A new report from The Armstrong and Getty Radio Show has sent shockwaves throughout the sports world after it was revealed that members of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders may have purposefully allowed their star quarterback to get sacked multiple times after he refused to kneel during the National Anthem.
If true, this would essentially mean that an NFL football game was illegally thrown over anger that one of the teams star white players did not believe that kneeling during the nations anthem was the correct way to protest supposed racial injustice in America.
In other words, an epic level scandal.
During the anthem, virtually the entire team was seen kneeling other than the teams coaches and star quarterback Derek Carr. Unfortunately, this may have not set well with the teams offensive line as they were apparently the players who spearheaded the entire idea to kneel as a team in the first.
“This is one hell of a scandal with the NFL, could ruin the whole league,” claimed the show before detailing the fact that Carr was sacked two times in a row on the teams second drive and that the teams usually dependable center snapped the ball at the wrong time in three different instances. Extremely capable receivers also made multiple “weird” drops of passes thrown by Carr that T.V. announcers even noted at the time.
The radio show then revealed bombshell “insider information” from an “extremely reliable” source who claimed that members of the Oakland Raiders did indeed throw the game as a sort of punishment for Carr choosing to not use the countries anthem to make a leftist political statement.
IIRC, Lee's health was declining, and he was remotely broadcasting from Arizona, but wanted to cut down to 4 or even 3 days a week, due to the rigors of the job. My guess is that, being somewhat caustic to begin with, his demand to cut back his work schedule was the final straw. Don't think they even gave him a chance to say farewell on the show. He signed off the end of one show (think it was midweek), and the next day, Sussman had moved from his evening show to the 5-9 slot.
Melanie Morgan left KSFO about a year after Lee, but was on "America's Morning News" out of DC for a while. She has her own website, still fighting the good fight against the Lame Stream Media.
I was wondering what happened to Barbara Simpson. She was probably the last person I was listening to there. When did she get fired?
I looked it up, and Barbara Simpson is 80 now. On the radio, she never sounded her age. A few years ago her daughter was charged with elder abuse. That surprises me, because it’s hard to imagine her being triffled with. Perhaps she was my favorite KSFO host. They had some that I didn’t hear on for a long period who were good. Michael Savage was great when he was a local host. He dropped some of his best stuff when he went national.
I think Barbara Simpson got ‘let go’ about four years ago.
The big problem is she wanted to do focus on doing her talk show, period. That used to be enough.
Now, most station managers want The Talent to also communicate to people on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube. Many stations think this will pull in younger listeners. I keep hearing that most people under 40 are NOT listening to terrestrial radio, let alone AM terrestrial.
If they do listen to radio, it’s more apt to be online or a Podcast. I don’t do Podcasts or listen online, so I am shut out of most talk radio worth hearing. Maybe one day I’ll get into it. Not today.
This is one hell of a scandal with the NFL...
That’s why I think the owners (and players!) screwed up.
What’s next? Is the Verizon guy in the commercials gonna protest? Flo from GEICO?
One can only hope...
;-)
When did 910AM go off the air?
Oh, I guess about a year ago. Woke up one morning and they were simply gone! A business without a heart, radio is.
