On the 49ers podcast with Dave the 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is in camp with the 49ers, Kaepernick as you might remember tried to get his agent to work a deal with the 49ers so he could leave the team and move out of town and there were a lot of rumors swirling around the idea of Kaepernick being shopped and being traded to the Denver Broncos in the off season.

The Broncos had former quarterback Peyton Manning retire and now they had their former quarterback Brock Oswieler their back up went to Houston during free agency. The move for Kaepernick to Denver never happened and whatever the asking price was or what Denver was willing to pay it didn’t match up.

On the Raiders podcast with J Hawkes, Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio since he took over the team last season you saw the improvement this club has taken on and now the talk is that the Raiders are ready to be a playoff contender. They are expected to be better than a .500 club with all the improvements that they’ve made. The Raiders have the largest offensive front line in the NFL and have a run game that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has confidence in that can get them places.

There are numerous players in the league who would love to play for this Raiders offense and like what Michael Crabtree and the offense has done. Jihad Ward whose a second round draft pick brings a lot of speed on the offense and being a second round pick that catches the attention of Del Rio and he looks forward to getting Ward some looks into the offense.

NFL ‘awards’ Pro Bowl to Orlando for two years plus option

Orlando, Fla., is serious about getting into the football business, both at the college and professional levels.

The NFL announced that the 2017 Pro Bowl will be hosted by recently renovated Camping World Stadium, formerly known as the Citrus Bowl. But that’s not all. Because the Miami Dolphins are in the midst of a $450 million renovation of their current stadium, the Dolphins are already moving their Aug. 25 home exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons to Orlando.

The Falcons-Dolphins preseason tilt will mark the first time since 1997 that an NFL exhibition game has been played at Orlando.

Coinciding with the relocation of the Pro Bowl from Honolulu, the NFL’s all-star game will return to a less-confusing AFC vs. NFC format after three years of having teams chosen similar to a pickup game. Orlando will host the next two Pro Bowls and holds an option on a third year.

The NFL, which feels that interest in the Pro Bowl had dwindled in recent years, had until Tuesday to notify Hawaii of its intent to move the game, and did so this past Tuesday.

Among the cities that bid for the Pro Bowl were Honolulu, Sydney, Australia and Houston.

The University of Miami is also looking at the possibility of playing an early 2016 home game in Orlando if the Dolphins’ stadium upgrades aren’t completed on schedule. There’s a possibility, according to the Orlando Sentinel, that the Hurricanes’ football opener against Florida A&M could easily move to Camping World Stadium.

Florida State has already scheduled its opener against Ole Miss to be played in Orlando on Sept. 5.

Civic leaders in Orlando feel the $250 million stadium renovation makes their city a destination for major events.

That’s Amaury’s Podcast, News, and Commentary: Raiders meet with Vegas officials for possible move stadium and NFL approval still on the table

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On That’s Amaury’s Podcast, News and Commentary the Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis’ efforts to move the team just took an uptick. Davis will have meeting with UNLV and the Sands Group Hotel and Casino officials on Thursday. The issue of financing a new stadium in Las Vegas could be solved soon. If financing can be found and it’s likely with the casinos at hand that the reality of the Raiders moving to Sin City could happen. There is the issue of the NFL owners wanting to move the Raiders to Vegas as well and we’ll hear a lot more from the owners as this story develops. A recent financial report this week stated that Sands Group CEO and Chairman Sheldon Adelson and the Sands had a loss of 10 percent as announced on April 21. The group also said they suffered losses from the day before April 20th. The Sands which owns their newest casino The Macau recently finished below their expectations at five percent. The Macau is counting on their stock portfolio to help be a trend as their stock is up at plus 21 percent and trading is up at 15 times in 2016. The NFL if it was to consider Vegas for the Raiders would expect any group backing the team to have a stable financial backing before considering any move.

I remember when Vegas just had a few casinos and hosted the Rat Pack of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Don Rickles, Sammy Davis Jr, and Joey Bishop. Now it’s a Disneyland for adults and adding an NFL team will just sweeten the pot for the gambling mecca.

