Chuck Powell joins Ian in studio, after having predicted the Servais firing if the Dodgers series went the way it did this week. Neither of the guys want anyone to lose a job, but this move just makes sense. How much blame should be put on Servais or Dipoto for the careers that came to Seattle to die? Chuck gives Jerry Dipoto a lot of credit for what he's done here - if you want him out, be careful what you wish for. An adequate offense should be enough for this team to be a perennial postseason contender. We begin the cavalcade of fans weighing in on the Mariners. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start to the weekend. Today, we talk quarterbacks as you prepare for your fantasy draft. Listeners let loose on the firing of Scott Servais, and boy do we have a lot.

Furness Show 8-20: Derick Hall, Joe Sheehan and Mariners fan reaction Aug 20, 2024

Derick Hall, Seahawks LB joins Ian to talk about the Seahawks style of defense and how he's operating within the 'violence' that Coach Macdonald is preaching. He talks about his growth from rookie season to this year and what his family means to him. His foundation, which reflect his own story. We discuss the step forward Hall looks like he's taking and what kind of character he brings to the locker-room. It's time to talk Mariners, as unfortunate as things are going. Are you rooting for a run, or an implosion? Ian wants the Mariners' hand to be forced to make a change. BREAKING: The Seattle Kraken agree to an extension that will keep him here for seven more years worth $7.4 million annually. Ian sees it as a team friendly deal. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins Ian to try and make sense of what's going on with the Mariners. He's happy we're still even talking baseball. Why can't they hit? He likes the Victor Robles signing, but even he's fallen off of late. We go hindsight on the moves at the trade deadline. Joe doesn't want the baby thrown out with the bathwater. The Astros deserve credit for their resurgence in the latter half of the season. Jerry Dipoto had a massive fail this offseason and it's hard to fathom them missing the playoffs without major changes. The worst thing that could happen for fans is missing the playoffs by a hair and nothing happening. Best case is they actually make the postseason. The Daily Power Play! Mike Benton joins Ian to discuss the Kraken locking up Matty Beniers for the next seven years. :03 - Ian clarifies what this Matty Beniers signing tells him about the front office's thoughts of him heading down the road.

Furness Show 8-16: Mariners talk, Tim Benz, Danny O'Neil and Rob Rang Aug 16, 2024

We made new friends today. The Mariners lost some, as we saw something unprecedented from the fans yesterday. It's been a long time since we've seen that type of emotion. People seem done with the team, and they're almost to the point of apathy. Tim Benz, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review joins us to preview the Mariners series with the Pirates, give us the latest on Russell Wilson with the Steelers and tells us whether he truly sees Brandon Aiyuk coming to town. You can't blame T-Mobile Park for offensive issues. Could things be changing with Geno Smith's contract? Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe gives his honest reaction to the Mariners latest downturn. As comically dismal we've seen them perform, Danny isn't letting it stop him from rooting for his team. Where do we place the blame for lack of success? Danny dives into the future for Geno Smith. We used a lot of negative adjectives regarding the Mariners yesterday and it was therapeutic for all. Ian tells you why this isn't just a T-Mobile issue and has the numbers to back it up. Bad news for those expecting a one-stop-shop for sports viewing in the near future. Rob Rang, FOX SPORTS tells us what he's looking for in the preseason from a scout's perspective. Byron Murphy stands out the most with the Seahawks right now. Rob gives us a rundown of how the Seahawks' roster might shape out.

