Brian's on the PUP list, so Daniel Salle slides in for a football-heavy Sunday episode. Kevin and Daniel try to diagnose a Mariners season gone sideways — the offense that never clicked, the piggyback that didn’t work, the murky front-office and manager questions heading into the offseason — before pivoting to the good news: a 2-0 Seahawks team dominating with Drew Lock under center, a 3-0 ranked Huskies squad with a discipline problem to fix before Big Ten play, and genuinely real Sonics expansion momentum out of the NBA Board of Governors meetings. Daniel closes with a UW all-time receptions Top 5 that runs through Reggie Williams, Rome Odunze, and Jaydon Mickens.
