    Congrats to Andy Reid, Specifically

    Congrats to Andy Reid, Specifically

    The big game started slowly but ended up going into OT (and almost double OT!) We are equal parts happy for Andy Ried and sad for Kyle Shanahan. But, wait, why didn't they just go for it in regulation with 6 seconds left? Plus other hi lights, Ben loves Dunkin', trick play breakdowns and Katie loved Usher. Thank you to each of you for listening and thank you for all of your support. A big thanks also to our sponsors for a great season. That's it for us this year, we'll see you for the draft. Go Hawks!!

    Big Game Preview

    Big Game Preview

    On this week's episode don't call him a "Super Bowl Participant" call him an "NFC Champ". Lofa and Brett reminisce about their favorite Super Bowl memories and that time Tom Brady stole Lofa's power. They eventually get to the game this weekend and our new head coach Mike McDonald, but Brett would rather talk about the time the ball went over Payton's head. Go Hawks!!

    We're Rooting For Donna

    We're Rooting For Donna

    Well, we finally know who's playing in the Big Game. Were the Ravens robbed? What happened to the Lions? Is Travis Kelce the best Tight End of all time? The Niners are going to have to play a perfect defensive game in order to win, and Patrick Mahomes is going to keep that chin strap loose! Really, we're just rooting for mama Donna at this point! Go Hawks!

    Cliff Avril

    Cliff Avril

    Cliff Avril joins the pod in his first interview since the Hawks let go of Coach Pete. What does he think about the decision? Where should we go from here? And what does this team need to do to make deep playoff runs? Plus, what's Dan Campbell really like? Who will be the League MVP and whos going to the Super Bowl? Go Hawks!!

    Visors Up

    Visors Up

    Last week was the worst week in Seattle, and the best week in Michigan. The Huskies hired a coach, but Brett hates his visor. Lofa calls for Dan Quinn to be our new coach, and can Jamal Adams stay healthy next season? Can a good coach win anywhere?? We look around the league at the rest of the matchups this weekend and doesn't MaHomes look silly in his helmet!? Go Hawks!!

    Thanks Pete!

    Thanks Pete!

    Lofa and Brett discuss the greatest NFL coach on the available job market. Where will his statue be? How did Pete coach differently in College vs the pros? Will the Hawks get new uniforms? What is your favorite Pete-ism? And where should the Seahawks be looking to hire next? He was always the biggest cheerleader on the sidelines, and he taught us to always compete. Thank you Pete. Go Hawks!!

    Go Dawgs!

    Go Dawgs!

    The Hawks won the game, but we're out of the playoffs hunt, and Lofa's mad at the Bears! We recap the season which actually had some good wins but overall will be remembered with mostly missed opportunities. Plus, is Pete sticking around? What do we actually want? And finally, the Huskies season comes down to what happens tonight. Go Dawgs! Go Hawks!!

    Take Care Of Business

    Take Care Of Business

    The Seahawks had a tough loss yesterday but we're not out of the playoffs yet. The refs are as inconsistent as our defense. Pickens had the play of the game! And Lofa gives his opinion about the situation with number 3 in Denver. Go Hawks!

    A Very Football Christmas

    A Very Football Christmas

    The Seahawks played the Titans last night. Join us for a pre-recorded Christmas special. We don't know the outcome of the game, but we do know the definition of the word Yuletide! Plus, what is on your Seahawks Christmas list and what the heck is a whipped cream shot?? Go Hawks!!

    David Boclair

    David Boclair

    Lofa and Brett are joined by host of Bleav in Titans - David Boclair. This Sunday is a must-win game for the Hawks and David seems convinced that the Seahawks will have an easy Christmas Eve game but we're not so sure. They've got an offensive line that could use some work, we've got Tyler Locket (doing Tyler Locket things?) and DK... though we're not sure who's going to play quarterback. Plus a deep dive on Derek Henry and what would Lofa name is own NFL team? Go Hawks!!

    MNF Eagles Review

    MNF Eagles Review

    Monday night's win against the Eagles was a total team effort. Our backup Drew proved he could be trusted in clutch moments. DK had a DAY! and just look what happens when we stick to the run (just how Pete likes it). Plus, a look around the league. Detroit is looking good, and who's gonna stop the Niners!? Go Hawks!!

    Mike Gill - Eagles Preview

    Mike Gill - Eagles Preview

    Host of Bleav in Eagles, Mike Gill joins Lofa and Brett to preview the upcoming Monday Night game against the Eagles. They've lost 7 straight games to the Hawks, and they've got a bunch of new players, which makes us feel good but we're careful to not get too confident. How will the defense change depending on who's playing QB? The match up of Carter and Spoonman has us excited! Plus, Lofa shares some memories from Philly. Go Hawks!!

    Beat The Eagles

    Beat The Eagles

    On this episode of the Take 12 Podcast we talk Hiesman Trophy snubs, last Sunday's valiant effort from our back up quarterback, and why we can't stop the Niners offense - no one can. Plus, has Lofa ever Suplexed a dude? Go Hawks!

    Nick Bellore

    Nick Bellore

    Nicholas Lalonde Bellore returns to the show to preview the upcoming Niners/Seahawks matchup. What is the mood in the building? What are the Hawks going to do differently this time? Would Lofa challenges Nick to run the 40 and will Nick get some carries on Sunday? We picked him up on fantasy, we hope so! Plus, how many 9 year olds would it take to take down an NFL player? Go Hawks!!

    Get It Done!

    Get It Done!

    Lofa and Brett confirm, Geno had his best game against the Cowboys, but we still lost. We (kinda) complain about the refs. We really complain about field goals. Plus, some good news - bad news. and Lofa tells us where HE would rank the remaining college teams. Go Hawks!!

    Beat Dallas!

    Beat Dallas!

    Lofa and Brett have to talk about the difficult Thanksgiving game. Brett's got beef Tommy Devito and his stolen celly. Plus, the Huskies are undefeated! Our Seahawks might stink, but we're still finding the bright spots. Go Hawks!

    Charbonnet Is The Way

    Charbonnet Is The Way

    We're disappointed after Sunday's match up, but mostly just dealing with rough audio as we are recording away from the studio. Our Hawks lost K9 and Geno and tried to get too tricky. Do the Seahawks really get more penalty calls than other teams? Charbonnet was the bright spot and we're trying not to think about Jason Myers. Plus, a quick look at the upcoming 49ers game. Go Hawks!!

    Jake Ellenbogen

    Jake Ellenbogen

    Bleav in Rams host Jake Ellenbogen join Lofa and Brett to preview the upcoming Rams v Seahawks game over the weekend. They're pretty equally matched, but the Rams get a few weapons back this week (Stafford, anyone?) but the MUST WIN. Plus we do a deep dive on Witherspoon and keep your eye out for some more Bobo Mojo! Go Hawks!!

    Sidney Rice (Almost)

    Sidney Rice (Almost)

    Brett and Lofa celebrate last weekends victory with their pal Sidney Rice (almost) there were technical difficulties and he'll be rescheduled. Meanwhile, how about those Seattle Seahawks!? Brett was sweating when Jason stepped up to the ball, but Lofa had all the confidence in him. Plus we get the feels talking about Josh Dobbs. Go Hawks!!
