Friday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett featured Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy, former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu, PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.com and Chris Egan, KING 5.
Puck and Jim open up the show talking about how excite they are for the Holiday Bowl, despite the Cougars being severely outmanned and having no coaches. They are heavy underdogs, what are the chances the Cougs can pull off an upset? It’s pretty quiet on the coaching search despite rumors swirling around Montana State coach Brett Vigen.
The Seahawks played in a miserable Thursday night game but have kept their playoff lives afloat with the win and now need Arizona to help them out Saturday against the Rams.
19:45 - Former Seahawks linebacker, Lofa Tatupu joins the show to discuss the Seahawks win over the Bears. Lofa shared his thoughts on the offensive struggles, D.K. Metcalf’s behavior, and the standout play of defensive back Devon Witherspoon.

1:01:11 - Friday Voicemails featuring former NFL head coach Jon Gruden, who now wants to coach the Cougars and is wondering why no one has called him about the gig!
1:04:40 - Chris Egan, from KING 5 joins Puck for his weekly visit to discuss sports, but more importantly life…Jim sticks around for the first ten minutes to check in with Chris and asks Egan why he (Jim) is so negative and wonders if Egan can help him out. Once Jim leaves, Egan and Puck talk about his Pickleball Christmas, in which Egan received nothing but presents that were pickleball related. They chatted about the awful Seahawks win, which was hard to watch. Egan shared his thoughts on the changes in college football and why watching the Cougars in the Holiday Bowl will be tough. Chris is over the holidays and has been over served and needs to go on a diet. Finally, Chris promotes his Prep Zone Holiday Special, which you can find on all King 5 platforms, celebrating all the great stories they did throughout the year in high school sports.
