I think the context makes this clip even funnier —the woman is Carolyn Swords, who was in the WNBA from 2011-2020 —the show premise is "pick a topic where you're an expert," she chose "basketball players" —Rob Lowe REPEATEDLY points out to the guy that she was in the WNBA —HE CHALLENGES HER ANYWAY
a woman on a game show with a graphic saying CAROLYN: CATEGORY, BASKETBALL PLAYERS

the captions say "she's a former WNBA player"Carolyn waving to the crowd. the caption says "I played in the WNBA."the two contestants standing next to Rob Lowe. she towers over Rob Lowe, because she is 6-foot-6, and in case this isn't clear yet, played in the WNBA.

Rob is looking at the male contestant sand saying "WNBA player doing basketball ..... man, I don't know ...."Carolyn saying "this will be a slam dunk for me"

Staggering levels of ineptitude for Oregon’s offense today. Wild shit. 2023 Iowa was more competent.

There's no shortage of reasons why the 2026 Mariners disappointed, but also: - slowest team in baseball, 2026 - one of the five weakest defensive teams since 2016 That's a tough way to win. baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/...
