Tim is back from a week of vacation to join Steve and talk football. In his absence last week, Steve and guest host George Plaven finished 2-1-2. This week they recap their pushes and keep trying for that evasive perfect week.

With Tim on vacation, Steve and George pick the week’s winners and losers.

The boys went 2-2-1 last week — as middling as you can get. They try to improve with this week’s picks while also talking a bit about the state of the game and the continuing controversy about when to kneel and how to protest.

Tim Trainor and Steve Hill are back after a winning week, and staring at a slate of games that makes them feel pretty good (except for Dalvin Cook’s poorly-timed injury.) Can they capture that critical 5-0 perfect score? Listen along as you watch this weekend.

Due to an equipment failure, our weekly NFL podcast cut out on us about 25 minutes in. But it’s not like there was anything to talk about in the NFL this week right? Sorry about the error, but we have a discussion with Tim Trainor, Steve Hill and East Oregonian sports reporter Eric Singer in here, as well as our picks for next week: Carolina (+9), Atlanta (-8), San Francisco (+7), Denver (-2.5) and Indianapolis (+13).

We’ll be back, in our entirety, next week. Thanks as always for listening.

Wildfires again topped the news cycle, with Rep. Greg Walden pitching a bill to create healthier forests while funding containment efforts and the Era of Megafires presentation stopping in Pendleton.

Tim, Steve and George have slogged through the first two weeks of the NFL season, going 3-2 against the spread and bringing winners back to Umatilla County. With the Round-Up in the rear view mirror, the pickers prepare to focus solely on football and keep the streak of winning weeks going. This week, the gang picks: Baltimore -3.5, Denver -3, Detroit +3, Philadelphia -6 and Tennessee -2.5.

Host Emily Olson brings favorite Round-Up moments straight from the Round-Up grounds. Plus, news about statewide test scores, a Hermiston Franchise Tax and a group of local firefighters who returned home safe.

Tim Trainor, Steve Hill and George Plaven got out of the gate with a 3-2 week, and fairly good outcomes for their favorite teams. Can they keep the wins coming in  Week 2? Listen in to some fun and laid back NFL talk from Eastern Oregon.

Join host Emily Olson for a conversation with reporter George Plaven about this week’s smoky skies and air quality. Plus, hear about DACA, an attempted kidnapping and a popular tale of unpopular turkeys in Pilot Rock.
