Brian opens by vowing not to talk about the “stupid Mariners” again until they reach .500 (a bases-loaded walk on a wild pitch was the final straw). From there it’s a football-forward episode: two weeks of Hard Knocks and the growing case that Mike Macdonald is a top-2 NFL coach, Myles Gaskin as Seattle Legend of the Week ahead of the Apple Cup, an Apple Cup rivalry that may have run its course, the Sounders finally spending real money on striker Dejan Joveljić, and a UW women’s basketball program suddenly recruiting against UConn and South Carolina. Plus a chaotic “that guy rocked” trivia game to close.
