An amazingly candid conversation with former UK Head of Counter Terrorism Neil Basu, who was on the RAVEC committee when the decision was made to remove Prince Harry’s police protection & believes it was done because they didn’t think Harry would leave.

“The Golden State Valkyries’ Ohemaa Nyanin (10 ballots) finished in second place”

Not sure why the OP left this out. The Mercury GM came in third.

Was glad to see it. Guess that answers my earlier question.

Was hoping VB might get an Unrivaled nod. Does this mean that’s out?

Enjoyed the article. Fun team with the kind of heart and hustle that makes them easy to root for. Hope much of the squad returns.

You keep writing “MVP-to-be” and it feels like a record scratch. Post All-Star Break it’s a wide open race with many putting A’ja Wilson in the lead.

Replace any x link with xcancel.com and it gets you the text without feeding the X advertising, algorithm, tracking, etc. A great way to share X links when you can’t avoid it. (You might have to cut off the url at “?”)

You got your upset. 🤞🏾 your probabilities hold. If they can get 2 wins in these next 3 home games, I think LAS will help them get the rest of the way.

Great story. Enjoyed the article but Natalie Nakase’s name was misspelled a few times which was distracting. Wanted to give you the heads up.

On Wednesday, Princess Diana’s son, Prince Harry, made the same journey through a partially cleared minefield, at a time when countries are beginning to break away from the international anti-land mine treaty drawn up in the months after Diana’s visit.

Article says Lacob paid franchise fee in 2013. Should be 2023.

It’s gonna sellout in 15 minutes. I’m not sure there’s enough training for that.

Good point. Still think that’s more likely to benefit the Mystics than the Valks. But Eurobasket and more tape on their zone D could bring GSV back down to earth. Will they use winning percentage for draft odds this year since GSV only has 1 season in the books?

Should’ve said makes SF an even more attractive destination. Being competitive this year should have them vying with the Sparks & Mystics for the last playoff spot. More than that would truly be overachieving but less than that would require outright tanking with how bad the bottom of the league is.
royal-suitor.bsky.social
Surprised that @kpelton.bsky.social thinks the Valks are worried about a playoff run ruining their draft lottery odds when the best lottery this offseason will be free agency. With so many stars expected to be on the move, a playoff run in year 1 could make SF an attractive destination.

Agreed. Good get for both of them. Looks like M was doing more than dancing at that Cowboy Carter concert.
