On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 Rich how important is this bye week after the Raiders have lost five straight games.

#2 In the losing streak the Raiders played some tough customers one amongst them the Kansas City Chiefs back on Sun Oct 27th. The Chiefs actually pulled out a 27-20 win when they heard the Raiders footsteps and came away with a fourth quarter rally to hold on and win the game.

#3 There was the previous home game that the Raiders were crushed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sun Oct 13 at Allegiant Stadium 32-13. Steelers quarterback Justin Fields was 14-24 for 145 yards. Fields didn’t throw or rush for a touchdown but the Steelers certainly got a lot of offense in that game.

#4 Speaking of offense in the Raiders last game Sun Nov 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati the Bengals put up some big numbers with quarterback Joe Burrow under center throwing 27-39 for 251 yards and here’s where it hurt the Raiders five touchdowns by Burrow either by passing or rushing in the 41-24 win.

#5 The Raiders get right back to work in Miami next Sunday Nov 17th with a 10:00AM PST kickoff. The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has taken a beating this year with multiple concussions but will not sit out. In the Dolphins last game against the Buffalo Bills Tua threw 25-28, 231 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins came up short in that one 30-27. How do you see this match up between the Dolphins and Raiders this Sunday here in Miami Sunday ?

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have reached a four year extension agreement worth $212.4M. Tagovailoa’s salary is the highest in Dolphins history. Tagovailoa’s salary is the third highest behind Jacksonville Jaguars Trevor Lawrence and the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow at $55 million per year.

#2 Charlie O, it’s an Olympic year and it didn’t take long right out of the shoot in Paris when an athlete from Iraq was found to test positive for anabolic steroids. Sajjad Sehen who tested for steroids was found to be positive for metandienone and boldenone. Sehen has been suspended from participating in the games.

#3 After an MRI Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout left knee came back clean. Trout said he had been dealing with scar tissue buildup and inflammation. Trout upon learning the MRI results said “It’s a huge relief for me.” Trout was out with a torn meniscus and had been on the IL since April 30th. Trout was hitting .220, 10 home runs, 14 RBIs in 29 games.

#4 Carolyn McArdle the San Francisco Giants newest permanent PA announcer who was a Sacramento Rivercats PA announcer will be introducing the lineup and other messages at Oracle Park for the rest of the season. After long time former PA announcer Renel did not have her contract renewed last December the Giants had been rotating PA announcers which included Danny Miller the San Jose Sharks and San Jose Earthquakes permanent announcer. McArdle is music director at 98.1 The Breeze.

#5 Other Major League teams have been shopping Oakland A’s outfielder Brent Rooker and pitcher Mason Miller before the trade deadline. Neither are free agents and are making near the minimum and the A’s most likely will hang onto both of them for the rest of this season. Miller is on the 10 day IL after fracturing his pinkie finger in his non throwing hand so he’s been taken off the shelf on any trade rumors.

Pro Bowl 2024 game recap: NFC wins for second straight year beating AFC 64-59

The NFL’s 2024 Pro Bowl Games concluded on Sunday with the flag football game. The NFC started with a 12-9 lead due to the results of the prior skill competitions. Despite starting off trailing, the AFC got out to an early lead due to a 45-yard Tyreek Hill touchdown which put them up 15-12.

That lead would be short-lived though, as CeeDee Lamb would put the NFC back in front with a pass from Jalen Hurts. They’d convert on the two-point conversion as well, putting them up by four.

Following two quick touchdowns, the defense took control for a short time as both conferences recorded a big stop, the biggest coming when the NFC was able to keep their opposition out of the end zone on a fourth and goal.

With 47 seconds remaining in the first game, Tua Tagovailoa connected with Ja’Marr Chase to retake the lead. They’d hold that lead heading into the “Move the Chains” event, which the NFC would go on to win and we saw another lead change, as it was now 22-21 in favor of the NFC.

The AFC scored on their first opportunity during their second and took the lead back once again, with Keenan Allen converting on a second and goal pass from CJ Stroud. The NFC tried to bounce back, however on first and goal, Geno Smith threw off target and it went right to defensive back Denzel Ward who picked it off in the end zone, barely getting both feet down before going out of bounds.

Stroud then connected with Chase for the second time of the night, extending the AFC’s lead to 33-22. Amon-ra St. Brown brought his conference back within one possession, although it wouldn’t last long. Allen added a passing touchdown to his resume on a trick play, finding Evan Engram in the end zone. Smith threw his second interception of the night, as Patrick Surtain II got a pick-six to extend the AFC’s lead even further. At half-time, the AFC led 47-36.

The NFC continued to dominate the skills competitions though, after wins in the Gridiron Gauntlet and Best Catch, they clawed themselves back into the fight. They would enter the second half of the flag football game with a 48-47 lead and also had the first possession of the half.

They wouldn’t convert though, but when the AFC got the ball they were able to regain the lead with Allen’s second receiving touchdown of the night, this time from Gardner Minshew. Lamb’s second touchdown of the night would bring Eli Manning’s team back into the lead, 55-53.

They’d hold that lead heading into the final skill competition, the tug of war. The NFC won and received three extra points to take their lead to 58-53 heading into the final quarter.

The AFC started the fourth quarter with a first and goal, which they converted as Allen gave his team the lead once again. They failed to convert on the conversion, and the AFC led by only a single point. Jahmyr Gibbs of the Detroit Lions was able to get the NFC back in the league, then the defense got a stop to make sure it stayed that way.

A scramble by Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback Baker Mayfield into the end zone on fourth down seemed to put the game away, but a late flag came out and the touchdown didn’t count. Instead, they gave the NFC a first down and another opportunity to put the game out of reach.

They weren’t able to do so and Peyton Manning’s team got the opportunity to pull off a comeback win. It came down to a fourth and goal with ten seconds left on the clock. The pass attempt was incomplete and the NFC and head coach Eli Manning walked away with a 64-59 win.

Although the AFC dominated in the flag football portion of the Pro Bowl, they were unable to overcome their disappointing performance in the skills competitions which handed the NFC the win. Demario Davis of the New Orleans Saints was named Defensive Most Valuable Player while the offensive award went to Baker Mayfield.
