answers. :45- Phew! The US made it through to the quarterfinals of the WBC, but we definitely didn't need that tension and stress! Now the US will face Canada on Friday at 5pm and they're allowed to make roster changes. Skubal, Wacha and Yarborough are now all off the roster, being replaced by Tim Hill, Tyler Rogers and Will Vest… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks made some moves that might seem minor, but were important for the franchise moving forward and Gregg gives us all the info on the signings. Who might the Seahawks be looking at to replace Ken Walker? What's the latest on Maxx Crosby and the Seahawks interest? :30- The Huskies stayed alive after an OT win over USC in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Is Danny Sprinkle the answer? 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? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We survived the windstorm! Maxx Crosby is clearly re-thinking his future in Las Vegas and the Raiders seem to be mending the relationship with their star, or is it all being done just to maintain his trade value and lure in potential trade partners? :30- Team USA advances to the WBC quarterfinals thanks to Team Italy and Vinnie Pasquantino. Did Italy really want to win for themselves and to help out Team USA? Perhaps. :45- Cal vs Randy is still a thing and other teams are sending a message to the US as Fernando Tatis and William Contreras hugged at the plate before the DR/Venezuela game yesterday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MATT SANTANGELO (Zags basketball) Matt makes his annual visit to the show to talk Zags basketball as they head into another NCAA tournament. Was Matt a part of the new Zags documentary? This year has been a little more difficult for Gonzaga, how confident is Matt feeling about their tourney chances? How has Gonzaga found so much success in basketball? :30- It's been quiet for the Seahawks as the new league year begins. They are one of only two teams who haven't signed anyone new. Are we ok with the lack of free agency splash? :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had four BIG topics this morning and we covered them all!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We return the conversation to baseball and the WBC. Was it a massive upset that Italy beat the US last night? No, but it would be a huge upset if the US doesn't make it out of pool play because the US thought they'd already punched their ticket to the quarterfinals. How much of this is on manager Mark DeRosa? :30- AL KINISKY (KAN Color Analyst) What is going on with Bobby McMann's paperwork? When can we expect the newest member of the Kraken to actually play in a game? Matty Beniers is showing some toughness and grit and we like it! Can the Kraken get the job done in this last stretch of the season? :45- We wrap up our show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HUGH MILLEN joins the show with his thoughts on the Seahawks free agents returning and more from the frenzy. We start with Rashid Shaheed, how will the payday for Shaheed be worth it for the Seahawks? What should we expect? And now the Seahawks have a hole to fill with Ken Walker headed to Kansas City. Did they make a mistake letting walker go and how will they fill the void? :30- Hugh is back with more of his thoughts on Seahawks free agency: The Hawks lose Riq Woolen and keep Josh Jobe, how does Hugh feel about that? :45- The Ravens have created quite a mess in the NFL with The Maxx Crosby failed trade. Now Crosby is back on the trade block and it appears that the Raiders are still seeking two first round picks as compensation for the veteran defensive end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We have to start with the Maxx Crosby news… now that the trade to the Ravens has been nixed, are the Seahawks back in the mix? Riq Woolen is headed to Philadelphia, but only on a one-year deal. Geno Smith is on his way back to the NY Jets… will it work the second time around? :30- Ok, so maybe this Cal and Randy is a thing… Cal made a statement ahead of last night's game and said he reached out to Randy, but it doesn't appear that Randy responded. Are we concerned that this will cause problems in the Clubhouse when the guys are back with the Mariners? No, we think it will absolutely be resolved by then, but it's definitely more of a thing than we originally thought. :45- It's time to get Reckless at Breakfast! Does the format of the WBC need to be changed? Should pool play be eliminated? Do the eligibility rules need to be changed for players representing other countries? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have to start with the WBC… it was bad enough that USA lost to Italy last night, but for DeRosa to have thought that the US had punched their ticket to the quarterfinals after the win over Mexico takes things to a new level. Apparently team USA sat around telling stories and drinking beer after the win over Mexico and there were some guys who weren't feeling too great yesterday as DeRosa told MLB Network. How did no one correct him and tell him they weren't guaranteed a spot in the quarters yet? The US went out and gave up 5 runs early to Italy… sloppy defensive play added three more runs and the US found themselves in an 8-0 hole before their bats woke up. Now we wait to see what happens with Italy and Mexico today and can only hope that the US isn't eliminated. :30- The Drama in the WBC wasn't the only thing going on last night… The Baltimore Ravens backed out of the trade with the Raiders for Maxx Crosby, saying he didn't pass their physical. This morning they have conveniently signed Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year deal and got to keep their first round draft picks. So, did Crosby fail the physical or did the Ravens just get cold feet? :45- We told you there was a lot going on, so we head to the NBA, where Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points last night. But it was not without controversy as 43 points came from free throws and the Heat were doing all they could to get him the ball and more time to score.

