Ian had a great weekend and completely appreciates those who filled in on Friday. Shoutout to the beautiful campus of Gonzaga. What do we make of the Seahawks after getting a look at the rookies out at VMAC this weekend? Ian breaks down what he sees in the top-heavy draft and where there still may be needs. Ian wants you to tell the truth - did you believe the Mariners would be where they are right now after the rough start?  We are anxiously awaiting the return of the NBA here in Seattle, and we take a listen to what Aaron Levine had to say about it last night. It's not 'if' they return now, it's 'when' - and all signs point to fall of 2027. Ownership and a plan is in place, so what's next? Ian discusses the one element missing from the NBA return to Seattle. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join to talk about the Mariners series win in Houston. They give a reasonable take on where the team stands right now, Julio's upside and just what a star he is. Eyes can be deceiving, but the numbers tell the truth. Mollywhop continues and the guys discuss where Julio Rodriguez is right now and give some numbers that might surprise you. Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins Ian to give his first impressions of a Mike Macdonald-run practice, Byron Murphy II - who doesn't skip leg day - and Christian Haynes. Plus who from the later rounds could contribute?

Chris Crawford and Anders Hirst are in for Ian, with Jessamyn at Seahawks minicamp so we have you covered on all things Seattle sports. We take a look at things out at rookie minicamp and preview the series against the Astros. Plus, are you more interested in watching the NBA playoffs or the NHL playoffs right now, considering Seattle doesn't have anyone in either?  How are the vibes out at Seahawks? Well it's not a complete scrapping of the Pete Carroll atmosphere, because Carroll and John Schneider created it together.  John Schneider is still here and there hasn't been some complete overhaul of the fun we've seen throughout the 14 year era.Patrick Beverly is a piece of work with how he treated ESPN's Malinda Adams last night by refusing to talk to her since she 'doesn't subscribe to his podcast'.  The Mariners take on the Astros right now and although they're struggling at the moment, experts don't expect that to continue. Chris wants Julio in the leadoff spot, but understands why the 2-spot makes sense, especially when you look at the analytics. Plus, Cal Raleigh at DH just doesn't work for him - he needs a day off or to catch.  Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald speaks after rookie minicamp today and we take you to the press conference live. We also hear from Byron Murphy II, Christian Haynes and Tyrese Knight after practice.  The Daily Power Play!  Chris, Anders and Jess react to the press conferences we just heard and getting to learn Mike Macdonald as he learns the ropes of running an NFL practice at the helm. We dive back into what the Seahawks did in the draft this year.

Furness Show 5-3: Chris Crawford in for Ian Furness!

The Kraken disputed a report of a mutiny within the organization and ESPN has yet to respond to the false report. The Mariners had a good homestand, but not great. There are some things to work on and despite the team's record, it feels like a potential house of cards. We look into the numbers.  We listen live into Byron Murphy's press conference here at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.    Following Byron Murphy's press conference let us inside who he is as a person and which parts of what we learned will translate to the football field.   Greg Cosell, NFL Films joins to give us a post-draft wrap up and his evaluation of the Seahawks following the additions they made this offseason.   The Daily Power Play! Jordan Eberle spoke with Ian yesterday and completely refuted the report that players gave management an ultimatum to part ways with Dave Hakstol.   Ian's hearing the name Todd McClellan as a potential replacement for Dave Hakstol as the next head coach of the Seattle Kraken. Rob Rang, FOX Sports Draft Analyst joins to give us his final evaluation of this year's NFL Draft. His favorite pick might surprise you. Byron Murphy could bolster this defensive line in a big way. Christian Haynes looks like he is a Bonafide starter.

Mariners are finally changing the narrative on the slow start, and their pitching is somehow better than everyone expected it to be.   Mariners pre game as we hear from Scott Servais ahead of game 3 vs the Braves.   Joe Withee from Emerald Downs joins the show to preview the season and talk about Emerald Downs as a whole.   Jordan Eberle joins the show to talk about the report that multiple players said they wouldn't play for Dave Hakstol.   Steve Palazzolo from PFF joins to talk about the Seahawks draft.   Daily Power Play with Brent Sevryn talking NHL playoffs and much more.   Coach Mike Holmgren joins the show for his last visit before the fall to talk about the Seahawks draft, exit interviews, and much more.

There is a push for women's flag football to become a varsity sport in Washington high schools and Ian and Jess discuss. The Mariners beat the NL East leading Braves last night and Ian thinks ownership needs to give this team what they deserve. The Seahawks didn't draft or sign a quarterback this weekend, so what is their plan? We hear from John Schneider and Mike Macdonald. What is the future for the quarterback position for the Seahawks? Ian gives his own insight on what he sees for them. Sam Howell is not an afterthought. Joe Sheehan of The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins to take us inside the Mariners. He still believes the Mariners have the best rotation in baseball and that's without their number 5. The Mariners are succeeding at the moment, but this pitching staff can't be wasted through a lack of offense. We also take a look ahead to the series against the Astros next weekend. This week is a good chance to catch Houston before they get things rolling. Mick Hoffman, WIAA Executive Director joins Ian to talk about making girl's flag football a varsity in Washington State. Ian thinks this has legs, but Mick explains the work that needs to happen to make it work.
