On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his regular Tuesday guests, Jim Duquette, MLB Network radio, Danny Kelly from The Ringer and John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com.
Puck opens the show discussing last night’s Mariners game and the razor edge margin that they play with every night. Puck was able to find a couple of things that the offense is doing well and he hopes it continues. Puck also touched in on last night’s national title game won by Florida and he wishes the officials would have stayed out of the outcome. He also touched in on the Geno Smith comments where the former Seahawks quarterback felt disrespected.
Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio, drops by for his weekly visit and they discuss the Vlad Guerrero Jr. massive contract and what impact that has on impending free agents. Two former Astros players are off to great starts with their new teams, Kyle Tucker with the Cubs and Alex Bregman with the Red Sox. 11 games into the season and the Mariners have already ditched their plans for Jorge Polanco at third base. The Rangers are off to a fast start but it’s not their offense getting the job done.
Danny Kelly from The Ringer drops by and discusses all things NFL draft. What would surprise and anger Danny at #18 for the Seahawks? Danny is focused on position group he wants the Seahawks to address. Lastly, what did he make of Geno Smith’s comments that he felt disrespected?
John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com pays his weekly Tuesday visit. They begin the show with breaking news in the NBA that Mike Malone has been fired by the Denver Nuggets. The NBA is a tough and unfair profession on coaches. John shared his thoughts on the national title game in college hoops and he hopes the committee will once again reward mid-major programs. Still no announcement on a Pac-12 media deal, but John did learn that the conference recently restarted conversations with UNLV about potentially joining once the legal issues with the Mountain West Conference are solved. Finally, Puck and John discuss the heartbreaking story involving a six year old boy by the name of William Jackson and his daunting battle with a rare genetic disorder and his parents are helping to raise money for treatment and how we in the community can help out. What wouldn’t we do for our children?
Lastly, Puck wraps up the show playing a clip from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler’s weekly appearance on what Seattle wants and should do at 18 in the upcoming NFL draft. The Brugler podcast is normally just for Puck’s Posse members, but he opened up this weeks episode for everyone. Also, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Puck circles back to the theme with Canzano, “what wouldn’t we do for our children?”
