Struggling badly at 1-9 in PACWEST play, then the remaining seven players on the team also quit after her postgame comments calling out "these little girls who can't even out-rebound Malaspina"

See, Rob Manfred?? The fish acknowledges the opponent's preparation and accepts they have to change their approach.
Some awful Baby Shark book with a fish character complimenting the shark on being so good at hide and seek and the shark answering, "well, you DO always hide in that hole"

"The 89ers' supporters deserve a return to the top of the table and I believe I have the team in place to face up to those challenges. We will be back to ULEB play as well. Whatever game-fixing, so-called, happened with a different roster is irrelevant to this great group we have."

Wow. Much worse than this, which is not-ha-ha-funny not cleared in winter (they drive around and clear the grass, which inevitably becomes mud).

"I don't know why they'd put us on TV and then say we're only 24th in the country. You can tell the people who made whatever RPI is that I'm not impressed with them either. We'll keep playing for our fans and let the numbers and the critics take care of themselves."

@itschristmastown.bsky.social don't know if it's Hallmark that's shooting here but certainly a Hallmark-ass set decoration on this Hamilton, Ontario Irish pub. Just in case you needed to know prices were going up. Moderately.

"Mr. Riesdale is not a friend, I see him professionally and socially sometimes, and he doesn't tell me what wagers he makes--or if he wagers at all. My wife may have had dinner with his wife once or twice, yes, but I don't recall if I was there."
