Fernando Mendoza got his first live NFL action Thursday against Arizona — and the film tells a real story. On this episode of Silver and Black Today, Scott Gulbransen breaks down Mendoza's uneven-but-promising preseason debut, his touchdown pass to Jack Bech, and why his growing chemistry with rookie receiver Malik Benson might be the storyline that matters most heading into the season. Plus: Kirk Cousins locks down every first-team rep for a third straight practice, Brendan Jackson lands on IR after his Arizona injury, and the Raiders respond by signing veteran defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi. Scott also digs into Jermod McCoy's rough return from a 20-month injury layoff, Max Crosby's dominant week of practice, the still-unsettled right guard battle between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers, and a shuffling secondary as the Raiders prep for their joint practice and preseason game against the Houston Texans.

April 26, 1970. East Pikeland Township, Pennsylvania. While on a weekend camping trip with his Boy Scout troop, eleven-year old Terry Bowers is discovered dead inside his sleeping bag after having been stabbed four times during the early morning hours. Even though Terry was sleeping outside and there were nearly 30 other people at the campsite, no one reported seeing or hearing anything unusual and the murder weapon cannot be found. An extensive investigation turns up some leads, but no solid suspects, so Terry's murder is never solved and the motive for the crime remains unclear. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the death of Terry Bowers, one of the most perplexing child murders you'll ever find. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Embreeville station of the Pennsylvania State Police at (610) 486-6280 or Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS (1-800-472-8477).

Join us as Lt. Gen. William J. Bowers, Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, steps into the Trident Room to discuss what makes the Marine Corps more than just military service — it's a calling. From the "Marine mystique" that first inspired him as a student to the leaders who shaped his journey, Bowers reflects on the power of purpose, the importance of mentorship, and why every Marine's story matters. The conversation also explores why education remains a strategic advantage for tomorrow's leaders, how young officers can prepare for increasingly complex challenges, and why curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong learning are just as essential as physical toughness. Equal parts leadership lesson and personal reflection—with a few stories about Social Distortion, surfing, and Marine Corps culture woven throughout—this first installment offers an engaging look at the people, purpose, and traditions that continue to define the Corps.
Double Tap Double Tap - Ep 474 August 10, 2026 Presented by This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Giveaways!! GAW Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles Dear WLS Question from Ben B from Kansas Ben B (TLDR from last week: Bought a Bergara B14-HMR that wouldn't group and had a crooked-looking scope. After replacing the rail, rings, and checking the scope, a gunsmith finally discovered the rifle's mounting holes were drilled at a 45° angle from the factory. The manufacturing defect that made proper alignment impossible.)Continuation of the story from where it cut off last week- We looked in there and about half the threaded hole in the receiver was visible through the rail. Well shit… We tried a different rail and it was the same. I decided to contact Bergara to see if they would fix it. I started a warranty case with them and they sent an RMA form and asked me to ship the rifle to them. I sent it over and assumed that everything would be straightened out. After several weeks with zero updates, I called and asked for some kind of information. I even gave them exact instructions on how to replicate the problem. They said they would update me when they got it into their system and when they got started on the inspections. After they had it for a month they finally shipped it back and their conclusion was that the rifle was in spec. About a million emails later and both sides being stubborn, I gave up. Obviously they weren't going to fix it and I was at my wit's end. I brought it back to the gunsmith and had him drill and re tap the receiver holes to a big enough size to line it up. In spec my ass. Ever since then the Bergara name has left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not really on social media and don't know how to get through how bad of an experience I had with them because I think people need to know. I am sorry for the long story but I already left a lot of details out. Just remember you asked for this Shawn Question from Bama Chris I know this will take forever And I'm expecting And answer sometime in about 2029 … Just found out the other day from Savage that my current credit card provider that used to be discover card and is now Capital One is a bunch of anti-gun Cucks … I need to cancel My over 20-year account With this credit card company Actually I have two accounts Cancel them both And find a credit card company That is 2a friendly Any suggestions… This is for Customer-Based Credit line Not Business related Processing. Wouldn't man if it was A car that instead of me getting cash back All of that went towards donations Second Amendment Foundation or other Friendly OrganizationsThanks Five squares second call defense is awesome High Point rules and Jeremy is my spirit animal Question from Anonymous Coward from Kentucky Question from Coward with anonymity from Virginia. I know you have probably said it a hundred times, but I have no experience with 3d printing. What is the best starter printer that's user friendly and capable. Great show, thanks! Question from Peter J from WA Peter J from WA, Dear WLS, I'm interested in either buying a factory ported pistol or having one I own custom ported. Is it really worth the hype? Im debating on either getting a CZ ported P10c or getting my CZ P10F ported. Use case would be more for range but would carry the ported p10c since I carry a non ported one currently. I more than with do what Jeremy or Nick tell me what to do. Thanks Question from eTexNerd from Texas Dear wls, from eTexNerdFirst a big Ole howdy from the upper east side of Texas to Tom Bowers! Question: once Bowers group is running production in Texas, won't I be able to buy his suppressors without federal redtape? I think Texas passed a law to allow intrastate transfer of suppressots made within Texas. I'm a little vague on the legal details but figure Tom being in the industry would know more. Maybe the cartoon savage legal hawk can explain this too. VIVA LA TEJAS!

