  • Ballinesian Podcast | Ep 156 - Raiders Resurgence, Can Dillon Gabriel can be Browns starting QB?

    BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

    May 6, 2025

    On this episode, we begin by piecing together how the Las Vegas Raiders have changed their vibes and franchise trajectory, and the comeback story that threads together the team and everyone from Maxx Crosby, Geno Smith, Pete Carroll, Tom Brady and even Sin City itself. We'll also talk about how rookie QB Dillon Gabriel can win the starting QB job for the Cleveland Browns this year, overcoming fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders and veteran Joe Flacco. We wrap with an inspection on The Rock's recent interview on the Pat McAfee Show, talking about how he wasn't involved in the main event of WrestleMania 41 to focus the spotlight on John Cena and Cody Rhodes but are there big creative differences in the WWE/TKO offices? Enjoy!

  • Episode 122: Believe In Humanity

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys have formed up again.

    The Boys argue over who would win between one hundred men and a gorilla. Marcus doesn't have any faith in humanity.

    Shannon Sharpe has stepped down from his duties on ESPN after being accused of sexual assault. Sharpe is being sued for $50 million, and a lot of this is just ugly.

    Sefa asks Marcus the age-old question: Would you pay for Amanda Bynes's OF to talk to her?

  • Ballinesian Podcast | Ep 151 - Raiders working to extend Geno Smith, NFL rule changes, March Madness

    BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

    Happy April, and welcome back to Islanders talking sports and the latest in NFL updates for the Chargers and Raiders.

    Las Vegas announced they're working to extend QB Geno Smith. Will that stop them from taking a QB early in the Draft? Forest talks about how different options at No.6 could change the Raiders' roster.

    The Chargers have had a quiet offseason with good additions to the interior offensive line, showing they are more focused on building the team through the draft.

    NFL Rule changes: The Tush Push has survived (for now) an attempt to ban it. Touchbacks will now be placed at that 35-yard line. Regular season overtime rules have been changed so that both teams will get a chance to possess the ball.

    South Carolina Senior G Te-Hina Paopao and coach Dawn Staley are back in the Final 4 #GoGamecocks and finally

    WWE announcing that the Roman Reigns-Seth Rollins-CM Punk triple threat match at WrestleMania will "close the show" and what that means for Main Event Jey Uso and his World Heavyweight title match that weekend. Get well soon, Big Jim.
