Daily Puck Drop: Thanksgiving -5.5 favorite. Mariners not serious about winning. Good sign for Cal Raleigh? Guests: Jim Moore. Handicapper, TroyWins.com. Chris Egan, KING 5.

On Friday’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by his weekly Friday guests, Jim Moore, handicapper TroyWins.com and Chris Egan, KING 5. 

Puck and Jim open up the show talking about the differences between Thanksgiving and Christmas and Puck put Thanksgiving as a -5.5 point favorite over Christmas.  So, they debate the line and Puck gives his reasons why he prefers Thanksgiving and Jim says he’d take Christmas at +5.5. 

They jump into the discussion about the Mariners and the future of ROOT Sports and react to the Seattle Times article by Adam Jude and Ryan Divish that the team will once again operate on the network next season. However, there is not much clarity from the team and what exactly it will look like, which leaves many who work for the network in the dark.  Jim and Puck discuss how unfair it is for the M’s still keep their employees in the lurch of what their plans are. 

They wonder why the Mariners don’t just steal a play out of the Kraken playbook and go on local television and then offer a streaming service.   The Seattle Times also had a story about the wild success that the Kraken are having with their Kraken Hockey Network and so far early in the season it has been a runaway success compared to being on ROOT Sports the last few years.  

They also turn their attention to what the Mariners will do in free agency and the likelihood that they will sign Justin Turner and or Carlos Santana.  Puck doesn’t think a serious organization brings back a 40 and 39 year old, however, Jim disagrees and likes what Turner brings. 

PuckSports handicapper TroyWins.comjoins Puck and Jim to go over all the football bets for the weekend and at the end they give our their “Dogs of the Week.” 

Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly chat.  They navigate Thanksgiving food traditions, high school football playoffs, Thanksgiving vs. Christmas and they discuss the funeral of former sportscaster Tony Ventrella. 

Egan and Puck have a spirited back and forth over the debate of Christmas and Thanksgiving. Egan already has a Christmas tree up at his house so you know which way he’s going! 

The high school football quarterfinals are this week and Egan is covering his final Friday “Big Game of the Week.”  Egan shares his thoughts on who he thinks will win in the 4A and 3A levels. 

Finally, Egan goes over the menu for his Thanksgiving feast.
