“The Worst Leadership in the World” — Napheesa Collier, Lynx End Season Taking Aim at WNBA
The Minnesota Lynx held their exit interviews on Tuesday, with Napheesa Collier not holding back when it comes to WNBA leadership.

"We have the worst leadership in the world."
On Tuesday, Napheesa Collier didn't hold back, taking direct aim at the #WNBA and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
My latest on Collier's comments and how the Lynx are again at the forefront of trying to spark change. www.canishoopus.com/minnesota-ly...

A lot of really good and interesting stuff here from @katiebarnes.bsky.social on the current WNBA CBA talks.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been wondering what players think of the WNBA CBA negotiations. I went to Nashville to talk with a bunch of them at AU. Here’s why i found out www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...
WNBA players CBA confidential: Negotiations get mixed reviews
Athletes Unlimited players underscore the importance of housing and retirement plans but swear they won't sweat a missed paycheck or two.

My thoughts on the #SuperBowl that nobody asked for:
I look forward to the commercials the most every year
Big fan of Mike Vrabel (a great story) and Drake Maye (big supporter of Special Olympics, which is close to my heart). I also am a fan of Sam Darnold (also a great story)
