With Hotshot fanning the flames, the show pivots into the annual Prediction Show recap, replaying last year\u2019s bold Seahawks takes \u2014 including a seven-win forecast and Mike Macdonald job jeopardy \u2014 before grading every prediction and crowning a 2025 champion. Mitch revisits last year\u2019s Prediction Show, replaying Dave Grosby, Jason Puckett, and Danny O\u2019Neil\u2019s confident forecasts for 2025 \u2014 from Russell Wilson\u2019s salary and Geno Smith\u2019s future to Mike Macdonald\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019Neil on Julio Rodr\u00edguez, Cal Raleigh\u2019s contract, Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, Tiger Woods, NBA expansion, and Sam Darnold\u2019s future. From Oklahoma City\u2019s 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\u2019 Super Bowl championship before veering into breaking \u201cnews\u201d that Mitch left his iconic bell in Santa Clara \u2014 sparking a hilarious Rocky-inspired replacement plan involving Bunco night. The conversation shifts to spring training, where Slick sounds early alarms about the Mariners\u2019 pitching depth and offensive ceiling, while Mitch pushes back with optimism centered on Bryce Miller\u2019s return to form.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O\u2019Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst Professor Slick | Seattle sports commentator and longtime Seahawks fan favorite   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Doppelg\u00e4nger Meltdown, Birthday Roll Call, and the Prediction Show Reckoning 19:09 | Prediction Show Reckoning \u2014 Revisiting the Bold (and Brutal) 2025 Forecasts. 34:37 | Prediction Show Reckoning, Part II \u2014 Bold Claims, Wild Cards, and a Surprise Champion 49:03 | GUEST: Professor Slick; \u201cI Left My Bell in Santa Clara\u201d \u2014 Super Bowl Afterglow, Aging, and Early Mariners Anxiety 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: Jason Puckett wins 2025 Prediction Show title, David Crosby predicts Seahawks win 7 games and miss playoffs, Canadian curler Mark Kennedy profanity blowup at Sweden\u2019s Oscar Erickson over alleged rock-touching violation, Mitch\u2019s Winter Olympics viewing habits and curling being \u201chypnotic\u201d, 12th Man Rising floats Seahawks sale idea to Mackenzie Scott and Melinda Gates, NBA All-Star Weekend boredom and Mac McClung dunk contest absence, viral AI \u201cMichael Jordan\u201d dunk contest rant, Adam Silver expansion comments with Seattle + Las Vegas timeline frustration, Mariners nearly reaching World Series plus Seahawks Super Bowl creating \u201cSeattle sports trifecta\u201d potential with NBA return, Charlie Woods commits to Florida State over Stanford, Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker Disneyland teacups video, Tyson vs Mayweather tease, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm L\u00e6greid(?) emotional cheating confession post-medal interview, Joey Porter Sr. blasts Ben Roethlisberger as a bad teammate\/person, Stefon Diggs arraignment over alleged assault of personal chef, Britney Spears sells music catalog rights to Primary Wave for $200M RIPs: James VanDerBeek, Tracy Scroggins ","author_name":"Mitch Unfiltered","author_url":"https:\/\/mitchunfiltered.com","html":"
