(01:14):
The other way is through our talk back feature. And
if you have the iHeartRadio app, it's free. It's easy
to download. If you don't have it, you just download
it onto your iPhone or Android whatever, and then go
to AM thirteen under the zone on it and there's
a couple of buttons. One you click a white button
just to listen to the shows, and then there's a
red button.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
There's a little white microphone in the center of it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
If you push that button, you can leave us a
message up to thirty seconds, fifteen twenty, twenty fives up
to thirty seconds and assuming it's clean and arable and
all that kind of stuff, will err it. That's your
way to reach us. And when we start giving away
tickets to long morn football games, and we will next week,
(01:58):
when we start to do that, that will be the
way that you have to utilize us is through the
talkback system.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So you have to do that. That's that's the way
you have to do it, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Speaking of as I was, it was a moment ago
about the text line. We have that opening. We've had
some people weighing in already. We mentioned that it's of
course twelve days to kick off for Texas, so it's
Calt McCoy days. I mentioned Earl Thomas days. Our good friend,
(02:30):
the savant of social media CB up in the Pacific
Northwest said see Marin's war number twelve. He did, for
those of you who remember him from the mid nineties,
as was Tony Jeffrey or has Mac sometimes called him
Tony Jeffries. He did, he did, and he called Aaron
Humphrey Aeron Humphries sometimes. It also reminded me of the
(02:53):
days when Tom Landry was coaching the Cowboys, and you'd
got to be at those news conferences, and coach Landry
might have some difficulty, uh with some of the names,
like Phil Po's deck, the guy who had a lot
of holding penalty.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He'd say, I ow uh uh.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Pazdak, I had some travel in there with Uh, we
had some holding penalties in there. Uh. We got a
good cornerback and uh, Hogan Bloom who backs up Danny White,
I want.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
To do that. Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And then and then he would talk about, you know,
a certaintea in Washington, Atlanta, Sat Lewis Philadelphia and they
were playing San Diego and he was talking about their kicker,
raf the nurse Gunny Good kicker Ralph ben Rischi. So
coach coach Landry had those in the day. Uh. When
(03:52):
we were talking about the new kickoff rule, and the
first time I saw it in a preseason game when
they showed that landing zone, I just clicked over and
I thought that somebody paint their field wrong. Though that
was done by computer digitally for the telecast showing where
the ball lands in that quote unquote landing zone. Uh,
so you can do that. Somebody said, the new kickoff
(04:14):
rule reminds me of electric football.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I had one of those, you know, the electric football games.
We put the players out there and and they just
kind of a lot of them just kind of run
around in circles and they might go over to the side.
I had one that Tutor games t U d O R.
Tutor Games used to come out with one. It was
called Super Bowl Football and it was electric football game.
(04:40):
But it would always it would come out the next year,
but it was the field from the prior year.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So this is how old I am. I was a
little kid.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I got the field from Super Bowl three, Jets, Colts,
Joe Namath, the whole bit I had. I had that one,
had a buddy who had the one from Super Bowl four.
Chi's vikings had always ran one year by high. When
you had that, well, we quickly grew bored with the
with the possibility of actually running an actual football game
with eleven versus eleven, we would just doing racist to
(05:10):
see who could make it all the way down again
with the little felt footballs would have that. But that
might not be a bad comparison. And some of they
said when I was talking about the passing of Phil,
Donna Hughes and Phil walked and jogged so Oprah could run.
It's true good way to good way to describe that.
All right, a couple of stories that I wanted to
get to before we coming up in a few minutes.
(05:33):
We'll hear more from Steve Sarkisha updates, And there is
an update on this bronze medal kerfuffle thing with Jordan
Chiles being awarded the bronze medal on the women's floor
exercise and then Romanian Federation complained and said the uh,
(05:56):
it should not have been given to her because the
the inquiry was filed too late, and the International Olympicamy
in the Court for Arbitration and Sport agreed and said, yep,
so as a result of that, on of Barbosu is
the one is the rightful winner. And then the US
(06:19):
Olympic Committee said, that's not true. We've got video evidence
that shows that the inquiry was launched, the request made
at forty seven seconds when you had sixty and the
cis the Court of Arbitration said we're not going to
take that evidence into it, and the IOC agreed with
them and said, nope, on of Barbosu is the rightful
(06:43):
bronze medal winner, and the US Olympic Committee said that's
not true. We're going to continue our pursuit of an appeal. Meanwhile,
Romania had a bronze medal ceremony for Barboso last Friday,
and she said she hoped that her teammate who had
appeared forth would appear who had finished and fourth would
(07:07):
also get a bronze medal as well as Jordan Chiles Uh.
