They delve into the implications of Jerry Jones' threats to media hosts, the ethics of sports reporting. 

Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com, on the poor performance of the Seahawks OL.  How culpable is John Schneider?  Are the Seahawks even a playoff team at this point?  We agree that Geno Smith is a good quarterback , but not good enough to win you a Super Bowl and the team right now has a serious lack of veteran leadership and that’s a major red flag for Mike Macdonald. 

Puck and Rob  discuss the evolving landscape of college football  and its impact on NFL preparation , particularly for offensive linemen. They analyze the current state of the Seahawks, focusing on team dynamics, leadership issues, and coaching challenges.

 The discussion also highlights the importance of accountability within the team and reaction to what Tyler Lockett said about the team not being prepared. 

Ryan Divish, Seattle Times, joins for his weekly offseason Mariners talk and they focus on the future of catcher Cal Raleigh.  Does Cal want to be here full-time?  What would it cost the organization to keep him around if they offer a contract extension?  Would Cal consider dropping Scott Boras as his agent?  If they eventually part ways with Cal, how ready is Harry Ford?

Puck and Divish  touch  on the dynamics between players and management, emphasizing the need for clear communication and the number one goal for Cal is to win a championship and is that something he can do in Seattle?

Finally, “Hey, What the Puck?” Jerry Jones situation in Dallas with the sports radio host highlights an issue in modern day sports broadcasting.  Too many media outlets are now partners with sports teams, thus it prevents the personalities from really being critical of the team because you don’t want to damage the relationship. For the teams, it’s perfect. You have a nice, safe, comfortable space to talk.   Also, emotional scene last night in Columbus as the Blue Jackets honored the late Johnny Gaudreau.
