Angel Reese, LSU basketball player

I’m willing to bet you a sizable sum that it won’t happen. There will be a Caitlin bump and then it will return to current levels - or only slightly above - within a couple years.
I think the tournament will continue to grow; the regular season would be surprised if people care that much. but saying that the tournament is about all that most care about on the men's side. Justin Fields going to the Steelers to be a backup has gotten way more exposure on the National sports talk shows than the whole ncaa tournament combined.
 
Is there a politically correct way to say ****?
I’ve never found it, but wonder if the another spelling that means the exact same thing, but doesn’t upset the democrats.
I mean the flip out at reviews of a MOIST chocolate cake, or a rich tasting cup of coefefe.
How to I correctly call some a ****?

It was one of our last games of the year at home, maybe MSU. My friend and I commented on how many layups we missed. Next day I saw we had missed 18!!
Used to drive me crazy. I really like the big dude for NC State. His passing is superb - very sharp and accurate. And he has a killer shot around the basket. That guy knows how to make a layup.

Only problem is, on fast break, he's usually not over mid-court by the time the rest of the team is there.
 
She’s threaded the needle a couple of times and is almost always on target with full court passes. I will definitely go to a couple Fever games. I think she’s going to make a big splash in Indy, Reggie Miller and Payton like maybe. She’ll keep her Iowa base and add Indy. This is going to be a great fit for her. Kind of like Warriors and TJD. Changing the subject here, but how great is it to see him do so well? He could be wasted on the bench many other places. I was so sad for him draft night but it’s all worth it now,
My daughter and her husband went to see Golden State play the Hornets in Charlotte last week. TJD got the start and scored 20 points. He plays like a seasoned pro.

Major Zack Randolph vibes from him. I call him Big Smooth.

He’s going to be interesting against Edey.

I was mad we went to his Pacer game and he only played last two minutes. Very soon after he went on a tear.
 
is typical of what's wrong with America. I don't know how to link articles, or I would. but those who don't know the backstory they beat Clark and Iowa in the national finals last year, and she was getting in Clark's face making hand gestures and talking trash to her. which is all good i guess in modern basketball for some reason? of course, the black community came to her defense, and Reese parlayed her new fame into big NIL deals. even appeared in the sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

they lost last night and now she complains of racism, being sexualized. even receiving death threats. I call bullshit no one outside of Baton Rouge would even know who the hell she was if it wasn't for her actions. she profited bigly off of those actions. now she wants to cry how she's so unhappy and misunderstood. not everything is racism if someone doesn't like you.

She has nearly 3M followers on TikTok, and she's likely making good money off that presence. She has 3M followers on a social media site, and you don't know how to post links on a forum you've been part of for quite awhile. That might reflect a lack of understanding on your part as to how something like this could possibly be. Your disconnect should be noted.


My problem with Reese is that she willingly plays the villain. Not just the villain. She has her stretch of cheap shots, a la Grayson Allen. She's not innocent bystander. She has taken pride in being the villain.

That said, threats and be sexualized reflects how much trash there is in society. That goes above and beyond taking criticism, even by platforms that reach millions. Sadly it's the new norm, but that doesn't make it right.
 
Just had a conversation with a lady at work who's daughter plays both softball and basketball (the little girl is 12 or 13) and it was a consensus that watching women's softball is much more appealing and that basketball is just below the rim action. I asked her if she watched last nights game with her daughter and she said she didn't even know they played.
LOL

I love these anecdotes that mean very little. Your extensive sample size should be strongly considered.


I haven't watched an MLB game yet. Does that mean the season hasn't started?

you basically just repeated what I said after scolding me for what I said.
 
Angel just did a shoot for Vogue magazine yesterday. Guys might want to grab a copy!

He needs to stay out of foul trouble. He's not going to stop Edey. Teams think they can try to stop Edey and always get in foul trouble. They need to worry about stopping PUs outside game.

I don’t think you’re in the running. No offense. I’m passing on Brad Pitt too.

Yup give him his points and harass the others . I know he gets hacked a lot but it amazes me he never gets called for anything

Single coverage. Do your best without fouling. GEt down the floor first and let that big ****er ram into you but hold firm. Keep him more than 6 feet from the basket. Guard the perimeter. Don't try to shoot passing lanes, just stay in front of their shooters.

I don't think Edey is a great all around passer, i.e. interior passing, bounce passes anywhere, etc.

Like when we played Shaq - he got his points, but we kept anyone else from LSU going off.

Unlike most IU fans, I think Edey is very skilled for such a big man. It's true he doesn't get called for many fouls, but he doesn't do many stupid things on defense. I have no love for Purdue, but I admire Edey's hustle and sheer desire to win. I'll be damn glad to see him out of the B1G.

The only downside of Clark to Indy will be forcing Grace to the shadows. Hopefully she'll be okay, though. I think she will. She more than held her own when I was able to watch last year.

Couldn't be happier for TJD. Last I saw he's broken into the starting lineup. If he could shoot he'd be an all-star, but he'll have a profitable career.

No, I didn't.

Her actions on the court are a sidebar and what kind of hurt her.

You don't understand social media. You don't understand how popular some on the women's side are. Not because of their actions, but because they're really talented.
 
Did she say All of America was racist? I missed that. Yes Caitlin gets hate too, for her behavior also. The notoriety comes with hate too. There’s a thread on the basketball page about Caitlin looking like a man. The women have to deal not only with racism but also sexism.

They also don't have their weight listed anywhere like the men do (from what I have found, but I don't look too hard I'll admit). Is that anti-sexism?

Examples matter even if they do not support your stance.

I'm not sure why you haven't watched an MLB game thus far there have been some entertaining games.
 
Yeah, but you've got Joe as your fallback.
That's quite a fall.

Was great weekend for Sports.

Final 4's. The mens tournament has been meh. There is no where near the talent in college basketball that there was last year.

Reds are exciting as hell to watch even if they may be a .500 team. Rangers and Astros might be best rivalry in baseball at the moment are playing a 4 game series that ends tonight.

I'm betting that the Mavs Rockets game sunday was far more entertaining as was the Mavs/Warriors game on friday night than anything the womens tourney had to offer.

I also have DVR'r games of the new Womens volleyball league to watch. JO's daughter Asjia ONeal has taken her talent to columbus, Ohio for the fury. Looking forward to Womens Volleyball team in the Olympics. Way better than womens basketball.

On to MLS, Austin FC vs San Jose was another amazing game that ended 4-3 as Driussi seems back to form and notched the Game winning goal in the 100 minute during extra time.

I read that SC won the womens title. Sorry that I did not watch. Isn't the bar low for Womens college basketball setting viewership records. I tuned in for all of 10 minutes the entire weekend so maybe I was counted. That is pretty much on par with other years. I might of watched a full stanford final 4 game since I saw a You tube video on Cameron Brink. I had to google who was the tall blond pony tailed lady in the New Balance commercial.

No the bar isn’t really low. It’s been surpassing many of the men’s games. The one on ESPN set the record for all games watched.
