NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Huge celebrity in my house. I told my 13 year old daughter that you liked one of my skeets and she bragged to her friends about it. And I went to South during the Josh Hartnett and Rachel Leigh Cook time, so that’s really saying something.

Nice to see ESPN quote our New York Times story today.

But the big story here is this sentence:

"According to a report from Deloitte earlier this year, revenues are projected to top $1 billion this year."

If true, WNBA players are getting 2% of revenue!!!

There's a delicious irony in WNBA sources complaining about Unrivaled's role in CBA negotiations when the league exists in no small part because of the prioritization rules the WNBA insisted on during the current CBA. Be careful what you wish for ...

re the Clark quote Engelbert denies saying: “Multiple sources contacted by ESPN said Collier had relayed Engelbert's comments to them within several days of the February meeting.”

Nate Pentz @natepentz.bsky.social · 10d

"Collier would do this alone: There was no communication or coordination with the players' association, for which Collier served as vice president, sources say."

Finally an article that names the problem. There was a recent NYPost article that said the W needs to “find its Adam Silver.” We already have that guy and we don’t want him either.

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

WNBA's Engelbert under fire — but the NBA's power looms larger

Engelbert faces blazing criticism from WNBA players, but the NBA's ownership and influence remain the central challenge to the league's future.

Another Frey-PAC backed candidates getting money from McDonald's franchise owners from out of state. Are they trying to overturn the drive-through ban?

The WNBPA has issued a statement re: Napheesa Collier's comments.

"The leaders of the league and its teams would benefit from listening to her powerful statement. The players know their value even if the league does not."

Anyone who brings up Phee and Unrivaled in the context of the CBA and trying to claim that they have a conflict of interest are just standing up for the billionaires. Stand with the Players.
