Furness Show 8-16: Mariners talk, Tim Benz, Danny O'Neil and Rob Rang

We made new friends today. The Mariners lost some, as we saw something unprecedented from the fans yesterday. It's been a long time since we've seen that type of emotion. People seem done with the team, and they're almost to the point of apathy. Tim Benz, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review joins us to preview the Mariners series with the Pirates, give us the latest on Russell Wilson with the Steelers and tells us whether he truly sees Brandon Aiyuk coming to town. You can't blame T-Mobile Park for offensive issues. Could things be changing with Geno Smith's contract? Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe gives his honest reaction to the Mariners latest downturn. As comically dismal we've seen them perform, Danny isn't letting it stop him from rooting for his team. Where do we place the blame for lack of success? Danny dives into the future for Geno Smith. We used a lot of negative adjectives regarding the Mariners yesterday and it was therapeutic for all. Ian tells you why this isn't just a T-Mobile issue and has the numbers to back it up. Bad news for those expecting a one-stop-shop for sports viewing in the near future. Rob Rang, FOX SPORTS tells us what he's looking for in the preseason from a scout's perspective. Byron Murphy stands out the most with the Seahawks right now. Rob gives us a rundown of how the Seahawks' roster might shape out.