Furness Show 8-15: Corbin Smith, Emergency Molly Whop, Brandon Funston. Aug 15, 2024

The Trail Blazers are leaving ROOT Sports, and Ian sees a demise of sports consumption for the fan. Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins us with the latest roster observations on the Seahawks. He has a new comparison for Byron Murphy and it's not one you've heard before. He's still surprised he dropped out of the top ten in the draft and marvels at how well it worked to John Schneider's benefit. Corbin takes us through the prospective depth chart. Next week is a big one for Abe Lucas. The Mariners just got swept by the Tigers and fall three games behind the Astros in the AL West. Things are not looking good. Chris Crawford, My Oh Why and Nathan Bishop of Dome and Bedlam join us and are simply exhausted by the ineptitude they've seen through this series - but also over the last nine years. They give us quite an honest review of the most recent performances. A sweep is a must for them heading into Pittsburgh. We hear from Scott Servais following the crapfest we saw in Detroit. We lighten things up with some fun audio from George Kittle, who takes some shots at the collective media. Brandon Funston, The Athletic Fantasy Guru joins us to kick off the unofficial start of the weekend! Today we run down the wide receiving group as you get ready to draft your roster!

Furness Show 8-14: Gary Hill, Steve Palazzolo, Gregg Bell. Aug 14, 2024

Wow, the Mariners really took it on the chin last night - how long do you watch in a beating like that? Julio had a hit, but he looked uncomfortable on the basepaths. We have questions about his health right now. Also, Jamal Adams continues being exactly who we thought he was, and he showed it in joint practice between the Seahawks and the Titans. Gary Hill, Mariners Broadcaster joins us following a rough 15-1 loss for the Mariners. How quickly can they flush that one? Plus, how bad were things for Julio last night as it looked as though he was laboring on the base paths? Gary fills us in on the more modern way of bringing guys back from injuries, as we were all surprised Julio didn't get a rehab assignment before returning. Finally, a look at the recent Robles signing. Who are the Mariners right now? It's hard to tell with the current ups and downs. Steve Palazzolo, The 33rd Team joins us for the first of many visits he'll have with us this football season. He discusses his new role and what he's looking forward to doing there. Steve is in Nashville and gives his insights from the Seahawks' joint practice with the Titans. We take a listen to Mike Macdonald following Seahawks joint practice. Coach Macdonald was pretty honest about what he could pay attention to during joint practice today, where he was focused on the defense today. Plus, Riq Woolen could have a bounce back like we've never seen before. Gregg Bell is in Tennessee live at the Seahawks' joint practices with the Titans and he joins us to give us some insight on how it's going. Gregg takes us through some personnel notes, from those who sat out of practice and who is standing out to him. Jamal Adams continues to be what we expect him to be. There are some surprise names Gregg is seeing rise.

Furness Show 8-13: Victor Robles Deal, Joe Sheehan, Daily Power Play, Mike Morris. Aug 13, 2024

Julio got thrown into the fire without a rehab assignment - why? Is Victor Robles' most recent performance sustainable? His contract is extremely club friendly, so why didn't he bet on himself? Has your opinion of Mariners ownership and the front office changed over the last few weeks? Ian applauds them for filling out their outfield. Steven Souza evaluated the Victor Robles deal and while he applauds Dipoto for getting it done, it's also a bit of a stretch considering his career numbers. He tells us the perspective from both the player and club side. A listener posed the question whether we'd like Jared Kelenic or Victor Robles right now, and we'd all take Robles. Plus, over in the NFL, we give the latest on the Brandon Aiyuk rumors. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins us to react to the Mariners signing Victor Robles to an extension, where they stand in their ability to make the post-season and why there's less value in getting the top seeds right now. However, a first round bye is ideal. Julio Rodriguez didn't get a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the team and it begs the question 'why'? Steven Souza joined Softy and Hugh yesterday and gave an inside perspective on why that was a bad choice. Sometimes the player needs to be protected from himself. The Daily Power Play! We had too many great moments out at Seahawks training camp and one of our favorite interviews was with Seahawks defensive end, Mike Morris. We revisit the best part of that conversation where he takes us inside this time of year.

Furness Show 8-12: Hardcore Football, Molly Whop Monday, Olympics Was Fun. Aug 12, 2024

Furness Show 8-9: Joe Sheehan, Rob Rang, Jermaine Kearse, Danny O'Neil. Aug 10, 2024

We are live from Snoqualmie Ridge! The Mariners won last night in unprecedented fashion and Mitch Haniger totally redeemed himself with a walkoff! There are reasons to be excited about tomorrow's Seahawks preseason game. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins us to give an inside look at the Mariners' next opponent as the Mets come to visit. Joe explains why he found this year's trade deadline 'incoherent' across the board.

