Daily Puck Drop w/ Jim Moore....Apple Cup confidence. Will Cal Raleigh stay? PGA Tour idiots

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett, former KJR host and Jim Moore, former co-host with Puck, discuss their confidence levels for the upcoming Apple Cup game between the Washington State Cougars and the Washington Huskies. They also touch on topics such as unemployment benefits, missed opportunities, and the performance of the Mariners. They also discuss the importance of leadership and intangibles in the game. Jim proposes a bet on Twitter for the game, offering to pay a dollar to anyone who bets on the Huskies and $5 to those who bet on the Cougars if they win by 10 or more points. The conversation covers various topics including the upcoming Washington State vs. Washington football game, the rivalry between the two teams, the Mariners' performance, and Dion Sanders' controversial actions as a coach. The hosts also discuss the PGA Tour's meeting with the Saudi government on September 11th, which is seen as tone-deaf and insensitive. 

Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, joins the show and he and Puck talk about the Mariners trading players and the financial implications for the team. They mention the potential trade of Luis Castillo and the challenges of finding a team willing to take on his contract. They also discuss the future of Randy Arozarena and the likelihood of the Mariners tendering him a contract. They express uncertainty about the team's financial situation and the lack of transparency from ownership. In this conversation, Ryan Divish and Puck discuss various topics including the financial success of the Seattle Mariners, the contract of Dan Wilson. 

Danny Kelly, The Ringer, wraps up the show talking about the performance of rookie quarterbacks in the NFL, and the outlook for the Seattle Seahawks. They also touch on the history of their podcasting careers and reminisce about their time together on the Field Gulls podcast. Every week they’ll chat about the NFL, Seahawks and fantasy football.  They discuss the performance of the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, the struggles of rookie quarterbacks, and potential waiver wire pickups in fantasy football. 

The show ends with, “Hey, what the Puck?!” Puck talks about the   PGA Tour's decision to meet with the Saudi government during the week of 9/11.
