Silver and Black Today Show

A jam-packed Memorial Day edition of the Silver and Black Today show on CBS Sports Radio 1140...Sports marketing expert, and former professional sports executive, Doug Verb joins us to talk about what the success of the NHL expansion Vegas Golden Knights can tell us about how the market will respond to the Raiders coming to Las Vegas. Verb isn't concerned and says recent Bay Area columns comparing the Raiders to other markets where they have multiple teams in the same sports are unfair. Verb also talks about the Las Vegas sports market which he says is the best in the nation. Chris Reed, from SilverAndBlackToday.com joins us to discuss how Jon Gruden is taking a page out of the New England Patriot's playbook in rebuilding the Raiders. Senior NFL writer, and Doctor of Chiropractic, Hayden Nadolny joins us to discuss if Amari Cooper's off-season bulk is a reason why he has what Gruden calls a hamstring "twinge" that made him miss workouts the first day of OTAs this week. We also take your calls and talk about the NFL's controversial new rule over national anthem protests. Silver and Black Today airs every Sunday from 8am-10am in Las Vegas.

The team also previews OTAs and focuses in on some of the more interesting position battles heating up for training camp later this summer. Matt Gutierrez leads a discussion about the Raiders running back situation which leads to a heated discussion about Doug Martin. The show closes with an in-depth look at the US Supreme Court's decision on sports betting as US Bookmaking's Robert Walker joins us live on the newsmaker line.

We promised our readers and listeners a few weeks back the full and unedited Phil Villapiano interview and here it is! We had such a great time interviewing him we've officially made him an honorary co-host of the Silver and Black Today on CBS Sports Radio 1140. WARNING: There is some language used in the interview that some might find offensive. Yes, our radio show is only four weeks old. But a few weeks ago we had an interview that will be hard to top. Raiders great Phil Villapiano joined us to talk about his career, the Raiders move to Las Vegas, and why he thinks he's not in the Hall of Fame. Villapiano also talked about his friendship with Franco Harris despite Harris' annual harrassment to remind him of the travesty that was the Immaculate Reception. He shares his stories on the play, the aftermath, and his return to Pittsburgh for the play's 40th anniversary. Perhaps one of the best parts of the interview, Villapiano discusses the two-and-a-half teams every Raiders fans must hate. We call him St. Villapiano after this as he invented a new prayer for the kids of Las Vegas to recite hating on the Kansas City Chiefs. He also tells us why the Miami Dolphins also deserve the venom of Raider Nation. Phil also discusses his numerous charitable efforts and how much he values giving back in the community. Enjoy the show...and the legend that is Phil Villapiano.

We're back on our Live Tuesday podcast discussing the latest Raiders roster signings. We delve deep on the Raiders CB situation, AFC West: LA Chargers review, and is Donald Penn on his way out? Scott Gulbransen, Scott Winter and special guest co-host Tony Cordasco start talking about the Raiders continued (and continuous) roster moves. Just a few days after bringing in some free agents in, and talking glowing about them, the team cut several lose while singing some new undrafted free agents, the team also signed some veteran free agents too. Cordasco believes Switzer is a big deal for Gruden's Raiders. The team talks about how Jon Gruden is a charismatic coach in a mold you just don't find much in the NFL anymore. Gruden isn't wasting any time in making roster changes if a player doesn't fit his style of play and attitude. Also, they pinpoint the fact the NFL is worried that Gruden will be wildly successful. As Cordasco said: "Gruden has a target on his back." Gulbransen also leads a discussion on how Gruden is truly channeling Al Davis and is more like the enigmatic late owner than many believed. We also talk about the Raiders offense that was recently ranked just 20th in the NFL. Cordasco, Winter and Gulbransen all believes Oakland is in the Top 10 - perhaps Top 5. Finally the team discusses the overhaul of the Raiders cornerbacks and what it might mean for the team in 2018.

This past weekend, the Silver and Black Report - the companion radio show to this website - broadcast its first show on CBS Sports Radio 1140-AM in Las Vegas. The weekly show will be heard every Sunday from 8am-10am. It's also streamed live on the Radio.com website and app. The Silver and Black Report hit the airwaves for the first time this past weekend as our own Scott Gulbransen, Scott Winter and Matt Gutierrez hosted the first episode on Entercom's CBS Sports Radion 1140-AM in Las Vegas. The weekly Raiders-focused radio show will combine news, analysis, and national and local guests all focused on Raider Nation. The first show included an in-depth look at the coming NFL Draft with national draft expert Dane Brugler from NFL Draft Scout. Brugler zeroed in on his mock draft prediction for the Raiders through the first four rounds of next week's amateur draft. He was high on Georgia linebacker Roquan Smith in the first, but didn't feel Washington defensive star Vita Vea was the right choice for new coach Jon Gruden. In the second hour, the team welcomed Las Vegas Stadium Authority board member Tommy White who gave Raider Nation and update on stadium construction. White said the project is moving at a more rapid pace with the team already reaching the 35-40 feet level below ground where they will pour the foundation of the $1.8 Billion stadium. The show runs live in Las Vegas every Sunday from 8am-10am on CBS Sports Radio 1140-AM, and can be streamed live anywhere in the world via the Radio.com app available for iPhone and Android.
