Hard to think of A’ja Wilson as anything less than the greatest player in WNBA history. At minimum, she’s had the highest peak.

It would have been the greatest moment in Press Box history if Bryan had corrected Joel, “actually, ‘halfway crooks’ is a term from late Mobb Deep legend Prodigy”

really interesting article, but there's one thing that stopped me in my tracks and wasn't explained at all: Veronica Burton as the third-best player in the league?

I am angry at Aaron Boone despite not being sure what he should have done differently. Something.

CBSSports.com screen capture:

"I think these complaints are often rooted -- subconsciously, in most cases -- in an instinct to infantilize women and a discomfort with seeing women show levels of brute force and aggression typically only seen in men at the highest level of sport. Said uneasiness can be exacerbated when the women in question are Black and members of the LGBTQ community.

But multiple things can be true at once. Those biases can exist and can cloud the conversations around and perceptions of the league, and there can also be a real problem with the style of play and quality of officiating. That's where I land."

"Cheryl Reeve is right," says @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social, who is right www.cbssports.com/wnba/news/ch...

Cheryl Reeve is right: The WNBA's physicality problem has hit a crisis point and officiating needs to change

Reeve's Game 4 suspension was justified, but so was her anger

I, for one, think the Packers are cowards if they don’t get former star HS running back Micah Parsons an offensive touch.

I don’t think Chiles fits in that group, though obviously the point remains

Adi @adijoseph.bsky.social · 15d

I agree with your premise, but on the play in question, Thomas clearly touched the ball before any contact, and the lower body stuff afterward seemed unintentional. That said, I can buy that less contact all season helps keep Collier healthier and allows her to handle that incidental contact.

Cy Young runner-up* Pete Schourek indeed was a southpaw

* in the same way that someone got to win the silver medal when Katie Ledecky was doing long races

Adi @adijoseph.bsky.social · 15d

Hmm maybe it’s a Pete Harnish thing though since it’s really Mets-Reds

(And surely no other Met ever also played for the Reds, particularly no other right handed starting pitcher)
