Welcome to this week's episode of Samoans talking sports and discussing a historical quarterback matchup in Spain. Marcus Mariota and Tua Tagovailoa faced off in the first NFL game between two Samoan signal callers, showing the league and the world how far Pacific Islanders have come since entering the league decades ago as hulking lineman specialists. Soon, high-level Pacific QBs will be the norm.

We'll talk about the home teams as well: the Chargers looked flat again on their fourth east coast trip of the season, losing 6-35 to the Jaguars. The Raiders played the Cowboys on Monday Night Football and... are ready for 2026.

There's a RunIt Trial Tour happening on the westcoast. We'll talk about how the sport has grown, what draws spectators to it, and how the best strategies for trying to win an Oklahoma Drill.
