Maybe the commissioner can do to @valkyries’ leading scorer what she did to last year’s MVP using Alysshit Tomass?

The refs are allowing the Atlanta dream to play dirty. I knew they were going to allow these thugs to do whatever they wanted to do.

From Day One, @warriors guard Brandin Podziemski has been on the @valkyries train. Last season, he wrote: “The thing about Joe is, he legit loves this s***. Like he legit cares about women’s basketball, and cares about doing it right. And all you need for proof of that is who he hired to be in charge — starting with Ohemaa as our GM and Natalie as our head coach. They’re both geniuses and dope people, and not to seem cocky but the rest of the league might be in trouble. Because I’ve gotten to know them a bit…. and I’m telling you: Those women are trophy hunters. We’re winning championships....
You’ve got these players who have something to prove to the teams that let ’em go … and also who do the little things well, the stuff that’s underappreciated but actually helps you win basketball games. Then you add a COACH OF THE YEAR on that same wave, who’s stressing defense and toughness — and you put it all together as this land of opportunity??? Now it’s Kayla Thornton, All-Star. Veronica Burton, Most Improved. Janelle Salaün, All-Rookie. And I feel like those individual accomplishments just kind of speak to what we’re building here with this group … where it’s like: Come to the Bay if you’re trying to shut up your haters and win. (No tampering.)
The easiest way to tell that someone doesn’t know ball is they’re comparing the NBA and the W. They’re both basketball, and they’re both the best players in the world. But other than that it’s apples and oranges. Not better, not worse, just different. Different styles of play, different products. And I feel like the Valks understand that. The violet and black color scheme, it’s so lit. Vi the Raven, our mascot, she’s already a legend in the game. It’s more families, since school is out. It’s more young girl fans, which makes a lot of sense. And even just in the arena — it’s this whole other vibe. Like: You’re NOT at a Warriors game, you know what I mean?? You’re at a Valkyries game. And you’re not in the Chase Center. You’re in BALLHALLA.” playerstribu.ne/Podz

My count is 8 lopsided points awarded to Atlanta Dream by scaletipping zebras in the 1st half.
Result?
@valkyries by 3 & @NatalieNakase says her team played like ass.
GSV should be up 11 in a fair contest at halftime.
Only way Dream win Finals is with @WNBA heavy handed help
This jibes with all the special reffing the CC-less Sophie-less Fever got last playoffs. It was blatant and didn’t start until CC was taken out of lineup.
🤔
Clips of Amber Cox contradicting herself about Aliyah Boston's injury basically lying from the get go. Also sw answering questions from Fever reporter James Boyd and acting annoyed by his questions regarding Caitlin's injury at the time and then telling another reporter thank you when the reporter tells her this won't be a Caitlin question. Obviously she hates Caitlin so much she hates talking about her and the continued lies throughout the season by the FO even after having Scott Agness credentials revoked bcuz he didn't go along with their script to fans

If you’re building something that belongs in the future, I want to see it.

Sports fans, in particular, have gotten screwed. With one remote we used to be able to watch everything, now I have eight services, pay way more, and flipping from one game to another is infuriating. We all pay more and get less. Bad combo.

Last note on Eagles kickoff: Per @TruMediaSports, there have been 3,635 kickoff returns since 2024.
4 out of 3,635 (0.11%) have gone 50+ yards in fewer than 8 seconds.
That's how unlikely that outcome was.
So it turns out AJ Clown destroyed the last season of Lane Johnson's career by turning a 4-0 start into a me-me-me shitshow which eventually got Patullo fired and mannion the worst Eagles OC in history to replace him to negative effect. Shame, could've been a deep run last year.
Had fun blocking every horrendous reactionary so-called “fan” who thought she was an expert from the couch calling for @SaltySirianni’s head.
Now someone who actually is a true student of the game reveals the truth and my feed has been upgraded by a million percent.
The #Eagles had a big decision to make on the final kickoff at the end of the game.
@denizselman33 breaks it down.

Saquon Barkley when asked about Kevin Patullo: "I think we all could have been better. We — as a collective — didn't make enough plays. People are going to have their opinions and say what they want to say. I'm really not in the right mindset right now to expand on what I think, fresh off a loss. I'm upset, frustrated — more with myself. I'm a big believer you got to start with yourself."
The Eagles won a Super Bowl;
so what was the @NFL’s reaction?
They immediately attempted to ban their most successful play.

Even without a timeout, 8 seconds is enough time to complete a pass and get out of bounds
🏈 Completing a pass & getting out of bounds to set up for a field goal = more likely
🏈 Returning a kickoff to the 40 yard line = less likely to happen
