Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

A couple years ago, the Dawgs had an incredibly weak out-of-conference schedule, and they got blasted for it. This year, they're starting off by taking on a great team in arguably the best conference in college football. Meanwhile schools like Alabama are facing mostly pushovers outside of their conference. The Dawgs deserve some credit. Pete Carroll talks to the media today and we of course play back some of the audio for you. Hugh Millen talks about what Tedric Thompson needs to do to get the free safety position locked up. Husky Offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan joins us to talk about what he's seen in the first week of Husky camp, what he learned in his year in Atlanta that can help the team, and a look ahead to the Auburn game. In our final minute. Hugh talks about what he thinks Hamdan gained from his short time in Atlanta.

Mariners win yesterday, but they lost the rest of the Blue Jays series. They're now 2.5 games behind the Athletics, and the A's just won't stop winning. If the A's were even just playing .600 baseball over the last six weeks, we probably wouldn't even notice the dip in the M's' performance. So is all hope lost? No. Oakland is still probably going to slow down, and the M's can just as easily find themselves again, but it's been frustrating to watch in the mean time. Blue Jays took over the city this weekend, and earlier today, Ian Furness claimed it was hypocritical for Seattle fans to be upset since we do the same thing to other cities during Seahawks games. This makes no sense. You should be doing whatever you can to help your team. Of course we're going to be upset that the opponent's fans are turning a home game into a road game. You can't blame Jays fans, but we need to do something to take back our stadium on these Toronto weekends each season. Tony Softli joins us for In House to talk about what he saw from Saturday's scrimmage, and what we should expect from this Thursday's first pre-season game.

We've already talked about the national media's dismissal of the Seahawks this season, and the trend continues. They're being given 75-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, substantially lower than the Giants, Colts, and Lions, among other teams you'd expect to see toward the bottom of the list. Even the lowly Browns are only given slightly worse odds at 80-to-1. Are the Seahawks really going to be that bad, or are we just blinded by our fandom. Bill Krueger joins us to discuss the Mariners; how to handle the Blue Jay fan problem, where to put Cano, and more. Textimonials weigh in on the M's struggles and the Seahawks.

The Sounders get another huge victory over the weekend. Head coach Brian Schmetzer joins us to discuss the come-from-behind win and everything Sounders FC. Hey, Did You Hear That? with audio from T.O., Marco Gonzales, Mike Leach, and more. Dick Fain talks to wide receiver David Moore at the VMAC today. The Huskies have released Ale Kaho. Christian Caple explains the situation, and gives us his impressions from the first few days of Husky camp.

Softy and Hugh Millen break down everything surrounding the Seahawks through the first 2 weeks of training camp from Offensive Line issues, questions about Wide Receivers, and contract questions/issues for Earl Thomas (and others!).

Softy and Hugh continue live from the VMAC before the Seahawks have their first live practice. Conversations in this hour surround the question of if the O-Line has actually improved or not. Ian Furness joins the show in the second segment. Lastly, a brief conversation about the Ohio State/Urban Meyer story.

We're live from Jimmy's on First preparing for Game 2 of the M's' series against the Blue Jays tonight as the team hopefully gets a win; it'd help if the A's get a loss at the same time. After last night's loss, the A's pull ahead of the M's, marking the first time since Mid May that they aren't in control of a playoff spot. One bright spot... kind of, is Felix Hernandez. No, he didn't look like the ace he once was, but it's an improvement. Jerry Dipoto, Mariners GM joins us live at Jimmy's. He shares with us his very honest opinions about the team, how they've performed recently, and what needs to be done to improve. We go In House as we do every day at 3:45. Today, we're joined by Terry Blount who discusses the Hawks, the M's' woes, and all things Seattle sports.

Jerry Dipoto, as he often is, was very open and honest about his thoughts on the M's as they stand right now. We dissect the conversation. Softy catches up with offensive line coach Mike Solari out at the VMAC. Try to count how many football cliches he uses. The Athletic's Corey Brock breaks down the M's performance as they continue their series against the Blue Jays and hopefully regain the wildcard position. Things aren't looking any better at Ohio State as Zach Smith appears to be trying to take people down with him. He claims he never hit his wife, but texts released today clearly suggest something happened. Textimonials evaluate their optimism for the M's going forward.

The Mariners made a bunch of trades just before the deadline, and one of the acquisitions was reliever Adam Warren. He joins us to discuss joining the team, and his experience with Robinson Cano. All the best audio from around sports on Hey, Did You Hear That?, including Stephen A. Smith on the first preseason game, and Mike Leach's new idea. The Canadians have overrun the city, but hopefully we can wreck their weekends as the Mariners go for a win in Game 2 of the series against the Blue Jays. We set the lineups and hear from Scott Servais on Baseball's Heritage Pre-Game Show.

Football is finally here! It's a short show today so we can bring you the Hall of Fame game live from Canton. Tonight, the Canadian invEHsion begins as the Blue Jays are in town for a four-game series. Felix gets the start tonight, and the question is, could this be his last start of the season? If he can't perform up to expectations, the team is going to need to do something. Earl Thomas finally breaks his silence, writing in The Players' Tribune that he's doing this not just for himself, but for other NFL players in his situation. It's pretty clear that this isn't going to get resolved anytime soon. So should the Hawks just trade him? Keep him? Jason Puckett from KJR's Cliff and Puck Show weighs in on this and the Felix situation. We ask you to predict Felix's line for tonight's game. Chris Petersen held his pre-season press conference today and we delve into it for you.
