Episode 356 - Mitch the Mobster

RUNDOWN

 

Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.’s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto’s collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it’s all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline.

Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle’s 38–14 primetime rout of Washington — a game where both sides of the ball finally clicked. They discuss Sam Darnold’s near-perfect night (one of only four 97+ QBRs in the NFL this season — three belonging to him), Mike Macdonald’s astounding 11–1 road record, and the play-calling brilliance driving the offense.

Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down a wild week in college football — from the bloated buyouts fueling a $160 million coaching carousel to Washington’s unlikely playoff path. The two dive into quarterback drama, “alma mater alimony,” and the rise of dual-threat sensation Demond Williams, before wrapping with Taco Time’s weekly honors — including a nod to Oklahoma’s kicker and his unforgettable Daisy Duke game-day look.
Christian Caple joins Mitch to assess the Huskies’ 6–2 season and the playoff math that could still put Washington in the 12-team field if they run the table. He breaks down the defense’s ability to hang with Oregon, the tricky stretch at UCLA, and how Jed Fish’s success could make him a hot-commodity coach with a star quarterback in tow.