Furness Show 8-8: Mike Morris, Corbin Smith, Brandon Funston. Aug 08, 2024

Ian is sick of people blaming DK Metcalf for training camp fights, especially because we had an unobstructed view of what happened. DK tried to walk away from Tre Brown several times during the scrap yesterday. Mike Morris, Seahawks DE sits down to give us a realistic view of the skirmishes we saw yesterday and what the message was from Mike Macdonald. The new head coach preaches violence in the game, but also brings the team together in brotherhood. Morris says it's not a big deal - it's football. Are DK Metcalf's penalties an issue for the Seahawks? Ian gives you stats that prove to him that they're not, but what do the fans think? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins us as we see a lighter practice taking place out here in training camp day number 14. The skirmishes we saw yesterday aren't anything new when it comes to football. Corbin welcomes it, as the Seahawks have been missing it in recent years. Corbin gives us his players to keep an eye on as we enter preseason. It's about time to talk about the baseball game last night, as much as we might not want to right now. The Seahawks are having a light practice right in front of us, which is a far cry from the physical, padded practice we saw yesterday. Brandon Funston, The Athletic kicks off the unofficial start to the weekend! He opens up the fantasy season with his top picks, takes questions from listeners and discusses the best running backs available right now.

Furness Show 8-7: Easop Winston, Curtis Crabtree, Jamey Vinnick. Aug 07, 2024

Easop Winston Jr., Seahawks WR joins Ian live at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and discusses his path to the NFL, what his family has done for him to get him to this place, playing for Mike Leach and what Mike Macdonald offers as a head coach. Plus, Ryan Grubb as an offensive coordinator, his role this year and what it was like playing with Gardner Minshew. The Seahawks sign a new center in Connor Williams to a 1-year contract, which doesn't bode well for anyone at that position here right now. The Mariners lost yesterday, and Ian feels there is misplaced blame on Scott Servais. Kickoff returns remain an unknown with the new rules. Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13 sits down with Ian for some roster roulette. He and Ian dive deep into each position group, both deep and thin, to tell you what this final 53 could look like.

He discusses what the AL West looks like and Seattle's best chances to lock it up. Finally, will the White Sox make history as the worst team of modern times this year? How different is the Mariners' clubhouse right now? Anders was there this weekend and fills us in. We hope Mitch Garver doesn't tap out for the rest of the season, as he seemed to imply last week. The Daily Power Play with Mike Benton! Chris Francis, FOX 13 joins Ian to talk about his new role with the station and getting back in the swing of things. Taking a step back for a bit gave him a different perspective of what the fan expectation is for the Seahawks this year. There are a lot of questions heading into this season, which is reason for excitement, but also a bit of anxiety. Finally, Chris sees the Mariners as a .500 baseball team, and not much more.

Furness Show 8-5: Brady Russell, Molly Whop Monday, Mike MacDonald Audio. Aug 06, 2024

Happy Monday folks. Did you know we're giving away a grill? The Mariners took two of three from the Phillies and we are thrilled that they continue to fight, Saturday night being one of the biggest examples. We are live from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center and fill you in on what we're seeing. As we watch DK Metcalf interact with the fans out here at training camp, Ian notes that he might be the most mis-characterized player on the current team. He's the only real 'superstar' right now, and his interactions on the field and off with the fans show us an amazing athlete and human. Brady Russell, Seahawks TE joins Ian to talk about his role with the Seahawks, why he loves Mike Macdonald and the versatility he maintains to remain 'uncuttable'. The Olympics are underway and the athleticism of the athletes can't be overstated. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join to break down the week that was for the Mariners - and we are pretty happy about it, especially after seeing what they did to fight back in Saturday night's game. Mollywhop continues as the guys react to what the Mariners did at the trade deadline. Anders has a point of contention when it comes to a bit of the Mollywhop. It's been a gorgeous day at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, but Ian admits the weekend tired him out more than rested him. Totally worth it though. Jim Harbaugh responded to some allegations recently and it was classic. Finally, we hear from Mike Macdonald after practice today.

