35 minutes feels like enough to know that DeWanna has nothing for Dana Evans today www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Aces targeting the Kat Westbeld matchup, lotta Irish on Irish crime these last couple possessions.

LAS VEGAS — New No Offseason Ep! @sabreenajm.bsky.social and I podcasting from a Las Vegas hotel room, talking Phee's comments and fallout w/ @zenakeita.bsky.social, CBA negotiation, work stoppage and, of course, a WNBA FINALS PREVIEW www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha_g...

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

There's so much damage to keep track of, but Elon Musk and Donald Trump and Russell Vought and every gremlin from DOGE are mass child murderers, and should be framed as such in every conversation

My latest feature @theathletic.com I went long about the possibility of a WNBA work stoppage, and its would-be impact On what lessons the W and WNBPA can learn from other sports’ past CBA talks (cc: NHL, MLB esp.), and potential scenarios in these W talks: www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...

cue the Cole Hamels PTSD

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

The Las Vegas Aces have been here before. A third trip to the finals in four seasons. A chance to hang another banner. But the path has never looked like this. They heard the doubters and it fueled them: http://dlvr.it/TNPd8V

If you can't sleep because of that Fever-Aces game, there's a new Business Decision. An emergency episode with @benpickman.bsky.social about what might have been the craziest day in WNBA history — aka Napheesa Collier takes the mic youtu.be/NscPqOpuIjk Or via podcast: rss.com/podcasts/bus...

the WNBA's parity era

Steph White is a magician

With one month remaining before the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement, players believe they are nowhere near a new deal with the league. @sabreenajm.bsky.social explains where things stand ⤵️

FUCK ICE FOREVER

As Serena once said: "I don't think any woman should be down on her knees thanking anybody like that"

By the way, remember when they sold 16% of the league for about 1/4 of what a single franchise is now going for, partly in order to improve their digital output? #WNBA

Cameron Brink being from Portland and having two Fire Pokémon as her favorites is a fun nugget.

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

NEWS at @theathletic.com: Cheryl Reeve was fined $15K after Game 3 in addition to her 1-game suspension, per league source. Eric Thibault/Rebekkah Brunson were fined $500 each Becky Hammon/Steph White fined $1K each for supporting Reeve www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

Americans are not equipped for ties. This is hilarious.

shouldn’t be called Sunday night football if it runs into Monday

In honor of the Mercury's Game 4 on Sunday forcing the Jonas Brothers to move their Phoenix concert to Monday, I debuted a game at the end of our No Offseason Ep: Jonas Brothers lyric or Diana Taurasi quote. CC: @zenakeita.bsky.social/ @sabreenajm.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx-m...

I'm just never going to forgive the Sparks for cutting Maria Kliundikova to keep Mercedes Russell. Cost them a playoff spot.

Becky Hammon and Chelsea Gray make for a helluva ATO combo

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

New No Offseason Ep! Me, @zenakeita.bsky.social and @sabreenajm.bsky.social. We discuss what we expect to have happen in both Game 3s, the dismissals of Sandy Brondello and Noelle Quinn, and the debut of a new game: Jonas Brothers lyric or Diana Taurasi quote. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx-m...

The latest episode of the Zach Lowe show is just perfect 2010s NBA fandom, and exactly the kind of stuff I imagine I would stay up way too late in a common room talking about were I still in college. Made me so happy to think about basketball, a lovely podcast.

heard @alexkirshner.com say on this weeks SZD that we'll all miss weddings when they're no longer happening and felt that big time, i had one this year and there aren't many left in the friend group

Another win for "Fuck you. Make me."

God bless Jordan Poole. God bless media day.

With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined. Cheryl Reeve's tenure: 5768 days Every other WNBA coach combined: 4529 days

New No Offseason Ep! I'll be back on the show on Thursday, but the great @brendanglasheen.bsky.social stepped in like an elite Unrivaled relief player to join @sabreenajm.bsky.social and @zenakeita.bsky.social talking WNBA playoffs, Unrivaled Year 2, CT Sun and more www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7ww...

Raising the H-1B visa fee to $100,000 risks shutting off the pipeline of highly trained physicians, especially in rural and underserved communities. The AMA stands ready to work with the administration and our partners in medicine to exempt health care workers from this policy.

Fun stat from @andytulin.net's treasures today: Kelsey Mitchell’s 23.7 points per game in her brief postseason career is the highest average in league history among players with at least five postseason games under their belt, edging out Cooper’s 23.3 in a 19-game playoff career.

The Sky have officially canceled exit interviews for Angel Reese, Courtney Vandersloot and Ariel Atkins. Exit interviews are voluntary so there are no repercussions for player involvement in this part of the media cycle.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

11-2 run for Indy after A'ja went to the bench with her fourth foul. Don't think A'ja can sit in the fourth quarter, has to be play through foul trouble.

The only players across the WNBA and NBA to collect four league MVP awards before age 30: ◻️ Bill Russell ◻️ Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ◻️ LeBron James ◻️ A’ja Wilson H/T @wnba.com

44 votes for Naz Hillmon for 6POY. Natisha Hiedeman in 2nd with 22, Jessica Shepard with 4, and one apiece for Dominique Malonga and Sami Whitcomb.

This is no longer true 👇. Breanna Stewart now has two of them. #WNBA

not sure how much more evidence Nate Tibbetts needs that DB can't guard Stewie

No surprises here. Since I didn't publicize it elsewhere, my MVP top five were: Collier, Wilson, Thomas, Gray, Aliyah Boston. Slightly different than my all-WNBA first team, where I had Jackie Young in place of Boston, since I like to have a balance of frontcourt and backcourt on those groups.

Dutch late night TV has its take

the 2021 PHX Mercury are having a much bigger impact than I expected today

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

Can the L.A. sports icons chill, please?
