The Ian Furness Show

We've got two outdoor NHL games this weekend, and everyone seems pretty stoked about them, except for Ken Campbell of The Hockey News who says he could not possibly care less about these two games. Has the whole NHL playing outdoors thing really become overdone? What other sporting events have run their course, and which past-their-rime events are you still excited about, even if no one else is? The Avalanche's Pierre Edouard Bellemare was thrilled that he'd be playing on Lake Tahoe, only to find out the game is actually being held on a golf course near the lake, on this dream-crushing edition of the Power Play. Things are tough again in Houston, but Mattress Mack has stepped up once again. Just as he did after Katrina, Harvey, and Imelda, he's opening his mattress stores to the public for a bit of warmth.

Carson Wentz has been traded to the Colts. Who will be the next quarterback to move, and what else can we expect over the next couple of weeks? NFL insider Ian Rapoport gives us a preview. Rob Rang takes a look at realistic running backs the Hawks may actually snag in the upcoming draft. Would you actually watch curling if it were on TV more often? We answer that, and more as texts weigh in at 49451. Dick Fain drops in before the afternoon show.

Don't miss Ian Rapoport's weekly visit with Furness as Rap catches us up on all the news around the league. Rap's visits are thanks to the fine folks at Porter and York. Rare meat, well done. Visit PorterandYork.com to get great meat delivered straight to your door!

Ian is back... well not physically. He's broadcasting from Lo-Li Brewhouse in Spokane this afternoon. After heavily investing in Carson Wentz, the Eagles have now traded him to Indy. Does this really make much sense? Ian is sitting in the shadow of Gonzaga, which means it's the perfect time to check in with Gary Parrish of CBS Sports. Should Gonzaga sit out the WCC Tournament? Connor McDavid reaches 500 points in the NHL with an assist for the Oilers. He ties Sidney Crosby for reaching the milestone in the fewest number of games. Something Good: Hey look, we're on Mars, plus No-Li offers free snow shovels as long as you pay it forward.

We're getting closer to baseball season now that pitchers and catchers have reported. Scott Miller joins the show to talk all things baseball, including the 14-year, $340 million contract the Padres gave to Fernando Tatis Jr. A small portion of Tatis' contract will go to Big League Advance, a company that advances money to minor leaguers in exchange for a portion of their future earnings, and some seem to have a problem with it. The Mariners have officially brought James Paxton back to Seattle. We hear what Big Maple has to say about his return to the Northwest. Texts react to the show at 49451. Dick Fain pops in for cross talk as he prepares for the afternoon show.

The tournament is a mere weeks away. We check in with CBS Sports' Gary Parrish every Thursday with everything you need to know about college basketball courtesy of No-Li Brewhouse. Find No-Li's excellent variety of beers at a store near you. Washington made from Washington ingredients.

Ian is still out. Washington Post columnist Jerry Brewer helms the 1-3 show this afternoon. Mike Jones, USA Today columnist discusses Russell Wilson and the era of player empowerment in the National Football League. The Avalanche beats the Golden Knights on the Power Play of the Day. One man spreads cheer through postcards on today's Something Good.

Some NBA players are reportedly reluctant to participate in public service announcements encouraging people to get the COVID vaccine. Jerry is adamant that the only way we can all move forward is for as many of us as possible to immunize ourselves from the disease. Jerry explains what Russell Wilson's real objectives are, and why Seahawks fans shouldn't be too freaked out by all of this. Texts lash out over Jerry's comments on the COVID vaccine. Softy joins the show as he prepares for his afternoon show.
