Episode 371 – Grading the 2025 Prediction Show

RUNDOWN

 

Episode 371 opens with Mitch’s Saturday night unraveling after watching Song Sung Blue and realizing the Buddy Holly–impersonating character played by Michael Imperioli is allegedly his celebrity twin — a comparison he loudly rejects as it derails the entire movie. With Hotshot fanning the flames, the show pivots into the annual Prediction Show recap, replaying last year’s bold Seahawks takes — including a seven-win forecast and Mike Macdonald job jeopardy — before grading every prediction and crowning a 2025 champion.

Mitch revisits last year’s Prediction Show, replaying Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O’Neil’s confident forecasts for 2025 — from Russell Wilson’s salary and Geno Smith’s future to Mike Macdonald’s job security and a Seahawks Super Bowl run no one predicted. The segment tracks hits, misses, and wildly wrong calls, including gloomy seven-win projections and John Schneider pink slips that never came. With halftime scoring tallied and bragging rights on the line, the stage is set for Episode 372’s official crowning of the 2025 Prediction Champion.

The second half of the 2025 Prediction Show grading delivers more swings and misses as Mitch revisits bold calls from Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O’Neil on Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh’s contract, Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, Tiger Woods, NBA expansion, and Sam Darnold’s future. From Oklahoma City’s title run to Pete Carroll playoff dreams and wild card chaos involving Jeff Bezos and the Kraken, the predictions range from razor-close to wildly off base.

Mitch and Professor Slick bask in the lingering glow of the Seahawks’ Super Bowl championship before veering into breaking “news” that Mitch left his iconic bell in Santa Clara — sparking a hilarious Rocky-inspired replacement plan involving Bunco night. The conversation shifts to spring training, where Slick sounds early alarms about the Mariners’ pitching depth and offensive ceiling, while Mitch pushes back with optimism centered on Bryce Miller’s return to form.

Episode 370 – World Champions

RUNDOWN

 

Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 370 trying to process the strange calm that followed the Seahawks’ 29–13 Super Bowl win, debating whether a championship can feel almost too controlled. The conversation reflects on Seattle’s sustained success over the past two decades, Sam Darnold’s improbable Super Bowl run, and why early power rankings already underrating the Seahawks feel laughably disconnected from reality.

Ray Roberts joins Mitch Levy to explain why he never wavered in his Super Bowl prediction, breaking down how Seattle’s physical dominance, defensive structure, and commitment to the run made the Patriots non-threatening from the opening drive. Ray details why the game was effectively decided by halftime, how Kenneth Walker and the offensive line wore New England down, and why this Seahawks team’s rare level of connectedness separated them from past contenders.

Jason Puckett joins Mitch to break down why the Seahawks’ Super Bowl 60 win unfolded almost perfectly according to script, from defensive domination to a controlled, mistake-free performance by Sam Darnold. Puck explains how Seattle’s pass rush, disguised coverages, and relentless pressure overwhelmed New England, while Kenneth Walker’s patience and explosiveness anchored the offense.

Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for a celebratory Seahawks No-Table following Seattle’s 29–13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl 60. The conversation looks ahead to roster decisions and whether this Mike Macdonald defense deserves comparison to the Legion of Boom.

Mitch reconnects with Professor Slick to relive the Seahawks’ Super Bowl 60. Slick reflects on where this title ranks among the greatest moments of his sports-fan life, why national media missed the story entirely, and how Seattle’s defense and Kenneth Walker controlled the game from start to finish.

Calling in from Tokyo after travel chaos rerouted him from Sapporo, Danny O’Neil joins Mitch to break down the Seahawks’ 29–13 Super Bowl 60 win. The conversation dissects Seattle’s defensive dominance, Michael Dickson’s hidden-impact special teams performance, Devin Witherspoon’s breakout night, and how this unit compares stylistically — but not structurally — to the Legion of Boom.
