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

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.

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 Dave, San Francisco 49ers Fred Warner returned a interception for a touchdown and quarterback Brock Purdy threw for a touchdown. Warner’s touchdown helped the 49ers in their 30-13 win at Levi Stadium on Sunday.

#2 Dave, after losing two straight games how much does this build confidence for winning in a game like that against the Patriots.

#3 The 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals at Levi Stadium. The Cardinals got a whooping from the Washington Commanders on Sunday 42-14. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray threw for 142 yard, went 16-22, and threw for one touchdown. Should this be another easy opportunity for the 49ers this Sunday?

49ers Take Care of Business Beating Patriots 30-13; Two game skid comes to an end

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Barbara Mason

After a couple of disappointing losses the San Francisco 49ers (2-2) worked their way through the recent injuries they have suffered beating the New England Patriots (1-3) in week four of the season 30-13 at Levi Stadium.

One of the outstanding players in this game continues to be Jordan Mason who in the absence of Christian McCaffrey has done a bang-up job. He finished this game with 123 rushing yards and 37 receiving yards on two catches.

He continues to impress. There is still no timeline for the return of McCaffrey although he is targeting an early November return after receiving some treatment in Germany that went extremely well.

Game recap: There was a lot of action for San Francisco kicker Jake Moody who scored the only six points of the opening quarter. Those two kicks came at the end of the first quarter. With 2:26 left on the clock, Moody kicked a short 22 yard field goal for the early 3-0 lead. Minutes later he kicked his second of the game, a 26 yard field goal and San Francisco took a 6-0 lead into the second quarter.

The 49ers were looking for some touchdowns as the second quarter got underway and they didn’t have to wait long. A minute into the second quarter Fred Warner returned an interception for San Francisco’s first touchdown of the game.

The extra point was good and the 49ers led 13-0 at 14:01. With 3:11 left in the half, the newly returned George Kittle caught a Brock Purdy pass for 12 yards, the touchdown and San Francisco was on a roll.

The Moody kick was good and the 49ers led 20-0. The Bucs would get on the scoreboard as the clock ran out on the first half. New England’s kicker Joey Slye kicked an amazing 63 yard field goal. The score at the half was 20-3 with San Francisco calling the shots in this game.

The Patriots got a far different start in the second half than the first. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett drove his team downfield in the third quarter culminating with a 5 yard pass to Austin Hooper for the touchdown.

The kick was good and this was a 20-10 game and it was hard not to look back at last week’s game where the 49ers gave up a double-digit lead. Not about to go there this week San Francisco’s next possession was textbook perfect.

Brock Purdy connected with Deebo Samuel for 53 yards down to the New England 17. Purdy followed that up with a short pass to Jordan Mason for 13 yards and Mason would finish up the drive with a four yard romp into the end zone for the touchdown.

Mason has been doing a spectacular job in the absence of Christian McCaffrey. San Francisco had taken a 27-10 lead turning this game back around in favor of the 49ers. The Patriots were unable to move the ball on their next possession and San Francisco had taken back control of this game.

We saw some great play from Brock Purdy in the fourth quarter. A ridiculous throw at 13:26 coupled with an unbelievable catch and the Purdy Jennings connection was working in the final quarter of this game, a pass for 45 yards.

San Francisco drove down to the New England 23 yard line but the Patriots intercepted a Purdy pass intended for Brandon Aiyuk on their own two yard line. New England had a little life and some decent time on the clock.

The 49ers defense had made life pretty miserable for Patriot quarterback Jacoby Brissett registering their fifth sack this one at the hands of Nick Bosa. The life that the Patriots felt after the interception was quickly snuffed out thanks to Bosa and the San Francisco defense.

With 4:58 left in the fourth quarter the 49ers extended their lead to 30-13. Jake Moody kicked his third field goal of the game for 41 yards and he had been perfect all day. The final score was 30-13 and San Francisco celebrated a great game, a great win.

