A reminder that the great Ron Swanson of Pawnee, Indiana, was an Indiana Fever fan.
Sad it’s not still on — much like Detlef Schrempf, Roy Hibbert, Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne, Robert Mathis, Adam Vinatieri and Jim Irsay before her, Caitlin Clark and the ladies woulda been there, too.

“Looks like we got us a troublemaker.”
