BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK Welcome back to the show! We are Samoans talking sports and highlighting Pacific Islander athletes as we prepare to launch into NFL training camps and preseason games. Congrats to Texans LB Henry To'oto'o for his contract extension! We'll also discuss the possibility that Rams WR Puka Nacua may be suspended to start the season due to offseason conduct. Much more to get into, including new contracts for the best RBs in the league, as well as whether or not the 49ers are cursed, seeing all the many injuries piling up to begin camp. Also we'll talk on the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame class, Hard Kocks Seattle on HBO catching DL Brandon Pili pushing his body to the limit at Hawks camp, the Tafuna Warriors football team traveling to Utah and our Viral Trends of the Week as well as our catch up with some news stories back home in American Samoa.
