Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Brian Schmetzer makes his weekly visit, well aware that Dick Fain has decided to take a drink every time Brian says "Softy". ...A lot of drinks are taken. Oh yeah, we talk a little Sounders too. So are we signing Arreaga and Joevin Jones? On Fun with Audio,a Major League Baseball is delayed by a swarm of bees. It's the non comp pick deadline. Teams can, at midnight EDT, acquire free agents without risk of comp pick. Tuesdays with Tip is without Dave Tippett today. Instead we talk with NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.

Now that the draft is over, and the Wilson deal is done, it's time to focus on Bobby Wagner. Are the Hawks going to be able to get a deal done with him? Hugh Millen reacts after watching D. K. Metcalf at rookie minicamp. He talks about who else stood out this weekend. We look briefly at Seahawks projections. How many games can the Hawks win this season?

Christian Caple, reporting in the Dawgs for The Athletic, updates us with the latest happenings with the football team, including Jacob Sirmon staying put, Sav'ell Smalls not coming, and thoughts from spring football. Felix is getting blasted in New York right now. Dave and Dick develop a new giveaway entitled Seven Run Itch. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show at 49451.

The controversial end to the Kentucky Derby was a big topic of conversation this weekend f course. Did the stewards make the right call? We reach out to Emerald Downs' Joe Withee for his expert opinion on the results of the derby. A man lost his lunch (literally) dropping his food twice trying to catch balls hit at Oracle Park; he managed to catch one. Is catching a foul ball as big of a deal as it was when you were a kid? Does that feeling ever go away? The NBA Playoffs roll on, and it seems like no one can stop Golden State, except maybe LeBron if he can get a team around him in LA, and that's a pretty big if. Did the way LeBron handled this season hurt his legacy? Longtime voice of the Sonics Kevin Calabro, now calling games for the Blazers, talks with us about Portland's vanquishing of the Thunder, their current series against Denver, and more.

Softy and Dick are live from the VMAC on the first day of rookie minicamp. We have heard about these guys for the last week (the drafted players anyway), now it's time to see what they can do. Of course all eyes are on DK Metcalf who looks impressive thus far. How confident are we in the Hawks outside of receivers and edge rushers? Do the Hawks think they can compete for a championship this year? One amazing stat, this is Pete Carroll's tenth year with the Hawks. In 18 years in total as a head coach he's had an above .55 record 15 times. Combine that with Chris Petersen, and that's 31 out of 35 seasons above .500. We've never seen a coaching tandem like that before in Seattle. Speaking of Pete Carroll, he drops by to talk all things Seahawks, including his thoughts on the new guys at minicamp, Doug Baldwin, and a whole lot more.

It's a big day for all the new players trying to make the Seahawks roster in 2019. How did they look? Hugh Millen drops by for the hour to take a deep dive into the first looks at rookie minicamp.

Dick and Dave continue from the VMAC after Day 1 of rookie minicamp. The coverage of DK Metcalf has kind of overshadowed the Hawks' first-round draft pick, LJ Collier, but he had a chance to spend a few minutes talking with the press today. We roll back the highlights. It's a Friday edition of Fun with Audio, complete with Tom Brady on Kimmel, Zach Gelb exploding on a caller, vintage Calabro, and more. The NBA Playoffs roll on. Can anyone stop the Warriors? If there was a year where it seems possible, it's probably this one. This time of year makes you really miss having a basketball team in this town. Today was our first chance to check out D. K. Metcalf, and obviously one day of practice doesn't tell us much, but he looked great. Check out the size of his Met-calves...

Tomorrow will be our first time we have an opportunity to see D. K. Metcalf, and naturally everyone's pretty pumped because as of right now, it seems like he might have the best chance out o fall of the Hawks' picks to become a superstar, however he's also got the chance to fall well below expectations, much more than LJ Collier who was picked above him. Metcalf is just one of the new players the Hawks have brought in to prop up the receiver corps. How confident are you in the receivers, and the edge rushers at this point without Clark? Softy identifies three guys on the edge, and at least one of them needs to pop. The Pac-12 will move to a 20-game schedule in basketball starting in 2020-2021. We'll see how that impacts their non-conference scheduling. Fans in Denver have gone too far, way too far when heckling Enes Kanter. At some point, it'll be great to see a player stop the game and demand these guys get kicked out. Put them on TV and embarrass them in front of the entire world.

As marijuana slowly becomes legal in more and more places across the country, is it time for the NFL to relax its policy on weed? Perhaps only drug test once or twice a year at most? Any negative effect will ultimately result in the player losing out on money, so the problems that it might cause would solve themselves naturally anyway. What exactly is going on with the Mariners? They started out so strong, and suddenly they're losing almost every game by 10 runs. We get our weekly visit from Bill Krueger who sheds some light on the situation. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

Dick asks, when do you start paying attention to the NBA Playoffs? Of course, a lot of people, obviously still angry about the Sonics, say they never tune in. Ratings in Seattle have been decent though, so people are almost certainly not telling the truth. Ratings would be better though if we still had a team. Gregg Bell of The News Tribune talks all things Seahawks. Brett Norsworthy, doing pre-game and post-game for Mississippi football tells us a little more about D. K. Metcalf. It's time for another round of everyone's favorite game show, You Don't Know Dick!
