July 03, 2014

TOPICS:



Segment #1: Make your travel plans for the Raiders in London



The Raiders game in London on September 28th will be epic. Raider Nation Podcast will be there with our video camera and microphone. Lots of pre-game parties and events. The Crusader Raider is preparing to welcome Raider Nation to his home town and you won’t want to miss this opportunity if you can possibly make it.



Segment #2: Happy Birthday Al



The 4th of July is Al Davis’ birthday. We miss him, and we pay tribute to his life and accomplishments. We hear an excerpt from the NFL network program "Al Davis, A Football Life", along with words from Al Davis.



Segment #3: Oakland Raiders support M.A.D.D.



The Raiders are one of several teams who are taking steps to insure that there are designated drivers when fans are leaving games. How did the media respond? Raider Greg will tell you.



Segment #4: “A Tale of Two Playersâ€



Rolando McClain was recently picked up by the Dallas Cowboys, after saying not that long ago that he did not wish to play football anymore. Raider Greg looks back and compares the differences in McClain's career as compared to another Raiders' linebacker Miles Burris. We hear an interview Raider Greg did with Miles during his first year with the Raiders in 2012, plus an interview with Miles' mother Donna.



Segment #5: The Media is reaching for stories during this dead time of the season



Enough of the “best teams ever, best quarterback ever, Top 10 receivers, Top 10 RBs, Top 100 Players of all time†etc, etc. How may Oakland Raiders players are on these lists? We can’t wait until training camp starts, because NFL news right now is weak.