Furness Show 8-2: Jarran Reed, John Kincade, Jake Dickert and Danny O'Neil Aug 02, 2024

Jarran Reed, Seahawks DE sits down with Ian to give an inside look at what the new look Seahawks have to offer, especially while learning this new defense.

Jake Dickert, Washington State HC jumps on with Ian to talk about what camp has looked like this year, where he's seen growth within his staff and the latest in the quarterback competition. The offensive line returns five guys with starting experience, which is a solid sign. He also discusses the veterans who have come back and the leadership he sees within. Geno Smith isn't practicing for the third day in a row, but no major concerns as we know the team won't be rushing him back. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe joins to discuss Mitch Garver and his recent comments. What crosses the line in sports criticism? UW is officially in the Big 10 today and he shares his thoughts.

Jarran Reed, Seahawks DE sits down with Ian to give an inside look at what the new look Seahawks have to offer, especially while learning this new defense. Although he admits he's a veteran now, he in no way feels 'old' at 31.

Furness Show 8-1: PJ Walker, Corbin Smith, Brandon Funston. Aug 01, 2024

PJ Walker, Seahawks QB sits down with Ian and discusses his experience in Seattle so far, his family and the process they've gone through in coming out here with a new baby. He breaks down the Seahawks QB room, the wide receiving group and tells us why DK Metcalf is as good as he is. The Blue Angels just never get old, no matter how many times we see them. Mitch Garver has not been good this year, but the fan feedback is clearly weighing on him. We hear what he had to say after the game last night. People hide behind screens to say vile things, and while absolutely not condoning it, Ian's advice is to look away. The fans are going to get behind him now. Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks tells Ian what he could see from yesterday's unique walkthrough. He looks at fringe guys by position groups, as well as depth in the defensive backfield. Bold declaration: Corbin thinks the wide receiver room is done and Dee Eskridge is the one on the outside looking in. We get back to Mitch Garver's comments from last night, where he says he won't let his play on the field dictate who he is as a person. While his offense is unacceptable, he's a more a more than adequate backup catcher. Regardless of his play, he doesn't deserve the vitriol he's seen. Geno Smith is out of practice again today. The Canadian men's and women's ice hockey teams got docked 6 points for flying a drone over their opponents' practices. When coaches and administrators make mistakes, it's the players that end up paying the price. Brandon Funston, The Athletic joins to launch the unofficial start to the weekend! He tells us what the new super flex rule does to leagues and why it makes quarterbacks the most important players. Plus, what does he look for in a keeper?

Plus, he breaks down the new kickoff rules, as that's where he's most likely to contribute. There's a crowded wide receivers room this season and special teams will help sort out who makes the roster. The Mariners have played some pretty poor defensive teams this season and have taken advantage of it. We take a listen to what Jerry Dipoto had to say yesterday regarding the trade deadline, the moves they made, as well as Julio and JP's health. Ian applauds what they did at the deadline. What are your favorite moves the Mariners made at the deadline? The Olympics are underway and we discuss the best parts of the games. It takes a special love of the game to compete on that level, for the most part, when not being highly compensated. Gregg Bell pops by to tell us what he's seeing in the Seahawks 't-shirt' practice we're watching. Mike Macdonald gave a rundown on training camp so far as the team approaches preseason.

He gives us an evaluation of Geno Smith this season so far, as well as why he thinks he looks so comfortable right now.
We're hearing a lot more from Marshawn Lynch these days than we ever did during his playing days. Ian misses the air of mystery that used to surround him. It's not fair to compare Sam Howell to Geno Smith, mostly because the offense is built around Geno.
Following the Ty France move, we dive into some potential scenarios at first base for the Mariners the rest of this season. With just over a day to go for the trade deadline, what moved should we expect?
Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian as we JUST learned the Mariners have made another move in trading for Justin Turner. What are our reasonable expectations for Turner when he joins the team? Why are the Blue Jays dealing with the Mariners so much?
Mollywhop Continues! The Mariners haven't moved any headliners in their most recent deals - is a blockbuster on the horizon? Randy Arozarena certainly has the potential to be an impact player, but the guys want to see it on the field. Finally, who are the untouchables?
Ian Rapoport, NFL Network joins Ian for a live sit down at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. He wasn't surprised Mike Macdonald got a head coaching job and gives his thoughts on the end of the Pete Carroll era. Macdonald inherited a very talented roster as well.