The Niner defense stepped up big, and the offense had a banner day. Brock Purdy finished with 288 yards and a touchdown. Jordan Mason had another amazing game with 123 rushing yards on 24 carries. He also had a couple of catches for 37 yards.

When Christian McCaffrey returns to the field San Francisco could have some of the most dangerous weapons on the ground in the league. The San Francisco receiving core was on point. Jauan Jennings had three catches for 88 yards, Deebo Samuel also three catches for 58 yards, Bandon Aiyuk three catches for 48 yards and George Kittle four catches for 45 yards.

San Francisco now has a 2-2 record after a rough patch. They have worked through it and despite still missing a huge offensive weapon in Christian McCaffrey they are now on track. They did have three fumbles today recovering two of them.

That will not work against an elite team but they got away with it today. The defense finished with six sacks, 66 total tackles 40 of them solo; that’s some great defensive work. They handed the Patriots their third loss of the season.

Game notes: Sunday afternoon, the 49ers defeated the New England Patriots at Levi Stadium. After dropping their last two games; last week to the Los Angeles Rams who rallied from a double-digit deficit to win the game 27-24, and the week before that they lost to the Minnesota Vikings 23-17.

The 49ers avoided losing a third game in a row, especially a game that they have no business losing. Yes they have been hampered with injuries but Deebo Samuel and George Kittle are back on the field again for this game.

Next week the 49ers will take on the Arizona Cardinals at Levi Stadium looking for their third win of the season. The Cardinals are struggling with losses to the Bills, the Lions and the Commanders.

Their only win this season was a rout of the Rams in week two 41-10. Cardinal quarterback Kyler Murray has had some disappointing games. Kickoff for this game next Sunday is scheduled for 1:05 PM and can be viewed on FOX TV.

Rams Shock San Francisco In Come From Behind Win 27-24

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty (16) celebrates with teammates after booting 37 yard field goal with two seconds left in the game to lift the Rams to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers at So Fi Stadium in Inglewood on Sun Sep 22, 2024 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

The Los Angeles Rams (1-2) Sunday at So Fi Stadium in the Southland had an awful opening quarter but they continued to plug away through the next three quarters. The San Francisco 49ers (1-2) had a 14-0 lead going into the second quarter.

After the first quarter, the 49ers looked as if they were going to steamroll the Rams with a 14-0 lead. Los Angeles just wouldn’t go away and stole this game from San Francisco in the final minute of the game. Brock Purdy finished with 288 passing yards, 41 rushing and three touchdowns. Jauan Jennings was on fire with 175 receiving yards.

Sunday afternoon an age-old rival welcomed the 49ers to SoFi Stadium the Rams who have really struggled to start the 2024 season with a loss to the Lions in overtime and a crushing loss last week to the Cardinals 41-10.

San Francisco has had their own struggles right now not only losing to the Vikings last week but also the loss of key players Deebo Samuel and George Kittle in that game. Kittle and Samuel joined Christian McCaffrey on the sidelines for Sunday’s game against the Rams.

Despite losing these players, the 49ers had the personnel to win this game especially with all the early struggles Los Angeles has been having but in the end that wasn’t to be.

The 49ers flexed their muscle in the first quarter scoring a touchdown at 11:12 for a 7-0 lead. Purdy connected with Jauan Jennings for 13 yards and the touchdown, The Jake Moody PAT was good and the 49ers had a great start in this game.

They closed out the first quarter with their second touchdown of the day taking a 14-0 lead. Brock Purdy connected with Jennings for a second time in this game for four yards and the six points. Moody kicked his second PAT of the game. Penalties were really hurting the Rams in the opening quarter in a less than impressive start for Los Angeles.

The Rams began to turn this game around in the second quarter. Rams Quarterback Matthew Stafford engineered a great drive downfield as the half began to wind down. He capped off the drive with a 15 yard pass to Kyren Williams who summersaulted his way into the end zone for the Rams first score of the game trailing 14-7. Los Angeles ran off a lot of clock with this 16 play possession.

