That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast: Supreme Court to hear transgender athletes case; Laney coach Beam celebration of life; plus more news

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Amaury, the US Supreme Court heard opening statements Tuesday for and against transgender athletes whether or not to allow transgender females to be allowed to play on women’s sports teams.

#2 In 2020 the federal law prohibited discrimination employment that would stop transgender women from participating in sports based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

#3 The celebration of life was a tough one to take at the Henry J Kaiser Center in Oakland on Sunday for the late Laney College football coach John Beam. Beam shot at Laney’s fieldhouse on Nov 13 and passed away on Nov 14th., Cedric Irving Jr 27 a former Laney student charged in the murder of Beam. Beam was once a student of Beam’s.

#4 Ironically the A’s canceled the name Sacramento from their name just calling themselves Athletics for the next two seasons but the US Patents office canceled the A’s from calling themselves Las Vegas or Vegas. This could very well could force the A’s to have to rebrand their name from Athletics to some other name if they want to copyright their name for the purposes of revenue from marketing, concession, ticket, stadium rights and branding copy rights. Changing the A’s name would change the face of their history and the A’s name could be lost to baseball history.

#5 The San Francisco 49ers just hung on for a 23-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles to advance to the next round of the playoffs in Seattle. As you might remember the 49ers lost 13-3 on Sat Jan 17th to the Seahawks at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara on the last day of the regular season. Will the 49ers take a page out of that loss to the Seahawks or will Lumin Field and the Seahawks 12th man be ready for the 49ers this Saturday in round two of the playoffs?

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David after Saturday’s 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks how concerned does head coach Kyle Shannahan has to be now going agianst the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round of the playoffs?

#2 There is no escaping that the 49ers offense was flat and that Brock Purdy didn’t get enough protection talk about the O line and some of the injuries that hampered the 49ers.

#3 Going into Philadelphia the 49ers linebacker Dee Winters (ankle) could sit out the game and Tatum Bethune (groin) will miss the game and the 49ers are looking at Eric Kendricks and Garret Wallow to replace them. It should be noted that Kendricks or Wallow were not even on the 49ers roster six weeks ago.

San Francisco 49ers podcast Jeremy Harness:

#1 Jeremy how surprising is it consideirng the San Francisco 49ers just last week had quarterback Brock Purdy throw five touchdown passes on Sunday NIght Football against the Chciago Bears this week the 49ers could only muster a field goal in a 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on their home field in Santa Clara.

#2 If you had to put a finger on it why the Seahawks were so successful in shutting down the 49ers offense and Purdy?

#3 For Purdy he was scrambling and couldn’t get any daylight and had trouble connecting with his receivers.

#4 Purdy’s numbers for Saturday night 19-25 for 125 yards no touchdowns and one interception watching he couldn’t get even one touchdown after getting five last week had to be a shocking trasformation.

#5 Going into the post season do you see a loss like this a huge set back for the 49ers or is this a game that they can regroup from and plan for a better goal for the post season?

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor: 49ers no longer in the mood waive Moody; Kittle out six weeks, Purdy might sit out week 2

SF 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 The SF 49ers tight end and third stringer Jake Tonges’ fourth quarter game winning catch set the tone for what’s to come for the 49ers season?

#2 Despite the win the 49ers waived kicker Jake Moody and 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday’s game “Obviously, I was disappointed we missed two field goals,” Shanahan said. “Missed one, which is a big miss … the next one, (Julian) Love made a hell of a move … We got to clean up the operation. That one wasn’t Jake, that’s the whole operation. We got to do better.”

#3 Tight End George Kittle is out with a hamstring for a few weeks and quarterback Brock Purdy has a toe and shoulder injury. Shanahan said he was more concerned with the Purdy toe injury than the shoulder injury. Purdy could be possibly shelfed for the game in New Orleans Sunday.

SF 49ers podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 What a opener between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. It was a game that truly said “It ain’t over until it’s over” The Seahawks held a 13-10 lead with 3:24 left but the 49ers Jake Tonges caught a four yard pass from quarterback Brock Purdy to get back the lead for the 17-13.

#2 Earlier the Seahawks scored ten points in the second quarter but just couldn’t hold off the 49ers who scored ten points in the fourth quarter that sealed the deal for them.

#3 The 49ers George Kittle was out with a hamstring injury the 49ers have a number of injuries how much did Kitttle’s sitting out for the rest of the game impact the 49ers.

#4 Christian McCaffrey was in question but the 49ers running back got in the game charged up the offense a bit.

#5 It’s off to the Big Easy New Orleans as the 49ers will face the Saints on Sun Sep 14th at the Super Dome will this be a big for the 49ers or will they be able to handle and pull off a win in New Orleans?

SF 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 The first game of the NFL season hasn’t even started yet and CBS Sports has predicted that the San Francisco 49ers will win the Super Bowl and Brock Purdy will be named the NFL MVP. Is it a stretch where you sit or that doesn’t surprise you at all?

#2 Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback great Joe Montana predicts that Purdy will bounce back in the 2025 season. Montana said that Purdy doesn’t make many mistakes and is careful with the football.

#3 49ers open up against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at 1:00pm PT. The Seahawks will be starting at quarterback former 49er Sam Darnold. Darnold has signed a three year $100.5 million deal. Being a former 49er is there any advantage for Darnold knowing the 49ers playbook their strategy and will he have any advantage against the defense going into this game? Also in reverse will it work for 49ers knowing what Darnold could do?

Mac Jones the 49ers quarterback is out with an injury and that brought in back up quarterback Tanner Mordecai who threw 10-13 for 103 yards and one touchdown.

#2 After taking a look at Mordecai can he fill the back up role if Brock Purdy had to leave on a moments notice?

#3 49ers running back Jeff Wilson carried 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown. Talk about his chances to make starter?

#4 49ers wide receiver Malik Turner caught three receptions for 41 yards, looks as if he covered the field and was a good target for Mordecai.

#5 49ers open the season against the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Jalen Milroe and head coach Mike MacDonald question is with all the injuries the 49ers had can they withstand the Seahawks on Sun Sep 7th in Seattle?

#2 Carroll felt right at home while coaching the Raiders to a 23-23 tie. Carroll spoke to many Seattle Seahawks players before the game during warm ups.

#3 Carroll said of being able to play in Seattle for the first pre season game, “It was cool to be here. I loved it here,” Carroll said. “But it didn’t translate to something crazy for me. It was just an opportunity to play in a great setting. Thanks to the league for putting us in this game.”

#4 As far as the game was concerned Raiders starting quarterback Adrian O’Connell went 18-30 for 205 yards and one touchdown and two interceptions.

#5 Raiders next will host the San Francisco 49ers in pre season game #2 on Sat Aug 16th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Talk about this match up it’s not a regular season game but the 49ers fans travel well so there should be lots of excitement for this one.
