Furness Show 4-21: Jon Haarlow, Joe Sheehan, John Lund
Apr 2101:57:17Tap to summarizeCriticism for Dan Wilson is starting to look extremely warranted and as much as we love him, things aren't going well. Ian is a huge college basketball fan, but he's not 'all in' on his team right now with the changes we've been seeing in the sport and WSU's lack of keeping up with the rest. Jon Haarlow, WSU Athletic Director joins Ian shortly after being appointed to the position. He tells us what it's like to work with President Cantwell, the new roles Athletic Directors have in the changing world of college sports, as well as Kirby Moore's impact before even coaching a game. He also believes in Coach Reilly's future with the basketball team. Ian has a serious sports confession...he watched the NBA last night and he didn't hate it. Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter tells Ian why the Mets are so miserable right now. How do you lose 11 games in a row?! Joe fills us in on who's flailing across the league, and what's going on with the Astros. Joe tells us why we should be confident in the Mariners, despite a 10-14 record right now. The Daily Power Play! John Lund, Unleashed and Westwood One! John is ON TIME AGAIN! Though he kinda regrets it. How big a deal is it that Trent Williams re-signed with the Niners? Now the team has a two-year window to draft or sign a new tackle. The NFC West continues to be an arms race with the Rams, 49ers and Seahawks and they're gonna beat each other up, which is tough. Ian and Lund take a look around the rest of the league, plus preview the draft. Checking in on the Texts, Talkbacks and YouTube Comments!

Transcribe →Furness Show 4-14: Diana Russini situation, Joe Sheehan, John Lund
Apr 1401:19:25Tap to summarizeIan has spoken the Mariners' bats into existence! Coincidence or real? The power of Mollywhop is real. Ian is almost scared of how well it worked.

Joe Sheehan, The Joe Sheehan Newsletter! Joe tells us what he sees in the Mariners' recent bat surge and what he thinks is happening there. Is there concern with Luis Castillo?

In his traditional fashion, John has a great story about recently spending time at the 'romantic resort' at which Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel were photographed. Both guys don't think she's coming back from this. And the double standard is interesting, as Mike Vrabel will go through hardly anything.