With under a minute left in the half, San Francisco had an impressive drive underway. Purdy connected with Jennings for 11 yards followed by an 11 yard scramble by Purdy. San Francisco had their eye on a late half field goal when Purdy fumbled the ball, recovered by the Rams.

With 26 seconds left on the clock and three time outs, it was the Rams now looking for a field goal. There would be no field goal to end the first half for either team and the 49ers took a 14-7 lead into the locker room. San Francisco had come into the game guns blazing but the Rams had settled down in the second quarter evening the playing field.

San Francisco would start their first drive of the third quarter inside the Rams ten-yard-line. This was a lengthy drive culminating in a 31 yard Purdy to, who else, Jennings for their third touchdown of the game extending their lead to 21-7.

The Rams struck back scoring a touchdown at 3:53, a three yard Kyren WIliams rush, his second score of the game. The 49ers continued to hang onto the lead 21-14 going into the final quarter.

The 49ers had a 3rd and 1 to start the fourth quarter deep in Los Angeles territory on the Ram 18 yard line. When it looked like the Rams had forced a turnover, a review determined that San Francisco maintained possession of the ball and finished off this lengthy drive with a Jake Moody 26 yard field goal giving the 49ers a 24-14 lead with a lot of time left in the game.

The Rams went crazy offensively with Stafford completing pass after pass, four in total and with a first and goal on the San Francisco 15 Los Angeles was threatening. The 49ers had sacked Stafford pushing him from the eight yard line to the 15.

A touchdown was not in the cards for the Rams but a Joshua Karty 33 Yd Field Goal was successful and San Francisco would be looking to try to drain the clock as well as extending their 24-17 lead.

With three minutes left in the game, San Francisco’s kicker Karty was looking at a 57 yard attempt. The kick failed and Los Angeles had just under three minutes to tie up this game.

A 50 yard connection from Stafford to Tutu Atwell gave the Rams a first and goal at the San Francisco four yard line. It was Kyren Williams up the center for four yards, the extra point was good and we had a tie game at 24 in a crazy turnaround.

The 49ers had 1:51 to get within field goal range and win this game. San Francisco had a rough series unable to get even close to field goal range and had to give up the ball. Los Angeles had 42 seconds left on the clock after Xavier Smith returned the 49er punt to midfield.

The Rams drew a pass interference penalty and Los Angeles was in field goal range on the 49er 25 yard line in a shocking reverse of fortune. Joshua Karty made the 37 yard field Goal giving the Rams their first lead of the game. Los Angeles had not led for 59 minutes of this game but plugged away and came away with the 27-24 win.

San Francisco will be looking to re-group after this loss as they take on the New England Patriots in Santa Clara next Sunday. RIght now the projected date for Deebo Samuels’ return is next Sunday.

George Kittle’s return from a hamstring injury is still unknown. The loss of Samuel, Kittle and McCaffrey had a lot to do with this loss.

Kickoff for the next game Sunday Sep 29th is scheduled for 1:05 PM with the New England Patriots at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: McDaniels says Garoppolo’s  prognosis is better but could miss game in Chicago Sunday

On the LV Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) and head coach Josh McDaniels says he’s received encouraging news that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is getting better from his back injury he got last Sunday against the New England Patriots and had to leave the game.

#3 Garoppolo might still have to sit out against the Chicago Bears and he’ll be replaced by back up quarterback Brian Hoyer.

#4 Tony, just wanted to get your impressions of the job Hoyer did in the second half of the game throwing 102 yards and going 6 for 10 in passing.

#5 The Bears (1-5) have been struggling they lost their last game to the Minnesota Vikings 19-13. The Bears used quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Justin Fields but just couldn’t get by the Vikings. How do you see this match up in Chicago for the Raiders this Sunday at 10:00AM PT?

