What are you doing this Memorial Day weekend? What's the best grilling food? Ian shares some fun stories. A historic movement was made in the NCAA, and we dissect how it will impact all sports across the college landscape. Schools can officially directly pay athletes and those that celebrate aren't paying attention to the ultimate fallout. Ian tells you why the latest NCAA ruling is bad for college sports as a whole. Ian had the chance to catch up with Seahawks corner Tre Brown and we learn more about what goes into rehabbing from a significant injury we didn't know much about. He gave us more insight into the changes behind the scenes with the new coaching regime. Friends with Furness! Tim Benz, Pittsburgh Sports Insider joins Ian to talk about everything from Paul Skenes to Russell Wilson. There are quite a lot of Seattle-to-Pittsburgh connections. Plus, how does Dan Bylsma look as a coaching prospect for the Kraken?

Furness Show 5-24: Memorial Day plans, NCAA Ruling and Tim Benz

Last night we saw quite the show at Climate Pledge Arena, with Jewel Lloyd dominating for the Storm and Cailtin Clark needing more surrounding support.Chris Crawford of My Oh Why joins as the Mariners lose their 4th game of the series with the Yankees. This series would've felt a lot better in the split if the wins and losses were in reverse order. Chris thinks it's a bad idea to 'punish' Julio by dropping him in the order. He deserves a day off, but he's so good defensively that they don't have the ability to replace him in the outfield. As is true for the majority of the pitching staff, the starters need more run support. Dick Fain provided us with an outstanding Mariners stat and the numbers will shock you. Corbin Smith, All Seahawks on SI.com and Locked on Seahawks joins us for his new weekly segment! We got our first look at this year's Seahawks yesterday at the initial open OTAs. Corbin says it's evident that experience is being prioritized early on. It doesn't sound like Abe Lucas will be able to participate in any of OTAs or minicamp. Geno looked extremely comfortable yesterday and Corbin thinks Seattle can win playoff games with him...as long as they figure out the offensive line. Last night brought a historic crown for the Storm and the WNBA in Seattle. Was it a one-off for you as a fan? We were out at Seahawks minicamp yesterday and gained some insight from Mike Macdonald and Geno Smith. How are players adjusting to the new schematics and how is Mike Macdonald taking on his new reigns? We let you take a listen.

Plus, another edition of "The Dumbest Thing You'll Hear Today".   Tre Brown, Seahawks CB joins Ian following practice to talk about the differences between Pete Carroll and Mike Macdonald in terms of atmosphere and coaching. While he didn't place soul blame on Pete Carroll, the team was aware that a change was necessary if they wanted a different result. He says Macdonald and DC Aden Durde complement each other perfectly. This is the first time Tre has come into a year completely and totally healthy.

The Mariners won last night in a tremendous comeback that nobody could've seen coming. Caitlin Clark gave us a scare with an ankle roll and she certainly has a lot of pressure on her. Did you stick it out for the entire Mariners game or switch over to something else last night? Last night's Mariners game was a feat in improbability and Ian takes you through the numbers that show just how unlikely it was. Ian missed the Mariners' comeback, but that's because there was a game 7 between the Canucks and Oilers. How many people didn't see it? What's the one game you missed or left early that you wish you could get back? Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins the show to react to the significance of last night's Mariners win over the Yankees. He was also in person for the Baltimore series and although the Mariners 'didn't show up' for that one, he says Julio Rodriguez made the best defensive play he's ever seen in person. In addition, although Bryce Miller had a rough first inning in his start there, Joe was extremely impressed by the following five. Joe breaks down the true teams that have a shot at making a run this season. The Mariners had a fantastic comeback win last night and Ian wants to know just how honest fans will be about whether or not they stuck through until the end. Ian also revisits his feelings about the Jamal Adams trade in hindsight, as he's now visiting the Ravens. Mike Sando, The Athletic joins to break down the low hit rate of quarterbacks drafted in the first round.
