Apologizing in advance for posting actual basketball content, Fever have a new big!
Thinking it would be hard for her to not be an improvement over Dantas.

I guess on this site you can never criticize CC and you have to not like Sophie. Or something . I guess rules or something.
sort of like on the football board you must hate Brian ferentz. Well, that one maybe I could let slide a little.

Thanks SBAH. Wishing Mercedes well.
Marina Mabrey flipping out after a no call tonight. Oh the horror.
The newer players put the spotlight on the WNBA and it has exposed a lot of stuff, to put it politely. It does look like a subsidized entitled outfit. A real for profit venture would have to be much different.
With fresh eyes comes more scrutiny, and rightly so, for donating their time and hard earned money to view the action.
Who wants to start the pool, that the league does nothing about this?
Too late. Sky lost today. DC had 26/6.
Maybe some reporter will actually do their job and ask the commish WHY they didn't follow league rules and suspend her. Well, probably not....
It sure would be nice if they did. The League unfortunately has their mind on other things right now besides Carrington's behavior, such as determining what is a woman in the grand scheme of eligibility for WNBA participation.
I just asked ALEXA if the WNBA has ever been profitable. I absolutely loved the response it gave me.
Well maybe the comm. of the NBA will have to call what's her name and demand she wakes up!!!
For context, you hear about coaches losing the locker room from time to time. But, what you don't often hear is a Commissioner of a professional sports league losing their league. Don't look for anything good of any significance to happen this year, because she won't be back next year. She has to wrestle with this for a long time to come. Missed opportunity.
For her using her phone? There is no automatic suspension for doing so. Like the NBA, the WNBA "prohibits" players/staff from being on their phone during certain times leading up to and after games, but I can't remember either league ever suspending someone for doing so, and a LOT of them do it.
Now I DO think they missed greatly in not suspending DC for the foul on Sophie...not for that one play, as that is going to happen at times, but for her history of such plays. If CC can get suspended a game for an 8th tech where no one has been physically threatened (one soft ref not-withstanding), there should also be a suspension schedule (both single season and career) for flagrant 2s where players' safety has truly been compromised.
She played college sports...a LONG time ago, but I don't recall reading that she had been involved in athletics in any meaningful way since then so is completely out of touch with today's athletes, issues, etc.
Wait. Weren't you the same guy that disagreed when I said Thomas should have been suspended for multiple games with her knee to the groin and fist to the throat, given her LONG and obvious history of hard and totally unnecessary rough fouls? Maybe such an action would have sent a message to some of these other thugs like DJ that this crap won't be tolerated. After all "player safety" is a big issue in the W. Lolol...
I’m good either way.Lol there you go. Back to your passive aggressive mode. It's safer for you.
So maybe you should start using it correctly.
Fever signed 6'6" post Mercedes Russell to take Dontas's spot on the roster. Played a key role in the Storms championships, on their roster for 6 years. May take some time to get up to speed with the pace that Indiana plays with, but hopefully some good back up post minutes.
So anywho, the Fever signed 6' 6" Mercedes Russell as a replacement for Dantas. I have long wanted them to sign another super tall player if not just for rebounding and defensive presence. Although her minutes will probably be very minimal, at least they have a big body they can throw in there when they need one.

I was. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps I gave you too much credit and you were far more triggered and in your feels than I thought.
Shovel or ladder?

wnba is trash as it exists today IMO again
This is when I start watching wayyyyy more football than CC and bball
It's not accurate or inaccurate. It's an opinion which you're free to agree or disagree with.
Nothing seems to bother Sophie, period. She obviously could give a rusty "f" if people either boo or applaud her. This trait really seems to endear her to the masses.
Like most other people, I never watched the WNBA before CC. I knew the W was the MSNBC of sports leagues, so I would have to ignore a ton of toxic, activist garbage if I wanted to continue to enjoy watching CC play ball. I've mostly been able to do that so far, but the W sure makes it difficult.
Please—can we get a Fever win tonight and avoid any drama during and/or after the game? Please, pretty please. Just once.
We all are still waiting for Legend's list of things that Caitlin gets away with that no one else in the league would get away with.
Do you guys think he even has 2 things on his list yet?

Fine, I'll be more direct..........fify for accuracy.
It's okay to deal with it, too.........
