Daily Puck Drop: Dickert takes swipe at the Northwest. Time to treat players and coaches as widgets. Guests: Jim Moore. Lofa Tatupu. Handicapper, TroyWins.com. Chris Egan, KING 5

Friday’s Daily Puck Drop with Jason “Puck” Puckett featured Jim Moore, who stops by every Monday, Wednesday and Friday’s.  They were joined by Lofa Tatupu, who previewed the Seahawks game against the Minnesota Vikings.  PuckSports handicapper, TroyWins.com, previews the weekend of football games and Chris Egan, KING 5 wraps up the show as he always does. 

Puck and Jim open up the show talking about Jim’s idea of the Washington State Cougars hiring Rick Neuhiesel.  Does Puck think that would be a good idea?  If not Neuhiesel, than where do the Cougs go?  

Jake Dickert made some disparaging remarks about the recruiting footprint in the northwest at his introductory press conference at Wake Forest. Puck and Jim react to what he said.  WSU DT David Gusta entered the transfer portal and his father is upset at Puck because he played a pair of clips from Gusta’s appearance with Puck a month ago where the defensive tackle said he would never leave and enter the portal.  

Former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu joins Puck and Jim to talk Seahawks football and their upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings.  Before they talked Seahawks, Lofa commented on the state of college football and how the current system is broken.  Is Sunday’s game a must win for Seattle?  Lofa weighs in on that topic.  Can Seattle establish a running game against Minnesota, or will they have to rely on their aerial attack against the Vikings?  Finally, the each give their Highest Performer of the Weekend, brought to you by 1937Farms.com.   

PuckSports handicapper, TroyWins.com drops by to preview the slate of college and NFL games.  It was a good week for Troy, and he’s back to make you even more money this weekend! 

Before Jim leaves, they end his appearance with Friday Voicemails, where they hear from a Cougar supporter who defends Jake Dickert and Dick Vitale joins to bring some laughter to the boys after a rough week. 

Chris Egan, KING 5, joins Jason “Puck” Puckett for his weekly visit. Chis reacts to the news of the week involving the Cougars and agrees with Puck that college athletics as we remember it is long over and will never be the same which is sad and unfortunate.  

Egan details his long day on the pickleball court and how he was cramping up in his car on the way home to his families Christmas Party!  Egan also offers advice to Puck on what last minute gifts he should get for his wife with Christmas looming. 

Puck and Egan talk about their coaching jobs for middle school basketball and how difficult it is to have to cut a kid, but Egan offers up some great advice how to handle it and tells a great story about hard work and perseverance about coaching his soccer team this year. 

Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Treat college athletics, players and coaches as widgets.  They are just transactional pieces moving forward. Take the human emotion out of the equation moving forward because the coaches and players have.
