On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets who do battle in game 6 tonight at Dodger Stadium. The Mets avoided being eliminated on Friday night after they held back the Dodgers 12-6 to move within a game of LA 3-2.

#2 Game 6 tonight the Dodgers have for the most part in this series had the pitching that had command over the Mets. Like in games 1, 3 and 4. It’s when the Mets have those break out games they can score in bunches. Will the Dodgers pitching be one of the biggest factors for the Mets in this game 6?

#3 Turning to pro football the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers met for the first time since the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are came in hot undefeated and are now 6-0 and had the 49ers number Sunday with a ten point win 28-18. The Chiefs defense held off 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers offense Sunday.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders continue to struggle. Since former Raider Devante Adams expressed his unhappiness with the Raiders before moving onto the Jets the Raiders seems to have fallen in the doldrums. Las Vegas has lost their game against the Los Angeles Rams today at So Fi Stadium 20-15. Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew just couldn’t get any offense going 15-34 for 154 and was intercepted three times.

#5 The future Las Vegas A’s unveiled renderings this week for their new Bally’s ballpark for the Vegas Strip targeted for the 2028 season. With the Tropicana imploded and the A’s playing in the interim in Sacramento the fact still remains that A’s owner John Fisher still has not come up with his share of the $1.5 billion for the construction costs for the A’s Vegas park.

I’m not kidding.” said Jones

#2 The deal to get Adams was based on a restructured contract. Details of Adams contract were not forthcoming but it’s believed that adjustments for his 2025 and 2026 contracts are in the works.

#3 Adams who didn’t play in week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Raiders. Adams most likely will play for the Jets this Sunday against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

#4 Talk about some of the circumstances that made Adams unhappy when he was at the Raiders. There was little doubt that he had a falling out with head coach Antonio Pierce.

#5 With Adams joining the Jets there is no doubt the re-union between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rogers is something that the Jets and Rogers are looking forward to.

Raiders dropped their second straight game; losing to Steelers, 32-13, in Sin City

By Michael Roberson

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) rolled Craps against the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2), 32-13, on a Sunday Afternoon in the Silver State.

The Raiders fell two games below .500, while failing to stop the Steel City boys from the Quaker State from controlling the scoreboard and the stadium 32-13. There was an overwhelming presence by the well traveled Western Pennsylvania Steelers’ Faithful,, as well as several hundred, to thousands of transplants.

Pittsburgh got on the board first with a 52-yard field goal by kicker Chris Boswell.. The Steelers first drive slowed down, and they settled for a FG. Within the first five minutes of the game, the Black & Goal led the Silver and Black 3-0.

Within the last five minutes of the quarter, the Raiders responded. A three yard TD run by running back Alexander Mattison put the home team up 7-3. That was also the score after the first 15 minutes expired.

The second stanza was all Pittsburgh, as Justin Fields and Boswell provided all the scoring. Boswell booted a 49-yarder, and Fields converted a three yard keeper. At the midpoint of the contest, the Keystone State guests were up 12-7. Justin Fields used both modes of operation, as he passed for 83 yards and rushed for 43.

The second half was more of the same, with Pittsburgh totally controlling the third quarter, adding ten more points to their total. Boswell hit another FG through the uprights (37), and the Steelers led 15-7 at that point of the game. About five minutes later, running back Najee Harris scampered into the the end zone from 36 yards from scrimmage. 22-7, Steelers after 3/4 of the battle was over..

The final quarter was perpetual steel driving, as an interception by the disrespectful Pennsylvanians was immediately converted into more points. Justin Fields decided to end all the nonsense and rush to pay dirt with another keeper (7). Steelernation went up by 22 points, 29-7.

There was still a lot of the quarter left, and the Raiders managed to use that to their advantage. Aidan O’Connell tossed a nine yard TD pass to wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson to bring the deficit to 16 points (29-13), because they failed on the two point conversion.

The Steelers had more ammunition as Boswell used his leg again to increase the lead. With just under four mints left in the game, Pittsburgh’s kicker made another one from 36 yards. The Steelers led 32-13, and would hang on to that margin until the final whistle, after 60 minutes of regulation time.

The Raiders are next in action Sunday, October 20 in Los Angeles, to take on the Rams at 1:05 PM PDT on CBS. The Steelers fly cross-country to host the New York Jets, also on the 20th at 8:15 PM EST.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Did Pierce lose the locker room over social media like on Adams trade suggestion

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Devante Adams running Las Vegas Raiders addresses the media back on Jul 24, 2024 seeks a trade possibly to the New York Jets and could be out of Las Vegas as soon as Tue Oct 8, 2024 (AP file photo)

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, did Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce lose the locker room over the social media like suggesting that wide receiver Devante Adams should be traded?

#2 Adams rumors on Monday that it’s best that he should be dealt to quarterback Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets should be done as soon as possible.

#3 Was Adams sentiments about asking for a trade reflect the locker room are there are any other Raiders players who feel likewise to Adams.

#4 The Raiders absolutely got clobbered on Sunday against the Denver Broncos in Denver on Sunday 34-18. It just seemed like the Raiders never got tracked and quarterback Gardner Minshew struggled to get yardage all game long. Was the Raiders performance just a matter of having a bad game or has Pierce simply lost his players due to all the dysfunction over the Adams trade request?

#5 The Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday. The Steelers lost their second game of the season to the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 last Sunday. The Steelers defense let down in the fourth quarter allowing two touchdowns in the loss. The Raiders are coming off a total defensive breakdown against the Broncos last Sunday how do you see the Steelers and Raiders matching up for this Sunday.