We had four BIG topics this morning and we covered them all!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Day 1 of Tamperfest was madness and Day 2 has been very quiet as we begin our 2nd hour of our Tamperfest specialty show with mike Sando still in-studio. Let's talk about quarterbacks- namely our quarterback: The Geno Smith and Sam Darnold storylines could not have been more polar-opposites in 2025. And what about other QB moves around the league this week? Should Kyler Murray leave the NFL for MLB? Things have been very quiet this morning and Riq Woolen is still out there on the free agent market- will he land a really big deal? How did Mike feel about the Jobe contract? Is Ken Walker the answer Kansas City has been looking for? :30- The Ol Judge is here and Mike Sando is ready to prove he belongs in the courtroom! Ken Walker is not only going to be good in Kansas City, he's going to win a rushing title. JSN will become the highest paid wide receiver in the league and he's going to make $50 million a year. The Randy-Cal handshake-gate is going to end up being a problem. :45- We wrap up this Day 2 of Tamperfest show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family night at WWE and a WBC controversy. Social media was buzzing about the fact that Cal Raleigh refused to shake Randy Arozarena's hand last night prior to Randy's at-bat. While a lot of people understood the competition aspect, others were quick to jump on our favorite catcher. Randy didn't exactly ease the tension postgame when he addressed Cal and the alleged snub in 4 languages. :30- Tamperfest Day 1 was full of action, so what did we think of the Seahawks moves? Bringing back Shaheed at a higher price than we expected and re-signing Jobe, while saying goodbye to Ken Walker, Boye Mafe and Coby Bryant. What were we most surprised by? :45- With Ken Walker now running the ball for the Chiefs in 2026, who can the Seahawks bring in to fill that hole? Alvin Kamara, Devon Achane, Josh Jacobs… would any of those guys be the right fit? Chuck has an idea for a guy we should be looking at… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) The Seahawks lose Walker, Bryant and Mafe and keep Shaheed and Jobe- what did Gregg think of the moves made on Day 1 of Tamperfest? What was most surprising to him? The Seahawks will start the season with Charbonnet and now that Walker is gone; what is the plan for the Seahawks at running back? :30- EVERETT FITZHUGH (Kraken Audio Network PxP) The Kraken waited until the very last minute, but ended up pulling off a trade for Bobby McMann before the deadline. What does Everett think of the addition, what does he bring to this team and where will fit? When can we expect to see McMann make his debut with the Kraken? :45- Should the Seahawks be concerned after losing Coby Bryant and Boye Mafe and do they have holes to fill or do they already have the personnel? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the best our Tamperfest Specialty Show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) is in-studio to talk tampering! What do the Seahawks lose with Ken Walker now suiting up for the Chiefs and how do they fill that hole? What options are there to replace Walker and who would make the best fit? Is Shaheed worth what the Seahawks are going to pay him or was it a reaction to losing Walker and needing to keep one of them? Should we be surprised that the Hawks weren't able to keep Coby Bryant? Boye Mafe is headed to the Bengals for $20 million a year, is Sando surprised that Mafe got that much and does Hendrickson have a reputation? :30- More with Mike Sanod! The 49ers and Rams were making adds while the Seahawks were trying to hang onto their own. Did our division rivals improve drastically? Was the Mike Evans addition the answer the 49ers have been looking for? How lost are the Arizona Cardinals? :45- The Las Vegas Raiders sure were busy yesterday, spending the most money in free agency so far and making a lot of additions to their team. Is this the way to improve your team quickly or is it just a component and are they on the right path? Is Tyler Linderbaum the key addition with Fernando Mendoza most likely headed to Vegas with he 1st pick in the draft? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the podcast, Danny sits down with Beth Knox, President and CEO of the Seattle Sports Commission, to talk about why this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in Seattle sports history. From major events coming to the city to the continued growth of Seattle as a global sports destination, Beth shares what's ahead and why the momentum around Seattle sports is real. Later in the episode, artist and lifelong basketball fan Django Degree joins the show for a conversation about National Basketball Association culture, the deep nostalgia surrounding the Seattle SuperSonics, and why the Sonics still hold such a powerful place in the city's identity. It's an episode about Seattle's past, present, and future in sports — and why the city still feels ready for its next big chapter.

