Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

It's Wednesday, which means Softy and Dick are live from the VMAC as the Hawks get ready to face Arizona this Sunday. We probably won't get much time to focus on it tomorrow but the game tomorrow night between the M's and A's will likely be Felix Hernandez's last start in a Mariner uniform. How will you remember Felix? Softy says the biggest thing that sticks with him is the organization letting him down. Since 2005, he has pitched more games with 2 or fewer runs in run support than any other pitcher, and it's not even close. If we had just had a little more offense, this could have been a playoff-caliber team. On the other hand, just as the offense started heating up, Felix started coling off. Was it simply because his age was catching up with him, or was he not putting the work in to stay on top? We asked the question last weekend, who has the better shot at winning: Hawks or Dawgs? Most people said Hawks.... and we all know how that worked out. So we're asking it again; who can get the victory this weekend, Washington over USC, or the Seahawks over the Cardinals. Luke Willson is back! Chris Carson is determined to get things right after a few fumbles. We check in with both of them on Dick an dDave in the Locker Room. Pete Carroll remains confident in Carson's abilities, and as long as he does, he should keep putting him out there. Let Carson get things right. There's no better opponent to do that against than the 0-2-1 Cardinals in Glendale, which is practically like ahome game with the amount of 12's that show up down there.

Felix put on amazing performance outing after outing in the early and middle of his M's career, but the last few years... Is it just time catching up with him, or has he not been contributing because he hasn't put in the effort? Petros Papadakis looks at last weekend's Pac-12 games, and the upcoming matchup between UW and USC. Textimonials comment on Felix, the Cody Barton of KJR, and the pronunciation of Petros Papadakis.

It was bound to happen at some point; Rick Neuheisel missed on a pick for the first time this season. We talk about the USC vs. Utah game, plus the Cougar blown lead, the upcoming Washington game, and a pick for this weekend as Rick hopes to bounce back. Kevin Harlan digs deep to find the most interesting storylines, even for the two games he had to broadcast last weekend. He discusses said games, plus the Hawks loss, Mahomes, and more. We finally had a chance to see Ziggy Ansah on the field last weekend, and we didn't see much. Maybe you can excuse it as being his first game back, but what about Clowney? After the first half of the Cincinnati game, he hasn't been a major force. It's time to see these guys step up. The Seahawks could really use a corner, so how about Jalen Ramsey? What's the latest on his attempt to flee Jacksonville?

Every Tuesday at 3pm, it's the 20th year of the Husky Honks with Hugh Millen, Dick Baird, and Softy on 950 KJR presented by frost-brewed Coors Light; mountain cold refreshment, made to chill. Also sponsored by Star Rentals, the preferred supplier of the West's best contractors. Dick takes Denver -3 on Fact or Fiction.

Was the WSU loss to a bad UCLA team a fluke, or is there more of this to come? Will they end up losing five, or even six games by the end of the season? Comparing their schedule to the Hawks, who will end up with more losses by the Tuesday after Thanksgiving? Jon Wilner discusses the ultimate Couging it, plus reaction to the Tryon targeting call, the end of the Cal and Ole Miss game, and more. Textimnoials react to the first two hours of the show at 49451.

So what went wrong on Sunday as the Seahawks lost to New Orleans? We go through it with Walter Jones. Mike Florio discusses the Antonio Brown saga's latest developments, Jalen Ramsey being "sick", Belichick's attitude, plus Mike harmonizes with himself. Apparently the Seahawk shave traded Nick Vannett to Pittsburgh. No word yet on what's coming back. Brian Schmetzer talks about his expectations for the last two regular season matches after a loss to DC United.

As we do every Monday during the NFL season, we check in with Pete Carroll who addresses the media on yesterday's disaster of a game. In all of Carroll's tenure in Seattle, this was probably the worst-coached game the team has played. Did getting hit in the face before the game impact his decision-making? Seriously! The Cougars fell apart on Saturday, and Softy says they'll do it again. He takes Utah -5 on Fact or Fiction. There's plenty of blame to go around for the loss to New Orleans, but one of the biggest missteps was the Carson fumble. He's clearly having trouble controlling the ball, and that again comes down to coaching.

Well the Seahawks lost, but we're still doing an Opponent Audio Recap, only this one doesn't focus on the NFL. Let us sit back and enjoy the soothing tones of Beth Mowins' voice as she calls the unbelievable Cougar meltdown that caused them to go from 32 points ahead, to losing by 4. Washington State and Utah both lost this weekend, so who's the most likely to win the conference, and is there still a chance of a Pac-12 team making the playoff? We talk with Joel Klatt about that, the upcoming UW and USC game, and more. Textimonials react to losses from the Hawks and Cougs. It's our new segment, Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down before we go to Monday Night Football with the Bears against Washington.

Which game are you more nervous about this weekend; Seahawks or Huskies? Yeah, Drew Brees is out, and the Seahawks should theoretically win, but is it too early to get cocky? Washington clearly has the talent to run over BYU, but it might not be that easy. We check in with a Husky coach, and a Seahawk that played for UW on Dick and Dave in the Locker Room, with Husky OC Bush Hamdan, and Seahawk tight end Will Dissly. So how are BYU fans feeling about Saturday's game. We get thoughts from the other side with ESPN 960's Ben Criddle.

Earlier this afternoon, the Patriots decided to cut loose Antonio Brown. It's not really a huge surprise after the latest news. Maybe the guy has some serious mental issues and needs to get help. Regardless, it seems pretty clear he needs to step away from football for a little while. Will he ever come back? On Fun with Audio, NFL coaches tired of being asked about their players, including Ron Rivera, and Bill Belichick fed up with Antonio Brown questions. Mike Leach explains who would win in a Pac-12 mascot battle, and Marshawn Lynch shows up at a NASCAR race. Textimonials have thoughts on the Hawks and Dawgs this weekend, Antonio Brown, and more.
