Post a free job today at LinkedIn dot com flashQality Z in P Joined as always by my sister, Trista Creek, Fresh from Can om. She got that can tan on her too. I see it sis. How was it tellell me every damn thing you can It was it was everything, Juju, we don't have a lot of time, but it was phenomenal yachts and beaches and Sandroqu and you know, glistening skin and good food good times, good people, lots to be said, lots to be done. So yeah, it was it was a time. All your favorite people's favorite people were there Man, it was so good seeing my sister in that light because when you overseas and you see them pebbles in cobblestone streets, it just has a certain glow about it and to see my dog on the cobblestones like this, like what's happening? Yes, sir, strape from Portland. man, but let's get right into it because while you was gone A lot of smoke been happening in this W, man. Beginning know, you can guess if you had to guess one city where smoke is being being smokedified at Indianapolis would probably be the top three guesses And yes, it has been smokey and indy. man, AT had a pretty flagrant file on CC. you did. and it went really Unnoticeed, in my opinion from the referees. They should have jumped in sooner made the call, made a flagrant call. B the bom, by boom, but they retroactively did it and caused theit storm What did you think of this messes You know, I think it willll get to a place where the WMBA is on par with other men's leagues, you know with the men's Leagues when a foul is just a foul. When a flgrant is just a flaggrant when it's not bringing death threats. And you know, we don't have think pieces written about it Like AT's always been the type of player that plays really hard and plays really physical And to be honest, I don't even know necessarily if you look in on it and zoom in on it on four K. It didn't really look like she choked her. It didn't look like she punched her. It looked like she was just fell on her neck. And yeah, that's probably a flareoring foul that they cause it to on thatck Yeah you think she pushed you? Yeah, she took and landed and fell on her neck. I get it Its AT, I salute the AT. You know, I mess with you, but come on Bir sometimes we have our moments. She saw Caitin down there, gave her a. Sorry. I ain't nothing happen let this see here In my opinion Yeah, I mean, ultimately that's just a sports, right? And I think with When it comes to women and how the outside views how women should be treated, know they don't treat them like athletes. They treat them like fragile beings. And so anytime there's physicality, it turns into we need to protect this person or this person's like of Bill in or whatever and then the fan base comes in and does wild. So like to me, it just shows you that the WNBA has a long way to go. The fans of Caitlin Clark man that are the good fans. I salute you man. I have no problem with you without. You love basketball. You've been you've been rooting for Indiana your whole life But these new fans, these new age people who are using Caitlin to get there Hate out for your fe me online shhame on y'all b, becausecause y'all are the ones who be doing all that this. go death threats to AT. come on now. Y'all al reready and I thought we were supposed to be supporting it. Crazy. The same way back back to what we were talking about is an Angel beef. Like bro, I thought it was us over here. notot whenever we offend one of our favorite players. This what what she had to say, Sis, Can you read that Yeah, people are sending racial slurs. The league has to do better We still have yet to hear anything from Kathy Ingelberg. No surprise. That's unfortunate when our lives are being threatened. And then though what's crazy is now like Kathy's like, I did reach out to her. I got the receipts. Yeah And it's just sticky icky icky over here When it comes down to how the league is treating AT and how AT is talking about Kathy. Really the whole thing with Kathy is kind of like Exactly Bress. They bot the ass straight up and down to damn New York again to. But did you see what Stephanie White had to say because She was right to be upset initially seeing this go on callard And s's been These I get so frustrated to think about what the fans is responding to her, but she ain't got number of positive things to say about every player and trying to keep the peace between them and the revs, but the fans attack her as well saying it all of course this and of course that docsing her and her relationship now. like bro, what is going on W? like I liked it when the W was kind of a little bit more exclusive down there because now that we on the big screen, we're dealing with all this chaos that I don't even think is acceptable b Well, now folks are making five hundred K to start instead of forty K Yeah. So I mean, this is a part of what comes with that growth But like, Again We got to be better. like we cannot be sensationalizing everything that happens in every moment when it comes down to Caitlin. Otherwise you get clowns like Emanuel Ao talking about Caitln Clark is better The WBA is better without Caitlin Clark in the league which is just bananas. Exactly, man.

