Tips for reporters on how to interview Abdul: 1) You ask the Qs. He doesn’t. 2) When he asks you a Q, ignore him. Ask your Q again. 3) When he says, “That’s not the Q, the Q is” ignore him. Ask your Q again. 4) When he doesn’t answer, ask him why he refuses to answer. Do your damn job!

Outgoing WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert has a big decision to make quickly. Will she discipline the best player in the league - perhaps suspending her for a winner take all playoff game? Fine her? Nothing?Leaving the court to confront a fan is a BIG deal. Precedent to be set.

Not sure if it’s a case of Ludwick-itis or what, but w/Detroit, Casey Mize allowed five HR and 19 BB in 16 starts over 86.2 IP (2.70 ERA). With Padres so far he’s allowed 10 HR and 15 BB in nine starts covering 39.2 IP (6.35 ERA). Don’t see how can be trusted to start WC game.

I watched all of the Snyderverse movies in theaters. I had complaints but mostly enjoyed them for what they were. I’m going to watch every Gunn-era DC film in theaters. I will have my complaints but mostly enjoy them for what they are. There are too many cults and pyramid schemes

TCU’s sports information office and football team are good examples of bad public relations. By banning the Fort Worth Star-Telegram beat writer they amplified the assault and story that upset the football coach and program. They made the story bigger & bought national ridicule.

Listen to me carefully. You cannot VOLUNTEER somebody to be your front person in a culture war. Either they do the volunteering for the cultural fight on their own, or they do not. Sophie Cunningham volunteered to be the main driver on this issue in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark did not. Some people on here need to slow their roll. Clark gave the right answer tonight. The WNBA **IS** going to have to address this and hash this issue out. It's not HER job to discuss it. Sophie will lead the way, everything is unfolding exactly as it should. Sophie has no problem putting herself out there, she has a big enough personality and confidence in who she is. She can take the heat. Whatever you think Caitlin Clark should be saying these days, keep in mind you can't volunteer her for anything. Good talk. Let's do it again soon.
