Apropos of nothing: A'ja is 29 years and 62 days old, which is
*almost exactly* the same age at which Maya Moore played her last WNBA game in 2018. Can't help but wonder what could have been.

I’m not a person who enjoys (or really tolerates) much violence or gore in anything I watch but last night I finished season one of Invincible

Not sure how I stuck it out other than just the overwhelming desire to know what the f was up with Omni Man

This is absolutely wild. All 10 starters in the #WNBA Finals are Black women. And you use this photo of 1. A white woman who hasn't played since the All-Star break and 2. A white woman eliminated in the first round. 3. With neither team in the Finals.

Someone should pass that 2016 proposal around again.

And I do see the challenge in a ref committing to exclusively working the WNBA given the current length of the season. But there are plenty of other investments that can be made now, and you know eventually they will want to lengthen the season.

4Q, 6:45 | Touchdown, Nebraska.

Nyziah Hunter catches the screen pass, breaks a tackle, loses a shoe, and scampers into the end zone for the 59-yard touchdown.

That puts Nebraska's offense at 250 yards for the day.
