Mitch Unfiltered is joined by Daniel Timothy O'Neil of the "dang apostrophe" filling in for Hotshot in a Giant discussion about a Seahawks unanticipated loss. Fortunately for Seahawks fans no team in the NFC West is pulling ahead, offering a silver lining as both the 49ers and Rams also suffered losses. Huskies beat Wolverines, do we need to Fisch for compliments here?
Mitch interviews Keith O'Brien, author of the New York Times bestseller "Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose and the Last Glory Days of Baseball". O'Brien discusses Rose's complex legacy, his rise as an iconic baseball player, and the gambling scandal that led to his banishment from the sport. O’Brien shares insights into his 27 hours of interviews with Rose, who later cut off communication, possibly due to the uncomfortable questions about his gambling.
Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to discuss the latest in college football: Cal vs. Miami and Vanderbilt vs. Alabama. Who had a better weekend: Washington's Kalen DeBoer or Arizona's Jed Fisch?
The Seahawks No-Table panel agrees that the game felt like a typical Pete Carroll-era performance where the team seemed to coast and struggle before trying to rally late in the game. Despite nearly tying the game, Seattle found themselves in a hole due to missed opportunities and poor execution, particularly on defense.
