Daily Puck Drop, Tue., Mar. 25 - Debut of The Sportspit and Cal Raleigh gets paid!

Tuesday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett starts off the show teasing a brand new podcast that debuts on Wednesday called The Sportspit that features past KJR hosts and longtime friends, Steve Sandmeyer and Matt “Stretch” Johnson.  Puck plays a five minute teaser clip of the show.  The full podcast comes out on Wednesday and initially will be available to all, but eventually you’ll need to join Puck’s Posse to get full access to the podcast.  Puck welcomed his weekly guests, Danny Kelly of The Ringer to discuss the lead up to the NFL draft, Seahawks adding to their wide receiver “Lunch Pail” group, no offensive line movement, Cam Ward going # 1, difficulty of drafting a quarterback and what Seattle does at 18.   After Danny departs, John Canzano from JohnCanzano.com drops by to discuss breaking news at Stanford with new GM Andrew Luck firing football coach Troy Taylor.  Plus, is college basketball in danger of losing its March Madness and how much is NIL truly factoring in?  Some universities are feeling the financial pressure of the new look college athletics and are dropping down in divisions in order not to pay their athletes. Would a school like Washington State do that?  John paid a visit to Gonzaga over the weekend and learned new financial details of the agreement with the Zags and the new Pac-12.  Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?”  Puck reacts to the breaking news that Cal Raleigh has signed a six-year, $105M dollar extension with the Mariners.
