On Friday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by his weekly Friday guests, Jim Moore, handicapper TroyWins.com and Chris Egan, KING 5. Puck and Jim open up the show talking about the differences between Thanksgiving and Christmas and Puck put Thanksgiving as a -5.5 point favorite over Christmas. So, they debate the line and Puck gives his reasons why he prefers Thanksgiving and Jim says he'd take Christmas at +5.5. 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. PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck and Jim to go over all the football bets for the weekend and at the end they give our their “Dogs of the Week.” Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat.

Feliks Banel's guests on this live broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY are a panel of expert local historians, researchers and authors who have been collaborating on a search for evidence of Peter Kirk's long-ago steel mill on Rose Hill, east of downtown Kirkland near the Costco. Matt McCauley, Kent Sullivan, Saundra Middleton (who is a descendant of Peter Kirk) and Michael Donnelly have been studying archives, maps, photos and other materials to paint a vivid picture of the partial construction of the mill in the 1890s, the specific whereabouts of various buildings and structures, as well as the ultimate fate of the site (and of Kirk's venture) in the early 20th century. The group will be presenting two free illustrated public programs at Heritage Hall in Kirkland in October and November. The first will take place Wednesday, October 30 at 7:00 pm; the second will take place on Wednesday, November 20 at 7:00 pm. More information: https://kirklandhistory.org/ We also played some vintage audio from Tony Ventrella, the beloved local broadcaster who passed away on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at age 80.

After weeks of talk about all of the potential players the Seattle Seahawks could draft, we now know the newest members of the team. Adam and Brandan take some time to lay out their thoughts on Seattle's second-round pick Frank Clark and why they feel the draft got off to a disappointing start. From third-round pick Tyler Lockett to the final pick of the seventh round, Ryan Murphy, the guys talk about reasons to cheer for and get excited about each one of them. The clear winner of the post-draft interviews with Seahawks reporter Tony Ventrella was offensive lineman Terry Poole of San Diego State. Nate Boyer, "Better at Life" honoree from episode 69, was one of the undrafted free agents signed by Seattle and Brandan talks about how the story of this long snapper is better than the iconic sports movie Rudy. The show wraps up with the guys talking about their weekend trip to Seattle, reading some reviews and emails before getting into Do Better nominees Pete Prisco and Roger Goodell. Lastly, Adam's Better at Life honors go out to 49ers GM Trent Baalke, while Brandan focuses on all of the displays of military appreciation by the Seahawks this weekend. iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn | Facebook | Twitter | RSS Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Please fill out our short audience survey Download our free Amazon app or Android app in the Google Play store Find Sea Hawkers clubs around the world at SeaHawkers.org Music from the show by The 12 Train, download each track at ReverbNation
