Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Softy and Dick continue live from 13 Coins as the countdown to kickoff with the Hawks and Packers continues. Today's Fact or Fiction is a no-brainer. Hawks win, and they cover. Mike Holmgren is on the Westwood One broadcast of the game tonight. He discusses the difficulties of recovering on a short week, where his allegiances lie tonight, putting up Christmas lights before Thanksgiving, and more. Softy caught up with Doug Baldwin before the game. He gives an update on his health, the challenges of playing on Thursday, his thoughts on the Hawks' running game, and more.

Softy runs through all of the mishaps and missteps that have befallen the Mariners over the years, including nine managers since Lou left, two who quit, the team being one of only two to never play for a World Series, and more. The club is a three-ring circus. Now with the allegations from Lorena Martin, has the organization hit rock bottom? ...But wait there's more. The M's just hired Tim Laker as their new hitting coach, the same Tim Laker who was implicated in the Mitchell Report. In part I of Dick and Dave in the Locker Room, Dave interviews Jake Browning.

Wait, Softy is picking against Washington on Fact or Fiction? The spread is too high. Take the Beavers +32.5. Dick Fain interview Tyler Lockett. Does Dick man up to the fact that he's been critical of him? Petros Papadakis discusses all things Pac-12 football. Textimonials react to the first two hours, including whether Dick was honest enough with Tyler Lockett.

No matter how easy a Washington win over Oregon State looks on paper this weekend, it's nothing compared to the cake walk SEC teams have. Alabama, for example, is being given a 99.9 percent chance of beating The Citadel. Why is the SEC given a pass on getting a virtual bye every November when the rest of colege football plays tougher conference games? Kevin Harlan looks at the Hawks and Packer matchup, the NFL moving the Chiefs/Rams game out of Mexico, and more. Rick Neuheisel discusses all things Dawgs and everything college football. Local kid out of Shorewood High School Blake Snell won the AL Cy Young today. The M's could have had him, but ...you know ....we're cursed.

We're already 1-0 this week, and we're ready to keep rolling. Dick takes the Vikings +3. The Seahawks are 0-3 in their last three meetings with Green Bay, but the last time they beat them was historic. We play back audio from the famous NFC Championship game in 2015. Jon Wilner of The Mercury News on Coug fans, the best Apple Cup scenario for the Dawgs, Mike Leach as coach of the year, and more. You send your thoughts to 49451, and Texty reads them back everyday at 4:45. Today's Textimonials with thoughts on Lorena Martin, and the Dawgs.

Walter Jones, from a Waffle House somewhere in Alabama, with his thoughts on the Hawks following the loss to L.A. Do the Hawks still have a chance at the playoffs? Mike Florio from somewhere in West Virginia, presumably not at a Waffle House, with his thoughts on the latest news from around the NFL. What happens next with Le'Veon Bell? How did the NFL think playing a gootball game with air quality as poor as it was in Santa Clara, was a good idea? And how did no one realize the condition of the field in Mexico City was so poor until now? We're continuing to find more information about the Lorena Martin allegations, including what proof she has. Right now, it feels like a he said, she said scenario and it's hard to rush to judgment with the facts that we have. The Sounders season is over, but coach Brian Schmetzer finds the time to chat with us one more time about the final match, and the 2018 season. Dave Tippett stops by with Tuesdays with Tipp, along with special guest former NHL player Mike Modano to talk all things hockey.

The Hawks may have lost yesterday, but they are showing a phenomenal rate of progress. No one thought they'd be a win over the Packers away from being a 5-5 team with a real shot at a wild card. That being said there are things that need to be improved on and things that shouldn't be happening in the first place. Russell Wilson likely cost the Hawks the game yesterday and it wasn't the first time this season, but there was plenty of blame to go around for yesterday's loss. Who deserves a piece of the blame cake? The Hawks have a short week and a chance to redeem themselves at home against the Packers on Thursday. They are really going to have to win this game if they want to stay alive.

