1h 5m

Episode Description

A Saturday-night episode covering a brutal Seahawks preseason debut (Brian watched all of it and regrets it), Hard Knocks episode two and the Terrion Arnold felony-charge signing question, whether Jerry Dipoto threw Colt Emerson under the bus over an undisclosed wrist injury, a deep dive on the Huskies' loaded defense, the Reign sneaking into playoff position, and a “reading the comments” segment that turns into a conversation about Mariners suffering. Brian closes with a UW all-time passing yards Top 5.
