Those camo outfits are really the one doing the heavy lifting.

And yet, also not camouflaging anything.

‘Dump Here’ fan who caught Cal Raleigh’s HR ball ‘in shock’ over lucky grab

A lucky Mariners fan wearing a fitting "DUMP HERE 61" shirt in a sea of orange caught Cal Raleigh's home-run ball Tuesday. Then he got to meet the Big Dumper himself.

Yes, sorry. I meant to include the link.

I believe so. When she was on stage with Kamala Harris.

"For her(Engelbert) to say she has the utmost respect for me and the players, and then to turn around and call me a liar 3 minutes later…denying words I heard come straight out of her mouth. It just speaks to that lack of accountability and so I really have nothing further to say.”-Napheesa Collier

The only problem with rewatching Veep in 2025 is that it comes off as more of a terrifying prophecy than a biting comedy.

Looks 69. He definitely didn’t understand the assignment when he made his deal with the devil.

Nancy Drew: Girl Detective @sonjajacobsen.bsky.social · 19h

Most likely.

Nancy Drew: Girl Detective @sonjajacobsen.bsky.social · 19h

Yes! It’s from Veep.

Yikes

Nancy Drew: Girl Detective @sonjajacobsen.bsky.social · 1d

Oh wow. That would be amazing!

The only problem I see is that I’m pretty sure WNBA commissioner is a completely thankless job. Too many constituencies to answer to.

Well, he is Cathy's boss so, I guess if they are her players they are also his players.

The Buffy villain doppelganger speaks!

It sounds like he's saying Cathy is dunzo, yes? Please?

"Engelbert has presided over historic growth in the league but there's no question there's issues that we need to address with our players, not just economic... I'm confident we can fix those over time."

I love how many brilliant, talented, thoughtful, assertive, charismatic players there are in the WNBA. Napheesa is definitely one of them.

Nice to see ESPN quote our New York Times story today.

But the big story here is this sentence:

"According to a report from Deloitte earlier this year, revenues are projected to top $1 billion this year."

If true, WNBA players are getting 2% of revenue!!!

“For decades, Silver has complained publicly about the W’s lack of popularity & profitability, all while doing very little to invest in its success. Usually, people who own businesses talk them up publicly…instead the NBA has… treated the league as a burden, essentially tanking its own asset.“

Lindsay Gibbs @lindsaygibbs.bsky.social · 4d

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

WNBA's Engelbert under fire — but the NBA's power looms larger

Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.
