In a world that doesn’t uplift strong, motivating, black fathers…I’m shining the light on mine because I wouldn’t be who I am today without him. Being poured into on a daily, means more to me than any acknowledgment from strangers. How can I be a disappointment when this is who raised me? ❤️

The Valks are two wins from a title without All-WNBA talent or a COTY. Their season exposes the blind spots in how the league rewards individual excellence & what it takes to win. sfstandard.com/2026/10/26/go…

The Valkyries are breaking the WNBA, and the league doesn’t know what to make of them

No team has won a title without a first- or second-team All-WNBA player. Golden State is two wins away from doing it.

Update: 5-20 in his last 25 games as an NFL starting quarterback.

Jacoby Brissett is 3-15 in his last 18 games as an NFL starting quarterback. He's 33 years old and was originally signed as Kyler Murray's backup. Pushing him as a viable option at QB, after a 3-14 campaign in which he lost nine straight, is disingenuous.

I’ve heard from several NBA executives about this situation today. The general sentiment is that NBA games can be moved, but it’s extremely difficult two days in advance. There’s employees to schedule, tickets to sell, travel and player health to consider. A few weeks ago, it would have been a lot easier to move a game to Cleveland or from Thursday to Friday (creating back-to-backs for both teams). But last minute is very challenging.

Eric Bauza dying might be the worst thing to happen to animation in like decades, im so fr, that man was the modern day Mel blanc. He was SO passionate about carrying on those characters to the modern day, he was such an amazing actor and created so many characters of his own.

“This should've been solved weeks ago, and definitely at the same time Games 3 and 4 were solved," one source said. Said another: "The fact we are making these decisions so we can play a WNBA game at a larger arena is the best news of all. ... It just has to be scheduled better in advance. Moving games is much harder now than it would have been a week ago."
