Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

A team name has finally been announced! We've been waiting for what feels like years, and now we finally know! No, not the hockey team name, the XFL team, which will henceforth be known as the Seattle Dragons. Yeah, it feels kind of corporate, with no real attachment to Seattle, but does that really matter? If they put a good product on the field, we'll all be huge fans, undoubtedly. Christian Caple posed a possibility few have considered in the ongoing Husky quarterback controversy: Could the Dawgs use two QB's this year? It's possible, but the money is still on Eason, and odds are we aren't going to find out until game time next week. What can be done to increase attendance at Husky games? Traffic is a major issue. Is public transportation part of the answer. Todd Fuhrman of Fox Sports discusses the continued movement to bring legalized gambling to all fifty states... eventually.

Softy caught up with Seahawk defensive tackle Poona Ford today at the VMAC, plus a surprise visit from his conscience. Petros Papadakis didn't make the Wall of Fame in the new USC press box, but somehow manages to carry on, discussing the UW quarterback situation, and the Halloween in August Bowl. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

Rick Neuheisel is back as our football coverage begins ot ramp up at KJR. He'll join us each week to discuss all things Dawgs, Pac-12, and beyond. Kyle Seager has been red hot since late July, but is it enough to convince you he's back, or does it just prove that he can only play with no pressure? Dick checks in with rookie receiver Jazz Ferguson on his first two games with the Hawks. Things aren't looking good for the Niners. Softy predicts a full meltdown by the end of the season. One can only hope. The XFL announced new team names and logos today. Seattle's new team? It's called the Dragons. President of the Dragons Ryan Gustafson talks with us about the team, and how to get tickets.

The Mariners are playing the Rays later this afternoon, and Matt Wisler will open the game on the mound for the M's. Wait, who's Matt Wisler? Didn't we ask this same question a week ago? Turns out he's been pitching for the M's for about six weeks. We just aren't paying enough attention to this team because... let's face it, it doesn't matter this year. They aren't even trying to win games. There might be reason to pay a littl emore attention though. Outfield prospect Jake Fraley is set to make his big league debut, and now we've found out Felix will start against the Blue Jays on Saturday. This seems like kind of an odd move. Why would you put him out there when he's going to be a visiting pitcher in his own house? Why not wait for another series? Baker Mayfield has tried to walk back his comments on Daniel Jones, but the damage is done. It's not a surprise Cleveland has rallied around a guy like him, but it'll be hard not to smile a little when he inevitably throws a pick this season. What is going on in Oakland? JT the Brick is now covering the Raiders, and fills us in on the latest in the never-end Antonio Brown saga.

Auburn has named a true freshamn as their starting quarterback. Oregon is the underdog in this game. Take Oregon and the points all day long. Junior Adams, the Huskies' new Wide Receivers coach checks in with the latest from practice and the recruiting trail. Jon Wilner makes his picks for over-under win totals for each Pac-12 team. Textimonials react to the show at 49451.

Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer discusses last weekend's game, plus a look ahead to Friday's match against the Timbers. It's Peak Gruden on Fun with Audio. Two separate coaches who likely don't run in the same circles have both called the air raid offense "basketball on grass". Jerry Allen says the winner of Oregon vs. Washington will go on to the Final 4. Is there any truth to that or is he just trying to pump up the game?

After a couple of weeks in Europe, Dick Fain is back just in time to cover last night's Seahawks preseason game against the Vikings. There were a few concerning things that we found out yesterday, not the least of which being Metcalf's impending knee surgery, but there were some positives in the game, notably the pass protection, and undrafted Poona Ford who we'll likely see more of this year than we did last year. Would it be a good move for the Hawks to look at Clowney? Dick weighs in after missing his chance last week. Most people think the Hawks will be a 9-7 or 10-6 team, but are they more likely to be better, or worse. There's a lot of unanswered questions on this team that could push them in either direction. Are they more likely to to go 8-8 or 11-5? Chris Petersen says some odd things occasionally, but just like Russell Wilson with his ...quirkiness, we love him anyway. Here's a clip of Coach Petersen claiming he'll never put the offense out there to try to draw the defense offsides.

Will Harris, Huskies secondary coach joins the show discussing the progress of the Dawgs' corners and safeties. The Dawgs have been crushing it in recruiting as of late. We get the latest on the search for future players from Dawgman's Scott Eklund. Textimonials react to the show at 49451.

The conversation out of Houston continues with Clowney still not reporting. Should the Hawks snag him, and could he make the difference, even if it was just this year? The News Tribune's Gregg Bell with news and notes on all things Hawks, including the latest on the D.K. Metcalf injury and more. Good news for Hawks fans as Garoppolo looked terrible to start the preseason game, and the Elliott battle with the Cowboys continues. That could be two teams the Hawks don't have to worry about right there. Dick Baird shares his latest thoughts on the Dawgs with college football season drawing ever closer.

Things appear to be going south for the Houston Texans and Jadeveon Clowney. Would it be worth it for the Hawks to give up a first round pick for him. Yes, they just traded Clark away, but they got two picks in return for him. This makes the entire deal worth it. We'd still have a high-calibur pass rusher and we've picked up some picks? Husky great Greg Lewis looks at this year's Washington running back room. Results are mixed on the poll asking about giving up a first-round pick for Clowney.
