Third Pelton Brother Natalie Weiner helps us recap Sunday’s Seahawks loss at Green Bay and what it means going forward. Plus what to look for in the MOU, a Husky blowout and more.

UPDATE: This podcast was recorded before Seattle mayor Ed Murray resigned Tuesday after a fifth victim, this one a relative, came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse. While this news will have important implications for the Seattle arena debate that we will discuss in time, today our focus is on the horrible allegations against the mayor and our thoughts with his accusers in this difficult time for them.
