DFO Radio: He Was Who We Thought He Was

Last week was one of the least structured Request Lines we’ve done, with the theme simply based around memorializing Denny Green.  Hopefully the Vikings will pay him some respect by naming something in the stadium after him (maybe name the playing surface after him, or open a breakfast-focused restaurant in his honor).

It was kind of an apocalyptic weekend in Los Angeles, as temperatures soared and the sky filled up with ash from a big fire up in Santa Clarita.  Certainly made the sun look interesting.

As a Raiders fan, my weekend came to a screeching halt last night when news broke that Aldon Smith had posted a video of himself blazing up on Periscope, which potentially will lead to an extension of his substance abuse suspension and – possibly – end his NFL career altogether.  Addiction is a very real problem, so he certainly has my sympathy as far as that’s concerned (and it would be very easy to go on a diatribe about how ridiculous it is to punish him for “abusing” a quasi-legal substance in his own home) but what I can’t abide is the obsessive need to DOCUMENT shit like that.  Hopefully whatever happens (presumably him getting dropped from the Raiders) won’t get too messy and they’ll be able to move on with training camp without too many distractions.

Here’s the Spotify link, and as always, enjoy the tunes!
