PuckSports Daily Puck Drop: Seahawks can win the West. Penn State PR mess. I want a Steve Ballmer! Guests: Mike Garafolo, NFL Network...Maxx Crosby a Seahawk?

Puck and Garafolo dive into the MVP discussion between Josh Allen and Ravens running back Derrick Henry, who is on pace to eclipse Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record, which would be incredible.
After Garafolo leaves the show, Puck jumps back into college football, reviewing the Cougs and Huskies upcoming games. Promoting ‘Old Crimson Cougars Podcast, Cougs Corner and Puck the Huskies. WSU has a shot to run the table, but Puck is concerned there is at least one more loss coming…where? UW has their hands full with Indiana on Saturday, it’s being called the Gasman Bowl.
