    I didn't watch, you mean cheerleading for the league while calling the game?

    Not so much that as even a dipshit like me would understand promoting the sport in its biggest moment. Lobo and Ruocco, whom I usually enjoy, had RSN-levels of enthusiasm for the Liberty. They didn't go full Scalabrine, but it was not a great look.

    Starting in 2026 the league's media deal jumps from 60 million to a minimum of 200 million, so that 140 million gap would cover the current losses and have 100 million left over.

    Maybe Angel Reese will be able to cover her rent then.

    Not shocking. There's a new GM and a general perception that the team was underperforming its talent - especially before the Olympic break. Indiana's been talking to Stephanie White, who is roughly the female equivalent of Larry Bird in Indiana hoops (was the all-time high school scoring leader when she graduated and she led tiny Seeger HS on a deep run in the high school tournament when it was still single-class, won an NCAA title at Purdue).

    Yeah - Lin Dunn (age 77), who presided over the last few years of the Fever, got moved from GM to "advisor" a couple weeks ago. Drafting Clark and Boston first overall are no brainer moves. They had four first round picks in 2022, and it looks like one is a starter, two are fringe rotation players and one is cut already.

    I know Texas football is as dog-eat-dog as Indiana basketball, but c'mon.

    For all of these ownership stories, we really need a percentage number in there. A quick Google says Mahomes has like a 1% piece of the Royals, so it's essentially a marketing deal.

    Stephanie White taking over as coach of the Fever is finally a done deal. I'm excited to have her back and look forward to seeing what she can do with Clark and Boston.

    Schefter should know that "c0-" typically indicates one half of an entity with two parts - cooperate, coed, co-sponsor etc. That is some weak sauce right there.
