Las Vegas Raiders Tony Renteria:
#1 Can Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins continue his strong start and keep the Chiefs’ defense from taking control of the game?
#2 Can Ashton Jeanty establish the Raiders’ running game against Kansas City and take pressure off Cousins?
#3 Will Brock Bowers be able to exploit the Chiefs’ coverage and become a major factor in the passing game?
#4 Can Maxx Crosby and the Raiders’ defensive front generate enough pressure to disrupt Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense?
#5 Can Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor make enough big plays on the outside to help the Raiders keep pace with Kansas City’s explosive offense?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast Rich Perez:
#1 It was all about the back ups, the second stringers and up and comers in Sunday’s game at Allegiant Stadium between the Kansas City Chiefs (6-11) and Las Vegas Raiders (3-14).
#2 The Raiders who led for most of the game couldn’t even hold onto the lead falling behind with 1:01 left in the game 12-11 after the Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker hit a 41 yard field goal. The Raiders on the kickoff ended up getting good field position with eight seconds left and kicker Daniel Carlson booted a 60 yard field goal as the Raiders beat the Chiefs 14-12.

NFL podcast Charlie O Sun Nov 30, 2025
#1 What does Chicago Bears’ upset win over Philadelphia Eagles — including a massive 255-yard combined rushing effort — mean for their playoff chances this season?
#2 With injuries piling up across the league (the Baltimore Ravens’Chandler Martin’s season-ending ACL tear), how are team depth and roster management becoming more critical as they head into the final stretch?
#3 Kansas City Chiefs just got graded a “B” for a narrow loss — what does this signal about the sustainability of their recent playoff-level standards under pressure?
#4 Charlie, does the firing of Las Vegas Raiders assistant coach Chip Kelly really underscore head coach Pete Carroll’s goal of building up the team. Does that leave a bitter taste in Carroll’s mouth as he had no real say in Kelly’s firing? The Raiders lost another tough one again to the Los Angeles Chargers 31-14.
#5 For teams with rookie or newly returned quarterbacks such as the Cleveland Browns Shedeur Sanders, how important is coaching support and defense-driven wins in shaping their long-term future this season?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast Tony Renteria:
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith threw for only 67 yards and the Raiders had 29 offensive plays getting shutout in a 31-0 route at Arrowhead Stadium in Kanas City on Sunday. Smith went 10-16 on passing.
The Raiders also suffered on the run game as running back Ashton Jeanty carried only six times for 21 yards and the Chiefs defense kept the Raiders run game contained all game long. The Raiders receiving yards was not much better Tre Tucker caught only five passes for 33 yards.
The Raiders just couldn’t get in the end zone all game long and with only 29 offensive opportunities it turned out that getting in the red zone would be a dream in a game of three and outs.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had all day to throw the Raiders defense were prevented to get past scrimmage to get at Mahomes who went 25-26, 286 yards, and three touchdowns.
The Raiders hope for better luck after a bye next week and their next game Sun Nov 2 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas against the 4-3 Jacksonville Jaguars for a 1:05pm PT kick off.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:
#1 Amaury, You worked the Sharks Spanish telecast for Telemundo between the Pittsburgh Penguins and San Jose Sharks on the scoreboard a message during the first period intermission that read “SJ SHARKS FANS/LOVE ICE !!/GET ‘EM BOYZ !” The Sharks ended up apologizing and fans said that it was bad timing to have that message up there on the same day as Hispanic Heritage night?
#2 Amaury, do you think that message was something that was written and put into the production computer and the operator forgot to take it out or was there more underlying motives at work?
#3 The fact that this took place on Hispanic Heritage night at the rink during a local telecast that you were working how does the Sharks fix this beyond the public apology they put out? Would televising more games in Spanish or start broadcasting more games on radio in Spanish to reach the Hispanic community smooth things over? The Sharks do only one game in Spanish per year will they do more in light of what happen?
#4 Amaury turning to football, talk about Sunday’s game with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders were absolutely unable to execute on both sides of the football and just couldn’t get on the scoreboard by way of field goals or get in the red zone. The Chiefs just shut anything the Raiders wanted to execute down with a 31-0 loss.
#5 The World Series starts on Friday with the Los Angeles Dodgers once again having a shot at winning the whole thing. The Dodgers behind superstar Shohei Ohtani who threw for six innings, striking out ten and hitting three home runs against the Milwaukee Brewers is a once in a lifetime offer for anyone who had been watching that NLCS game 4.
