Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Dick Fain gets to pick today on Fact or Fiction, and he's taking the Hawks +3 against Detroit. The Seahawks continue to rank highly in so many categories despite losing most of their key players. How? It's because of Pete Carroll. As long as he's coaching this team, it's going to find a way to win. Can we officially eliminate the Oregon Ducks from the Pac-12 North race? Jon Wilner answers that, discusses the latest conference drama, and more. Textimonials weigh in on the first two hours of the show.

Former Seahawk, Hall of Famer Walter Jones joins us to talk all things Seahawks. He describes how he'd handle bye weeks, his thoughts on the upcoming Detroit game, Frank Clark's motivation with a contract on the line, and more. ProFootballTalk and NBC Sports' Mike Florio takes a look around the National Football League. It's already time for college basketball as UW has already played an exhibition game against Nevada. Coach Mike Hopkins talks about his expectations for the team this season. As basketball gets underway, regular season soccer is wrapping up with the Sounders playing the last game before the playoffs this weekend against San Jose. Brian Schmetzer talks about what he hopes to see from the game, and how closely he'll be watching the Dallas match in hopes of a bye.

The Dawgs won twice on Saturday; first beating Colorado, and second, watching the Ducks lose to the Cougs. Cougar fans are way too excited about what Dawg fans think of them today, and the fact that they're calling this the biggest weekend ever for WSU football is just sad. With the Ducks losing, the Huskies, Cougs, and Stanford all control their own destiny as they battle for the North. The end of Saturday's game at Husky Stadium proves once again that Petersen either has no faith in the running game, or is deliberately avoiding it as a strategy. Pete Carroll talks to the media as the team gets back to work after a bye week.

We are live from the Emerald Queen Casino. It's our first Fact or Fiction pick of the week, and this time it's a game that actually happens this week. Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins us to talk some college football; Husky analysis and criticism of Pac-12 scheduling. Textimonials weigh in on all things Dawgs. The Raiders have officially placed Marshawn Lynch on the IR which could mean the end of his career. Is he good enough to be a Hall of Fame candidate? There are players with better numbers ahead of him who aren't in.

Dawg fans had high hopes of making the playoffs this year. That seems unlikely now, but the Rose Bowl is still very much in play. If they fall short of that however... Is it a disappointment if the Dawgs don't make the Rose Bowl? We get your thoughts on another edition of Regional Reaction. If the Huskies don't make it, who would Dawg fans rather see in the Rose Bowl; Ducks or Cougars? Rick Neuheisel says the Huskies are still the favorite for the conference championship.

Softy makes his final Fact or Fiction pick of the week. Dick asks, if Browning was out for six weeks and Haener is tearing it up, what happens when Browning comes back? There's a lot of great audio around football, especially coming out of Pullman. We have the highlights on Fun with Audio. Textimonials weigh in on all things Washington.

Everyone's been trying to figure out who tomorrow's guest picker will be in Pullman. LaVar Ball seems to think it is going to be him. Husky broadcaster Bob Rondeau talks about all things Huskies, from last week's loss, to this week's game against the Buffaloes. Anthony Beyrouti of Venue Kings talks about the crazy demand for this weekend's game at Martin Stadium. For Dawgs fans, this game in Pullman is a win-win situation.

With the passing of Paul Allen, the question of the future of the Blazers and Seahawks has been brought up again. The idea of the Blazers moving up I-5 has been brought up before, but do Sonics fans even want the Portland team? Most fans on Twitter are saying no, but if it was our only option to bring NBA basketball back to Seattle, would you really turn it down? The Sounders have clinched a playoff spot for a tenth season in a row, meaning they've made the playoffs every single season they've been a part of the MLS. The M's on the other hand, have missed the playoffs 17 years in a row, the longest stretch in professional sports. Which is more impressive? Dick and Dave are in the locker room once again, talking with Ben Burr-Kirven and Tevis Bartlett. Paramount Sports' handicapper Lee Sterling has your college and pro football picks for this weekend.

Fain says take Oregon and the points on Fact or Fiction. Mike Holmgren is live from the Central Bar and Restaurant as he is every Thursday at 4pm. This week, what happens to the Hawks now that Paul Allen has passed? How did Coach Holmgren handle angry fans? We also discuss Frank Clark, the utilization of Russell Wilson, and more. Husky head coach Chris Petersen answers questions from the media today, and doesn't hesitate to take the opportunity to jab at Softy.

Softy and Dick discuss if the UW football season is considered a good year if they make the Rose Bowl, instead of the College Football Playoff. Plus, Fox Sports 1 Petros Papadakis, Westwood One NFL and TNT NBA Play-by-Play Kevin Harlan, and later Fact or Fiction.

Dick Fain takes the Falcons on Fact or Fiction. Some politicians in this city ...okay, it was Sawant... couldn't wait to take a shot at Paul Allen after his passing yesterday. No matter what your political beliefs are, is it too much to ask to have some semblance of civility, especially after someone dies? The London game proved once again that building the team around Chris Carson and Mike Davis is paying off. The Hawks are still in the wild card race, but imagine if they had figured this out in the Denver and Chicago games. How much of what happened on Saturday can be blamed on Chris Petersen? Do the Huskies still have a legitimate shot at the Pac-12 North? The San Jose Mercury News' Jon Wilner goes through all of it with us. Textimonials on the Dawgs, Hawks, and Paul Allen.

Walter Jones was at the Seahawks game in London this past Sunday. He describes the experience of watching the game in another country, talks about the run game, and more. Could a team be headed to England permanently? ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio explains the only way he sees that working, shares thoughts on Paul Allen, the Hawks' playoff chances, and more. It's not really a big secret that Chris Petersen isn't a huge fan of talking to the media, but every job comes with a downside. Should he have a more amicable relationship with the media?

The Sounders are drawing ever closer to the playoffs. Tomorrow they're in Orlando for a game that starts at 4:30 on 950 KJR. Head coach Brian Schmetzer sets up the game, and talks about the importance of momentum heading into the playoffs. It's Tuesdays with Tod..... without Tod once again. This week we're joined by Dave Tippett, who talks to us about the Northgate training facility, the impact the team will have on the Silvertips and Thunderbirds, and scouting for an AHL team. The yesterday's news of the passing of Paul Allen, we didn't get to the Oakland Raiders Opponent Audio Recap with Brent Musburger and Lincoln Kennedy, so we play it for your listening enjoyment today.

We expected to spend most of today breaking down the Dawgs' loss to Oregon, and the Hawks' big win over Oakland, and then as the show began, we got news that changed everything. Longtime Seahawks owner, Microsoft co-founder, and philanthropist Paul Allen passed away Monday afternoon at the age of 65. We, as Seahawks fans, as Seattle sports fans, owe a ton to Allen for not just saving the team from moving to Long Beach, but for investing in the team and making it a winning product. His efforts meant a lot to this city, and he will be deeply mised. We spend the first hour of the show remembering Paul Allen, including guest appearances from Mike Holmgren and Nate Burleson.
