Furness Show 2-28: Stupid Season, Gregg Bell, Danny O'Neil. Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

It's 'stupid season' when it comes to reporting. Somehow the NFL figured out how to make everything a big deal. There is no way the Seahawks brought in Klint Kubiak without planning on making use of DK Metcalf. Gregg Bell, The News Tribune reacts to the new DK Metcalf rumors and tells us why there's not a lot of reason to trust what we're hearing and seeing right now. He sees DK Metcalf getting a very large contract from Seattle and thinks there's a minimal chance of the Seahawks moving him. While Gregg sees Schneider apt to trade back in the draft, he doesn't think they're trading out of the first round. The Daily Power Play! Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! tells us his honest thoughts on what UW basketball is doing right now...or not doing. We delve into college hoops. Danny stands firmly in Ian Rapoport's camp through the 'beef' Jordan Schultz has with him. He spills the tea. Finally, why Danny can buy a subscription to watch the Mariners in NY, but we can't here in Seattle. Checking in on the Tullamore Dew Text Line! Crosstalk with Softy!
