The Ian Furness Show

Thursday at 2pm is your weekly chance to improve your chances at winning this weekend's fantasy football matchup thanks to Brandon Funston of The Athletic. Brandon appears thanks to the Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Northwest.

Furness is live from the VMAC for today's Wednesday show and C.J. Prosise stops by to talk about his bigger role with Rashaad Penny needing to repair his ACL. A look at the unfortunate recent history of running backs in Seattle before Prime Picks for Prime Rib from Porter and York!

A very newsy visit with Rap kicks off the second hour. Live from Dallas for the NFL owners meetings, there was talk about replay, playoff seeding, cheating Pats, and more. Furness had some baseball things weighing on him with the recent signing of Cole to the Yanks for $324M. We might know more about the week 17 game for the Hawks and Softy sits down for a chat.

Rap joins Ian Furness every week, normally on Friday at 2pm, but he joined early this week and there was a lot to cover from the owners meetings in Dallas, Roger Goodell's press conference, and more. Ian appears on the show thanks to Redbox, the Smarter Way to Watch and Play.

How about that Monday Night Football game? Okay, the Giants and Philly isn't the most compelling matchup, but surely our resident Eagles fan watched the game... No, in fact he was out searching for the perfect Christmas tree, which he found... at a home improvement store. Ian is quick to criticize, except that he's given up on the whole experience and opted for a fake tree. Yes, we'd rather talk trees rather than a gripping NFC East battle. We will get back to talking football in segment 2 as Alex Brink and Jed Collins look ahead to the bowl game, and the early preparation for the 2020 season, recruiting, and the search for a defensive coordinator. It's the first day of Prime Picks courtesy of Porter & York. Ian will take one side of a game, Kevin will take the other, and all you have to do is text KEVIN or IAN to 49451. A correct pick enters you to win a giant prime rib courtesy of Porter & York. Today's game: Dallas and the Rams. Ian takes the Cowboys, Kevin has LA.

With a win over the Giants, the Eagles have improved to 6-7. They're both under .500, but tied with Dallas for first place for the NFC East. Which ever team ends up winning the division will probably do it at 8-8, or possibly 9-7, and they'll get a home game against a 5th seed that'll likely have around 12 wins. This isn't the first time a team with an inferior record has been rewarded simply for winning their division. The Seahawks famously played New Orleans at home with a 7-9 record in 2010. Should the NFL stop rewarding division-winners with home field advantage if wild card teams have far superior records? Nigel Burton of the Pac-12 Networks looks at the conference championship game, the conference's scheduling disadvantages, the All-Pac-12 teams, and more. Texts react to Kevin's choice of trees. Ian takes a moment to remember a high school teacher who had a big impact on him. Softy and Ian talk about the latest 12 Days of Christmas.

No better place to get your Cougars fix than Tuesdays at 1:20pm as Ian talks with former Cougs Alex Brink and Jed Collins. It's brought to you by No-Li Brewing: Brewing award winning beers since 2012 with no boundaries and a focus on local ingredients!

Georgetown brewing, where good beer equals happiness!

The 49ers beat the Saints yesterday, and the Hawks had the opportunity to take the #1 seed if they could just get a win against the Rams. Instead, they came out looking flat, losing 28-12. Pete Carroll talks about the game and answers questions from the press in his Monday meeting. How did things go so wrong yesterday? Hugh Millen goes in-depth on Hardcore Football.