We announce last week's Fact or Fiction winner, and Softy takes the Giants tonight on Fact or Fiction. It's time to start looking ahead to the Green Bay game, and the Hawks stack up reasonably well against them. Joel Klatt of Fox Sports talks SEC and the 8-game conference schedule, the Apple Cup, and USC's struggles. Textimonials react to yesterday's game. After being let go by the M's, Lorena Martin has accused the team of being discriminatory toward Dominican players. If it's true, the team needs to clean house at the management level.

Chris Carson, D.J. Fluker, and Bradley McDougald are all possibly out this weekend. This spells trouble for the Seahawks offense who desperately needs him, or so it seems. Chris Carson is the most important player not named Wilson right now, and there's a chance we'll only remember him as a guy who couldn't stay healthy. Dick either "can't stand" or is "tired of" Jake Browning. Either way, he doesn't think Browning is elevating this team. What is the number one reason the Huskies are where they are at this point in the season?

Softy says Green Bay runs away with this game on Fact or Fiction. Last night's Sounders/Timbers match was great, but it's a little difficult for newcomers to get adjusted to the two-game aggregate series, and games ending on penalty kicks. Hardcore soccer fans, are you okay with this or would you rather find another way for these things to end? Rick Neuheisel, CBS college football analyst, talks Jake Browning, Cougs' playoff chances, and all things college football. Textimonials respond to the first 2 hours of the show. Get your texts in every day at 49451 and you might just hear Texty read them back on the air.

It's been a few days. It's time to bring back Fun with Audio, complete with a Stephen A. and Michael Irvin screaming match, Mike Leach talking about actual Buffaloes, and more. UW broadcast legend joins us to talk about the start of college basketball season, last Saturday's game, a look ahead to 2019, and his pick of the week. After Dez Bryant goes down with an Achilles injury immediately after signing with the Saints, Softy wonders why teams spend big money on wide receivers. It's been months since we've done this. It's the return of You Don't Know Dick! Winners receive fabulous prizes.

Jerry Dipoto and the M's have traded Mike Zunino and Guillermo Heredia to the Rays for Mallex Smith. We knew there would be some sort of shakeup coming, and it's not surprising that Zunino was a part of it because he's never excelled here on offense. Some of that may have been because he was called up to early, some of it may have been injuries, but it is what it is. There's a lot to like about Mallex Smith, although he did much better on turf at the Trop. How will that affect him here? Chuck Powell, one half of the Chuck and Buck Morning Show on KJR stops by the Central Bar and Restaurant to react to the trade and give his thoughts on Mallex Smith. Lee Sterling of Paramount Sports calls in with his weekly college and pro football picks, including picks for the Hawks and Rams, and the Cougs in Colorado.

The Cougs have been solid all season, but everyone is just waiting with anticipation for WSU to Coug it once again. Could this be the weekend? Dick takes Colorado +6 on Fact or Fiction. Mike Holmgren joins Softy and Dick at the Central Bar and Restaurant in Bellevue to talk all things Seahawks as the 4-4 team prepares to take on the Rams in L.A. Leg 2 of the Sounders vs. Timbers is tonight at 7:30, and we caught up with Brian Schmetzer who gives us an inside look at the club ahead of the match.

It looks more and more like the Mariners are going to attempt to rebuild, or re-imagine the team, which likely means a few more losing seasons before things get better. The only way things are going to turn around is if the team gets an owner who is driven to win. It's rare these days, but it has to happen. Maybe Stanton is that guy. Only time will tell. Russell Wilson is the 11th-highest-paid player in the NFL but it's almost time for him to get a raise. How comfortable are you in paying him the absolute top dollar in the league? Dick and Dave speak with JR Sweezy and George Fant. Special teams coach Brian Schneider discusses the onside kick, Michael Dickson's recent fake punt, other skills in Dickson's toolbox, and more.
