Bonus Pod: Scott Gulbransen Joins Raiders Fan Radio (Mendoza, Mark Davis, Guitar Gods)

Bonus crossover episode. Scott Gulbransen from Silver and Black Today hops on Raiders Fan Radio with Murf for an extended conversation on the Las Vegas Raiders — Fernando Mendoza's rookie preseason performance, why the defense's rough debut under Rob Leonard isn't cause for panic, and why Scott thinks Mark Davis finally deserves credit for building a real football operation around John Spytek, Tom Brady and Clint Kubiak. They also get into what "success" actually looks like for this rebuilding season, the Cousins-vs-Mendoza QB question, and close with a fast-paced "who's the better guitarist" game.

This episode is part of the BLEAV Network. Catch Silver and Black Today and Raiders Fan Radio for more Raiders coverage all season.
