John Schneider says the Seahawks aren't rebuilding, they're resetting. Wait, isn't that almost worse? Any word with the prefix "re" sounds bad. Maybe we should just call them the 2018 Seattle ReHawks. Softy is doing something for the first time in his entire life, and he's a little freaked out about it. We take your sports predictions and tell you whether or not there's any chance they come true in SHOT! or NO SHOT! Dick Baird tells us everything we need to know heading into Spring Football which starts tomorrow.
King Felix has officially been named the starting pitcher for Thursday's Opening Day game, and maybe it is the confidence boost he needs, but isn't Paxton the real go-to pitcher on this team at this point? Ndamukong Suh is signing with the Rams, which is obviously bad news for the Hawks because he'll be in the division, but did the Hawks dodge a bullet? Suh signing here likely wouldn't have been a good move. The idea of trading Earl Thomas for OBJ seems ill-advised, but some fans are all for it. Theoretically, would you support the trade?
Newly-signed Seahawks guard D.J. Fluker talks about why he feels he's a good fit for the Hawks, and his confidence playing as a guard. Earl Thomas wrote pretty convincingly over the weekend that he wants to remain in Seattle. Could he just be trying to play the good guy in case the Hawks get rid of him? Sherman has tried a similar tactic. Textimonials respond to the first two hours of today's show.
NFL Network's Steve Wyche spoke to Pete Carroll and John Schneider, and we play back some of the highlights. Blazers voice and Loyola Chicago alum Brian Wheeler talks about his Ramblers making the Final Four, and Softy tries to find him a flight to San Antonio so he can call the game. Could Nelson Cruz lead the league in home runs this year? Find out on SHOT! or NO SHOT! KJR reporter Curtis Crabtree, live from Arizona, updates us on all things M's and Hawks.
Softy sees a tweet involving Howard Schultz and it reminds him how much he still hates the guy. Who would be on your Seattle sports fan Mt. Rushmore of hate? Luke Willson has signed with the Lions. There are now only six guys still on the team who were hear in 2014. As the Seahawks continue to dismantle the team, is it worth seeing what we can get for Earl Thomas? Do fans want to keep him or let him go for the right price?
Mariners prospect Dan Vogelbach talks about how his game has improved from the 2017 season, and what it's like to compete against teammates for a Big League slot. Petros Papadakis and Softy discuss Richard Sherman landing in San Francisco, and the NCAA Tournament. Textimonials send us Seattle Sports Poetry in honor of World Poetry Day.
Could Mike Hopkins be headed to Pittsburgh? It's being floated, but with the incredibly high buyout on his contract needed, it's not all that likely. Westwood One's Kevin Kugler talks about the historice UMBC upset of Virginia. What does it mean for UVA, and could we see an upset like this again? On SHOT! or NO SHOT!: Is there a shot the Hawks lose all of their divisional games? It's World Poetry Day, so we're taking your best Seattle Sports Poetry. Anthony Beyrouti of Venue Kings talks Seahawks ticket prices and M's availability for the upcoming season.
The Hawks have just upgraded their offensive line by signing D.J. Fluker. He may not be the best at his position, but the Hawks just need some veterans on the offensive line. Richard Sherman wrote an article for the Players' Tribune telling us what we already knew, which is that the Hawks wouldn't match the Niners' offer. Would Sherman really have been willing to take a pay cut in order to stick with the Hawks? New KJR Morning Show co-host Bucky Jacobsen comments on the upcoming 2018 Mariners season, and what he'll bring to the table on the morning show.
Richard Sherman held his first press conference as a 49er today. It wasn't pleasant having to see him stand up there. Nonetheless, we play back some of the audio from it. Jason Hamilton joins us to discuss last night's Husky loss against Saint Mary's, where the team goes from here, and his picks for the Sweet 16. Textimonials tells us what they think of the new KJR lineup.
Former Giants offensive lineman and NFL Network analyst Shaun O'Hara tells us about another former Giants offensive lineman who was just signed by the Hawks, D.J. Fluker. WFAN New York's Paul Dottino adds more insight into the conversation about Fluker. Could the Hawks and Browns win the same number of games this year? We discuss on SHOT! or NO SHOT! In case you haven't heard, KJR is launching a new lineup starting next Monday, March 26. We read some of your thoughts on the changes, some positive, and some not so much.
Yeah, we didn't see the UMBC upset coming. Yes, we said a number one seed would never be upset, but did you see that coming? Honestly? Now that we've seen a 16 seed upset a top seed, what will be the next great moment in sports? Maybe we're about to witness it here in Seattle when a bunch of players no one had ever heard of win us the Super Bowl next season. Maybe that's just Softy looking at things with a glass half full attitude, because really, 2018 looks pretty rough for the Hawks. Husky quarterback Jacob Eason joins us to discuss transferring to UW. Softy talks about seeing Eason practicing recently.
Gonzaga Bulldogs voice Tom Hudson breaks down the team's Sweet Sixteen matchup against Florida State this Thursday. Softy walks around the office asking people if they know what happens in ten days, and nobody has any idea. Do most listeners even know? Christian in Auburn takes over the show for a few minutes. Textimonials react to Softy saying he isn't excited about the Huskies NIT game tonight.
Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland talks about Terrelle Pryor, and briefly CJ Smith. If Dallas is willing to give up a mid-round 1st, and a 3rd round pick for Earl Thomas, is it worth it? Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer discusses the team's rocky start, and how this upcoming break might help them. On SHOT! or NO SHOT!: Could one of the remaining 9 or 11 seeds make it to the Final Four? In case you missed it, we replay the Jacob Eason interview from earlier in the show.
As the 2018 NFL league year and free agency officially begin, Hugh Millen and Tony Softli join the show to talk about the changes to the Seahawks roster. With so many players leaving, this is the biggest change the Seahawks have had in years. Will they be able to rebuild? Should the Hawks pick up Ndamukong Suh? DeShawn Shead has signed with the Lions. Barkevious Mingo is reportedly coming to Seattle.
As the first day of free agency continues, Hugh Millen and Tony Softli stay with us to break it all down. Of the players who have left, who is going to be missed the most? What are their thoughts on Graham's departure? Was Richardson worth the money Washington paid him? Would Austin Seferian-Jenkins be a good pick up for the team? What about the possibility of thatHoney Badger? DidSherman hurt his ability to return to the hawks by representing himself?
