You are Locked-on Raiders, your daily Oakland Raiders podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Just win. Just win. The autumn wind is a pirate blustering in from sea with a rollicking song he sweeps along, swaggering voicelessly.

His face is weather beaten.

He wears a hooded sash with a silver hat about his head and a bristling black mustache.

He growls as he storms the country, a villain big and bow.

And the trees all shake and quiver and bake as he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind is a raider, pillaging just for fun.

He'll knock you round and upside down and laugh when he's conquered and won. What's up, Raider Nation? Welcome into another episode of the Locked-on Raiders podcast on this Friday, June 28th, 2019. We are hit the end of the week. We're about to head into the weekend. Hopefully everyone's going to have a good one. But before we get into that, definitely have to have another episode of the Locked On Raiders

podcast. And hopefully you enjoyed everything that you've heard so far this week and we finished off the week strong like we like to do on a Friday. So coming up in today's show, going to have calls straight off that Locked on Raider podcast voicemail line. that's going to be in segment number three kind of traditionally what we've been doing so uh that's coming up

707 654 46693. Anything you want to chime in about your thoughts on anything, it is all good again, 707654-4693. In segment number two, my interview with Tim Twentiman, senior writer and insider for the Detroit Lions. He's on Twitter at T20man.

And it's real simple, man. We're going to be talking to NFC North. There's something that I've been doing for a minute now, kind of going throughout the league. And you guys told me that you wanted me to go through the NFC North. I had the Minnesota Vikings last week. This week, Detroit Lions. Or maybe it was Minnesota Vikings a week before. But either way, Detroit Lions this week, probably next week I'll get a couple different guys on.

I'll get the Packers on and I will get the Chicago Bears on. So for this week, Tim 20man, senior writer and insider for the Detroit Lions. He's on Twitter at T20man. And again, we'll be talking all things, Detroit Lions as we go through the NFC North. And here in segment number one, you know, I had a couple different things I wanted to talk about, but what's been popping up on my Twitter feed, what's been popping up in my email, what's been popping up in my DMs is Amari Cooper, Amari Cooper, and some more Amari Cooper. He's done a bunch of different interviews. He's been on bunch of different networks. He's been doing the whole media circuit. He was on first take. He was on undisputed. He's been on Dallas TV and radio. And the latest of the latest, he was on a video, or there is a video. It's on YouTube. It's been floating around Twitter. He was with Trista Crick from USA Today, and it was about a 15-minute interview,

and they were on Skype, and all the interviews he's been doing pretty much have been on Skype,

except for the ones that he did when he was at his football camp. But the ones on Skype, the audio, I'm not a big fan of it, but, I mean, it is what it is. Just got to have to deal with it. So he was on an interview about 15 minutes and I'm not going to play the whole thing because I want to talk about it.

But I took about a four minute chunk, maybe a four and a half minute chunk.

Gonna play it real quick it's the part that really has to do with the Raiders and and also the Cowboys and that's just about it everything else has to do with like what he wants to do in the in the upcoming season and him playing with Dak and all that other good stuff so I just took about a four minute chunk, maybe four and a minute chunk and I'm about to play it for you here and I'm going to talk about it and I'm going to tell you right now before I even get into it I don't really even kind of care what Amari Cooper has to say I was actually going to avoid it completely but I keep seeing it come up so I figure you know what I go ahead and address it. So let me just go ahead and get into it.

I'll address it.

And if you have any thoughts on it and you want to speak on it,

you can, but that'll be end of it. You know what I mean? Amari Cooper is now a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He's not a member of the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have Antonio Brown now. And again, the Cowboys have Amari Cooper.

So it is what it is.

We will move on as a fan base,

but let's go ahead and speak on it real quick.
