    Ian had a panic moment this morning, but things are all ok now. Pete Carroll is back in the league with the Raiders and Ian contends he's at least a borderline hall of famer, only considering how difficult it is for coaches to get in these days. Ian sees him as a Bonafide HOFer. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny was surprised by Pete Carroll's hiring in Las Vegas - not because he's back in the league, but where he ended up, as Chicago seemed like a more likely fit. It will be difficult for Pete to assemble a staff with so many of those in his coaching tree with current jobs. Who could be a target for him? Danny doesn't see Pete slowing down or changing his approach. Will Russell Wilson end up in Vegas? Finally, Danny gives his thoughts on Ichiro in the Hall of Fame. Ian, Anders and Jess thoughts on whether Pete Carroll will find success in Vegas. Stewart Mandel, The Athletic wraps up the college football season and starts with the College Football Playoff, which he deems a success for not only the 12 teams in it, but for college football as a whole. The NIL numbers are going to continue to rise and retention will become more and more difficult.

Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop join us and avoid talking Mariners by begrudgingly talking Notre Dame football for a minute. We get to the nothingness that has been the Mariners' winter.

Chris doesn't want people to look down on Donovan Solano, despite the disappointment over the lack of a bigger move. Nathan thinks it's cool that he's here in Seattle and that the Mariners are better with him than without him. The only downside is that this likely means Justin Turner isn't coming back.