Maura Dooley, of Seattle Sports, joined The Drive to give a more positive breakdown of the Chiefs newest RB Kenneth Walker.

Tamperfest gets started today and we are SO ready to get our Tamp On! We follow the NFL news all show long and get insight from Robert Turbin and the latest 12th man news from Gregg Bell as well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ROBERT TURBIN (Sirius XM NFL/CBS) The Tampering is officially on and Robert joins the show to give his insight on the frenzy. How important is Ken Walker to this Seahawks offense and should they bring him back? What allowed Ken Walker to have the postseason success he had? Should Walker have been upset by the shared carries this season? Is there another free agent outside of Walker that the Seahawks should be working hard to keep? :30- The frenzy is underway! We check the latest info from the NFL as we are just 30 minutes into the tampering. :45- We close out the show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

T-minus one hour to Tamperfest! As we count down to NFL free agency, we speculate what might happen with our big 6 free agents and consider who the Seahawks might have their eye on. We can assume that Ken Walker will be wearing a different uniform in 2026 and we can also assume that another team is going to be overpaying for the veteran running back based off his post-season performance. :30- Maxx Crosby is headed to the Ravens and as much as we would have liked to have him on the team, we are fine with the Seahawks not giving up two draft picks and paying that big salary. Yes, the Seahawks did have the draft capital, but the Ravens draft picks seem more enticing given that the Seahawks are picking 32nd this year and hopefully late in the first round next year as well. :45- We have a BIG WBC matchup tonight as the US and Mexico face off. Should there be some changes to the WBC format? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) We check in with Gregg ahead of Tampering and get his thoughts on Maxx Crosby not coming to Seattle, Devon Witherspoon's future contract and the Seahawks potential free agency activity. :30- Geno Smith got released by the Raiders last week and then spent the weekend getting into a twitter war with Wendy's after their social media team took a cheap shot at the former Seahawks QB. :45- The Kraken went down to the NHL trade deadline wire before making a trade for Bobby McMann, who enters this team as the second-leading goal scorer. Is he the answer to the Kraken offensive struggles? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

We cover the top 8 sports stories of the day in the OCHO 1. 3 days til we tamper! 2. Seahawks reward Drake Thomas 3. NHL Trade Deadline less than 4 hours away… 4. World Baseball Classic 5. Mariners Spring Training 6. Sounders in St Louis 7. UW closes out the regular CBB season 8. GESA State Championships :30- It's time to Check Yes or No one more time before Tamperfest and the frenzy get underway! - Kenneth Walker, Rashid Shaheed, Boye Mafe, Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen… who is coming back to the Seahawks? :45- No, Jerry Dipoto didn't just start making the right moves, he's been doing it all along, but the Mariners front office also got out of their own way and it's paying off. A top 5 farm system AND a World Series contender? That's impressive. 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.

