Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Dave and Dick continue live from the MTR Western Sports Star of the Year Awards at the Seattle Grand Sheraton. Kevin Durant is angry at the media yet again. We love him here, but he needs to realize that the media is part of the reason he's successful. Wally Walker shares his thoughts on Durant, LaVar, and the current NBA. Ben Burr-Kirven talks about preparing for the combine, and his expectations for the 2019 Huskies. Chris Hansen talks about the latest efforts to bring the NBA back to Seattle. Lenny Wilkens and Gus Williams reminisce about the 1979 Sonics.

Today was the second signing day of the season, and the Dawgs have picked up a couple of big recruits; Asa Turner and Daniel Heimuli. Dick was concerned when Petersen was hired that he might not be able to pull top West Coast recruits to Washington. It appears at this point that those concerns were unfounded. Coach Petersen himself joins the show to talk about the recruiting class, what was learned from the Rose Bowl, expectations for next season, and more. What can we reasonably expect from Jacob Eason. Some are already putting him in the first round of next year's NFL Draft, and that's not just Dawg fans.

The Falcons have released Matt Bryant. Why? Who knows? It might be worth taking a look at him though. He could be better than Seabass, and who even knows what we'll get with Ficken (aside from endless plays on his name). Petros Papadakis talks about the Rams' offensive egg-laying that LA doesn't care about, Signing Day, and his own experience being recruited, and his role in recruitment to USC. Textimonials to 49451 on Seahawks kicking, Jacob Eason, the M's, and more.

There's been a lot of doubt cast on the Mariners following a series of trades during the off-season, but manager Scott Servais is confident in the team, not only down the road, but even this season as the young guys develop. He explains why this won't be anything like a 55-win team as some fear. The football season has officially come to an end, but voice of the Super Bowl joins us again to reflect on the game, and what to expect come Fall in the NFC West and beyond. It's the second signing day of the year and the guys from Dawgman.com have all the latest.

We've given a lot of praise to Lorenzo Romar on this show, and it's worth noting that five of the top seven scorers on thsi team were recruited by him, but the team has without a doubt improved on defense since Mike Hopkins has taken over. As the men's basketball program continues its upward projection, and the football team came off a season that saw them in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 18 years, it's clear we're living in the Golden Age of UW Athletics, and Jen Cohen deserves credit. Would Antonio Brown be a good pickup for the Hawks, or is the baggage that would come along not worth it? The honest answer is that we're probably better off not taking him. Mike Hopkins discusses last week's two games, his thoughts on the defense, Noah's status for Thursday, and more.

We know it's coming. Anthony Davis is going to get traded, and it's going to be to LA. A team is not going to trade for him that doesn't think they can re-sign him, and the only team that thinks they can is the Lakers. It's the perfect opportunity for Magic to get rid of LaVar... ahem Lonzo Ball anyway. It's the Post Super Bowl Fun with Audio complete with Belichick still playing the underdog, Edelman describing an early encounter with his coach, Wingo angry about fans calling the game boring, and more. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show at 49451.

How did the Pac-12 end up where it is? It'd probably be in a better place if teams like Arizona and UCLA were competitive. Whatever is broken, Larry Scott needs to fix it quickly. It's our last chance to talk with Mike Florio about actual football as he recaps Super Bowl LIII. We play another round of You Don't Know Dick! with $50 Zeeks Pizza gift cards on the line. Dave Tippett talks about possible locations for Seattle's AHL franchise, backyard hockey rinks, safety gear in the NHL and more.

The sentiment seems to be from most people that yesterday's game was boring. How can a game be boring when it's still a battle with a few minutes left? The Dawgs still aren't ranked in the AP Top 25 but it doesn't matter. You don't come to the AP Poll for respect, you earn it by making a run in the tournament. Did the Patriots really put together the greatest defensive performance in Super Bowl history? Bill Barnwell seems to think so, but he's completely forgetting the Seahawks' defensive dominance over the Broncos. Brian Baldinger takes an in-depth look at yesterday's game.

The Dawgs win again over the weekend, now 9-0 in the conference, but still aren't ranked. Who cares about the rankings though. The majority of teams that make the tournament aren't ranked, but are we ready to declare the tournament drought over? We did the same thing with the Mariners last season and we know how that worked out. Hugh Millen breaks down New England's dominant performance on both sides of the ball in yesterday's game. Textimonials, at 49451, weigh in on the first two hours of the show.

With all the money the Rams invested into the defensive line, you'd think they'd be able to at least kind of hold off the Patriots, but clearly that didn't happen. Money well spent. Bill Barnwell says yesterday's game was the greatest Super Bowl defensive performance in history, but the numbers don't show that. We witnessed the greatest defensie performance in 2014 with the Seahawks against the Broncos. Signing Day is on Wednesday and Chris Fetters has the latest on the top players the Dawgs are going after. Mike DeCourcy talks all things Washington basketball. If they go 15-3 in conference and lose in the first round, will it still be enough to get them to the tournament?
