The Morning Tailgate

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

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.

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.

I used to love starting my raider day with heidi, clay and vinnie. Heidi always brought great insights, and would often disagree with the others with valid reasons. Vinnie is great to listen to, especially when he regales us with a variety of stories from his long career of covering major stars across all sports. And clay steered the boat with an understated sense of humor. All of that went down the drain when heidi was let go (presumably because she’d say some anti raider things, and we all know how thin skinned mark davis is to hear any criticism), and lyndsay brown was brought in, who went on to hijack the show with her constant yelling and screaming and interrupting of the other hosts. It used to be an even distribution of air time between heidi clay and vinnie. No more, id say its not 65% lyndsay shouting, 30% vinnie, and poor clay is relegated to speak just during the segment intros. Lyndsay has made this show unlistenable….the only times i listen now are on the podcasts when they interview people, because thats the one time lydnsay doesnt interrupt people. But she still ruins it by asking totally random questions (ie, marcus johnson is on talking about raiders, and lyndsay asks “what are your thoughts on the seattle Seahawks offensive line?” Like, really? Its a shame, this used to be a great show.
