On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore start off Friday’s show chatting with TroyWins.com about this week’s upcoming college football and NFL games.
After Troy departs giving his picks, Puck and Jim discuss the interview that Mariners owner John Stanton gave to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Puck and Jim called the interview unacceptable because Stanton is only making himself available on a team controlled site. Stanton didn’t really answer anything of note and Puck and Jim can’t understand why the team doesn’t truly get the frustration of their fans.
They spend nearly an hour breaking down the interview and just keep shaking their head why they and so many people still love the team, because this group makes it real hard.
They wrap it up with Friday VOICEMAILS, and they introduce a new character…Hugh Millen!
Chris Egan, KING 5, joins the show for his weekly visit and they start off with the great Billy Joe Hobert and the fact that he will be at the Husky game on Saturday against Michigan as their legend of the game.
Chris gives an hilarious Keith Jackson impersonation of Billy Joe. he was a misunderstood player, and it’s good to see the Huskies bring him back into the fold.
Chris is off to cover Jackson and Kamiak for the Big Game of the Week and tells the inspiring story of Will Turpin, a young man battling cancer.
Egan weighs in on his prediction for the Husky game and they laugh about the QB legacy at Puyallup High School and whey weren’t there more Huard’s??
Finally, Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Couldn’t have asked for a better start to the Seahawks season after the first month. Ton of credit goes to Mike Macdonald.
Rundown
00:00 Puck and Jim jump right into our gambling picks with their handicapper, TroyWins and picking the top games in college football and the NFL
29:44 Puck and Jim breakdown the comments from Mariners owner John Stanton to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Puck and Jim can’t understand the disconnect between ownership and their fanbase. Stanton is in love with Jerry Dipoto and he can’t see the mistakes in front of his face. Claims Mariners are a mid-market team despite the Forbes valuation. They cry poor when they are actually one of the most profitable teams.
