Show notes

The Mariners sweep the Astros and we're not even talking about the postseason - we're talking about winning the division and clinching the #2 seed in the AL! Who's your Seahawks hero and who's your goat? Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to talk about a subject they're not completely comfortable with...Mariners SUCCESS! Just kidding, the guys talk about what the team, their success and the historic implications mean to them, as well as to all the fans in the city. How important is getting the 2 seed in the American League for the Ms? Mollywhop Continues! Are the Mariners the best team in the American League? Chris says yes. Plus, Dan Wilson deserves a ton of credit. Hugh Millen, Hardcore Football! Hugh wasn't thrilled with the way Jedd Fisch handled the end of the Apple Cup. More importantly, we get to the Seahawks - the stats don't always tell the story of the game, especially when we're talking special teams specialties. Time of possession was skewed in unusual fashion. The Saints flat out didn't handle their business. Hugh also digs into Sam Darnold's performance. Hero or goat of the Seahawks? We listen to your talkbacks. FACT OR FICTION! Crosstalk with Softy!
