Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

After watching a playoff run that re-ignited the age-old debate over whether he's the best of all time, and then the series against the Warriors where everything suddenly changed, Donald Watts weighs in on LeBron James. On Hey, Did You Hear That?: Cliff Avril comments on the Earl Thomas situation, Charles Barkley says the LeBron story isn't going to hijack his life, LaVar Ball claims he knows LeBron will become a Laker, and more. Dick asks Mariners fans who doubted the team and have come around, and those who still don't believe, and share their thoughts on Textimonials.

Donald Watts comments on the Earl Thomas hold-out situation. Joe Wainhouse, UW power hitter talks about preparing for this weekend's first game in the College World Series. We hear from Pete Carroll who talks about the off-season as minicamp wraps up. Tonight's the first game in a massive four-game series between the Mariners and the Red Sox. We set the lineups and hear from the skipper on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

It was announced today that North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico) will all host the 2026 World Cup together. The year 2026 is still a long way off though. Which will happen first, the North American World Cup, or Seattle getting the NBA back? Teams can move pretty fast. The Pac-12 doesn't seem to be bringing in as much money as the other Power Five conferences. College football is not as likely to bring in fans on the West coast the way it does in the Midwest or the South. Regardless, the fan experience over the last decade hasn't helped. Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh talks to us about how he's changed as a player between this year and hast, how the coaching shakeup has impacted his game, and the ways in which Doug Baldwin has been a mentor. Petros Papadakis weighs in on the addition of even more bowl games, Russell Wilson's alter ego, and Mariners fandom.

We've been told over and over again that the Mariners can't beat good teams, but the M's beat the Angels last night. They're now 16-10 against teams above .500, and they're 18 games above .500 for the first time since 2007. The team's starting rotation has been outstanding.... everyone except Felix that is. He has an ERA of 5 since last August so this isn't just a short-term thing. How long should we give him to turn it around, and what should be done if he can't? We're giving you a chance to win some pretty cool prizes in the Major Golf Challenge. Pick the top golfer from each of the nine categories playing in the US Open and you could win. Softy and Dick make their picks on the air.

Pete Carroll speaks briefly today at minicamp on the Earl Thomas hold-out situation. We roll back the audio. Phil Steele, author of College Football Preview gives us an idea of what he expects out of the Huskies this season. Can they make the playoff? How will they do against Auburn? Textimonials weigh in on what to do about Felix.

Minicamp is underway and the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero was at the VMAC today checking out the Hawks. He joins the show to talk about the team's changes during the off-season, and gives his thoughts on the Earl Thomas hold-out. On today's edition of Hey, Did ou Hear That?: Alex Ovechkin's victory speech, Draymond is still talking about Tristan Thompson, Dennis Rodman sobs over North Korea summit, Gronk claims fake news, Robert Kraft on Gronk trade rumors. Anthony Beyrouti tells us about the red hot Mariners tickets, the demand for Seahawks tickets for the London game, and who is headed to the College World Series. On Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show, we set tonight's lineups and hear from the skipper.

There's a lot going on on this busy Monday, but the biggest story today is the Huskies' baseball team making the College World Series for the first time in program history. Last night's game against CS Fullerton got kind of crazy, but they pulled it off in extra innings. Earl Thomas is holding out, which isn't too surprising, and at this point isn't too impactful. Should the Hawks sign him, trade him, or let him sit out? And is this as big of a deal as when Kam sat out a few years ago? Huskies closer Alex Hardy talks about his team's big win last night, and the first-ever appearance in the College World Series.

Usually fans seem to side with the team during player disputes, but our poll suggests that maybe people are on Earl's side. Softy says if we're going to get rid of him, we should try to trade him now and get what value we can. The M's continue to dominate, going 4-2 on their road trip. Bill Krueger of ROOT Sports talks about it as he does every Monday at 4:20. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

The Sounders desperately needed a win and they finally got one over the weekend. Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer talks about the win and the return of some key players. We play back some We play back the best sound bytes you might have missed on Hey, Did You Hear That? Shohei Ohtani could be sidelined until 2020 if he has to undergo Tommy John surgery. He's obviously got all the tools, but with the injuries, it seems like the Mariners might have dodged a bullet. The M's are back home, beginning a series against the Angels. We get you ready for tonight's game on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

Tonight is Game 4 of the NBA Finals, between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. We were pretty confident that Cleveland would take Game 3 and that obviously didn't happen. Now, we're pretty confident Golden State is going to finish the series tonight. Corey Brock of The Athletic joins us as he does every Friday to discuss the Mariners. Shohei Ohtani has been placed on the DL, which is relevant because the M's play the Angels next week. No one goes around rooting for players to get injured, but let's be honest, we're not exactly disappointed when we don't have to face the other team's top guys. Do you think Angels fans are disappointed they don't have to face Cano? Mariners starting pitcher Mike Leake joins the show to talk about his last few phenomenal starts, the M's pitching staff, and the inspiration behind this year's Mariners magic.
