6AM- We are just three days away from Seahawks/49ers round 3 at Lumen Field. The coaching battle remains at the forefront of the conversation after Mike MacDonald’s defense shut down Kyle Shanahan’s offense last time, so how will both coaches game plan for this playoff matchup? :30- Mike Tomlin announced he is stepping down as head coach of the Steelers after 19 years. With Tomlin’s decision, the AFC North is now without John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, two staples in the division and in the NFL, but with Pittsburgh stuck in mediocrity, sometimes you have to break it all down to build it back up and this might be the perfect time for them to do that. :45- We can’t forget about offseason baseball! Kyle Tucker has a big (money) decision to make and no, he won’t be coming to Seattle… and no, the Mariners would never have offered him $50 million a year.