She said that that's you know, she thought they would
do that. So then the International Olympic Committee went and
they called on the US Olympic Committee went can you
can you get with Jordan Chiles and tell her we
(07:29):
need her to return that bronze medal today, according to
Christine Brennan the USA, today, Jordan Chiles has no plans
to return that medal. Brennan reported that Chiles, as in
the United States, still as possession of the bronze medal
that was awarded her in the floor exercise. There are
(07:53):
no plans for her to return that bronze medal, as
US officials say they plan to appeal with the US
Olympic Emperi Olympic Committee said was significant procedural errors by
the Court of Arbitration for Sport. That appeal would presumably
go to the Swiss Federal Tribunal. So she said, I'm
(08:13):
not I'm not returning it. I'm I'm gonna hold on
to the deal. And then the young lady who won
the gold medal, who barely finished second to and had
a great run Rebecca Androgi, and she finished second to
(08:37):
Simone Biles in the overall and then won the gold
in the floor exercise, and Biles won the silver, and
then that set the stage for the bronze mental controversy.
But Androji says this is all ridiculous. Her quote, it's
a mess. We don't know what the end will be like.
But the girls ask for an appeal of notes. You
can review everything that's happening. But I really don't know
(09:00):
how the federation is going to solve this. So they
were saying it's ridiculous and they should just go ahead
and give give the medals to all of them, the goal,
the bronze medals to all three of those, the third,
fourth supposed to redone, third, fourth and fifth place finishers
(09:22):
on that one other story, and I don't know if
you've you've heard about this, but there's some stuff going
on in the w NBA. By the way, congratulations as
well to Kaitlyn Clark, who set the single season assist
record for a rookie. I think she's like at three
(09:43):
hundred and twenty five or something. Passed Tisha Pincero, who
was quite a player in her own right during the time,
but Caitlyn Clark passed her. Of the weekend now there's uh.
There's a federal lawsuit that has been filed by Dereka Ham,
who was traded from the Las Vegas Aces to Los
(10:04):
Angeles in January of twenty twenty three. This lawsuit that
was filed last Monday was filed against the WNBA as
a whole and the Aces in specific, alleging that because
of her pregnancy, she was subject to quote repeated acts
of intimidation, discrimination and retaliation from the Aces and then
(10:26):
was traded to the Sparks. She also alleges the WNBA
failed to properly investigate the issue, and she said that.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Becky Hammond was.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Right at the forefront of it and said that she
was really really difficult on her and all that.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Hammond has spoken and said that's not true.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
She reiterated yesterday what she said previously about the hand betrayed.
She denied that the Aces mistreated her or traded her
just because she was pregnant. She and it was weird
because the Ace has played this part. Yesterday in Las Vegas,
and so Hammond was asked about the lawsuit the postgame
(11:13):
press conference, and she said, quote, here's some facts. I've
either been in the WNBA or the NBA for now
twenty five years. I've never had an HR complaint, never,
not once. I still didn't actually because Dereka didn't file
any she didn't file with the Players Union she didn't
file with the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Those are facts.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's also factual that nobody made a call about training
her into Atlanta called us in January twenty three. That's
a fact. So it just didn't happen. I'm sorry the bullying.
I spoke with her every day. If she wanted to practice,
she practiced. If she didn't, she didn't. Over the top care.
Actually over the top care. That was her response. A
(11:51):
spokesperson with the WNBA said today, we are aware of
today's legal filing and we are reviewing the complaint. So
there it was, and it'll This will probably go on
for a while before we hear more. I have a
feeling we haven't heard the last on either side of this.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
This thing may be going on for a bit.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
All right, Up next, we get back to football, and
we'll hear from Long Range head coach Steve Sarkisian when
we continue on sports Radio AM thirteen to under the