And that's not the goal of any league, but this is the reality. There's been a lack of consistency and this creates a problem in magnifier matchups. And this is a magnifier matchup when you look back at it. Alysa Thomas, Caitlin Clark, both dominant players, but Alyssa plays on the edge. I know her And Caitlin sometimes embellishes at times in certain instances. And so when you have a scrum, like you said, there needs to be a hyper vigilance, but also this created a position where the leeague is now forced to be reactive. And instead of having a control of not just going bowels, now the League is reacting and doing something that it rarely does on a non call and instituting a suspension. And to me, that was unique in that situation. if you're watching it in real time, both players who are known to make their issues known got up and kept going. That That was so that's why I have a problem because if you're looking at the the The reaction even to this day, it breaks my heart because players, even in Alyssa Thomas is Caliber, whether you think she did it intentionally or not, she's dealing with a heightened level of vitriol right now based off of what this situation created and that doesn't sit well with me. If the league could really handle this better in real time and figuring out how we want more points, we want more fous, but how do we keep an eye on these specific matchups so we can avoid the narratives getting out of our control. I hope that happens moving forward in the future I look, I agree with Sis tho. It can be cleaned up on the front end man. Th referees have been goofy and goofier. What's the goofy movie with his son in it? That's the referee like Bro inconsistency up and down I'm now training to be a referee my damnself so I can clean some of this stuff up, man.

Breaking nose. The New York Liberty has won the Commissioner Cup. Is this a sign of what's to come Sabrina was looking Sabrinish. What you think about them boys over there end No yeah. Listen, when I hear People want to sully the names of big time stars in this WMBA. I think back to how all last year Juju, we were saying, o man, the aces look cook Oh man, Chelsea G don look good. Oh man, what's wrong with Jel Lloyd Oh man, it's just Asia out there. And then they rattled off nineteen games in a row. they won the damn title. So if people want to besmerge Brianna Stewart, y'all can take that. Y'all can hold that. I don't care what her three point percentage is right now. What I know is she's a DA WG when it comes to winning time. Same thing with Sabrina UNSCu. Sabrina UnNescu hasn't had good playoffs in the past When they won the title, she didn't have a good playoffs against the Minnesota Links. I don't care. She still hit that big shot Juju against the Linkns and she still hit that shot in the commissionerss cup. So listen, you don't want to see the L liberty at full strength because they will look Absolutely nasty a. O, no p intended T clapping. wh whatever I got to do clock that Drop the mic, damn it. But speaking of being back Over to west side. A lady by the name of M V V has been spotted Practice facility. What do you think about that They're a problem. The Minnesota Links right now areready without Dorca, without fe are a problem. Now their game time decisions every damn game. People should be scared. I don't know what the acclimation period is going to look like to have feedback, to have Dorca back and what that's going to do to the rotations, but this team looks so good. They look so dangerous that I feel like adding those two backag just makes them even more of a problem. What you think Exactly, Bro because Tasha Howard it's like You get her some help now she's been eating gobbles Soobie snacks left and right by her damn self. You put fee on that side. you put bit dork on that side to help get some of them tilt backs. Man, I don't see how this is going to be any thing other than doom for the way the rest of the season because our best friend pointo guard of the Millennium. Olivia Miles. Oh my God You giving her two more targets, notot only two targets, two Connecticut targets went through the geno system. Come on man. nowhere to go. nowhere to be when the he he'es is supposed to be Come on Bro. I don't see nothing but rocket shuts. I'm picking them for the finals this year damn there. Same Juli, this is a finals team. It's just up to either the Las Vegas Aces or the New York Liberty to get it together. Get it together. I'm talking about O the way if you can More than likely though, I gott to give you some props because before we get up out of here, I'm gonna to keep it real with you.
