Why are the Fever ranked first in the Commissioner’s Cup in the East over the Liberty? Both are 2-0, and the Liberty have the greater point differential. #wnba

We’re in the midst of an exciting third quarter between powerhouses Liberty and Aces, and the announcers are talking about…the Fever. #wnba 🙄

When he was 11 years old, Davin Vann witnessed his sister drown.

His path to finding peace has been nothing short of miraculous.

Hope you’ll give this a read.

A journey toward forgiveness: Davin Vann has finally found himself years after his sister's death
Vann is the Wolfpack's senior leader -- a fan favorite, even. But this notoriety is something that has taken him years to accept.

Leaving the Constitutional convention in 1787, Ben Franklin was stopped by Elizabeth Powel who asked, “Well, Mr Franklin, what have we got, a Republic or a monarchy?”

His response: “A republic, madame, if you can keep it.”

Go keep the republic.
