On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett debuts his new podcast with Steve Sandmeyer and Matt “Stretch” Johnson called The Sports Pit.  The three worked together at KJR with Sandy and Stretch spending many years on the morning show with Mitch Levy.  The three friends cover everything from Stretch getting a new hip, degenerate gambling, our love for baseball, made up sports debate, love for Climate Pledge, Sonics return, cost of an expansion team, Sandy’s disdain for podcasts and “ball know it alls.”  Puck wraps up the show with “Hey, What the Puck!?” On the eve of the baseball season, Puck says tomorrow is one of the best days in the sports calendar.
