Salk shifts away from the baseball conversation to share his '5 biggest Seahawks storylines to watch this offseason' (which you can read here), and like it or not - Russell Wilson is #1. Michael Bumpus makes his weekly visit and Salk asks him to name three free agent Seahawk players he wants to bring back in 2022. John Clayton's Morning Drive covers the AZ Cardinals resigning their GM and coach, plus how the Seahawks can best use their cap space.

The conversation today was supposed to be about the Mariners signing free agents and making Spring Training plans... but we couldn't have been more wrong. Salk's argument yesterday about the owners never taking negotiations seriously from the start ended up being right, unfortunately. We revisit the conversation from Joe Fann (@Joe_Fann).

With as mad as he is about the lockout, Salk argues that they're actually not that far off on their figures and offers his own (albeit elementary) solutions to bring baseball back. Justin takes us a weekly peek into somebody's "Voicemails" and this time we hear who is calling MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. Brock Huard joins to sulk with Salk about baseball and discuss what they want to see from the NFL combine.

We appear to be very close to a deal to end the MLB lockout. It sounds like there will be at least 12 teams in the playoffs. You may not like hearing that at first but Salk explains why it might not be as bad as it sounds.

Our weekly chat with Joe Fann (@joe_fann) covers what the expanded playoffs might look like and what it would mean for fans & what Joe thinks of Jason Laconfora's comments that the Seahawks should be moving Russell Wilson. We start our 'Free Agent Focus' by talking to Mike Triplett from ESPN New Orleans which inspires new questions about cap space for John Clayton.

MLB lockout watch continues and we learn more about some of the details regarding the potentially expanded playoffs and how it works. Salk doesn't seem to bothered by them but understands why fans would be annoyed. Tuesdays are for accountability and for 'Take the L' we call out Kyler Murray, Phil Mickelson, and Maura's issues with FedEx. Brock Huard responds to the Jason Laconfora comments about how the Seahawks should be moving on from Russell Wilson.

We all went to bed last night hoping and praying that we would wake up with a baseball season to talk about but the deal didn't quite get done before last night's midnight deadline... so they extended it to 2pm today. Maura takes us 'Around 710' to hear what Jake & Stacy (10a-2p) and Wyman & Bob (2p-7p) said about the lockout and NFL's expanded international season.

Salk has an idea for the players during the lockout. What do leagues do when a strike goes on too long? They bring in replacement players. So, what could a group of players do if they remain locked out? Salk has a pitch for them...
Then, Brock Huard joins the show to discuss the combine getting underway and all the discussion about the MLB lockout sparks a new Ranked theme.

Rather than get sucked into debating the Russell trade rumors, Salk tries to figure out where they could be coming from. Is it: Russ’s camp? Unlikely. The Seahawks? Unlikely. Other teams? Possible. Media creation? Also possible. Salk shares more stories about his time in Phoenix about his dad, an industry that needs fixed and the 'most Phoenix thing ever.' John Clayton's Morning Drive covers how the NFL combine is changing.

Salk is stuck has an idea for baseball that he wants to offer the players for free - start your own league. Other leagues have brought in replacement players, so why not baseball? We come up with league name ideas and streaming options. Salk tells us a story about how he survived a trip down an icy mountain in Whistler before talking to Brock Huard about more Aaron Rodgers drama.
