The Ian Furness Show

After the comments he made earlier this morning, and the rumors floating around over the weekend, naturally the press covering the team took the opportunity to ask him about what's happening during the Man of the Year Zoom call. We've got the audio. Wilson is making it pretty clear he wants a bigger hand in personnel decisions. Remember when he advocated strongly for Greg Olsen? Yeah, that didn't work out so well. Texters react at 49451: Are you on Team Russ or Team Seahawk? Unsurprisingly, this hasn't endeared him to the fanbase.

Well it's over. Football season comes to a close with a Super Bowl that wasn't particularly exciting, complete with yet another championship for Brady and Gronk. It's not easy to win a Super Bowl, and everything has to fall into place, which is what happened for Tampa who ended the regular season as the 5 seed with few expectations of making it this far. There are off-the-field issues that are undoubtedly distracting Andy Reid and the Chiefs, and it just seemed like their offense couldn't adjust to the Bucs' defense. If a player like Mahomes can have a game like that, it should make Seahawks fans recognize that we're doing just fine with Russ, despite some of his bad games. The Canucks could be fringe their coach, more hockey games are being cancelled because of COVID, but there are still highlights from the NHL weekend to play on today's Power Play. ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez passed away suddenly yesterday. By all accounts, he was one of the good guys in the business, and we take a few minutes to remember him.

Russell Wilson has won this year's NFL Man of the Year award, and it's well-deserved. Whatever you may think about Russ' clichés, his nerdiness, or his general persona, his volunteer efforts are genuine. We here have seen them firsthand. So, are the Seahawks about to trade him? Rumors started emerging over the weekend that teams were reaching out inquiring about a trade, but there doesn't seem to be much behind these stories, and Ian is pretty sure he knows why. Tom Brady has won yet another Super Bowl. Mike Sando takes a close look at the 31-9 victory for the Bucs. Ian unveils his three stars from yesterday's game. Softy reacts to what was, by most accounts, a boring Super Bowl.

Every Friday at 1:20, we turn to a man who studies countless hours of film to get his insights ahead of the weekend's games. Today is no exception as we find out what stands out to him before the Bucs and Chiefs face off in the Super Bowl. Before that though, we find out how Russell Wilson fits into a McVay-style offense seeing as the Hawks' new OC Shane Waldron has worked with that system. The Canucks are struggling. Last night it was Toronto who took a whack at them. The highlights are on today's Power Play. Trevor Bauer is going to get $40 million this year, and $45 million next year. We talk about the day Mahomes and other quarterbacks get paid this kind of money, but in baseball it's already happening.

There is just 48 hours until game time. Are virus tests still coming back negative, and what would happen if suddenly a wave a players tested positive? Ian Rapoport has the latest on that, plus Trevor Lawrence's upcoming surgery on his non-throwing shoulder. How might that surgery impact the draft? We find out from NFLDraftScout's Rob Rang. Softy joins the show for cross talk as we try to figure out which Super Bowl loss was worse; the Hawks' loss to New England thanks to a single play, or the Falcons' dominating lead being ripped away late in the game?

From NFL Films and ESPN's NFL Matchup, Greg Cosell joins Ian Furness every Friday at 1:20pm PT to give a full, film-based breakdown of the upcoming Seahawks game.
