WNBA Bet of the Night (3-1 in June)
Portland (-2.5) vs Phoenix
Fire has played better this season than the Mercury. Phoenix has their top 2 scorers, Copper (doubtful) & Thomas (questionable) on the injury report for tonight. Mercury 2-4 on the road, laying points with the Fire.
Imagine being so talented you could make marble appear soft to the touch. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was only 23 years old when he created this breathtaking masterpiece in the 1600s.
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was just 23 years old when he finished The Abduction of Proserpina in 1622. Widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of the Baroque era, the sculpture is celebrated for making solid Carrara marble appear remarkably soft and lifelike. Its most famous detail depicts Pluto’s fingers sinking into Proserpina’s thigh, creating the astonishing illusion of flesh yielding under pressure.
Through dramatic movement, deep shadows, and exquisitely polished surfaces, Bernini transformed rigid stone into what seems like flowing fabric, delicate skin, and even tears. Today, this extraordinary display of artistry and emotion can be seen at the Galleria Borghese in Rome.
@CoachSwit Not sure the kids have ever really been the problem in travel sports, youth sports, school sports. I coached HS football for 40 years and baseball for 8.
Larkin wanting to leave might be a sign of a culture problem in the Wings building. But I won’t necessarily miss him as a Red Wing legend or anything like that.
