We interviewed both sides of the trans women in sports protests outside the Fever-Liberty game

It’s been three games and the new coach is talking like this😭

[christan (no i), ß @ChristanWNBA]

Asked Wings HC Jose Fernandez about the team’s backside defense and if Awak Kuier could assist

“Talking about minutes here, minutes there. I don’t know…Whatever minutes she gets, with her size, she can protect the basket, correct? So, I don’t know. Whatever minutes she gets..⬇️

Risk is sought in the loss domain. When the path to “making it” long term is unclear, asymmetric bets become more appealing. Taking a big swing now appears > the prolonged approach of investing + salary (which may soon disappear).

Most are digging their own grave. But a few win

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

One economic side of this is rarely discussed.

Young people have a bleak view of our economic future (AI job loss + insurmountable wealth inequality + social media comparison). Gambling/crypto/get rich quick schemes become a CALCULATED risk when it feels like time is running out

More than half of men ages 18-49 (52%) now say they have an active sports betting account with an online sportsbook like DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, or BetMGM.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

Atlanta led the league in rebounding and added Angel Reese. Now they’ve kept their two most important frontcourt players.

Should be a wildly explosive offense simply because of how many shots they get up- last year’s #2 offense projects to get even better. Will be fun to watch

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

Naz Hillmon to sign a 3-year contract with the Dream, per @kendra__andrews.

Glad the new Panthers front office is showing a hint of competence by adding someone who really understands roster construction. I enjoy a lot of Eager’s work.

[Joe Person @josephperson]

Panthers plan to hire SumerSports VP Eric Eager in an analytics role, per league source.
Eager worked for Pro Football Focus prior to SumerSports, a startup in 2022 (that also employs Thomas Dimitroff) aimed at helping NFL teams in player acquisition and roster management.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

That’s huge. One of the most athletic players at the mid-major level.

Mountaineers getting destroyed by the portal as we speak.

[Verbal Commits @VerbalCommits]

Appalachian State F Tre'Von Spillers is entering the transfer portal. https://t.co/rRganLbr6o

Take notes, Ohio State Athletic Department

Having a raucous, influential home environment might be the single most important factor to winning in college hoops

IT'S STORMING IN STATE COLLEGE ‼️

@PennStateMBB takes down No. 12 Illinois. 🙌

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

… Who wants this?

As a fan of a bad Ohio State basketball team, there is simply no reason that this team should be playing NCAA tournament basketball (unless we win the B10 tournament)

[Sam @samhuppert]

These are both terrible ideas

This stuff is so frickin awesome

Oregon State shocks No. 9 Arizona

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

@LukeWisniewski7 Given some of the questionable characters Bjork has been involved with recently, this feels like a disaster waiting to happen. But he would win games.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

In six Big Ten games, Ohio State has lost the final eight minutes by an average of 7 points per game.

Poor offensive execution in crunch time has been a theme the last few years, and it doesn’t look to have improved this season.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

I still think Chris Holtmann is a decent coach, and a good recruiter. But between another spiraling conference season, general fan apathy, and a new AD, it’s hard to envision this going on much longer.

If I’m Ross Bjork, my first call is to Josh Shertz.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

A few non-conference results appear to be fool’s gold, as UCLA is awful and the home loss to Texas A&M is much worse now than it was 2 months ago.

Kenpom currently has Ohio State at 47th, behind in-state Dayton (28), Xavier (32), and Cincinnati (33).

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

McDonough/Blackledge was the best. It’s a shame Todd moved to NBC.

[Craig Meyer @ByCraigMeyer]

For me, Sean McDonough is the best play-by-play broadcaster in college football. Informative, engaging and has a wonderfully dry sense of humor

[Luke Wisniewski @LukeWisniewski7]

Incredibly sicko that the most important team in determining the final playoff rankings was the Lions of North Alabama

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

@matt_mlawski Yes it did.

Washington - Texas will be awesome. Probably the two best WR units around.

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Florida State
4. Texas

[Thomas Wisniewski @TWisniewski02]

Remember the last time that we all assumed who the “better” or “best” team is?

That was Friday, and Washington completely destroyed those assumptions.

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL
