I'm not thrilled with players signing with Project B for a lot of reasons (not least is it reminds me too much of LIV Golf). And it feels like a conflict of interest for Nneka as WNBPA Prez.
But my real ire is for WNBA leaders, . . . #wnba>>

Apparently Iowa State decided to try an experiment and see how many DBs can be injured and still be able to beat a conference team. The answer is one less injury than they actually had. That certainly puts a dent in the conference championship odds.

Remember that Key & Peele skit of Luther, Obama's anger translator, where Obama would say something calm and measured, and Luther would express what angry thing Obama really felt? Sophie is Caitlin's anger translator. #wnba

Clark in her exit interview, per Indy Star:
"First of all, I have great respect for Phee. I think she made a lot of very valid points. I think what people need to understand is we need great leadership in all levels. ... This is a moment we have to capitalize on. ... Phee said it all."

"As White, Boston and Odyssey Sims got up to leave the podium, the 48-year-old coach could not resist taking one last swipe at the WNBA before heading back to Indianapolis.
'I didn’t even get a chance to get fined,' she quipped."

So much to unpack in Phee's retelling of Cathy's comments yesterday. Stil working through it now that the gameis over. But Cathy is a piece of work saying players should be grateful for the media revenue she brought in when *none of it is making it to the players!* #wnba

By season-end, the Fever were essentially GSV: GSV was built with players other teams didn't protect proving their old teams wrong; Indy was built with late cast-offs like Aari, Sims, Bibby, Powers, Peddy proving their old teams wrong (Sparks in particular should be kicking themselves!) #wnba

Ok, Aces, in exchange for doing that to my Fever I need you to beat the hell out of PHX. With former Hawkeye Meg, Cedar Rapids native Kiah, and one of my 5 (or so) fave W players JYo, you've got my cheers in the finals. #wnba

It's *because* I'm a Fever fan I want us to lose this game. A 7 game against PHX may kill us. Figuratively in terms of scores, but maybe literally the way players are dropping. It's been an amazing season though #wnba

When Nneka's time at Madam Prez is up, Phee needs to lead the W Players Association. That exit interview was almost as amazing as her game on the floor. #wnba

I haven't had an opportunity to watch, just peek the stats now and then, but how on earth does a team score 30 in the 3rd and 2 in the 4th?? #wnba

Acetaminophen is so commonly used that saying there is a bare correlation with its use in pregnancy is like saying something is correlated with breathing air or drinking water. Meaningless. This is a weird cruelty to leave pregnant women no recourse for pain, and to make current moms feel guilty.

The Liberty deserve to miss the playoffs entirely next season. They'll be hard pressed to find a better coach than Brondello. The Storm should be getting her on the phone and making her feel really comfortable in Seattle post haste. If Sandy isn't coaching in 2026, the W is horribly broken. #wnba
