Hour 1 - Mark DeRosa's Team USA Debacle, Chris Canty

Salk has a chart from an analyst that predicts a big dropoff in points for the Seahawks in 2026. We discuss why that could be flawed. Then, Bob Stelton joins the show from Peoria to discuss why he loves Brendan Donovan so much, who has stood out at spring training so far, and how he feels about the Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena situation.

The hour starts with a bunch of funny listener voicemails for Here's The Thing.  Later, former Seahawks defensive lineman Jonathan Hankins joins the show about what he's up to, his interest in media, what made the 2025 Seahawks great, Demarcus Lawrence and plenty more.

Brock and Salk discuss why Randy Arozarena declined to speak to the media and put an end to the drama with Cal Raleigh. They then go Around The NFL with storylines from Geno Smith, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins and more. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on the Seahawks losing out on one of their running back targets, a crazy stat about first round QB's and how the Seahawks are much different than their NFC West peers for 2026.

Randy Arozarena declined to speak to the media about his incident with Cal Raleigh and Salk reacts to it all to open the show. Afterwards, they re-air their conversation with former Mariners pitcher Aaron Sele on what he's been up to post-career, what stands out to him about the 2026 Mariners and much more.

We react to something that struck Brock from our conversation with Chris Canty yesterday about NFL team's being more reactionary than ever before. Then, we discuss whether we will hear from Randy Arozarena today and if the situation with Cal and Randy is resolved. Plus, Salk crowns a new Trash Takes winner.

Brock and Salk debate as to whether the Seahawks should consdier trading for Jalen Carter from the Eagles and if the risk is worth the reward. After that, they welcome on former Mariners pitcher Aaron Sele to get his thoughts on the current Mariners team, his playing career and more.

After the Maxx Crosby trade was voided yesterday, Brock and Salk discuss again if they are still interested in the Seahawks trading for the star pass rusher and what they would be willing to give up. They then dive in further to the Cal Raleigh-Randy Arozarena situation and praise Cal for defusing the situation in the way that he did. In Blue 88, topics include if there will still be question marks around Sam Darnold next year, the possibility of Rachaad White to the Seahawks and why Riq Woolen in Philadelphia is the perfect boom or bust situation for the Eagles.

Salk starts the show by reacting to the comments made by Mark DeRosa who already believed Team USA had punched their ticket to the quarterfinals, only to be wrong about it and have Team USA now relying on the results of the Italy vs Mexico game after losing last night. Then, they re-air their interview with Chris Canty of ESPN Radio in which they discuss NFL free agency, the Seahawks letting Ken Walker leave to go to Kansas City and much more.

We hear Dan Wilson's reaction to the Cal Raleigh Randy Arozarena siutation from the WBC game last night. He doesn't say it was a joke or no big deal but instead chalks it up to their competitive nature. Then, Dave Wyman joins us from M's spring training to discuss which players he's looking forward to talking with and why he was a bit surprised the Seahawks were willing to pay Rashid Shaheed but not Ken Walker.

Brock and Salk debate more about the Cal Raleigh and Randy Arozarena situation at the WBC and if Arozarena was joking or not. Then, they welcome on Chris Canty of ESPN radio to get his thoughts on the Seahawks first day of free agency, letting Ken Walker leave and much more.
