Show #673 - Segment #1: Opinions on the State of the Raiders, firing of Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll on the Hot Seat

Raider Greg is sick this week. He said he hasn't been this sick in years. I'm wishing him a speedy recovery, because I (Randy, the podcast producer) don't want to ever have to talk on the microphone again. I don't even have a mic. Had to talk into my computer monitor. In this segment I shared the audio from three YouTube videos I stumbled on that I thought had interesting content. 1) Former Raiders O-lineman Richie Incognito let his thoughts be known on what he's witnessed from the Raiders offense in 2025, specifically the o-line. 2) Andrew Siciliano on Yahoo Sports with a segment titled, "How did the Raiders get THIS bad? 3) Tom Pelissero on the Rich Eisen show with some insider information on the Raiders coaching staff of 2025.