Kenny McIntosh, Seahawks RB sits down with Ian to talk about his comeback from injury, what Ryan Grubb brings and where he sees himself on the field this season. Some trickery might be in play with this offense. Was the Angels' sweep of the Mariners the best thing to happen to them?

We hear from Mark Tomkin who told Gregg Bell all about him earlier today. The Seahawks reacquired Marquis Blair, who embodies the type of player with whom Seattle wants to set the tone. Emergency MollyWhop! The Mariners made a move! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to talk about the acquisition of Randy Arozarena. All signs point to positivity right now, which is a new tone for this segment. Despite his slow start to this season, he's proven himself late in seasons. Nate and Chris are both thrilled right now. Brian Nemhauser, HawkBlogger sits down with Ian to talk about what he's seeing under Mike Macdonald, what resigning Marquis Blair tells him and the ceiling for this team. Brian stays around to tell us what he sees the defense looks like under Macdonald, as well as one standout player who might be flying under the radar. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe joins Ian to talk about everything from Seahawks training camp to the Mariners latest moves. He also gives his take on what it looks like for Washington in the Big 10 this year. Given the choice, Danny would choose the Pac-12.

Furness Show 7-25: Laken Tomlinson, Hugh Millen, Corbin Smith. Jul 25, 2024

Laken Tomlinson, Seahawks G sits down with Ian to talk about joining the Seahawks and what it'll be like to have Seattle energy on his side, as opposed to what he's experienced at Lumen Field so far.

Hugh Millen is live out here at Seahawks training camp and tells us the differences he's seeing so far under Mike Macdonald. The atmosphere isn't that different from an observer perspective, but he's extremely impressed with the new defensive scheme he's seeing - and that's what Hugh sees as the biggest change. Finally, his take on what the Mariners need to do right now.
The difference between the Seahawks and the Mariners is that there is no complacency out here at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Nathan Bishop sent us some stats regarding Julio Rodriguez and Jesse Winker - and it makes us want to tear out our hair. The offense continues to be dismal and great pitching is still being wasted. What can we reasonably expect at the trade deadline? Ian wants to see them actually take a shot for once. The new kickoff rules are creating quite a lot of secrecy as we kick things off. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald spoke after practice yesterday and we take a listen to what he had to say at the beginning of his first Seattle training camp. Abe Lucas is still out Can what happens in the next five games change the future of the Mariners organization? Ian sees this next week is the most pivotal in franchise history? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins Ian out at camp and it extremely impressed with Geno Smith's arm talent, and has been from the start. That was never in question, and he's clearly matured since his days in New York. From a comfort level, Corbin gives him 10/10. It also helps that he gets his entire receiving core back, which is extremely deep. Corbin gives Jake Bobo a 95% chance of making the roster and the guys discuss who might be on outside looking in. Of all the positions where we will see moves - whether it be through cuts or trades - corner will have the most talented players part ways.

Furness Show 7-24: Dre'Mont Jones, Seahawks Training Camp, Gregg Bell, Stewart Mandel. Jul 24, 2024

Dre'Mont Jones, Seahawks DE joins Ian live to discuss the changes in the coaching staff, his versatility, and what he expects to accomplish this season. Ian jinxed the Mariners last night. However, the results of the game are just a microcosm of the team right now. Implosion showed up in the midst of a bad slump. Polanco had a chance to change the narrative but didn't come through. Are they at rock bottom, while being in first place? What do you want to know about the Seahawks in advance of this season? We are live at Seahawks training camp and Ian gives his observations. What does Sam Howell look like and how could we compare him to Michael Penix Jr.? We take training camp questions from listeners. Gregg Bell joins Ian to discuss what he's seeing on the first day of training camp and shares some of his observations from the first day we're seeing the team on the field together.

