They were talking about some Kentucky player from Oklahoma who’s always wanted to play Texas, and for some reason, the broadcast felt the need to mention he went to prison? The red folks in CFB are insane

In the wise words of one Sophia Petrillo, the 2025 #WNBA season was the best of times, and it was the worst of times ⬇️

It’s kind of hard to care about hoops when the country/world seem to be crumbling day by day in ways I’ve never seen in my lifetime

This week’s column is rather short and sweet ⬇️ A’ja Wilson is truly 1 of 1. Let her continue to add to her resume. In the same breath, we will never see another run or player like her again.

People that have never heard of the word “fiduciary” are using words like that today and I think that’s pretty funny

🚨 #WNBA Offseason Calendar is LIVE 🚨 130+ players 700+ games 20 leagues across Europe, Australia, and USA See below for links and general info ⬇️

Who knew more playoff basketball would mean there’s more to talk about? The #WNBA Semifinals have proved to be a battle of the benches. Wrote on how that trend should continue tonight with Game 3s on the menu ⬇️

In the short time @southernsylvs.bsky.social and I have been label mates, I’ve learned so much about the game. I’m sure you will too.

The playoff race is hot, and I believe in patterns. If I didn't cover every team, it wasn't done as a slight, I promise.

One thing about a Fearless SC writer, we're gonna call out a commissioner. Great work from @christanwnba.bsky.social here.

Inside you there are two wolves. One, wants Jessica Berman to step down. The other, demands Cathy Englebert steps down. Both wolves are correct.

Mispronouncing Natalie Nakase’s name Failing to condemn racism and hate speech Attempting to shortchange the first Native-American owned sports team to sell it to a Trump benefactor Tilman Fertitta #WNBA Engelbert has proved not to be the leader the league needs escorting it into the future

“He was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.” Best piece I’ve seen.

Skylar Diggins apologized for not answering any questions during the last postgame press conference as part of her answer to a question about the leadership from herself and Nneka Ogwumike at this crucial part of the season. Original Q by @christanwnba.bsky.social #SeattleStorm #NothingButStorm

Verbal altercations with teammates led to Alysha Clark’s trade request, multiple league sources confirmed to Off The Record. Sources also tell Off The Record that Seattle’s coaching staff did little to nothing to stop it.

After being traded by the Dallas Wings to the Minnesota Lynx, DiJonai Carrington’s new focus is one that’s all too familiar to her: competing for a #WNBA championship. A new edition of Beyond the Box Score shows just how the 2024 MIP recipient will help do that. open.substack.com/pub/offthere...

It's difficult to lose a person + writer like @christanwnba.bsky.social, but we've always hoped to elevate anyone (Writers and photographers) that joined our team. Christan has been vital to us since becoming one of the first writers we added and was supportive of CSS well beyond our Storm coverage

Some personal news: It’s been a ride with @circlingseasports.bsky.social in a year and a half, but my time on the Storm beat has come to an end. This means I’m diving headfirst into @fearlesssc.com / Off The Record W to increase my coverage and amplify stories in the W - on and off the court.

On a WNBA-leading 142 assists, Mercury linchpin/All-Star Alyssa Thomas leads the league in assist points (363) #MVPWatch

Shuffle is on a smashing run this morning

Indiana had been trapping Paige Bueckers to start this one, good adjustment here. Catches and waits for a bit. Boston is up there, one dribble and quick advance. Nice roll by Li for 2.

The way some of these fans think media members are supposed to be fans of the teams we cover truly makes my head hurt

Gabby Williams is *2nd* in the WNBA in minutes played (745) Skylar Diggins is *3rd* at 717 Nneka Ogwumike is *6th* at 688 Ezi Magbegor is 22nd at 609 Erica Wheeler is 26th at 596 Alysha Clark is 60th at 402 @circlingseasports.bsky.social

Alysha Clark is 3-for-24 on 3s since June 20th In 8 of 9 games, she hasn’t scored 8 points or more 8 times. Shes averaging just under 17 minutes in that span @circlingseasports.bsky.social

This is so fire

Swish Happens Here. @christanwnba.bsky.social looks at: -Angel Reese's first half -All-Star snubs (he's got some gripes) -The New York Liberty without Jonquel Jones fearlesssc.com/swish-happen...

Humbled to launch this project with some incredibly talented people.

Swish Happens Here is a weekly column focused on everything #WNBA, on *and* off the court for Fearless SC This week, I touched on the following: - WBB is growing no matter who you like - All-Star snubs - An MVP sitting at home - Angel Reese’s sheer dominance

Storm taking quite a bit to get to the presser. Been about 12 minutes. Can imagine what that means

For a team that’s only lost 4 games since the start of June, I’ve said “this has to be the worst game of the season” too many times and the actual worst loss of the season has presented itself

Storm fans, let it out. This is a safe space.

FINAL: Sun stun Storm, 93-83 *Sun went on 14-6 run in the last 5 minutes of the 4th *Outscored 27-9 in the 4th Diggins: 23/4/7 Williams: 21/5 rebounds Magbegor: 13/5/3 Wheeler: 10/7 @circlingseasports.bsky.social

Seattle simply cannot afford a loss to a 2-16 Sun team. Any team can get beat on any given night. Sure. But not when the other team isn’t putting up a fight

This Skylar Diggins off-ball thing Seattle does to start second halves isn’t ideal to get things started. Takes too long for the team to find a rhythm normally

This alone was one of the biggest reasons why I was team Malonga to Seattle before most accepted that the team wouldn’t target a guard
