The guys introduced the topic of potentially trading for an offensive lineman before the trade deadline. Take Two: Seahawks practice report showed that both Devon Witherspoon and DK Metcalf did not practice today & Freddie Freeman won the World Series MVP becoming just the 12th player to win a regular season and World Series MVP. Taylor Trammell who played for both the Yankees and Dodgers this season was going to win a ring regardless of the series outcome. Seahawks Legend Steve Largent joins the show to talk about his time with the Seahawks and reminiscing on some old memories of his playing days. He also talks about some of today’s players and compares them to guys from back in his era.
Paul Moyer joins the show to give us a look into the problems and potential solutions for this Seahawks defense and shares some stories from his days of playing with Steve Largent. Is the source of the Seahawks problems with their scheme, communication, or a combination of both? Could there be a lack of trust with the offensive line and indecisiveness from the RB’s? There has to be a solution to get this team back on track. In an edition of too early 2025 World Series predictions, the Mariners are tied with the 9th best odds to win the Fall Classic in 2025. What do the Mariners have to capitalize on in order to make a postseason push? The top 3 payrolls in the MLB were 3 of the 4 teams in the ALCS & NLCS, can the Mariners compete with the higher payroll clubs?

Hour 1: Yesterday after the show there was a very uncomfortable situation with Kay Adams. She was not amused. We imagine what Aaron RODGERS' silent retreat in darkness will sound like as he attempts to make a decision about his future. Derek Carr and the Saints have permission to talk to each other. Boomer said Carr doesn't want to come to the Jets because Zach Wilson is still here. If RODGERS goes to the Raiders the Jets will be in a bad situation. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the Knicks winning in Orlando. What will the Knicks do at the trade deadline? Cam Thomas had another 40+ points game. KD and the Nets are having intense conversations about the future. LeBron passed Kareem on the all-time scoring list for the most points ever. Kyrie Irving was introduced in Dallas and Said being in New York was tiring. He wants to be in places where he's celebrated and not just tolerated. Aaron RODGERS was on with Pat MCAFEE and talked about his darkness retreat. Did Aaron RODGERS cheat at Pebble Beach with his handicap? Garrett Wilson was asked about catching passes from Aaron RODGERS in the future. Sauce Gardner knows a little something about something. In the final segment of the hour, our attempt to get Kevin Burkhardt to come to Radio row in person is not looking good. Steve Largent will join us later on behalf of #HeGetsUs and we wonder if known atheist Eddie Scozzare should be able to ask some questions.

Jerry returns for an update but first Kevin Burkhardt calls in to the show. He talked about his time working overnight shifts at WFAN.