Plus, are rivalries still going to exist?

Furness Show 7-23: Mariners, Joe Sheehan and Andrew Marchand Jul 23, 2024

Last night was a heartbreaker for the Mariners, and it seems as though Scott Servais is losing the guys he could lean on, the most recent being Ty France. We hear from Scott Servais' postgame last night, and the tension is palpable. Ian took a gander at social media last night and wants to know why people are so angry at the Mariners - not because they don't deserve to be - but he truly wants to know what the fans are truly passionate about right now. Anders, Jess and Ian share their thoughts on what's making them angry with the Mariners right now. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins to break down exactly what's going on with the Mariners, specifically to react to what Scott Servais had to say last night. Joe is surprised they parted ways with Ty France, who was third on the team in OBP. Ian thinks France is a scapegoat for all that's going wrong. What can the team do right now? Mariners fans are releasing their frustration on our airwaves, and we let them run with it.

Furness Show 4-8: Caitlyn Clark's Greatness, Molly Whop Monday, Daily Power Play. Apr 08, 2024

We're not overly worried about certain players but the team should understand how people feel. Zach Edey and Caitlin Clark have had their greatness questioned. Ian marvels at the commitment both made to their schools and looking ahead to what they might do in the future shouldn't change the way we look at their success while in college.

We switch gears over to the offensive line and listen to Hugh Millen's 'state of the offensive line', which he describes at this point as a state of crisis.

Furness Show 4-4: Mariners struggles, Chris Crawford, Greg Cosell and Stewart Mandell Apr 04, 2024

Ian is curious to see what the Seahawks do in this year's draft without Pete Carroll. We echo Chuck's sentiments this morning, that Seattle is chasing the next Michael Bennett - someone who could play anywhere on the defensive line. We pay tribute to Matt Thomas, the Seahawk former salary cap guru, who leaves the team after 11 years. The Mariners had a rough go of it yesterday and we take a listen to what Scott Servais had to say about it. Despite it being early, they are showing trends. Chris Crawford of My Oh Why and Rotoworld joins to give us quite a frank take on the Mariners start, with yesterday being one of the worst efforts he's seen since the John McLaren days. Outside of the lack of talent on defense, we're also seeing a lack of effort. It's understandable why fans are mad. The A's will be playing in Sacramento for the next three seasons and Ian blames ownership. It's sad to see them move. Greg Cosell, NFL Films joins as we inch closer and closer to the NFL Draft. He takes us through the interior defensive linemen available in the draft, a need the Seahawks absolutely need to address. Stewart Mandel, The Athletic joins us to break down the idea of an 80-team college league, which sounds more likely to happen than we've seen in the past. Sure, there will be resistance, so where would that come from? Ian breaks down what this could look like. Ian takes issue with the way the transfer portal operates right now, and it makes him an even bigger Caitlin Clark fan.

Furness Show 4-3: Hugh Millen, Steve Palazzolo, Mariners and WSU Hoops Apr 03, 2024

The Mariners finished their 6th game of the season last night and already we're seeing red flags. Poor defense and lack of contact are already arising. Hugh Millen joins us to discuss just how big football has become, as we basically get it all year round. What improvements could we expect on the offensive line in the draft, as well as with the maturation of younger players? Plus, what can a good O-line coach do for the next generation in the trenches? How good could Oluwatimi be this season? Hugh stays with us to dive into the guard available in the draft and where the Seahawks would be most likely to fill those positions. Ian reacts to Hugh's thoughts on the Seahawks offensive line and how much stronger they have the potential to be this season. They certainly need a left guard this year and that needs to be a priority. Steve Palazzolo, Pro Football Focus stops by to give a quick reaction to the Mariners bad start today, being a former Mariner himself. Getting back to football, Steve tells us what he thinks of the Seahawks' O-line this year, what they're likely to do in the draft to fill those positions and the type of players he expects Seattle to covet. The Mariners are having a rough go of it today. Ian points out that the lines we're seeing on the ice for the Kraken right now show us that Dave Hakstol is not making the call. Ron Francis wants to see what the future holds. Washington State has a new head basketball coach in David Riley and he's looking like a phenomenal hire. Ian is surprised Angel Reese declared for the draft and wonders if the popularity we saw in women's basketball is sustainable.

