  Sep 18, 202610 min

  The Seahawks Won the Super Bowl. Now This Comedian Would Trade It All for a Mariners World Series

  Sep 18, 202640 min

  How much does your favorite team really mean to you? Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. For comedian Dustin Nickerson, the answer is pretty simple: given the choice between reaching another level of success in comedy and finally seeing the Seattle Mariners win a World Series, he's taking the Mariners. Dustin joins Trey Wingo for a conversation about his lifelong obsession with Seattle sports, why the communal experience of being a fan means so much to him and what it was like being in the building for Marshawn Lynch's legendary Beast Mode run against the Saints. He also explains how the Seahawks' second Super Bowl changed the way other fan bases react when Seattle fans complain about the Mariners. But sports are only part of Dustin's story. He and Trey get into Dustin's career in stand-up comedy, the years of grinding and bombing that went into building it, how a Looney Tunes bit unexpectedly went viral, and what people don't understand about the amount of work that goes into perfecting just a few minutes of comedy. They also talk about the NFL's takeover of the sports calendar, Seahawks fandom, Mariners heartbreak and why Dustin would choose a Mariners World Series over reaching Shane Gillis-level comedy success. Because careers come and go. In Dustin's mind, a championship lasts forever. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/WINGO Disclaimer: 18+ only. Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply.

  LIV Golfers Want Back on the PGA Tour. Brian Rolapp Isn't Giving Them an Easy Way In

  Sep 18, 202635 min

  If LIV Golf's biggest names eventually want back on the PGA Tour, Brian Rolapp is making one thing clear: there may not be an easy path waiting for them. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/WINGO Use code WINGO and get $25 when you trade $25. On Golf Live, the conversation turns to Rolapp's latest comments about potential returning members and what they could mean for Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and other players who left the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. When asked about players potentially returning, Rolapp outlined three principles that would guide the PGA Tour's approach: meritocracy, rules and fairness, and accountability and discipline. He also said the Tour is not currently considering another returning-member program like the previous opportunity offered to players. That raises the obvious question: what happens if some of LIV's biggest stars decide they want back? The discussion examines why returning players may have to earn their way back rather than simply being handed an immediate path onto the PGA Tour — particularly after players were previously given an opportunity to return and made their decisions. Then there's Jon Rahm. Recent reports surrounding a potential Rahm return were described as “inaccurate and premature.” It's that second word that caught Trey's attention. If there is nothing happening, why describe the reports as premature rather than simply inaccurate? Trey breaks down why that specific wording could matter, while the conversation explores what it may — and may not — tell us about what could eventually happen behind the scenes. For Rahm, Bryson and anyone else considering a potential PGA Tour return, the message from the discussion is straightforward: there may be a road back, but don't expect it to be an easy one.

  Patrick Mahomes With a Legitimate Running Back Is the NFL’s Worst Nightmare | Inside Football

  Sep 18, 202657 min

  Patrick Mahomes with a legitimate running game might be the NFL's worst nightmare. Sponsored by Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/r/InsideFB Use code InsideFB and get $25 when you trade $25. The Kansas City Chiefs entered the offseason with questions about an aging roster and what needed to change around Mahomes. Brett Veach responded by getting younger, rebuilding key areas of the roster and giving Kansas City something it hasn't consistently had alongside its quarterback: a dangerous running game. On Inside Football, Trey Wingo, Hall of Famer Cris Carter, former Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis and former Cardinals GM Steve Keim break down how Kansas City transformed its roster and why the early returns matter. Kenneth Walker immediately showed what a legitimate threat out of the backfield can add to this offense. Instead of asking Mahomes to manufacture everything himself, Kansas City can create offense on the ground, stay balanced and force defenses to account for another legitimate weapon. Steve breaks down why Walker fits what Andy Reid wants to do offensively and why Brett Veach deserves credit for turning over the roster without tearing down the foundation that made Kansas City successful in the first place. The Chiefs kept the pillars in Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones while getting dramatically younger around them. Now the question isn't whether Kansas City can survive a transition. It's what happens if the younger roster works while Mahomes is still Mahomes. Cris explains why the running game could become the “secret sauce” for this version of Kansas City and how a more balanced offense can change the way defenses are forced to play Mahomes. The Chiefs didn't start over. They rebuilt around the most important player in the organization. And if the running game is real, Kansas City may have found another way to make Patrick Mahomes even harder to defend. Kalshi: https://kalshi.com/R/InsideFB Disclaimer: 18+ only.
