Baseball doesn't line up with women's college basketball - so hopefully Jason can still call some WBB games in the off season!

As someone who lived in Detroit for four years and regularly went to Pistons games, this seems very on brand!

I need to stop thinking about the US men's hockey team. I can understand the peer pressure in the moment but....like don't double down. Apologize and like don't make your mom have to explain your poor choices.

The gold medal game between Canada-U.S. at the 2010 Vancouver Games averaged 27.6 million viewers on NBC. It aired midafternoon live.

I don't believe this game will get to that level viewership but it will be fascinating to see what the number will be because it will be massive for a morning event.

this is one of the best hockey games I've ever seen but I keep wondering: are any of these men's hockey players married or related to women that I've heard of? what is the US women's hockey team up to right now

Hockey fans, you really cannot appreciate Hilary Knight's USA Olympic records enough.

For context, combined scoring in their first two games: 2026 Tournament MVP KK Harvey (debut at 19 y/o) and Knight (20 y/o).

Harvey: 9 points (0 in 2022, 9 in 2026)
Knight: 14 points (8 in 2010, 6 in 2014)

So great but also, ESPN has had 15 years to get this going. Keep in mind it owned the rights to WNBA, NCAA women’s sports and all four Grand Slams at the height of Serena’s dominance. People pitched these shows. The network didn’t just find out about women’s sports.

Today at the Olympics, the best athlete won gold in the women’s slalom.

It’s how it was β€œsupposed” to happen. But, of course, that doesn’t mean anything.

I'm so tired of the players bending over backwards to seem reasonable to some imaginary audience, when everyone with eyes can see that the league is screwing them over.

Sources: WNBPA counterproposal includes some concessions on revenue share, housing The Women's National Basketball Players' Association submitted a counterproposal to the WNBA on Tuesday that included some concessions on revenue share and housing, sources told ESPN.

The WNBPA's new proposal seeks an average of 27.5% gross revenue over the course of the new CBA, including 25% (& <$9.5 million cap) in Year 1.

On housing, it proposed a phase-out system where teams wouldn't have to provide housing for its highest-paid players