Last year - Winnipeg Police got a search warrant for an illegal hobo shack on the riverbank in the East Exchange District seemingly operating a bicycle chop shop. Last week - Marty Gold had an exclusive interview with the lawyer of one of the accused, after the controversial case was dropped by the Crown. This week - We review a letter sent to the Winnipeg Sun by police chief Gene Bowers after the warrant was acquired- and in Episode 25 ask listeners to judge whether Bowers owes the citizens of Winnipeg an apology after the case fell apart.Part 1- A brief recap of Marty's report on Sunday about a family told they could leave by employees at an East Kildonan pool after they complained about a pair of “absolutely perfectly symmetrical” breast implants being paraded around by a topless male. Then, an explanation of how his reports about the distortion of annual crime statistics and subsequent interview with lawyer Martin Glazer about the flawed riverbank investigation were incorporated into Kevin Klein's excellent column "Winnipeg's crime statistics no longer reflect lived reality." The publisher of the Sun, Klein stated- "When administrative and legal outcomes become the filter through which crime is counted, the statistics stop reflecting what actually happened in this city. They reflect what the system managed to process and prove... The question worth asking is not whether crime is down on paper. It is whether the paper reflects the street."Every city council candidate should be required to read it and respond.20.05 Part 2- "The article by Mr. Gold demands a response by the Winnipeg Police Service" wrote chief Bowers to the Winnipeg Sun last September, "and Inspector Helen Peters deserves an apology from its author and publisher."Bowers called the column questioning Peter's qualifications to manage the investigation and evaluate if a warrant was needed "a personal attack by a media outlet (that) does not align with the principles of ethical journalism nor does it serve the public interest."As you will hear, considering the flaws Mr. Glazer identified in both the warrant and the investigation - which failed to link the accused to either the shack or to any stolen goods as charged- the last thing Bowers should have been doing was spouting off about how journalists covered the actions of his staff. Bowers and his predecessor, Danny 'Hug-a-Thug' Smyth allowed the mayhem generated by illegal encampments to proliferate and endanger public safety. Was that "ethical"?Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Sun led the way in exposing the violence, theft, and environmental damage allowed by police and elected officials - including former mayor Brian Bowman and then Scott Gillingham - to degrade the quality of life for residents and business owners in the North End, Point Douglas, Downtown, West Broadway, Fort Rouge and West End neighborhoods.35.55- The failure of the high-profile case has attracted the attention of legal minds across Canada- and has resulted in some good questions being raised about how Bowers and his staff could be held accountable. Listen to the potential pathways for members of the public to do so, even if Mayor Gillingham and City Councillors won't. As Kevin Klein wrote- "When major enforcement operationsfall apart in court, police leadership should explain what went wrong rather than go silent. Accountability is not a political attack. It is basic governance."****** The Season Seven Funding Campaign has raised $1630 thus far.

