Headlines and GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Is there any truth to the DeMarcus Lawrence retirement rumors? - The players answered a survey about their organizations and the results leaked out. The Steelers were last and the Seahawks came in 4th out of 32. - Did the survey elicit a red flag for the potential new owners? - What else did he learn in Indy and what are the offseason concerns for this team? :30- What Chuck learned at Spring Training part 7: This team should have a comfortable season, meaning no hair-pulling moments or massive losing streaks, but there are some concerns with this defense… We explore the concerns- are JP Crawford and Cole Young the answer at shortstop and 2nd base? Brendan Donovan becoming an every day 3rd baseman; how concerned should we be there? We never know what we are going to get from Arozarena in left field. The only positions that feel like sure-things defensively are catcher, center and first… :45- NFL News & Notes: - The Cowboys really love pissing off their players as once again they’re using the franchise tag, this time on George Pickens - The Indianapolis Colts have allowed Anthony Richardson to seek a trade, boy did they screw that up!

DeMarcus Lawrence is rumored to be considering retirement and that would be a huge loss for the Seahawks. The Lawrence discussion does bring to light just how difficult it is to repeat as Super Bowl champions as the Seahawks already have 6 free agents of significance to try and re-sign and if you add in having to replace Lawrence, things get even tougher. :30- ICYMI: Cal Raleigh We caught up with everyone’s favorite catcher last week in Peoria and we replay a portion of that conversation to hear how his pitching staff is looking and how he anticipates using the challenge system. :45- We’re getting Reckless at breakfast and this time we’re heading to Las Vegas to look at the possibility that the Raiders might be looking elsewhere with the number 1 pick.

It’s time to get Reckless at Breakfast and today, we need more time for today’s topic. There are a couple of trigger phrases in the NBA, tanking and load management are the two big ones. Tanking has to go and everything should be done to get rid of it, but let’s leave load management alone! :30- ICYMI Kevin Seitzer We caught up with the Mariners hitting coach in Peoria last week and got his thoughts on Cal Raleigh, tinkering, Josh Naylor and first impressions of newcomer Brendan Donovan. :45- We close out the Thursday show with one last thing!

JERRY PALM (PalmBrackets.com) The college basketball season is winding down and we finally have some time to focus on it with less than a week left in the regular season, so it’s time for our annual chat with Jerry. He’s a Purdue Boilermaker, so we have to start with his thoughts on rival Indiana suddenly being a football school. Is CBB feeling very top-heavy this year? Looking at the potential March Madness brackets, is there any seed lower than a 3 that would have a chance to win it all? How impressive is this freshman class? And Remember the days when college basketball players stayed for 3 or 4 years? Sigh… How are the Zags looking heading into March and what will that loss at Portland cost them? Who are some sleepers we should keep our eye on? :30- IAN FURNESS joins the show on the heels of the Kraken’s first game back after the Olympic break, a 4-1 loss in Dallas. Last night’s game was a dud, but it wasn’t surprising to Ian, so he’s not worried. Now, if the same thing happens tonight against a bad Blues team, then we might have a problem. The Kraken have been streaky all season long, is Ian worried about that continuing? When this team is cooking; what are the things they’re doing well? :45- The Seahawks have the 32nd pick in this year’s NFL Draft, but this year seems primed for a John Schneider trade down to add more picks.

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald spoke to the media yesterday, so what did we learn? The post-Super Bowl feeling is surreal and Harbaugh has high praise. How in-sync are Schneider and MacDonald when it comes to free agency and draft picks? How much of a priority is it for the Seahawks to bring Woolen and Josh Jobe back? How many of the Seahawks’ 6 free agents will return? No, the Seahawks have not been invited to the White House and if they do get the invite, they will go. :30- It’s time for What Chuck learned at Spring Training part 6! Cole Young may be starting at 2nd base coming out of spring training, but it is clear that this organization wants to see both Young and Colt Emerson in this lineup at some point this season. None of these young guys will be on the team if they aren’t ready, so they’d have to be showing out to get the call up. If both Emerson and Yong are in this lineup, then who is out? Raley? Canzone? Robles? Refsnyder? :45- Mike MacDonald spoke to the media in Indy yesterday, so we hear from our Seahawks head coach on how life has changed post-Super Bowl and the instant impact of his rookies.

It was a rough night for the Kraken in Dallas… All of our experts have stressed the importance of a good start for the Kraken coming out of the Olympic break and last night’s 4-1 loss to Dallas was anything but good. Tonight they head to St Louis and the Blues are not good- can they right the ship on the road and avoid the streaky play we’ve been seeing all season long? :30- The Pajama Party workouts begin today at noon and we will have our eyes on some key people. If Boye Mafe really is done wearing a Seahawks uniform, we should have our eyes on some possible replacements who are working out today. :45- Yes, the college basketball season is almost over, but for a lot of us it is just beginning.
