Furness Show 11-14: Stewart Mandel, Corbin Smith and Brandon Funston

The Ian Furness Show

Dave Simms is heading to New York in a report that has him replacing John Sterling on the Yankees radio broadcast. Ian recalls what a great broadcaster he's been in Seattle. Stewart Mandel, The Athletic CFB Insider joins Ian to discuss the news that John Mateer has seven-figure offers in the NIL, despite not being in the transfer portal. Is the transfer portal leveling the playing field within the power four or across the landscape? Plus the latest on the CFP rankings, who can rise and who will fall? Ian reacts to what Stewart had to say regarding the CFP. Corbin Smith, Seahawks Maven and Locked on Seahawks joins Ian to take a look ahead at the Seahawks game this weekend against the Niners. Corbin has a great update on Abe Lucas, tells us what he thinks about the offensive line right now and finally, discusses the linebacking change we saw earlier this week. Is Geno Smith the problem in Seattle? There ae other issues facing the Seahawks. However, next year's draft class is not one where we expect to find the future at quarterback. Bottom line is, they have very good pieces in place, so we're not looking at a total rebuild in the near future. Brandon Funston, The Athletic Fantasy Expert kicks off the unofficial start of the weekend. He answers all of our fantasy questions - as well as yours.
