Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain

Signups for the 2018 Mahler/Millen Mock Draft are now open with some killer prizes available. One of the biggest stories for the Mariners early in the 2018 season is the dominance of Edwin Diaz. He's been lights out in his first five appearances in ten games, and he's terrifying every batter he faces. Could a Mariner lead the AL in batting average? We ponder this on SHOT! or NO SHOT! In case you missed it, we replay our interview with Colby Cohen of Westwood One as he prepares to call tonight's Kings vs. Golden Knights Stanley Cup playoff game.

The Huskies have grown tired of working with the Duck-supporting Nike brand, and has signed with Adidas instead. It's probably not actually about the Ducks, but the point is the Dawgs are done with Nike in 2019. Felix didn't look as great in his second start of the season, and he's losing velocity. That's not too surprising given his age, and he still has the potential to be a decent pitcher. Did Coach Petersen have a say in the new Adidas contract? How might the contract impact recruits coming out of high school. Chris Fetters weighs in on this and what he's seen at spring football.

The 76ers have won 15 in a row and are headed for a 52-game season. Usually in the NFL and NBA, the teams that win championships are teams you'd expect to win championships, but sometimes, teams like the 76ers come out of nowhere and surprise everyone. Could the Seahawks be that team in 2018? Probably not, but we can hope. Ben Gamel should be back in the lineup this weekend, and we're going to need to clear a roster spot. Is it time to let Ichiro go? Is there a reason to keep him over Heredia, or keep Heredia over him for that matter? Sometimes big draft picks don't pan out, and sometimes experts are high on a guy who goes nowhere. It's important to keep lower-round picks and use them wisely. Textimonials share thoughts on the new UW/Adidas contract.

With Felix slowing down, will the M's give him another contract next year? Softy speaks with a representative from another company who lost out to Adidas bidding for the UW apparel contract.... LaVar Ball. We take your sports predictions, no matter how crazy they may be, and tell you if maybe they're not crazy at all on SHOT! or NO SHOT! Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network tells us what the Hawks are likely to do during the Draft.

Softy needs marriage advice for how to handle situations with his TV watching. Softy's Mariners frustration continues even when it shouldn't. Sebastian Janikowski to Seahawks?!?

Softy chats with the OL coach of the Dawgs about his experienced OL going into the 2018 season. Bill Krueger joins the show to talk about the flurry of injuries the Mariners have suffered so far this season. Ryon Healy is the latest Mariner to land on the infamous disabled list. But, he says Dee Gordon's new adventure in center field has worked out well. And, what do you do when your wife can't stop bugging you with questions during the Masters? Softy goes to Textimonials for answers.

Golf writer Shane Bacon reacts to Patrick Reed earning the Green Jacket at the Master's this weekend. Why wasn't his family there to greet him after sinking the final putt? Sebastian "The Polish Cannon" Janikowski is visiting with the Seahawks. We continue to speculate about Russell Wilson's upcoming contract negotiations. And, Shot or No Shot: Can he play eight more seasons in Seattle? Brian Schmetzer joins the show to chat about the slow start to the season for the Sounders and what needs to happen for them to rebound. Also a chat with Nick Harris, the Huskies starting center on an amazingly experienced offensive line.

Hugh Millen joins us for the whole show on a Football Friday in the Spring. Hugh Millen gives his take on John Schneider scouting Josh Allen in Wyoming. Super Bowl-winning teams almost never pay their quarterbacks a large percentage of the salary cap. Russell Wilson is already above the average, and will likely command more with his next contract. UW offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan talks about what he's seeing from the team's offense in spring football.

The News Tribune weighs in on Russell Wilson's future with the team, and Schneider's scouting of Josh Allen. What does Earl Thomas' future look like? Hugh Millen says he's worth a lot of money. With the amount of money Wilson is going to command, is he still the best quarterback option for the Seahawks?

Hugh Millen explains why he cannot root for Tiger Woods now, or ever. We take your questions for Hugh Millen in a segment we call Hey Hugh! Sean Salisbury talks Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson, and all things Seahawks.

The Mariners game started kind of strangely today as a bald eagle landed on James Paxton. What's your scariest animal encounter? With the Hawks reportedly scouting Josh Allen, some are saying Russell Wilson's camp is concerned that the team might move on from him in a season if things don't go well this year. NFL Network's Mike Mayock comments on this story, and other Seahawks news with the Draft just weeks away. LaVar Ball joins the show next segment. How should Softy handle the interview?

LaVar Ball spars with Softy over his comment's about Luke Walton, his shoe brand, and more. Former Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren says there's no way the Seahawks are going to move on from Russell Wilson. Textimonials react to the LaVar Ball interview.

The News Tribune's Ryan S. Clark joins us to discuss Jake Browning and everything Husky football. Former UW basketball coach Lorenzo Romar tells us how he ended up returning to Pepperdine to become their head coach. we take your sports predictions, no matter how crazy they may be on SHOT! or NO SHOT!

It's a Dawg Day Afternoon, with lots of Husky Spring Football and basketball talk. Jack Nicklaus watched his grandson hit a hole-in-one during today's par 3 tournament. What's the moment you've been the proudest of your kid? Jake Browning is obviously a great quarterback, but is he under-appreciated? Has he had that iconic win that other Husky greats have had before him? Pete Kwiatkowski tells us why he volunteered to give up play-calling duties to Jimmy Lake, and how the defense might change.

UW basketball coach Mike Hopkins talks about the future of Noah Dickerson, whetherother guys will enter this year, and how likely he is to take another coaching job elsewhere. Petros Papadakis gives his thoughts on The Masters, Jake Browning, and LaVar Ball. We take your proudest moments as a parent on Textimonials.
