Episode 101 — Brian Elsner and Kevin Cacabelos came back from a two-week hiatus with a LOT to cover: the Seahawks sold for a record $9.6B (all proceeds to charity), a full round of Mariners hot takes at the all-star break, the Kraken falling into a potential franchise-changing defenseman, a new "Is It Too Late?" segment for the Storm and Reign, and a deep Sonics draft history quiz that starts with trading Scottie Pippen and ends with Corey Maggette being immortalized in rap lyrics.