Do we dare? Yes, we do! It is NHL Trade Deadline Day! There were a few moves yesterday and a frenzy is expected before the noon deadline, but will the Kraken participate? The inconsistent play of the Kraken doesn't bode well for a strong playoff run, if they make the playoffs… and a trade for a big name sure could help bolster this offense. Is it a miss if they don't make a move? :30- It's NFL trade rumor season, are the Chicago Bears prepping to trade for Maxx Crosby? The Seahawks have reportedly been in talks to get Crosby, with rumors circulating that John Schneider has made a couple offers for the vet. Would it be smarter for the Seahawks to pass on a possible trade for Maxx Crosby and hang onto their draft capital and go for free agent Trey Hendrickson? :45- There's some serious beef between the National media guys! Florio and Schefter are going after each other on X and the beef is highly entertaining. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HUGH MILLEN's Free Agency X's and O's We have Hugh break down the contributions of the Seahawks six major free agents and take a look at whether or not the Seahawks should bring them back. :30- MIKE BENTON (Kraken Audio Network) Mike joins us with just about 2 ½ hours to go until the NHL Trade Deadline. Will the Kraken make a move in the next few hours and should they? :45- We close out the show and the week with Booze news!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bob and Dave hear what the other Seattle Sports hosts had to say about the Seahawks running back options, some possible NFL Draft picks, and the expectations surrounding the Mariners this season in the Best of the Rest, they break down how the Rams trade for Trent McDuffie changes the power dynamic in the NFC, and they wrap up the show by finding out what we learned today!   

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.

Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) With free agency starting on Monday, we get the latest from Gregg Bell on the futures of Ken Walker, Rashid Shaheed and the other big Seahawks free agents. How likely is it that more than 1 of them will return and who is most likely to return? Will the Seahawks be active in free agency and do they have the resources to pull in any big names? What about trade value- do the Seahawks have the means to pull off any big trades? What about comp picks- do the Seahawks have the possibility of getting any of those if they lose these free agents? :30- Lou Holtz passed away yesterday at the age of 89, so we remember the College Football Hall of fame coaching legend. :45- Could Kyler Murray's next move be to head to the A's organization and start his MLB career? Do we think he would have a chance to make it to the majors? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to Check Yes or No and today we look at some trade possibilities assuming that free agency isn't getting us anywhere. 2 first rounders and Drew Lock for Maxx Crosby? Trading for AJ Brown if the price was low enough? What about moving up in the draft for Jeremiyah Love? Bringing in a vet like Josh Jacobs? :30- By all accounts, it sure seems like this Mariners team is going to be very good and there's a lot of positives to focus on heading into the 2026 season, but there are some concerns as well and we should talk about those. How concerned are we with Dan Wilson's managerial skills? Do we expect him to better this year? Is he the guy that will push all the right buttons and get the most out of this team? There were questionable moments last year, especially in the playoffs, but one thing is clear, Dan is loved by his players and is the guy to get the most out of them. In his second year we do expect that his decision-making will improve and he won't be the reason the Mariners fall short. :45- NFL News and Notes: - Breaking news- the Bills have traded for DJ Moore from the Bears - Russell Wilson speaks out about Sean Payton situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for Beat Bucky! :30- If Shaheed and Walker sign elsewhere, do we trust John and Mike to find replacements? One thing we know about this duo is that they know what they're looking for and they're very good at finding it! :45- We close out the show with one last thing!

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! 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?

The Dominican team was very fired up to be playing an exhibition game, we can't wait to see how they are when the real games begin. :45- Finally, we are done having to preview the Seahawks facing Kyler Murray and his legs twice a season.
