Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Jalen Ramsey, third year corner for the Jaguars gave an interview to GQ where he basically evaluated every quarterback in the league, most notably completely tearing apart Josh Allen, calling him trash. Why would he do this knowing the only thing this will do is become bulletin board material for his opponents all season long. It looks like the league might have a new outspoken corner that can out-trash talk Sherman. Mike Holmgren spent the day out at the VMAC today. He shares his first impressions of this year's team. Keith Gilbertson's taken a look at the Huskies and tells us his biggest question marks for the team heading into the season.

Tony Softli joins Softy for a second day. The air quality is awful. Blame Canada! The M's continue to have pitching problems, and despite a comeback last night, couldn't get it done. There's a very real chance the team wins 93 games and still misses the playoffs. Is there any way to classify this as a success? Tony Softli talks about his impressions of Tod Leiweke ahead of our first installment of Tuesdays with Tod. Robinson Cano is back! He'll be playing first base tonight. We all expect to hear him dodge responsibility and talk about how all of this was a mistake, but can you really classify this as a mistake? We go In House with Jason Puckett to discuss the return of Robbie Cano.

Tony Softli looks at the biggest position battles underway for the Seahawks right now. Who are we likely to see emerge in the regular season?

Tony Softli walks us through what we can expect from this weekend's second pre-season game against the Chargers. The Mariners continue their series against Oakland tonight, and these next to games are critical. Lose them both and you're 4 1/2 games out, a far cry from 11 games up just a little over a month ago. It appears that Brandon Kaho might not have been academically eligible to play at Washington, and Coach Pete might have been covering for him by letting him go without embarrassing him publicly. If true, that earns Chris Petersen even more respect. Tod Leiweke, President and CEO of the proposed new hockey team in Seattle joins us as he will every Tuesday at 6:20 for a segment we're creatively calling Tuesdays with Tod. We talk about all things hockey in Seattle, the new arena, practice facilities, the potential for an NBA return, and more.

Dick Fain is on vacation, so Tony Softli has stepped in early this week. We were ready to write the M's off last week, at least for the division, but they just went into Houston and swept them, and Edwin Diaz got the save in all four games, the first pitcher to do that in over a decade.Could Sugar be on his way to being a top Cy Young contender? We get Tony Softli's takes on the first pre-season Hawks game. Is there any chance we see anything out of C.J. Prosise? He's missed so many games, and Tony believes it is likely a toughness issue. Ian Furness joins us In House to give his thoughts on Edwin Diaz and C.J. Prosise.

The Huskies take on the Auburn Tigers in just 19 days in Atlanta. There are a lot of questions still yet to be answered about this team, but this Auburn game is about as big of a test as the Dawgs can get this early in the season. Bill Krueger's Monday visit to the show is upbeat after the M's sweep Houston. We talk about Edwin Diaz saving four in a row, the team's starting pitching, and how Cano will fit into the lineup with his return just one day away. We take your texts at 49451, and have a robot read them back on air on Textimonials.

Huskies defensive line coach Ikaika Malloe joins us to discuss his team's D-Line development as the season approaches. Former UW fullback Darius Turner talks about Coach Petersen's recruiting in Northern California, and whether the 1991 Huskies could beat the 2018 Huskies head-to-head. Tiger might be back, for real this time... maybe.

We're on location today at Daniel's Broiler on Bellevue to help kick off Lenny Wilkens Foundation's Celebrity Weekend to benefit the Odessa Brown Clinic. Dick is on vacation, but Donald Watts joins Softy for today's show. We knew it would probably happen at some point given his recent performance, but it's still kind of a sad day as the Mariners have moved Felix Hernandez to the bullpen. Some fans have ben quick to criticize him based on his play this year, but let's not forget what he's meant to this organization for over a decade. Hopefully he can re-gain his glory and return to the starting rotation. The Seahawks played their first pre-season game last night. It gave us our first opportunity to see some of the new guys in action. Softy and Donald talk about what they liked and didn't like from the team last night.

With football returning, the anthem protest controversy returns as well. Several players opted to not come to of the tunnel last night, and the president made a point of responding to the protests yet again. Donald Watts responds to the idea that players should find another way to protest, and shares personal experiences of his own which shed more like on why so many players feel compelled to stand up. Jordan Miller joins us from UW practice. He talks about recovering from injury, preparing for a big opponent, and trying to keep the legacy of those that came before him alive.
