Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Everyone loathes them, and yet they're in the AFC Championship for the eighth year in a row. Scott Zolak discusses the Patriots ahead of their game in Kansas City. Why does everyone hate Brady? Why was it so easy to beat the Chargers? Who is hurt the most by the cold in this game? Despite living just down the road from Arrowhead Stadium, Kevin Harlan will be calling the game in New Orleans this weekend. Kevin breaks down both games with us. Looking over the numbers, maybe the best teams in the NFL do run the ball. What is the most satisfying moment of Chris Petersen's era with the Washington Huskies?

Now that the Seahawks are out of the playoffs, how closely are you watching football? Yeah, everyone watches the Super Bowl, and a lot of people watch the conference championships, but what about last weekend? Dick theorizes that we're more provincial in Seattle, and if the Hawks aren't in it, we're less interested. A lot of the eye-rolling this time of year comes from Tom Brady's constant presence. Why do so many people hate him? Is it because of the cheating, the smarmy attitude, or is it simple jealousy? Kaleb McGary is the Morris Trophy winner for Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2018. He talks about his time with the Huskies, what made the team great, and what he expects them to do in the future.

James Harden is getting a lot of credit for his points scored this season, but look at the number of shots he's taking. You can win games this way, but you can't win championships by ding this. It's another edition of Fun with Audio with all the best sound clips from around sports. Textimonials come in at 49451, and Texty reads them on the air.

Lindsey Thiry covers the Rams for ESPN. She updates us on the team ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Saints. Mike Florio discusses all things NFL from last weekend's games, to Russell Wilson's contract, to predictions for championship weekend. In the last six months of 2018, New Jersey spent over a billion dollars on sports betting. Why are we so far behind in this state? Just make it legal already. It's another edition of the slowest-growing game show in America. We play You Don't Know Dick for $50 Zeeks Pizza gift cards. Dave Tippett is back and ready to talk hockey on Tuesdays with Tipp.

Kyler Murray officially declared eligibility for the NFL Draft today, and the speculations runs rampant. Will he go into the NFL as a first-round draft pick, or will he play baseball for the A's. If he's drafted in the first round in the Spring, he has Russell Wilson to thank. Either way, Murray is going to make millions of dollars. The Huskies got a road sweep in the Pac-12 for the first time in six years! They are doing exactly what they couldn't do last season. Will they be able to keep it up? Mel Stottlemyre Sr. passed away at the age of 77 after a long battle with cancer. Jeff Nelson joins the show to remember Stottlemyre, and talk a little Mariners baseball.

It's obvious that Kyler Murray is trying to get the A's to offer him more money to play baseball. It makes perfect sense that he'd try to get as much money as he can, and it'll play a role in what he does, but there's also the injury factor. You're less likely to face a career-ending life-altering injry in baseball, and as Richard Sherman recently pointed out, players don't receive health insurance for the rest of their lives after they play. Should they? Russell Wilson's about get make money, a whole lot of money. CBS Sports salary and contract expert Joel Corry tells us what it's going to cost the Hawks to keep him here, and looks at some of the other pending large contracts Seattle's going to have to negotiate. Textimonials react to the first two hours of the show.

The Chiefs will host a conference championship for the first time in their history. Soren Petro of 810 WHB talks about the success of Patrick Mahomes and company. Softy and Dick look ahead to this weekend's games, and a glimpse at who they think will make the Super Bowl. Dick isn't exactly impressed with Goff. The Dawgs took two in a row on the road against Utah and Colorado. David Crisp talks about what's working for him and for the team this season.

As we start looking ahead to the 2019 season, which side of the ball do you have the most confidence in? It's been the defense for many years, but is that still the case? The Dawgs beat Utah last night. If they don't take the conference, will they even be able to get into the NCAA Tournament? The Pac-12 may only end up sending one team. Dick Fain looks at the numbers and provides insight into this weekend's NFL games.

It's our last chance to talk with Joel Klatt about the 2018 college football season. What do the Huskies need to do to compete with the big boys of college football? There's turmoil in our office as someone keeps messing with our photo wall, and our president isn't having it, but more importantly, did he really refer to his office as the Tunderdome? Textimonials come in at 49451 with which side of the ball they're more comfortable in, and Dick concedes that Tyler Lockett is no longer run-of-the-mill.

Looking at the numbers, it's hard to justify voting for Fred McGriff over Edgar for the Hall of Fame, but it happened. On Fun with Audio, Stephen A. Smith is annoyed by Kliff Kingsbury, The Fonz has positive words for Pete Carroll and Seahawks fans, and Russ and Baldwin sing during the Dallas game. Phil Rogers voted for Edgar for the Hall of Fame, and then whited him out. He attempts to justify his reasoning.
