I'm now going to tweet this out for the next 10 years.

I'm listening to Jason Benetti call today's Tigers-Rangers game and I keep thinking:

How on earth did the White Sox let this guy get away?

Just inconceivable.

A major sports story coming (The Athletic has great women's basketball/other writers who will be on it):

The WNBA's current TV deals with ESPN, CBS, Amazon and Ion run out after 2025 season.

Think about the timing of this given the W's current players, the 2024 Draft class,…

Heads up.

If the ESPYs can appear on ABC in primetime on Thursday night, the women's college basketball national semifinals (which drew viewership numbers this year the ESPYs can only dream of) can absolutely air on ABC in a long Friday window.

Do it, Disney.

The cover of SPORTS ILLUSTRTATED, 25 years ago this week:

This tweet is from three years ago.

Now the moment is at hand.

Here's hoping the Larry Tanenbaum-backed group goes all-in after top Rogers brass reportedly opposed a bid. SMH.

I covered the exhibition game in Toronto. It's all set for the WNBA to succeed in Canada.

An excellent piece by David Aldridge on Jontay Porter and sports leagues playing with fire.

I like to pass along an update on the current state of U.S. politics to my Canadian followers every now and then.

Here is today’s update:

The Clarkonomics (Debbie Antonelli, get this trademarked) train continues. Good for her.

We're in the middle of a massive cultural moment in the United States with women's basketball. As someone who covered it for years and is really invested in it, I'm going to tweet about it.

It's also a nice changeup between tweets on bullshit and kayfabe artists from Queens.

A shoutout to Ben Cafardo as well. Another person who stepped up here.

Every day.

Follow-up: ESPN added the attribution for Sports Media Watch. Respect that. Heard one of their PR execs bill hofheimer took it upon himself to make it right so a shoutout to him.

Here is some remarkable data from Canada regarding the 2024 WNBA Draft:

The 2023 WNBA Draft drew 17,000 viewers on Canadian television (TSN).

The 2024 WNBA Draft drew 140,000 viewers.

That is a +723.5% increase.

The following has been released by the NBA.

I've always said Maya Moore is the best women's basketball player I covered. Read what Cheryl Reeve said here and then check out the YouTube clip.
