Thursday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett featured his weekly guests: Mike Garafolo, NFL Network and Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic. 

Puck opens up the show the day after Christmas chatting about the Seahawks must win vs. the Chicago Bears on Thursday night and the current mess at Washington State with President Kirk Schulz, the Board of Regents and former coach Jake Dickert. 

John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com reports that Schulz was ordered by the board of regents to give $2 and perhaps $4 million dollars to the football program after they started 7-1, but Schulz withheld that information for WSU AD Anne McCoy and nobody can figure out why?

18:43 - Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show to talk about the Seahawks must win game vs. the Bears on Thursday night. They also discuss the coaching future of Pete Carroll in the NFL, are the Bears in play?  Are we headed to a breakup with Ryan Grubb and Mike Macdonald? Netflix Christmas game thoughts. Kansas City peaking at the right time. Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson for MVP?

50:21 - Dugar Report with Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic….The Seahawks put themselves into this spot that it’s a must win against Chicago.  Geno Smith and Mike Macdonald have developed a strong relationship, something to keep an eye on on, according to Michael-Shawn when they head to the offseason and discuss the future of Geno. Mike tries to answer what is going on with Riq Woolen.  What are the playoff scenarios for the Seahawks as they head into their matchup against Chicago and the help they need from the Arizona Cardinals.  Does Mike like the idea of Pete Carroll returning to the NFL and perhaps doing so in Chicago?

1:17:15 - “Hey, What the Puck?!” If WSU President Kirk Schulz withheld money directed to the football program from his athletic director than Schulz needs to be removed from office immediately.
