Episode 284 – Mariners' Surge! Golf Prodigies, and NFL Draft BUZZZZ

RUNDOWN

 

Is 15-year-old Korn Ferry golfer Miles Russell comparable to Tiger Woods’ son Charlie? How do we move from Brian Adams’ music career to NFL draft week? “Everything we do, we do it for you.”

David Riley, newly appointed Washington State University’s 20th head basketball coach, joins Mitch to discuss his new leadership role. The humble, hall-of-famer shares insightful plans for the WSU basketball program, his coaching legacy, and his strategy moving forward as he takes over the Cougars’ program after a terrific season ending in the NCAA Tournament’s second round.

Mitch Levy, Joe Doyle, and Jason Churchill discuss the Seattle Mariners’ recent 5-1 stretch against the Reds and Rockies. They ponder the possibility of the Mariners moving to the National League to improve their playoff chances. Mariners walks spike, and tech takes a backseat; the pitchers show muscle, but relief continues to wobble.

Sam Weinman, the digital editorial director and author of Golf Digest, finally had his name drawn in the media lottery at The Masters after nearly 15 years of entries, allowing him the rare chance to play Augusta National. Overwhelmed by the support from colleagues and friends, he faced the challenge of not having his own clubs and borrowing a set.

In the Other Stuff Segment, Hotshot Scott and Mitch discuss serious topics, such as the incident where the Jaguars general manager allegedly passed gas during a news conference. Of course, you can’t talk about sports without mentioning Caitlin Clark, Jim Harbaugh, Blake Griffin, Dickie Betts and more!
