Rumors are rampant during this time of year with the NFL Scouting Combine underway. The way of the world these days allows for misinformation to fly. Are we really to believe Demarcus Lawrence could retire this offseason, even though he still has time left on his contract? Plus, which sports do overtime right and where can they be fixed? Gregg Bell, The Tacoma News Tribune joins Ian from Indy to give us the lay of the land at the NFL Scouting Combine. Mike Macdonald told Gregg he was under the impression that Demarcus Lawrence, Jarran Reed and the veterans are planning on running it back for next year. John Schneider is focusing on the free agents to be, namely Kenneth Walker III and Riq Woolen, as their agents are in Indy as well. Schneider's staff will focus on the actual workouts taking place the rest of his week. Finally, as of now, how aggressive should we expect the Seahawks to be when it comes to trading picks with only 4 in the draft? The Daily Power Play! Touching on what Gregg said earlier, it sounds as though it'll be difficult to resign Ken Walker III. The salary cap is always something that can inhibit a signing like that, but the Seahawks have space this year. Which sport has the best overtime rules and which one has the worst? Ian gives his thoughts and how to fix the NFL in the most simple way. How about the Olympic Hockey overtime? Checking in on the Talkback and Text Line! Crosstalk with Dick Fain!
