"Chronicle Live Tonight" on Comcast Sportsnet and Assorted notes


I will guest tonight on Comcast Sportsnet's excellent talk show, "Chronicle Live"; talking about the NFL, Raiders and Niners, and the Giants playoff chances. We also might delve into the college football season.

Chronicle Live is hosted by Greg Papa, fresh off, thank god, by the last Raiders NFL pre-season game in Seattle last night. What to make of the Raiders? I have always told people that I don't like to dwell on meaningless practice games that are nothing more than glorified images. The Raiders have serious issues; they look confused on defense and have some spark on the offensive part of the field. And about 100 great running backs. I say you give the ball to Darren McFadden and Michael Bush and try to work out a trade with Justin Fargas for a linebacker.

MADDEN LINE: John Madden had a funny line during his morning schmooze fest on KCBS. Responding to anchor, Stan Bunger's lament about the "shoddy" ESPN game production of last night's Boise State-Oregon contest, Madden agreed, and said further that indeed the production was "shoddy and 'there's another 'sh-word' I could use." Here, here, coach.
