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.

Ian is live from the VMAC once again as it is of course Wednesday. We've got status updates on several players, including two high-round draft picks who were inactive last week. LJ Collier in particular has been troubling, missing two of the three games since he's been healthy. After the McDowell circumstances, it's troubling to see another first-round defensive player miss so much time. This weekend, the Hawks are in Cleveland as the Browns look to rebound after a drubbing by the Niners. Baker Mayfield, for all the hype, really hasn't been good, and the Cleveland offensive line seems to be a huge problem. To discuss the Browns in-depth, sideline reporter for the Browns Radio Network Nathan Zegura. Kevin and Ian try to find the perfect boat race sound effect. Ian says thank you for the support on Something Good. If you notice changes in your health, more importantly the health of your kids, make sure to take them in, and push for answers.

Mike Holmgren joins the show for his weekly visit to discuss Richard Sherman and the handshake controversy,Russell Wilson's awesome start, and the atmosphere in Cleveland. Luke Willson is Luke Willson as he has a conversation with Ian that has very little to do with football. Ian takes the Saints over the Mustache on Fact or Fiction. No Softy today. Ian talks baseball with Dick Fain.

Tune in every Wednesday at 2pm to hear Mike Holmgren with Ian Furness on all things NFL and Seahawks. He is brought to you by Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, and by Redbox. For movies and games, head to Redbox, the smarter way to watch and play.

The response from listeners following yesterday's show was huge, and it goes to show that we are more than just voices on the radio; that by talking sports for two hours every day, we're able to establish a true connection. We're all just human beings with things going on, just getting through the day, and hopefully talking sports on the radio can bring us all a little closer together. Last night's NFL game was full of storylines that directly affect the Seahawks. The Browns look awful, with Mayfield in particular with a 13 passer rating. 13! Yeah, they'll be out for revenge when the Hawks go to Cleveland, but that won't mean much. The 49ers on the other hand are for real. In one aspect, that's a little scary for a Seahawks team that's trying to win the division. In another way though, it's awesome, because it means that NFC West rivalry is back. Yeah, the rRams are still in it, but it looks like it might really come down to these two teams. The Cougs had a bye, but there's still plenty of changes taking place on the Palouse, from the resignation of Tracy Claeys, to depth chart changes, and more. Alex Brink and Jed Collins joins us to talk about all of it.

Richard Sherman is stirring things up again, and if you're watching the Niners closely, it's pretty clear that it isn't just his own talk. He's hyping other guys in his locker room up. It's straight out of the 2012-2014 Seahawk playbook. It does mean one thing though, the rivalry is gearing up again, and that Monday night game in November is going to be fantastic. Nigel Burton of the Pac-12 Network discusses the Husky loss, and this weekend's matchups with the two Washington teams down in the desert. Kevin isn't happy about it, but he's taking the Cowboys -7.5 on Fact or Fiction. Softy gets ready to discuss the Husky situation on the Honks.