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast:

#1 Rich, the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos were knotted up in a 10-10 tie and went to half time with a 13-10 Denver lead it looked like this game was going to be a close game.

#2 In the second half of the game the Broncos started adding points with when Bo Nix in the third quarter hit wide receiver Jaleel McLaughlin for a four yard touchdown as the Broncos broke away with a ten point 20-10 lead at 7:01.

#3 In the fourth quarter the Broncos at 10:12 Nix took a one yarder in to make it 27-10. With just 10 minutes left Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce knew there wasn’t much time left when your 17 points down.

#4 The Broncos came right back with another touchdown at 8:14 when Nix threw for a nine yard touchdown to wide out Josh Reynolds making it 34-10.

#5 The Raiders Ameer Abdullah scored on a three yard carry with 4:01 left in the game. The Raiders Alexander Mattison carried for a two point conversion. Making it 34-18.

#6 The Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sun Oct 13th. The Steelers are 3-1 and are one of the best in the league. They did lose their first game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday Sep 29th in a close one 27-24. For the Raiders they just have to forget this one today and get ready for Pittsburgh next week.

Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O: Universities boycott SJSU’s Volleyball games with transgender on Spartans roster; Cal gets some love on Game Day from ESPN; plus more news

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

San Jose State Spartans outside right side hitter Blaire Fleming (3) has been the focus of being a transgender playing on a women’s volleyball team. Three universities have boycotted against playing SJSU and did not disclose the reasons why. (SJSU photo)

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 San Jose State Spartans volleyball has been in the spotlight over transgender outside right side hitter Blaire Fleming. Three universities have boycotted playing SJSU, Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming. The three universities did not disclose a reason for boycotting the games against SJSU. Fleming teammate Brooke Slusser has joined a lawsuit against the NCAA regarding safety issues after finding out that Fleming was transgender. How much of a conundrum is this going to cause the NCAA with teams boycotting and players filing lawsuits.

#2 Charlie, it was a special day for Cal football on Saturday as they hosted the Miami Hurricane. It was the first time in the school’s history that they host ESPN Game Day. The event went down as a big deal as Cal made the national scene. Cal had gone 3-1 previous to their game with Miami and got some love from the World Wide Sports Leader.

#3 Vice President Kamala Harris on her podcast “All is Smoke” expressed sadness about Oakland losing all it’s professional sports teams which included Golden State Warriors, Oakland Raiders and Oakland A’s. Harris was joined by former Warriors Harrison Barnes and Stephen Jackson on the podcast. Harris said “it breaks my heart.” The vice president said she feels sadness each time she passes the Oakland Coliseum when she flies in and out of Oakland Airport.

#4 It was mentioned on a local talk show that it’s 98% certain that the A’s will end up at Sutter Health Field but it’s the uncertain 2% that you have to look out for. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that A’s president David Forst said “I don’t think we have a 100% certainty.” even though renovations have been made in the dugouts the artificial turf has not been installed at all. The players of other teams behind the scenes have told their agents they do not want to play on artificial turf and using a minor league park would not be practical for big league players. According to A’s manager Mark Kotsay, “no decision (to go) from grass to turf has been made.” Charlie you were there on the last game in Oakland I know you said it’s a done deal in Sacramento but there is doubt about Sutter Health and the players really are leaning on finishing up at the Coliseum before moving to Vegas.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals (1-3) kick off against the San Francisco 49ers (2-2) at Levi Stadium. The Cardinals are a struggling bunch they had their heads handed to them by the Washington Commanders last week. Cardinal quarterback Kyler Murray was 16-22 for 142 yards, and one touchdown. The 49ers after losing two straight games defeated the New England Patriots last Sunday 30-13 and ran up the score on the Pats. Will the 49ers make easy work of the Cardinal today?

#6 The Las Vegas Raiders just got by the Cleveland Browns last week 20-16. After holding a 20-10 win the Raiders in the fourth quarter couldn’t get any offense going and the Browns returned a fumble for a touchdown but it wasn’t enough as Las Vegas came away with a four point win at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong: Goff, Lions are the real deal; Bills Von Miller felony assault no charges have been assessed; plus more NFL news

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff throws football into the stands after carrying for a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks in the second half at Ford Field in Detroit on Tue Oct 1, 2024 (AP News photo)

On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong:

#1 Former Cal quarterback and Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw a perfect game against the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday when he went 18-18 without throwing a incomplete pass, in a 42-29 win. Goff had such a great afternoon he threw for two touchdowns and caught a touchdown pass.

#2 Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the league’s personal conduct policy for third degree felony assault for assaulting a pregnant woman on Nov 30, 2023. Miller could face two to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Miller has posted a $5,000 bond. Miller and the woman have been together for seven years. No charges have been filed against Miller. Miller said the case is closed from information received from Miller’s legal representatives.

#3 There is dissension amongst the Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pierce and wide receiver Devante Adams. Adams wants out of Las Vegas and coach Antonio Pierce had liked a social media post that talked about a possible trade with Adams. This should make for a dysfunctional group that could fracture the players if things don’t take hold internally at the Raiders as they head to Denver to play the Broncos this Sunday.

#4 Jessica lets take a look at a couple NFL games from this last Sunday. The Raiders were able to squeeze by the Cleveland Browns after holding a 20-10 lead the Browns in the fourth quarter were able to score six but ended up losing to the Raiders 20-16. The Raiders were able to score in the second and third quarters to hold on for the win.

#5 The San Francisco 49ers after losing two straight games came back last Sunday and defeated the New England Patriots. The 49ers kept the Patriots offense to a low roar the Pats scored only one touchdown and the 49ers scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The 49ers ended up beating the Patriots 30-13 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara.
