Ballinesian | Ep 221 - Pacific Islander NFL Watchlist, Ranking Charger Frustrations vs Cardinals, Chargers-Raiders Bet

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK Welcome to Samoans talking Sports. This week we're diving deep through Week 1 NFL results for Pacific Islander players (rookie debuts, standout performances, Player of the Week Award) as well as recapping all the games we watched: Patriots-Seahawks to open the season, Rams and 49ers in Australia, NFL Redzone early slate, Cardinals at Chargers, Cowboys at Giants on Sunday Night Football and Broncos at Chiefs on MNF. Comment names for us to add to the current Pacific Islander NFL Player List. Shout out to Kendrick Bourne (8 targets, 8 catches, 75 yards) and Simi Fehoko (tackle, blocked punt, NFC Special Teams Player of the Week) for their performances in the Cardinals win vs the Chargers. We'll rank the 5 Most Frustrating Realizations from the Chargers loss and start lighting some fires under these coaches' seats. Embarrassing loss to open the season, and the schedule doesn't get any easier. Also, Chargers-Raiders game coming up in Week 2, so we had to place a bet on the game. Trash bag necklace, anyone? We'll close with some territorial updates in Locals News: The Governor goes on a media tour to defend the $10M investment ("not lost") and disbanding the ASTCA Board ahead of its Fono hearing, Gov. Pula submits his official comments to BOEM on Deep Sea Mining ("against" it but may not be able to influence what happens in federal waters), and Samoans in Alaska finally get Voter Misconduct case dismissed.