Every time you go to Vegas you see folks on tour from overseas from Germany, France, and many other countries as it’s becoming a destination and for it to have a NFL team coming there the league won’t oppose it and it’s not like it’s baseball it’s not 81 home games there, football only has ten home games per season. The Raiders are desperate to leave the Oakland Coliseum and it’s obvious that’s the Raiders are not going to get a new stadium built in Oakland and owner Mark Davis wants out of the city.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor: Kap’s agent says QB wants out of Santa Clara

SANTA CLARA–The latest scoop after San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly said on Thursday that 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick indicated to him that he wanted to stay with the club. He must had a change of heart between that conversation and yesterday as Kaepernick’s agent said that Kaepernick wants a trade and he has several options like Philadelphia, Washington, or Cleveland.

If you can say the 49ers organization is good at one thing they’re good at it’s screwing everything up and everything they’ve done with Kaepernick is in the service of screwing him over and as much as they’ve said they want to keep him around. The thing that’s really been happening since Kaepernick took over in the middle of the 2012 season and won the job as starter from former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith he got the team into the playoffs and got them into the Super Bowl.

They had another Championship game where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks they followed with a mediocre 8-8 season and then last season Kaepernick got yanked out of the line up after play six or seven games playing pretty poorly. At all times at least in the last few years especially this last season the 49ers were not particularly supportive of Kaepernick as a player.

Super Bowl 50 podcast with David Zizmor: Manning hoists trophy as Carolina is grounded and pounded

SANTA CLARA–This was expected to be a high scoring game but what we discounted and didn’t pay enough attention to is just how good the Denver Broncos defense was. The Broncos defense hasn’t been particularly good all season. People don’t focus on that because of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.

He’s clearly at the end of his career but there was no official announcement from Manning right after the Super Bowl on Sunday night. Whenever Manning is involved things tend to focus on him just a little bit. He had such a rough season. He wasn’t playing well all season having lost his fast ball, his curve ball, and pretty much having a slow ball.

The offensive struggle during the season Manning got hurt and back up quarterback Brock Osweiler had to take over for a few weeks and with Osweiler throwing for the Broncos with Manning out the thought at the time was the Broncos season was over and doomed. What everyone forgot to watch was how good the Broncos defense was.

Super Bowl 50 post game wrap up: Broncos defense leads Denver to SB50 title

After one quarter, the underdog Denver Broncos had a 10-point lead over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. By halftime, the Panthers’ trademark swagger was gone. At game’s end, the Broncos prevailed 24-10.

This was Denver’s third NFL championship and its first since 1999, when current Broncos executive John Elway was the quarterback.

The victory gave Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning his 200th career win for quarterback starts, and it was his second win in the big game. Manning is also the first quarterback to win Super Bowl titles with two different teams (Indianapolis in 2007).

The game’s MVP, however, belonged to linebacker Von Miller, who tormented Panthers quarterback Cam Newton all night. Miller finished with six tackles and 2 ½ sacks, two hurries and two forced fumbles.

The Panthers (17-2), Newton in particular, ran into a revised version of the old Orange Crush defense. Newton was sacked six times – four in the first half.

Denver (15-4) set a record with 194 yards gained, the fewest ever for a Super Bowl winner. But the Broncos defense throttled Carolina from the opening kickoff.

Manning was 13 of 23 for 141 yards. And returner Jordan Norwood took a Super Bowl-record 61-yard punt return that set up a Brandon McManus 33-yard field goal that closed out the first half scoring.

The defense provided Denver’s first touchdown when, two plays after Carolina lost a replay review, Miller stripped Newton of the ball, which was recovered by Malik Jackson on the goal line.

Denver took a 13-7 lead into halftime and the Panthers closed to gap to 16-10. But the Broncos defense took over. After Miller stripped Newton a second time to put the ball at the Panther 4,

C.J. Anderson scored a 2-yard touchdown run, followed by a 2-point conversion to make it a two-possession deficit for Carolina.
