 Softy and Dick H1 - Pax is out tonight / Will you boo Earl? / In House with Tony Softli | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2482

Breaking news: Paxton has been scratched from tonight's game. It sounds like it isn't a major deal, but with Pax and injuries, you can't help but worry. It doesn't mean the sky is falling..... yet. In more troubling news, Newy Scruggs, a reporter in Dallas is reporting that Earl Thomas is talking to the Cowboys, and is trying to sell his house in Seattle. It looks like things aren't going as hoped by many Seahawk fans. If he does return to Seattle, and he sits out a tremendous portion of the season, is it acceptable to boo him? Dick claims he'll boo him when he's back at CenturyLink, Softy believes Earl has done too much for the team and the fans to deserve the anger. We go In House with Tony Softli to discuss the latest Earl Thomas developments. Would Tony have re-signed Earl?

 Softy and Dick H2 - Rich Waltz on the MLB streaming on Facebook, and the future of sports broadcasting / Is it time to panic? / Textimonials | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2358

The MLB has been broadcasting select baseball games on Facebook all year long, including tomorrow's M's game. Broadcaster Rich Waltz joins the show to talk about the use of new media and how it will change sports broadcasting. Just a couple weeks ago Dick was adamant that the A's weren't a concern for the Mariners. Now, Oakland is just 2 1/2 games back and continuing to play out of their minds. Is it time to be concerned, or do we still expect the A's to cool off again? Textimonials react the first two hours of the show.

 Softy and Dick H3 - Ben Burr-Kirven on the 2018 Dawgs / A's lineup better than the M's? / Flea Market Flip: Toronto w/Mike Wilner / Pre-Game | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2828

On the eve of Pac-12 media day, UW linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven gets us ready for the 2018 Husky season, discussing the importance of experience, the heightened expectations, and an inside look at the team. How important is it that the Pac-12 perform well this year. If the Dawgs go 11-1, and the conference overall is terrible, is it ging to hurt them? Dick believes it will, Softy isn't convinced. As the A's draw ever closer to the second wildcard spot, we look at their lineup and wonder, are they maybe better than the M's? Today's installment of Flea Market Flip takes us to Toronto where Mike Wilner of 590 The Fan takes us through our best options from the Blue Jays roster. It's the first of a short series against the Giants. We set the lineups and hear from Scott Servais and James Paxton on the decision to scratch Paxton from tonight's game.

 Softy and Dick H1 - TIGER ALMOST WINS! Oh... and Molinari actually wins / Another negative Hawks prediction / In House with Chuck Powell | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2656

Francesco Molinari wins the Open Championship, becoming the first Italian to do so. Who really cares about that though? What's got everyone talking is Tiger almost winning. Even after all these years, Tiger has to be one of the most influential people in sports. Love him or hate him, if he's playing well, it's good for golf. Last week Nate Davis predicted the Seahawks would go 4-12, and now another national analyst predicting disaster for the team this year. Pete Prisco says they'll go 5-11. Are the Hawks really going to get crushed this year, or are we just homers for believing they won't be that bad? KJR's morning co-host Chuck Powell is In House to talk about the bad Seahawks predictions, and to play Let's Make A Deal for the Mariners as the trade deadline nears.

We get Bill Krueger's thoughts on all of it, including his reaction to Softy and Dick's debate over Cano, the potential of trading Ryon Healy, and Felix's pitching. We've heard a lot of national analysts predicting doom for the Seahawks this year. What do ou think? We read your opinions on Textimonials.

 Softy and Dick H1 - Pancakes vs. french toast / Earl Thomas for Julio Jones? / In House with Curtis Crabtree | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2249

One of the most heated debates on this show in weeks, and why not? It's All Star Week. French toast or pancakes? Adam and Softy fiercely defend french toast, but Dick finds it too eggy. Julio Jones has three years left on his contract and wants an extension, but the Falcons don't really want to do that, and why would they? With three years left, and Jones being a fairly good value, there isn't much incentive. Might the Falcons be willing to trade Julio Jones for Earl Thomas and a first round pick? Would this trade be worthwhile for the Hawks? We go In House with Curtis Crabtree to get his thoughts on the mock trade, and discover his lack of confidence in Russell Wilson.

 Softy and Dick H2 - Kings-Warriors preseason at KeyArena confirmed / Nate Davis predicts 4-12 Hawks season / Textimonials | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2529

We've known it was coming for months but it's finally been confirmed. The Kings and Warriors will play an exhibition game at KeyArena in October. As much as you might be angry at the NBA in general, the best way to get a team back is to show up, be loud, and show support. It'd be great if Durant gets in on it too. The Seahawks will only go 4-12 this season? That's what Nate Davis of USA Today is predicting. He joins the show to break down the season and try to justify his prediction. Textimonials respond to the Seahawks prediction, the Julio Jones mock trade, Russell Wilson, and more.

 Softy and Dick H3 - Make the trade? / Jon Wilner has Huskies winning Pac-12 Championship / Flea Market Flip: Cincinnati Reds w/Mo Egger | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2091

In the first hour, Softy and Dick were on complete opposite sides on the idea of trading Earl for Julio Jones. As the show has gone on, they've both moved more toward the middle. Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News sees the Huskies winning the Pac-12 Championship this year. He talks about that and all things Pac-12 with us. It's the second edition of Flea Market Flip, today with Mo Egger of ESPN 1530 / 700 WLW in Cincinnati to discuss what players of interest they might be willing to trade away to the Mariners.

 Softy and Dick H1 - All Star Importance / Regional Reaction / Cano Characterization / In House with Hugh Millen talking Earl Thomas | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2264

The All Star Game is over, and the AL was victorious. Jean Segura hit a 3-run bomb to give the AL the lead, but Diaz blew the save and it took Alex Bregman to get it done, likely costing Segura the MVP. Does it really matter to you that Segura didn't win MVP, or that Diaz dropped the ball? We ask the listeners in another edition of Regional Reaction. Yesterday, Softy and Dick got into it over how great of a player Robinson Cano, but it seems like much of the dispute is over the definition of "great". How would you characterize Cano, and what constitutes a great player? Training camp is just a week away. What will happen with Earl Thomas? Hugh Millen is In House to give us his thoughts.
