There’s also a throwback story about a terrified 22-year-old Mitch interviewing George Foreman after the 1990 Cooney fight—complete with awkward silence, locker room urine tests, and a mic-shaking case of nerves.
Brady Henderson joins to break down the Seahawks’ offseason strategy—why Will Fries slipped away, how the Geno and DK trades were influenced by locker room concerns, and what to expect from Seattle’s 10 draft picks, including five in the top 92. With wide receiver and O-line needs still looming, is this a reload or a rebuild?
Then it’s the Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle, the trio breaks down Opening Day storylines: Logan Gilbert's pressure as the new No. 1, Emerson Hancock stepping in for George Kirby, Rowdy Tellez’s boom-or-bust upside, and whether Seattle’s quietly dangerous roster can win a suddenly winnable AL West.
Jason Hamilton rounds out the show with thoughts on the Big Ten's brutal travel, the evolution of fan energy, and what’s next for Danny Sprinkle at UW.
