Raiders RB Jalen Richard joined Silver & Black Today host Scott Gulbransen and Just Pod Baby host Evan Groat in this special crossover interview. Richard talks about his longevity in the Silver and Black and why he's excited about 2020 and the changes to the franchise.

We're back live and share our conversation with Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard. Richard has now made it through two head coaches and two GMs and tells us what he thinks of the team's new offensive weapons. Sr. NFL Columnist at SilverAndBlackToday.com Moe Moton talks about his recent piece on former UNLV S/LB Javin White and why undrafted free agents are important in the NFL. Scott Gulbransen, Your Boy Q & Chaz Osborne host.

Host Scott Gulbransen and his special co-host Your Boy Q drop a special mid-week podcast to fill the football jones you have during this dead part of the year. Their guest is former UNLV safety/linebacker Javin White who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Las Vegas Raiders. White talks about how he fits right in wearing the silver and black as he isn't afraid to talk on the field and then back it up with his play. Although he will play linebacker primarily, White talks with us about why his versatility will help him in his quest to make the final 2020 roster.

The Las Vegas Raiders added depth to their running back room by singing fourth-year running back Devontae Booker to an approximate $900,000 one-year contract. We talk to the newest Raiders tailback and he tells us about growing up a Raiders fan and why he likes staying in the AFC West.

His Los Angeles Raiders and pro football career were all too short but was Bo Jackson the greatest athlete to ever wear the silver and black? Author Michael Weinreb, whose book Bigger Than The Game chronicled the legend of Jackson and others 80s athletes, talked with us about perhaps the brightest start whose short career still has major impact over the game even today.

New Las Vegas Raiders running back Davontae Booker joins the show to discuss his reasons for signing with Las Vegas and why he will make the most of the opportunity. PLUS: Author Michael Weinreb talks with the guys about the greatness that was the Raiders Bo Jackson. We'll also discuss the NFL's return to team facilities this week and if there will be spectators in the stands come the regular season. Special guest co-host Your Boy Q is along for the ride.

We also explore the need for new tradition to rise from the ground up in the new capital of Raider Nation: Las Vegas.

On Monday, the NFL expanded the Rooney Rule in the attempt to give more opportunity to minority candidates but the rumored proposal rewarding better draft picks to teams that hire a coach or general manager is causing a stir. We discuss.

A new stadium, a new city and sky-high ticket prices. The Las Vegas Raiders ticket prices have shot through the roof in the secondary market leaving many in Raider Nation feeling left out.

Sprung talks about the market and why the fact the Raiders are now playing in Las Vegas isn't the only reason for the increase.