Furness Show 4-2: Mariners, The Caitlyn Clark Effect, Alyssa Charlston, Gary Parrish. Apr 02, 2024

The LSU vs. Iowa game in the WNCAA tournament showed how strong the star power is right now in Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The Mariners got a solid win last night and tonight we have a pretty amazing pitching matchup to look forward to. Scott Servais got defensive with a reporter last night and it was a tad early for that. The Kraken got lost in the mix, but a really great win. Kim Mulkey had some great comments last night regarding Caitlin Clark - Ian revisits them while exploring the sustainability of the popularity we're seeing right now. The Seahawks make a signing in former Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. We dive into a conversation about what the Seahawks will do at QB this year and why everyone is so high on Penix being here. Alyssa Charleston, FOX 13 gives some reaction to Scott Servais' defensive attitude toward Aaron Levine last night, and in her opinion it shows a potential lack of confidence. What is it about Caitlin Clark that makes her so special? Alyssa says it's her court vision and it's apparent that she watches a TON of film. Is the popularity of women's popularity sustainable? Alyssa gives us her take, as well as who the next big phenom could be. The NIL highest earners have Caitlin Clark at number four with $3.1, which is interesting that she'd effectively take a pay cut going to the WNBA. NIL does have a lot of benefits, but when you're 18-22 years old, it could have some detrimental effects. The Daily Power Play! More of the future was on display last night for the Kraken and it provides some optimism for the future. Gary Parrish, CBS Sports joins Ian to give an inside look at what we should watch for in the Final Four, as well as the Championship. DJ Burns and NC State prove that Cinderella exists, but it's likely we will see two number ones in the finals. The best part about this time of year is that anything is possible.

We tape a deep dive into what Michael Penix Jr. has to offer the Seahawks, should he be available. Greg says he's a special kid and an intriguing prospect. One of his biggest notes is that he's accountable to the system he's in, no matter where it may be. Seattle teams are not offensively charged across all of the sports. We are surprised by some of the news coming out today and doing double takes considering it's April Fool's Day. Plus, some interesting news regarding college basketball coaching changes.

Ian cares about the storylines of spring training, but the games? Not so much. The wide receivers, running backs and starting quarterback are all locked up for Seattle.

Furness H2: Bobby Casper, Talkbacks and Texts, Softy Jun 16, 2023

Bobby Casper, Real Golf Radio says round 2 of the US Open is looking to be a bit more difficult for the golfers today and the days to come will likely get more difficult.

Furness H1: Matt Chazanow, David James, Daily Power Play Jun 16, 2023

The landscape of college sports continues to change and Ian isn't a fan of seeing change. He'd like it to remain where it is right now with 10 teams. If San Diego State comes to the conference, does it move the meter? Matt Chazanow, Voice of the Cougars says it's a no brainer for San Diego State to join the Pac-12, especially considering what they've done in basketball of late. He says it simply fits. Should Pac-12 fans be concerned? Chazanow says there's a lot of precedent set in the past when it comes to conference realignment. He still thinks there's a lot of juice in the Pacific NW and doesn't see things change in that sense. When it comes to Washington State, he's extremely happy that Kirk Schulz is the President, specifically because he understands the landscape and is extremely proactive. David James, KUTV and The Zone says SDSU's intention to leave the Mountain West while applying for an extension shows that the Pac-12 media deal isn't going to happen in June. Everything is about money and that will dictate what happens moving forward. The Daily Power Play Wenatchee is getting a minor league hockey team!
