Bump and Stacy

Stacy and Curtis Rogers meet Brandon Gustafson of Seattle Sports to find out why the Kansas City Royals are getting more free agents than the Mariners, and for Four Down Territory they look at one specific advantage one team has in the upcoming Hawks vs. Eagles matchup and at how Brandon Staley's firing shows the Sean McVay effect doesn't always work. In The Timeline, Marshawn Lynch ambushed Richard Sherman on Thursday to test his loyalty to the Seahawks, and a Wingstop promo for wins by the Detroit Pistons is going disastrously wrong. Finally, is Microsoft Excel a real sport?

For Football Friday: Stacy and Curtis Rogers delve into the issues the culture within the Seahawks is facing and into the mounting frustrations within the organization. In Headline Rewrites, they ask why Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco were fired after the Chargers’ loss and they discuss the recent report of the Red Sox approaching Mariners pitchers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby. In the bottom of the hour, they talk about what kind of team the Seahawks is following this year’s slump, and they examine why free agents don’t want to approach the Mariners.