Fair season in Wisconsin brings with it a few changes for livestock exhibitors. Jill Welke chats with Dr. Meg Mueller about her engagement in the dialog. Also, while New World Screw Worm may not make it to the state, Dr. Mueller says it could still deal a financial blow to local producers. Her priorities include sourcing animals from outside the state and making pet owners who might adopt aware of the risks. Wow - severe weather on Wednesday is causing clean-up on Thursday. Stu Muck explains some of the areas of impact, and what's on the radar already this morning. He thinks it's going to be another 'alert day' with severe weather and high winds. Alzheimer's is a disease that does not discriminate. It doesn't matter where you live, or what your financial situation is. It's also random. Dr. Bill Stork, a retired veterinarian in Lake Mills, watched his mother slip away from Alzheimer's. Sunday, he's spearheading "Minds over Mountains" MOMs, in honor of his mother. The event in Lake Mills helps connect people with others handling the disease, researchers investigating it, and fund raising mechanisms to help further research. Stork says he's encouraged by the research progress he's seen in just the past few years. He also reminds people that they can control some of their outcome by thinking about their health today. Pam Jahnke visited with him. All eyes are on nonfat products in the marketplace. Zach Bowers, dairy analyst with EverAg, joins Pam Jahnke to discuss. That non-fat complex has drawn Wisconsin's Class III prices higher, and is likely moving lower now. Bowers says demand for U.S. dairy remains robust - especially cheese. Keeping an eye on what type of dairy product catches the globes attention will be what drives us next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailWe back guest Joshua Bowers about a year after his last appearance, this time with show-and-tell including the Steel Driver rotary that emulates a coil stroke, the Heavy Hand weighted pencil grip (plus an Apple Pencil prototype), and a battery adapter that turns a battery into a power supply and can shift weight off the machine. They discuss foot switches vs wireless/constant-on setups, cord management, and why many artists return to coil-style performance after starting on pen machines. The conversation shifts to how social media escalates tattoo drama into public “movements,” online validation, and public therapy, including examples of inflammatory accusations and appropriation debates. They also warn about corporate consolidation and looming regulations that could price out small makers.Support the show

Welcome to the Dynasty Nerds Fantasy Football Podcast as Rich Dotson, “Handsome Matt,” and “Gorgeous Garret” dig into Superflex startup ADP to find where the market is sharp—and where it's completely losing the plot. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The crew breaks down a top-12 that includes Josh Allen at 1, Bijan Robinson at 2, and Drake Maye at 3—then gets spicy when Jeremiah Love shows up at 9 overall. The consensus: rookie fever is one thing, but paying first-round startup prices for a back without proven “can't miss” insulation is a massive bet. They also call out the head-scratcher of Trey McBride being drafted ahead of Brock Bowers, especially given Bowers' target competition and quarterback upgrade. As they move through rounds three and four, Christian McCaffrey becomes the “win now or bust” fork in the road. If you're drafting CMC there, you're consciously trading away multi-year value for a title shot. In round four, Chase Brown is the name that gets labeled as the biggest “doesn't belong” pick—productive, sure, but viewed as a short-term RB profile being priced like a foundational piece. Meanwhile, the group keeps circling value in younger quarterbacks and receivers who can hold or gain value as the 2027 rookie class pushes older assets down the board.

