    I used to listen religiously for few years but kjr is gone off deep end. Low level guests, constant yelling low level guests. Soccer talk, same ole debates and running out Hugh Millen who can’t form a sentence and who rambles on about nothing. Team 710 Brock and Salk!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Softy and Dick 9-24 Hour 1: Darnold Status, Rick Neuheisel, Fun w/ Audio
Q: Coach, what's your read on Sam Darnold's readiness if doctors clear him?
The doctors' clearance is the trigger, but the real question is the risk of re-injury and whether the player can perform at an acceptable level, balanced against the team's needs.
Softy and Dick 9-25 Hour 2: Feelings on UW Offense, Rick Rizzs Visit
Q: What do you hope to say when you sign off on Sunday afternoon?
He indicates he wants the moment to happen naturally, while expressing gratitude to fans and colleagues and reflecting on his 52-year career.
Softy and Dick 9-25 Hour 2: Feelings on UW Offense, Rick Rizzs Visit
Q: Rick, how soon are you going to retire and what are your plans after calling it a day?
Rick describes his planned final weekend, his desire to retire and spend more time with family, and his intent to stay connected with the Mariners in some ambassadorial role.
Softy and Dick 9-23 Hour 3: Kevin Harlan, NFL Expansion & M’s’ Future
Q: Where will you be for TV on Sunday?
We're in Miami this weekend, with Chiefs versus Dolphins, and then likely another Chiefs game the following weekend in Las Vegas.
Softy and Dick 9-14 Hour 2: UW Offense, Jedd Fisch Audio, Texas Win
Q: Is this fixable?
Yes, the analyst believes much of UW's offensive issues are fixable. Improvements will come from accelerating the learning curve, better fit of personnel, and tightening up blocking schemes and play selection, though injuries and line depth will influence the timeline.
