After listening to your clip of this show, I want to make the following points:

1. Responsible media attempts to contact the principals involved in a matter prior to reporting it. I am not hard to find. Everything that Rich Lord implied I think is totally inaccurate. It is weird when people attribute feelings and beliefs and opinions to me that I do not possess and in this case, opposite than the way I feel.

I am good with Tania Ganguli, and have long had a great deal of respect for her work, before she came to Houston, and even more after she did. Beat reporting helps the fan experience, and the recent trend of having more people covering Texans camp is a net-positive to fans. I have long worried about how media can continue to pay for providing detailed coverage, and the possible trend of teams in general squeezing neutral voices out of team reporting.

2. I didn't have any problem with her questions of Arian Foster. I'm not sure there is anything he would be allowed to answer or would want to answer in response to most questions right now, but I certainly will defend media members' ability and right to ask questions of most sorts.

3.The term "cat fight" is sexist in most uses not involving felines. I shouldn't have to explain that in 2014. I am a human being, with a husband and kids, and repeated use of the term "cat fight" particularly in the context of what was being discussed is dismissive, retrograde and repulsive.

4. I know personally that if you say enough words, particularly on live radio, you will likely say some that are regrettable. To paraphrase the great philosopher, David St. Hubbins, “It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.”

That segment was ill-conceived, and as it related to me, not a news story one bit. I am an avid listener of sports talk radio and often provide actual quality football content that is good for discussion on radio. Never been a fan of objectifying human beings for stupid radio bits. Even less so when my name gets dragged in. I dearly hope that this can be an object lesson of What Not To Do, Hello This Is 2014, Try To Be Better Than This. And is the best illustration that the season needs to start so that there is actual news to report.

Thanks,

Steph

How low have we sank?  Sports Radio 610 Drive Time Host is reporting a difference of opinions by two female media members as a Cat Fight.

TABLOID

As I listened to Rich "go over the top" about Arian Foster's behavior towards the media,  I thought, "What man cares about a man talking to him".  It's beyond comprehension as I patiently awaited some Texans football news, Rich went on to report on to report a disagreement between two media members.  Below is the audio

CAT FAT AUDIO

I find this laughable, now media are reporting media?  I know they were trying their best in a "country club" way to play up Cat Fight but for Rich to act like he wanted them to go further, is disgusting. Rich says he's trying to get the two participants in some kind of physical confrontation as if these two ladies would even notice his existence.

Bottom line, when I say Tabloid Media, this is what Sports Radio 610 has become. Fresh out of Arian Foster not talking to them to reporting on a disagreement between two media members.

THAT'S GOSSIP!  I don't give a damn if Stephanie or Tania disagrees with each other when there is football to be discussed. And Surely I don't want to hear it from Rich Lord who probably forgot where NRG stadium is located

Rich Lord is outdated, ancient, 90s radio. Outside of a old white guys, I really do not know anyone that likes him.

They are all too giddy to report gossip but when it comes to football, crickets.  Here is the funniest part, if Rich Lord was still the Texans Sideline Reporter, he would not be blasting Arian Foster?  Rich Lord also said one of the Texans Biggest problems is Fan Relations, is this clown really on the radio in 2014?
