Daily Puck Drop, Thu., May 8 - The American Pope Show of Record

On today’s Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes Mike Garafolo, NFL Network and Brad Adam, ROOT Sports to the show.  Puck opens up talking about the Mariners ninth straight series win and marvels how they keep finding new and different ways to win the game.  Despite giving up three runs in the first inning, Puck loved the way Bryan Woo competed.  Despite it being early, Puck feels the A.L. West will come down to the A’s and the Mariners.  

Mike Garafolo, NFL Network joins the show and we have breaking news!  A new pope is announced and he’s an American!  Puck suggests changes to sports that he wants the Pope to get involved in.  Puck suggests to Mike that the Pope calls up Roger Goodell and have him change the kickoff rule back to the original kickoff.  Puck also wants him to ban the Tush Push and in baseball he would like him to get rid of the dropped third strike.   After they get through the Pope, Mike addresses the Steelers trade of George Pickens to Dallas, the Eagles sign tight end Dallas Goedert, when will Aaron Rogers made a decision on his future?  Did the Ravens handle the Justin Tucker release news properly?  Lastly, how close are the 49ers and Brock Purdy to a new deal that may pay him close to $60 million a year?

Puck switches gears back to baseball and has Brad Adam of ROOT Sports on to discuss another series win for the Mariners, plus what was baseball like in Sacramento?  Brad says the park is good for fans, but bad for the players.  Why is Cal Raleigh so comfortable in tense situations and what can Julio learn from him?  George Kirby is getting closer to coming back, when he does return, will Bryce Miller find himself on the IL?  The Blue Jays are coming to town this weekend, it’s time to introduce the new Tariff menu and section! 

Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   It’s clear to see the job that Edgar Martinez has done with this team offensively. Puck says Edgar has simply freed them up mentally.
