Touchdowns and Tangents

This might just be one of the greatest prerecorded episodes yet. On a Tuesday night in Northridge Kenny, Pete & longtime friend Ryan Mancini hit up Happy Hour at the fantastic Bar Louie and then we watched BlacKKKlansman. Mancini is a CSUN alum, multimedia journalist, political science, history and unofficial historian of the Beatles and the Eagles. We discuss the film with avoiding too many spoilers and address how the movie affected all of & Lee's intent may have been. We then hit up the latest pop culture news, Trump's nefarious influence with the NFL & some epic tangents to close the show. Our group chat is better than yours.

Due to some unforeseen technical an audio issues, the first 20 minutes were completely lost. Kenny and Pete touched on the passing of soul singer, icon and the QUEEN of R & B, Aretha Franklin as well as opening with one of the many great hip hop samples using her music. Corey Coleman whined his way out of Cleveland & karma placed him in Buffalo, aka disgruntled receiverville. Kenny & Pete goes in on the latest episode of Hard Knocks. All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey kept it 100 with his interview with GQ magazine by roasting all the quarterbacks he felt were trash and showing respect to the ones who deserve it. The stats back up everything he said. Denver fans put a GoFundMe page to get rid of third string quarterback and former first round pick Paxton Lynch. Terrelle Pryor is getting even more exposed as soft by former teammates & Pete didn't realize how legendary of a high school prospect Pryor was. The Chargers are getting healthy in the right positions at the right time. Donald Penn took a pay cut and may have solidified the Raiders offensive line by moving to right tackle. Whose improving or getting worse at the end of training camp. Lastly, the duo discuss the Maryland football abuse scandal and how it leaves a black mark on the program. Where does the most blame start when a football program has a kid die and people start getting held accountable? What can be done for the parents of Jordan McNair & how does coaching style affect kids on the lower levels of support.

Technical difficulties ain’t stopping us

The show starts hostile because its been that kind of a week and summer. Kenny and Pete discuss the Hall of Fame ceremony and their favorite speeches. They address the latest scores for preseason games, injuries, Kelvin Benjamin v.s. Cam Newton, the never-ending saga of the Aaron Donald/Khalil Mack hold outs & Donald's impact. Kenny also discusses his hatred of the same old back up quarterbacks and how he wants to see new faces, regardless of race. Good News CEO Keith calls in and lets us know how he feels about Kelvin Benjamin. Hard Knocks, new NCAA rules and its possible effects of college football, Take or Tangent an a rant that turned into an intense, stimulating conversation on protocol among millennial men with the infamous Shiggy as a test case. This broadcast is now available on Spotify. Peep the brilliance of the realness.

Episode 84 (We think) was yet another impactful one. Owners of Wake & Bake Breakfast Club in North Hollywood and Certified Culture Brian Williams and Justin Rayside respectively pulled up for a Master class in entrepreneurship in the cannabis industry, their days as football players at Indiana University, high school football memories & ultimately the importance of being a student of business and life in general. Kenny & Pete also get into some the latest news from the week that was including Dez Bryant v.s. the World, the peaks and valleys of being a D1 athlete, concussions, defensive rule changes & Los Angeles v.s. Small town groupie culture. All four guys close out the show with rants for the ages.

Julio Jones got a deal done at the last second. Todd Gurley getting paid signals the return of the running back being respected & financially compensated. With the Rams locking up their best offensive players, is Aaron Donald all but gone? Kenny & Pete discuss the revolution of the Madden music playlist.Who has better music, Madden or 2K? Is anyone else going to get paid? More tales from the Bus Stop Chronicles. This was a prerecorded episode. Jerry Jones bullied his team further by saying everyone will be forced to stand during the anthem. Moving on sometimes sucks but the lessons you learn & the memories & people you leave behind will stay with you forever.

Kenny & Pete start off with the joint statement from the NFL & NFLPA about players not being punished for protesting during the national anthem and the power dynamic athletes have starting from high school and how it changes once they get to college or the professional ranks. They then address who did & didn't get paid. Did Le'Veon Bell overplay his hand in negotiating his deal or should elite running backs be payed for their overall value? Pete was on his petty tip. Kenny is drunk with sound board power but it's ironically justified. Greg Papa and Tom Flores was fired by the Raiders as a member of the Raiders radio hosts during game days after 30 years of service with the team. Pete is ripe with righteous indignation. Creative differences & telepathic pettiness are a lynch-pin of the 81st episode. We figured out the number. Kenny isn't a fan of their replacements

On the first ever joint show on the Good News Radio Station, Kenny & Pete link up with the fellas from Courtside Radio to talk NBA news, whose trash at 2K, LeBron in Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant, Summer League and NBA title possibilities. In the second hour the focus shifts to the NFL, the rebirth of flag football & its' future and the troubling domestic violation, assault & abuse accusations towards LeSean McCoy, Marcell Dareus & Brandon Browner. We didn't touch on it but the NFL was also petty by not choosing to acknowledge him during the Hall of Fame weekend. Enjoy the laughs and spontaneous chemistry and conversation.

Kenny and Pete breakdown the latest from Jameis Winston, Foster and Kam Chancellor. They also breakdown LA LeBron and more Lakers talk with Bob Garcia IV. Ben Sudderth III from BS3 Sports stops in for some positivity about building a podcast brand as well as his takes on the Dallas Cowboys and Mavericks.
