THE BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back to another packed episode of the Ballinesian Podcast, Samoans talking sports. We begin with the Raiders' Maxx Crosby being named Assistant GM at his alma mater and how college athletics have changed coming into the NIL Era, which led us to a dive deep into the recent breakup between the Tennessee Volunteers and former QB Nico Iamaleava, as the later was released after his representatives reportedly asked for more NIL money. Was this a miscommunication, an attempt to get a raise or something more dastardly? ALSO: NBA Play-In game predictions, WrestleMania 41 x The Bloodline, and Flag Day fautasi race memories from American Samoa. DAY ONE ISH. Enjoy the show!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back to another episode of the Ballinesian Podcast, Samoans talking sports, a Charger and Raiders fan breaking down the latest news and happenings in the NFL. With only a few weeks until the NFL Draft, the Raiders extended QB Geno Smith (through 2027) and recently released CB Jack Jones, so what do these moves mean for what they might intend to do in the Draft. The Chargers signed former Rugby player TE Jordan Petaia through the NFL's International Pathway Program and also added former 49ers and Cowboys QB Trey Lance to add depth behind starter Justin Herbert. ALSO - For those without a Flag Day fautasi, what are the rules for which boat you should root for? Or comment what sports story we should talk about next episode. Thanks!

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.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

We're back with the latest Free Agency news for the Raiders and the Chargers and other signings around the NFL. Las Vegas has re-signed and brought in a bunch of defensive players while the Chargers brought back LB Khalil Mack for one year, $18M fully guaranteed. Both teams look to be making solid moves without overpaying for incoming players. We'll also try to figure out what these flurries of moves may mean for other teams, like Sam Darnold getting 3 years, $100M ("BRIDGE!") from the Seahawks after they dumped Geno Smith, the Rams not wanting to re-sign Cooper Kupp but giving Davante Adams 2 years, $46M (Also what did Puka Nakua get for giving up his #17 to Adams?), why the Texans are trading away CJ Stroud's linemen in LT Laremy Tunsil to the Commanders and OG Kenyon Green to the Eagles, the Vikings bringing in starting DTs Jonathon Allen and Javon Hargrave and where we are now in the QB Carousel with Justin Fields finding a new home with the Jets.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Movie Boys is in charge because Glasses is off on his adventures again.

Marcus went to his first company party and had a great time, but also saw why he doesn't go out anymore.

Lance is happy as hell about the state of the Lakers as we've climbed to the 2nd seed in the West.

The Boys lament further on the Mavs and their ruined season thanks to Nico Harrison and maybe the Adelson family?

Who would've thought Texas wouldn't be cool with gambling?

Tinā has made one million dollars in the New Zealand box office after one week and the people who've seen it are raving about it.

Also, if you were on Mr. Beast's game and had to decide to split the winnings with your entire team or taking it all, what you doing?

Now we know that Lance is a monster.

Enjoy the show!
