Headline Sports podcast with Tony Renteria: NFL tells players no more kneeling–will players revolt?; Bucks’ Brown tased by Milwaukee cops; Knights– the impossible dream

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Photo credit @ABC: The Milwaukee Bucks Sterling Brown is detained by Milwaukee Police for a parking violation and later is tased from this body cam video furnished by police

On Headline Sports with Tony:

#1 The NFL has ordered all players to stand during the national anthem. They must stand at full attention respectfully, and if these orders are not followed, the NFL will fine the respective team. The NFL players’ union said they might consider appealing the new policy.

#2 Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown was stopped by the Milwaukee Police for a parking violation. The police on video ordered Brown to back up the video showed Brown cooperating, but when other officers showed up the initial officer said that Brown got in his face–a lie, which was not in the video–and didn’t show Brown getting aggressive. Brown was then tased by the police as five to six other officers arrived. The Milwaukee police have disciplined the police officers who handled the incident. Tony answers the question had it not been for Brown being a player, would this had been a story?

#3 The Vegas Golden Knights now in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, a first for any first-year expansion team in any sport. Tony answers how they’ll do against the Washington Capitals in the NHL Finals.

#4 San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster’s charges have been dropped and will now be able to join the 49ers. Foster’s ex-girlfriend said there was no domestic abuse and that she had been in a fight with two other women the day before Foster was arrested. Foster has been charged by the Santa Clara DA’s office for possession of a illegal firearm dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor.

#5 The Golden State Warriors will face the Houston Rockets tonight in Game 5 in Houston. The series is tied 2-2. Tony answers the question if this series is unpredictable at this point.

Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg: A’s with sixth best record in MLB since April 15th

On the A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

The Oakland A’s have the sixth best record in Major League Baseball since April 15th an indication that they’ve had lots of improvement over the last month. The A’s have won six of their last eight and are at 25-23.

The A’s haven’t hit a home run in their last five home games but on the road they homered in each of their last 14 games. The A’s really had a successful road trip going 1-2 in New York, 2-1 in Boston, and 4-0 in Toronto.

The A’s 7-3 on the last road trip something no one would have expected after having a tough homestand with Houston before leaving on the trip. The A’s have compiled the third lowest ERA in baseball after the seventh inning for a 3.36 ERA. They’re getting key pitching to win in the late innings.

San Francisco Giants podcast with Michael Duca and Morris Phillips: Giants two below .500, but are only two games out of first place

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the Giants podcast with Michael and Morris:

Giants outfielder Mac Williamson who is missed and has missed about three weeks since his concussion injury. When Williamson was in the lineup, he hit some of the hardest hit balls on the team at that time. On Tuesday night, it was the 17th time in 49 games that the Giants have struck out 10 times.

Hard hit balls, strikeouts, the Giants are two games under .500. It might suggest that their not getting the most out of their hard hit balls. There’s a lot of contrary things going on with the Giants’ statistics.

This could be the season that baseball surpasses its previous strikeout record. Clubs are striking out at a fast pace. The Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer is on a pace to reach 100 strikeouts at the fastest pace in the history of the game.

The game is changing there’s no doubt about it and if the Giants can get through April and May if they can get within hailing distance of the division leaders.  The Giants are still within hailing distance after tonight’s game as they are trailing first place Colorado and Arizona by two games. ‘

On the NHL Stanley Cup playoff podcast with Marko:

#1 After taking the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals the Washington Capitals confidentially arrived in Tampa Bay for Games 2 and 3 and saw their chances to breeze through this one go the wayside losing Games 3 and 4.

#2 In Game 6, the goaltender for the Caps Braden Holtby stopped all 24 of the Lightning’s shots for the shutout 3-0.

#3 The Caps’ TJ Oshie scored two goals on Monday night to help the Caps get a three-goal victory past the Lightning.

#4 Tampa Bay’s top lines couldn’t do anything with Washington’s peppered offense and the Lightning couldn’t get on the scoreboard.

#5 So a Game 7 is forced and the Lightning will have home ice. Marko gives us his take on who wins this series.
