Last week, Charissa Thompson opened her yap on the podcast Pardon My Take and, for reasons still largely not understood by the rest of us, thought it was super-cute to admit that she has, in the past, made up sideline reports. How adorable!...
A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are the WNBA’s Bird and Magic
There’s nothing worse than an ending that doesn’t offer a definite ending. Think The Sopranos cutting to black in the diner or Emmy-winning GLOW being canceled on a cliffhanger during the pandemic as the ‘94 MLB strike-shortened season of series finales. Last month, Winning Time ended with the Bosto...
