@robertmays.bsky.social I’ll be in Copenhagen in a couple of weeks and I know you went earlier this year. Any places I should make sure to eat at?

NBA coverage is pretty similar on the soap opera front, just without the political football crap. Transactions drive interest more than the games it seems. Still, after losing two goddamn national title games I need to be front and center when Caitlin finally gets her championship.

000

It’s a real battle between enjoying the basketball most of the time and being so fucking over the discourse around the league all the time. This is how I ended up bailing on MLB in 2020. We will both be super pissed if the Fever are successful and aren’t there to witness it though.

Gotta beat the champs to be the champs. The Aces have the best player and the calming presence of Chelsea Gray. They’re a great team and are probably on their way to their fourth title in five years. Can’t do anything but tip your cap and come back stronger next year, Fever.

Brutal closing stretch for Kelsey Mitchell. Still want her in this backcourt next season.

000

Come the fuck on, man. SHE FELL DOWN.

000

Don’t like this challenge. Feels like an emotional reaction. They reviewed it for a flagrant on Kelz which is laughable but they’re not overturning it after confirming a personal foul. It’s a bad call on a loose ball buts it’s not getting changed.

000

Close game, clutch game, elimination game. How could you not favor the Aces here? They’ve been there and done that so many times before. Fever have lost a bunch of games that looked like this in the regular season. Prove me wrong Fever girls.

000

So, so tired of the whistle A’ja gets. Earned it yada yada yada sure. But it’s difficult to watch a 6’4” tank of a woman take a bump and spill to the floor like she got hit by a pickup truck.

000

…either the Fever find their stroke soon or this is going to be over quickly.

000

Fever need a concentrated effort on attacking Wilson to open the second half. Get that 4th foul.

000

These two teams do not like each other. This is a legit rivalry. Meeting two years in a row in the playoffs has only heightened the tensions.

000

The officiating in the WNBA must be addressed before the start of next season.

050

C’mon, man. A technical foul already?

I hope the Fever win but I am fully expecting the Aces to roll in a big way.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

Great concept, interesting read. Related: I’VE NEVER BEEN MORE PROUD. I will never not be grateful for having a coach that knows where he wants to go and how to get there. It’s fun to see the shoe on the other foot for the first time in my lifetime as a Bears fan.

Ball don’t lie, Valks

000

Just a reprehensible review here. That could not have been a more clear foul. Williams 1000% fouled her. Both players have a right to the ball. How can you overturn what was called on the floor?

000

I can’t root for the Valkyries after what they did to Kate Martin so I hope the Wings rip their hearts out here.

000

Ok, Yankees. You’ve got me for as long as you’re in the tournament.

000

No earhole required. The belt to ass is sufficient punishment. Soak in the Bronx Zoo, Willson.

000

Willson Contreras is a hall of fame level instigator. He deserves one in the earhole next time up for that slow ass trot. Always be starting something. Yes, I am doing my annual parachute on for Yankees playoff baseball

Atlanta or New York being in the Finals will make me not want to watch the Finals. Boo-urns.

It has been a decade since the NFL acknowledged a link between football and CTE. Players now have access to critical risk info that predecessors didn't. ESPN asked them about playing football in the CTE era. Lots of thoughtful answers. W/ @stephenholder-nfl.bsky.social: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

How NFL players cope with CTE risks, fears and internal debates

We asked over 30 NFL players about CTE concerns, and their answers ranged from fear to resignation.

This is one of the worst power plays I’ve ever seen a team have. They should have given up two shorthanded goals already. Not helping their cause in selling me a CHSN subscription this winter.

000

Come to Indiana, Phee.

000

The Lynx getting swept should be a catalyst towards change of this deplorable first round playoff format.

010

Indiana survives. Still expect Vegas to close it out at home, but didn’t want the Fever to get swept. Need this young group to accumulate as much playoff experience as possible.

000

Bring us home, Kelsey.

000

You do not want to piss off A’ja Wilson in the 4th quarter of a playoff game either. Deeply unhelpful from a competitive standpoint and completely inappropriate for fan behavior to escalate to requiring a review.

000

Kick the fan out. Ban them from the arena. It’s upsetting how often this happens in this specific arena.

130

She’s earned it through superstar play but nevertheless the whistle that A’ja gets is soft. Wilson is a tank and Aliyah Boston is allowed to stand her ground in the lane with her hands up.

000

18-12-6 through not even 3 quarters? That’s a winning formula. She’s been extraordinary since the technical foul.

000

162 games are completely meaningless when you can win your division and go home as little as 2 games. It’s total nonsense and on the list of contributors that drove me away from baseball completely.