The new i7 swaps its old 105.7kWh battery for a 112.5kWh pack using Gen6 cylindrical cells, pushing maximum range from 387 miles to 452 miles and DC charging speed from 195kW to 250kW, while adaptive dampers and active rear steering become standard across the whole range.The styling adopts BMW's Neue Klasse design language with slimmer crystal-embedded headlights, a horizontal-slat grille, 22-inch alloys as standard, and up to 500 exterior colour combinations including a new two-tone option. Inside, the i7 becomes the first BMW to offer a front-passenger touchscreen (14.6 inches), gains a 17.9-inch central display and a sweeping 43.3-inch Panoramic iDrive dashboard, while rear passengers keep their 31.3-inch 8K cinema screen and 35-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system.***RIVIAN STARTS R2 PRODUCTION IN ILLINOISRivian has begun production of the R2 at its Normal, Illinois plant, with CFO Claire McDonough confirming the start in a Reuters interview and first customer deliveries expected later this spring. Reservation holders will receive configuration invitations in June, with the $57,990 Launch Edition shipping first, followed by the $53,990 Premium later in 2026 and the more affordable Standard and entry variants arriving through 2027.Rivian expects R2 to cost less than half of what an R1 costs to build once higher volumes are reached in 2027, and the vehicle also underpins the company's broader ambitions including the $2,500 Autonomy+ self-driving package and an Uber robotaxi partnership worth up to $1.25 billion across 25 cities.***GM SAYS NO DELAY TO ELECTRIC TRUCK PROGRAMMEGM publicly denied cancelling any electric trucks after Crain's Detroit Business — citing three anonymous sources — reported that the automaker had indefinitely delayed its next-generation electric truck programme, which had been targeting a 2028 production start for refreshed versions of the Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer, and Escalade IQ. GM told Motor1 that "EVs remain the end game" and confirmed no impact to current electric truck production, though the company gave no timeline for when the next-generation programme might resume.Supplier executives and analysts told Crain's they do not expect a new generation of GM's all-electric truck line until 2030 or beyond, suggesting the delay is substantial even if GM stops short of calling it a cancellation.***SMART #2 SETS UP FORTWO RETURNSmart has unveiled the Smart #2 concept, a two-door, two-seat electric city car that revives the spirit of the original Fortwo, with a production model expected to launch in October 2026. Built on the Electric Compact Architecture platform, it offers an estimated 186-mile range — a dramatic leap over the old EQ Fortwo's 58-mile range — along with a 10–80% charge time of under 20 minutes and vehicle-to-load capability.Expected to measure around 106 inches (2.7 metres) long, the Smart #2 would be smaller than the Dacia Spring and Renault Twingo, placing it among Europe's smallest new EVs at launch.***ID. BUZZ ADDS AWD AND NEW TECHVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles is rolling out a 2026 model year update for the ID. Buzz this summer, headlined by the new Pro 4MOTION variant that pairs a 210kW rear motor with a front motor for a combined 250kW and raises towing capacity to 1.8 tonnes on the standard wheelbase.

The unit supports two simultaneous sessions, accepts direct DC input for integration with on-site battery storage, enables bidirectional charging, and uses an Omni Port combining CCS1 and NACS connectors — all at a claimed 30% lower purchase and operating cost than comparable high-power chargers.***FRANCE SETS 2035 ROAD CHARGING PLANFrance's government has published a national strategy to deploy around 30,000 EV charging points on motorways and national roads by 2035, targeting corridors that carry roughly one third of all traffic despite representing just 2% of total road length. The plan includes approximately 22,000 fast chargers at around 150kW for light vehicles across 900 service areas — a fivefold capacity increase — plus 8,000 heavy-duty charging points across 560 locations.***COKE CANADA ADDS VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCKSCoca-Cola Canada Bottling is expanding its electric fleet to nearly 40 vehicles by adding Volvo VNR Electric trucks in Quebec City and the Vancouver area, building on a 2023 pilot programme that tested six of the trucks in real-world conditions. Each VNR Electric uses a six-battery configuration with a range of up to 440km, and the expansion is supported by a new 180kW Heliox Flex charging station in Quebec City and two additional chargers in Vancouver.***PG&E ADDS CYBERTRUCK TO V2G PILOTPG&E and Tesla have added the Cybertruck to PG&E's residential vehicle-to-grid programme, using Tesla's Powershare Gateway and Universal Wall Connector in what is the first AC-based V2G application approved for California customers.
