I like statistics, economics, politics and theology. So mostly I talk sports.

@JSandlak19 Yep.
Business is #1, always.
Over your family, over your health, business is our god.

@ApexJonesHACKED The real explosion of popularity was the moment caught on tv and weaponized for political gain. That’s when so many WNBA haters became invested in the CC drama.
She’s something they can fight over, that’s all she is to them.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@NealCoolong That trade is still making my day. It couldn’t have gone worse for them, and I love it.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@NealCoolong Too many people see “potential” and “ceiling” as what a player can be and not what a player might be.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@KinnickNorth23 If Chicago made it an OT away from the finals when Reese was hurt and couldn’t make it out of the first round with Angel, what would people say?

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@KinnickNorth23 Now imagine your team faced the Fever, and the cocky, whining to the refs, ramping up boos from the crowd is CC.
Knowing if her shot is falling your team can’t win, and if it isn’t the internet after is going to be flooded with hate for the players that won.
Loved CC on team USA

@letstalkksports So many posts like this on both sides, 90% of the fans are fighting over a few loud assholes.

Unless I’m missing some games, the Steelers and Browns have played eight times on Thursday night.

The home team is 8-0.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@NealCoolong Besides, JuJu’s knee injury was before that, Browns in 2019.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@NealCoolong I respect it.
He did what he had to do.
That’s an all-time great mentality, and the Browns still broke him.
Incredible.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@NealCoolong Yeah, he’s one of the first call ups every year, and hey, still a great quarters/cover 3 guy

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@SportsPatriotUS Coach Lawson did a great job of utilizing the two PGs she had.
Gray slows the game down and exploits over reaches on defense, Clark ramps the pace and attacks strong angles.

The second France’s fight wavered she put in CC, sent the bulldog after them and she buried France.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@Sam_Comments Her on ball defense is fine except when she was playing injured.

She still has moments where she gets caught looking at the ball to read a pass and loses her assignment, but not like she used to.

Stephanie White is the defensive coach on this team, too.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@letstalkksports She’s playing more minutes than anyone on the team.

They are going to start the vets, get a feel for the other team then unleash the youth.

People trying too hard to find a reason to be unhappy.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@cc22report Italy did a good job of breaking up the offense.
It’s easy to do because they are building it on the fly.

I expect France to beat us. France spent serious time building their team chemistry and that team is largely intact. We won in 2024 but that team also had years together.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@cc22report There’s a reason basketball went to clocks that show tenths of a second, because 0.8 seconds shows as 0 on clocks.
When the clock goes from 1.0 to 0.9 the clock without tenths goes from 1 to 0.
aAenas with old clocks you can hear it, the fans count down to zero before the buzzer.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@yinzer_g Dan Rooney. Steelers have 0 playoff wins when he wasn’t an executive or the owner.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@FarabaughFB Yancey taught Hines.
Hines taught AB.
AB taught JuJu.
Then JuJu got his knee destroyed catching 2 yard routes in the dumbest offense ever and we got young receivers with no one showing them the stuff that made our receivers great.

[Geoffrey Benedict @phantaskippy]

@AlanJayy23 Pitting CC against her own team mate.
I feel sorry for CC. People drag her name into any fight they can find.
