Brock and Salk Seattle Sports

We discuss Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf working out together at UCLA, Jacksonville approving a $1.4B stadium, Antonio Pierce and his wife owing big money from a car dealership investment gone bad, and Anthony Richardson's status for training camp in Around the NFL. Brock and Salk talk through some of the issues the WNBA has had in maximizing the influx of viewership this season. Plus, Justin and Salk have another edition of Ranked for you.

Another week, another fresh batch of Seattle Sports App 'Here's the Thing' voice messages and many of them are focused directly on Salk. The big topic of the day is Julio Rodriguez and we open the phones to let the Seattle Sports fans share their own theories and fixes for the star's struggles. 

Wherefore art though, Julio? We know opponents studied and adjusted to him but Salk shares 2 things that he sees that have stood out to him regarding the struggles and how to fix them. Brock addresses whether or not the Hawks are the 16th best roster in the NFL.

Salk opens the show with some fun reviews before finally asking the biggest question on Mariners fans minds: what the heck is going on with Julio? Salk opens the phone lines to let Seattle Sports fans share their own thoughts and opinions as to why he hasn't figured it out 1/2 way through the season. 

Salk says we often compare football to chess but baseball has some similarities as well. For football, it’s because of the strategy but in baseball, it’s the way your weakened or strengthened position dictates how you move.  Brock agrees but sees more of a boxing parallel. Then, we go through the 6 players that Jim Bowden has as the most likely to be dealt after interviewing 35 MLB executives. Plus, Brock answers three football questions in Blue 88.
