On the Sidelines S1E45: Demond Williams Leaving UW, Seahawks Playoff Preview, Kraken Catch Fire

D Jack is back from holiday to join Ethan just in time to discuss the biggest story in all of college sports: Demond Williams announcing his intention to enter the transfer portal just four days after signing a contract to stay at Washington. Ethan and D Jack debate Washington's decision to pursue legal action and breakdown how this case could change the future of college football forever. Ethan also explains why the real villain isn't the university or the player in this whole debacle. The Seahawks have the week off and deservedly so as they locked up the number one seed in the NFC with a franchise record 14th win in their regular season finale against the 49ers. The guys preview the playoffs, discuss the potential opponents ahead, and explain why the Legion of Boom comparisons this defense is getting are completely warranted. Just two weeks ago, the Kraken were tied for the least amount of points in the entire league. Now, they sit just one point out of first place in the division. Ethan and D Jack discuss the Kraken's resurgence led by a bounce back year from Philip Grubauer and a relentless pressure from the 4th line that's setting the rest of the team up for success.
