We check in on our brackets - how great is the NCAA tournament? What are the circumstances for teams that pay a ton of money to make it as a one and done in the dance? The Seahawks are set at wide receiver. We also have news on the Climate Pledge Arena ownership group, as Samantha Holloway will become majority owner.  Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join Ian to preview opening day and the season ahead of us. The guys have confidence in the 2026 season, which according to Nathan, feels a lot closer to reality than we've heard in the past. How does this feel as a 'most anticipated season' compared to years' passed? Also, how are we all going to figure out how to watch this team on TV?  We finish things off with Chris and Nathan to discuss our expectations for the Mariners this season. Nathan is high on their potential to with back to back AL West Championships, but doesn't see it to be quite as thrilling as 2025. Chris doesn't have expectations, he has demands - and that is to go to the World Series. The guys tell us what the team means to them.  Ian shares what opening day in baseball means to him. We may be on the precipice of big news when it comes to the Sonics' return.
