  • On Vinny…

    Vinny is who brings context to this podcast and morning show. Can’t deny he is very well connected inside the building and knows what he’s talking about. Bonsignore is my most trusted Raiders source and that is considering others that have been covering the team for a longer period of time.

  • Don’t know why the hate

    I personally think LB is leaps and bounds better to listen to than Heidi was. I stopped listening when Heidi was full time. When I saw LB was a host I came back and enjoy her energy and approach. Vinny is Vinny and I love Vin. Clay is always gold.

  • Get rid of Vinny and Lyndsey

    Content is really good but please get rid of all the yelling by L Brown and pompous Vinny. He needs an ego check. Make Harry Ruiz or Pritch the full time co-host. Feel bad for Clay