Raiders Defense Finishes Off Patriots With a Late Game Safety 21-17

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (8) tries to gain some ground on New England cornerback CJ Jackson (29) first half action at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sun Oct 15, 2023 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

The Las Vegas Raiders defense stepped up, and stepped up big in the final 1:47 of the fourth quarter. The Raiders were clinging onto a 19-17 lead. The Patriots had the ball but the Raiders defense forced them deep into their own territory. The Raiders defense closed out this game in the end zone with a safety courtesy of Maxx Crosby and Bilal Nichols in a 21-17 win. The Raiders have now won back to back games.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) took on a struggling New England Patriot team (1-5) Sunday afternoon at Allegiant Stadium. Neither team is having a stellar season this year and the Raiders reached .500 are in third place behind second place Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West with the Chargers still to play on Monday Night Football. The Raiders have lost some close games this season and Sunday’s game against the Patriots was no exception.

Patriots-Raiders post game recap: It was a defensive first quarter with a single score, a Raider field goal at 6:54, for a 3-0 lead going into the second quarter.

The Raiders extended their lead in the second quarter. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo found Jakobi Meyers for 12 yards and the touchdown. The extra point was good and Las Vegas had a 10-0 lead to start the second quarter. The Patriots got on the scoreboard at 8:38 via a 43 yard field goal and they had cut into the Raiders lead 10-3.

As the game went into the half, the Raiders had tacked on a second field goal now leading 13-3. Garoppolo was hurt in the closing minutes of the second quarter after having a very efficient first half of football. He was 14 of 22 for 162 yards and one interception. He was transported to a local hospital with a possible back injury. Back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer replaced Garoppolo under center to start the third quarter. He had not thrown a single pass this season.

New England had won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. The Patriots had a successful opening drive in the third quarter. They had not scored a touchdown in 12 quarters but that all changed when Ezekiel Elliott rushed up the middle for two yards and the Patriots finally had scored a touchdown after quite a drought.

New England now trailed the Raiders by a field goal 13-10. The Raiders Daniel Carlson kicked his third field goal of the day, a 30 yard kick giving Las Vegas a 16-10 lead.

Back-up quarterback Hoyer delivered the Raiders longest pass of the season in the third quarter, a 48-yard strike to Tre Tucker which set up the field goal attempt. The Raiders had been in the red zone twice in the second half; once in the third quarter and as it turned out once in the fourth.

Carlson was having a banner day kicking his fourth field goal, this one a 24 yarder, and the Raiders had a 19-10 lead. Las Vegas needed their defense to protect their lead and hand the Patriots their fifth loss of the season.

The Patriots had a great deal of success in the air in the fourth quarter putting together a great drive that would take, unfortunately for them, 9:30 off the game clock. A quarterback hit by the Raiders’ Maxx Crosby put this game in real jeopardy giving the Patriots a first and goal.

New England scored the touchdown and the Raiders would have to fight for this win leading by the slimmest of margins 19-17 with 3:36 left in the game. Las Vegas could not keep their final drive going and the Patriots had one final chance with 2:23 left on the clock and no timeouts.

A Raider win would be in the hands of their defense as this game went down to the wire. Las Vegas closed out this game in Crosby style stuffing Patriot quarterback Mac Jones in the end zone for the safety and a 21-17 lead and that was the ball game.

So much went down in this game from start to finish. The Raiders had a nice first half unfortunately culminating in the injury of Garoppolo right before half time. The fact that he went to a local hospital right after the injury does not bode well for Las Vegas.

Yes the Raiders won this game but they settled for four field goals while inside the red zone. This does not often win a lot of games. Hoyer had some really nice passes although failed to find the end zone. He did drive the team downfield a couple of times which culminated in two field goals. The Raiders’ defense came up huge in that final Patriots drive with the safety and the 21-17 win.

Next week the Raiders will travel to Chicago to take on another struggling team, the Bears. The Raiders will possibly be playing without Garoppolo and in that event Hoyer will take his place after looking pretty good in the Patriot game. Kick off at Soldier Field is at 10:00AM PT on Sun Oct 22.

Hoyer did not score any touchdowns in today’s game but he also had not thrown a single pass this season. It was a decent game for him and now he has some invaluable time with the team in game day situation. This is yet another game that Las Vegas has the ability to win and they should come into the game with a lot of confidence after today’s win.
