It seems like a rite of passage for top athletes to encounter the legendary Scoops Callahan, a character from Dallas radio station 1310 The Ticket who has made a name for himself by asking questions as if he’s a sports reporter straight out of the 1920s. Big names like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and LeBron James have all faced his quirky inquiries.
Now, it was Caitlin Clark’s turn. After the Indiana Fever’s win over the Dallas Wings, Callahan hit her with one of his trademark throwback questions: “Caitlin, Caitlin, after giving the razzmatazz to those Windy City skyscrapers Friday night, what was the biggest wingding you expected to find today in the shindig against these dynamos from Big D?”
Clark’s response? Absolute silence. She was, understandably, left completely speechless by the odd and unexpected question. It’s safe to say this was a moment Clark won’t forget anytime soon.
