    Apr 30 2024
    There is a push for women's flag football to become a varsity sport in Washington high schools and Ian and Jess discuss. The Mariners beat the NL East leading Braves last night and Ian thinks ownership needs to give this team what they deserve. The Seahawks didn't draft or sign a quarterback this weekend, so what is their plan? We hear from John Schneider and Mike Macdonald. What is the future for the quarterback position for the Seahawks? Ian gives his own insight on what he sees for them. Sam Howell is not an afterthought. Joe Sheehan of The Joe Sheehan Newsletter joins to take us inside the Mariners. He still believes the Mariners have the best rotation in baseball and that's without their number 5. The Mariners are succeeding at the moment, but this pitching staff can't be wasted through a lack of offense. We also take a look ahead to the series against the Astros next weekend. This week is a good chance to catch Houston before they get things rolling. Mick Hoffman, WIAA Executive Director joins Ian to talk about making girl's flag football a varsity in Washington State. Ian thinks this has legs, but Mick explains the work that needs to happen to make it work.
