Amari Cooper said he wanted the opportunity to finish what he started.

His words not mine.

Apparently, whatever he started is now finished because he is.

That plus more on Friday's edition of the Locked on Raiders podcast for September 5th, 2025.

We didn't have any calls or texts on Thursday's show.

We had the first crossover edition of 2025. Nick Cattels from Lockdown Patriots joined the show. He was really good. I enjoyed the crossover with him. I thought he was fantastic. And hopefully you enjoyed that as well. That was the very first one he's ever done as a part of the lockdown podcast network.

He's new to the network.

And again, he's a really good, talented radio host. So hopefully you enjoyed that as much as I did. But very informative as far as I'm concerned. But getting back to regular schedule of programming, we will get your calls and text. We close up the show segment number three against 707,4-6-9-3.

I do it every Friday throughout the course of the year. 18 weeks long, 17 games, 18 weeks, obviously. But yeah, that's what I like to do traditionally on Friday.

So we'll do that in segment number two here in segment number one.
