Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Russell Wilson, along with Macklemore and other s have joined the Sounders ownership team. Brian Schmetzer talks about having Wilson as an owner could benefit the guys on the pitch. Beth Mowins is back on Fun with Audio, plus Peter King getting pulled over while on with Dan Patrick and more. Golden Tate is the latest to get busted for performance enhancing substances. He claims it was prescribed fertility treatment. Why don't these guys take every drug they're given to the training staff and ask "can I take this?" Are we still having the Luck vs. Wilson discussion? It seems like this has been put to bed by now. What about Russ vs. Griffey? Who is the bigger Seattle sports star?

With Dick Fain still on vacation, the AP's Tim Booth joins Soffty as a guest host for today. We haven't had a chance to see much from rookie receiver Gary Jennings, but finally he had a solid day. Is there a guarantee that a fourth-rounder makes the roster? There's certainly a spot for the young receivers on this roster. Have we seen enough out of D. K. Metcalf to convince us that he's deserving of the hype he's been getting? Switching gears to UW football, defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe joins us to talk about how his position group has been developing.

The Mariners honored Edgar Martinez over the weekend, and despite everyone's love for Gar, many have had enough of the team reminiscing about the glory days, but what do you want them to do? There isn't much to celebrate right now, and there hasn't been much to celebrate for almost two dedcades. Maybe this rebuild will turn things around, but we're obviously not there yet. Lenny Wilkens is going to get a street named after him near the new arena, and that's gotten people upset too, but Lenny has earned the honor, and right now there's know better place to honor him. Yes, maybe someday the Sonics will be back, and we'll have a proper place for a tribute, but we're not in that position right now. Cassius Marsh has made his return to the Seahawks this season. Softy talks with him about what has changed in his absence. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show at 49451.

Jon Wilner released his pre-season poll and as one might expect, it's ruffled a few feathers. He has Utah ranked 6th, presumably winning the Pac-12. Washington was ranked number 19, 4th in the Pac-12. Hugh Millen just spent 53 minutes breaking down what happened in the first half of the Rose Bowl. He discusses the analysis, plus the latest on Jacob Eason, and should the Metcalf hype train slow down a bit? Cody Barton was on with the midday show earlier today. Is he coming for someone's job as a starter? Dick Baird has spent a ton of time checking out the Dawgs' practices. He talks about what's improving, and what still needs work.

Softy is Freezin' for a Reason to raise money for Protect Our West at Jackson's in Lynnwood in conjunction with our sponsor Coors Light joined by Terry Hollimon. We spend much of the first hour recapping last night's Hawks preseason game. There's a lot to like about this team, and one of the bright spots is Marquise Blair, putting the boom back in the Legion of Boom. Metcalf looked alright. Will this be the year that it all comes together for Shaquill Griffin? Antonio Brown is refusing to wear his new Raiders helmet citing having difficulties seeing. He says if they don't let him wear his old helmet, he may never play again.

Softy steps aside as Terry Hollimon, Eric Battle, Lawyer Milloy, and Leon Neal all step into the cooler at Jackson's in Lynnwood to talk some Husky football. Hawkblogger's Brian Nemhauser joins the show to share his takeaways in last night's game. It's an Ask Terry edition of Textimonials at 49451.

Doug Baldwin spoke on First Take, really the first time since retirement. On just how good Russ is as a QB, Baldwin sad he's great now but has untapped potential, and in a few years could be ranked even higher. All of the best sound bytes from around the world of Sports on Fun with Audio every Tuesday and Friday at 5:20. It's Softy's birthday this weekend, plus the story of Softy quitting football. We announce the winners of the Yeti cooler, the M's tickets, and the Apple Cup tickets with all money going to support Protect Our West.

We've made it! Seahawks preseason football begins tonight. We're here at Jimmy's on First joined by Hugh Millen. The defense on this 2019 Hawks team is a bit of a question mark, but Pete Carroll always seems to find a way to get the most out of the defensive side of the ball. We've been living in the Era of Defense here in Seattle with the Hawks and Huskies. It looks as thought it will continue for UW, will it continue for the Hawks? Kelly Bryant didn't get a ring even though he played four games for Clemson. Should he get one? Hugh says the running back room is greatly improved for the Hawks this year.

We continue to go in-depth with Hugh Millen looking at the running backs on this Hawk team. The offensive line is a bright spot on this team. How many times in recent years have we been able to say that? They might actually be better than the D-line. Gregg Bell from The News Tribune talks Seahawks news.

It's almost time for kickoff in the preseason game between the Seahawks and Broncos. Our last hour from Jimmy's is jam-packed with guests giving you all of the news and insight before the game that you could possibly need. Starting off with the insider for the Bronco's at Denver's KOA, Brandon Krisztal, with first impressions of Drew Lock and more. Mike Holmgren makes his triumphant return to the show discussing Russ' absense tonight, plus expectations of D. K. Metcalf, and the search for a pass rush. Softy checks in with tight end Nick Vannett. Former Hawk and midday show co-host Cliff Avril shares his final thoughts before the game gets underway.
