Monday’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes Jim Moore, who joins every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to discuss all things sports, his dogs annoying others and whatever weird stuff comes into their heads. Also on Monday’s during the football season, Puck hosts the Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast with Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13. On Monday’s show, they cover, indoor baseball, betting on the wrong Canadian golfer, boring wild card weekend, looking ahead to the divisional round games, Cougars falter against Gonzaga, Jim’s dog barking and the future of D.K. Metcalf and whether or not it’s worth paying him big dollars. Puck wraps up the show as always with, “Hey, What the Puck!” Where he discusses the pressure parents put on kids in club sports.

1:04:41 - The Ground Puck Seahawks Podcast with Tim Booth, Seattle Times and Curtis Crabtree, FOX 13. They start looking ahead to the offseason for the Seahawks and besides hiring a new offensive coordinator, what is their biggest priority. They turn their attention to receiver D.K. Metcalf and wonder if he is truly worth all the money that is coming his way? They look at the past Super Bowl champions and they all had one thing in common, no team with a receiver that was one of the top paid in the league. Can they spend their money better elsewhere? If they were to trade D.K., what would the market look like?
1:36:14 - “Hey, What the Puck!?” Are we as parents putting too much pressure on our kids in club sports? Are we sure they are having fun?
