The Polytickin' Podcast

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to Samoans talking sports. We'll begin with our Locals Sports and get our takes on the Tafuna Warriors playing Las Vegas's Liberty High School, former championship-winning coach Pooch Taase taking over the Marist football team, Tavita Pritchard and Stanford's Pacific Islander night and much, much more.

We'll also breakdown the Raiders' and Chargers' initial 53-man roster and what it could speak to as far as what our teams want to present and accomplish on the field this season. Chargers have 11 OL, so they want to run power a bunch or they're worried about injuries tanking their season again. Raiders chose to keep QB Aidan O'Connell, what does that mean for Fernando Mendoza?

And we'll wrap with which fantasy football players we are absolutely OUT on this year, and do not want to draft these players unless they're going way later than their current ADP (Malik Nabers, Jeremiah Love, Luther Burden, small WRs, any TEs before the sixth round, more).

BALLINESIAN PODCST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to Samoans talking Sports! We'll catch up with a few different stories this week, including what speed you listen to podcasts to, the Lakers being sold twice in one year (fraud investigation?) and RB Ashton Jeanty suffering what appeared to be a serious injury.

In our main topic today, we'll discuss fantasy football strategy; when to take RBs, should you reach for a QB, why take a Defense and Kicker with your last picks. Best of luck to everyone in their leagues this year!

In our Locals news catch up, we'll find out more about Tafuna High School winning their match against Mojave HS, NV (next up: Liberty HS, Las Vegas), the recent confusion on if there will be high school Sports in American Samoa, outrage following a US congressional candidate using AI to bring activist Haunani-Kay Trask back to life and say that she supports his pro-abortion stance and campaign. And we'll also break down this 300,000 metric ton shipment of "beef" that our president won't tell us where its from lol what!?

Thanks so much for listening. Shout out to Earth Justice for taking up a lawsuit to the courts to halt deep sea mining. And RIP to an angel, Miss Dolly Parton, who made it her life's work to use her money and power to Do Good.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast, Samoans talking Sports. Congrats to the Samoan football teams laying the smackdown this week, with the American Samoa Flag Football team getting a huge win over the USA team (who hadn't lost in competitive play in 14 years), as well as the Tafuna Warriors traveling to Salt Lake City and enacting the mercy rule versus East High. Finafinau i mea lelei, Warriors never down lets goooo lol. The Warriors trip continues to Nevada this week as they face off against Mojave High School.

We'll also discuss Chargers and Raiders camp updates (LAC Center Tyler Biadasz carted off), and the viral content surrounding Commanders' QB Jayden Daniels(' camp) sending LSU a cease-and-desist letter on using his name, image and likeness after seeing his former college gave Daniels' #5 college jersey number to a current college player. Shout out to JuJu Watkins though.

And Samoan band Tiama'a is asking creators to stop using their songs to make AI covers because the AI can change the lyrics and the band wants to protect Gagana Samoa. Stop using AI!

RIP to Manu'a Store that burned down last week back home. So many fires recently, what's going on?

And who's running the ASDOH Facebook account? So spicy. And we're kinda here for it, respectfully lol.

Finally, what cultural/classic songs should we add to our 4y/o's playlist? Got a bunch of Islander/reggae music mixed with pop classics so far.

Thanks for tuning in!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

BG Wealth is a scam, and other news this week with Samoans talking Sports. Also, submit your comments opposing Deep Sea Mining to the Gov. at [email protected].

NFL Training Camps have begun! And so has the drama: Pro Bowl NT Vita Vea wants a new contract and isn't satisfied with the Buccaneers negotiations so far. He reportedly would prefer a move to a California or Las Vegas team. We'll discuss.

Falcons' QB Tua Tagovailoa is not practicing due to an undisclosed injury (Schefter reports "back tightness"), but new coach Kevin Stefanski believes he'll return "sooner than later". With fellow QB Michael Penix Jr. sidelined and recovering from his third torn ACL, Tua has a chance to take the reins of the Falcons offense and feed their many weapons enroute to a comeback season.

Viral Trends of the Week include asking your parents to react to what your school bully would say to you, and the trend of changing the question after recording your friends' answers to a different question and making them sound crazy. Editing is magic.

And in a few headlines from talanei: BG Wealth is a scam investigated by many states and island countries, update your kid's vaccinations with school around the corner, and American Samoa's CCCAS conference ended with the 600-person delegation affirming our ocean is a sacred place and we are charged with protecting God's wonders. Yeah! Go Church! lol
