ESPN reporters Holly Rowe and Shelley Smith

[John Kelly]

I sometimes confuse the two ladies for one another.

Can you blame me?

That's running back James Conner pictured between the two women.

Conner rose to prominence with the Pitt Panthers and later the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Like Conner, both Rowe and Smith are cancer survivors.

 

[John Kelly]

Holly Rowe served as the courtside reporter for this season's pandemic-disrupted WNBA coverage on ESPN.

Courtside reporter or better yet, shameless publicist of the WNBA.

No reporting whatsoever.

Merely one puff piece after another.

 

[John Kelly]

How bad was it?

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe posed for pictures with the champion Seattle Storm.

 

[John Kelly]

Why did Diamond DeShields quit on her Chicago Sky team late in the season?

Why was head coach Brian Agler losing control of his Dallas Wings team during the second half of the season?

Why did WNBA players revolt against Atlanta Dream owner Kelly Loeffler?

Why did the ladies of the WNBA call for the arrest of three Louisville police officers in the tragic death of Breonna Taylor before the Attorney General of Kentucky announced his findings?

And most importantly, do the women of the WNBA believe in due process?

Candace Parker obviously doesn't believe in due process.

She was quoted as saying, "This season has been dedicated to arrest the cops that are responsible for the murder of Breonna Taylor."

One more story to investigate: Maya Moore and her social justice stance involving a man who would later become her future husband.

Was Moore making a political statement or finding a future mate or BOTH?

 

[Murphy’s Best]

Fuck the WNBA.... we don’t need another men’s league!

 

[John Kelly]

Fuck the WNBA.... we don’t need another men’s league!

I remember a simpler time when Sue Wicks was the only WNBA player to announce her sexual preference.

The year was 1997.

and how about wiggins early retirement because she was always hounded by lesbians sexually

 

[John Kelly]

The league is conflicted when impressionable 12-year-old girls attend a WNBA game and then see a scoreboard display featuring the KissCam.

 

[John Kelly]

and how about wiggins early retirement because she was always hounded by lesbians sexually

'

Ah yes.

And she did not go quietly.

 

[railbird]

i wonder if stacey abrams got ahold of the wnba players to poo poo loeffler

 

[John Kelly]

A few years ago, Sparks' GM Penny Toler told some sordid details about a season on the brink with Brian Agler in charge.

Toler insinuated Agler had an inappropriate relationship with a player on the team.

I guessed it was Brian Agler and Sydney Wiese.

Agler was 59 and Wiese was 22.

Boost Brian Agler's power rating an additional two-and-a-half points.

 

[John Kelly]

i wonder if stacey abrams got ahold of the wnba players to poo poo loeffler

Why campaign against a woman who supports your league when you're constantly crying for more money?

I don't get it.

 

[John Kelly]

Agler and Wiese looked like they were having a good time in this interview.

 

[Abundy]

The league should dissolve. I know you love betting Beaver Ball JK.

 

[cheapseats]

The league should dissolve. I know you love betting Beaver Ball JK.

Been there, done that!

 

[John Kelly]

I love women, I love basketball, thus I love women's basketball.

Too bad the women don't love me.

 

[John Kelly]

 

[Abundy]

You are invisible to WNBA players.

 

[Abundy]

Hopefully you are still very visible to most all women

 

[cheapseats]

A penumbrel lunar eclipse will occur Monday aka, Beaver Moon.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

JK....mixing politics with sports is not a good look....stooping down to Railbird’s level.....your power rating down a couple points.........hahaha, just being my humorous self....

 

[John Kelly]

Politics, the greatest sport of all.

That's what EOG contributor FORESTHILL likes to say.

I'm waiting to find a game where an established coach who believes he benefited from "white privilege" allows his coaching counterpart, a man of color, to engineer an upset.

I don't get it.

Loeffler doesn't support the league, she's an alt right cunt who didn't support the players when all the shit was going down, she said the players should shut up and not give their opinions, players in the WNBA hate her

 

[FairWarning]

Loeffler doesn't support the league, she's an alt right cunt who didn't support the players when all the shit was going down, she said the players should shut up and not give their opinions, players in the WNBA hate her

She’s right. These players would be bartending. Lebron has power, the league generates billions.

 

[kane]

She’s right. These players would be bartending. Lebron has power, the league generates billions.

She's not right about the players needing to shut up, they have just as much right to voice their opinions as we or anyone else does

 

[FairWarning]

She's not right about the players needing to shut up, they have just as much right to voice their opinions as we or anyone else does

She does but people also have e right to turn off their games and not support the league. The owner realizes that. Take away the NBA safety net and there is no league.

 

[John Kelly]

The WNBA has been bleeding money since its inception.

Adam Silver estimates losses of $10 million per year.

It irritates me just a bit when the ladies cry for more money.

In the real world, you only eat what you kill.

That said, I love the on-court product and I own an orange hooded sweatshirt compliments of the WNBA store.

Do You Think There is a Dues Paying NBA Player, That Has The BALLS To Speak Up and Ask The Question, Why is My Business Using its Profits To Pay For The Sustainability of another Business ?

It Takes Away From My Negotiated Pay and Benefits Package.

Does Walmart Finance Smith's and Albertsons ?


It's Also The Complete Opposite of What Happens in The NCAA.

What Kind of Salaries are College Basketball/Football Players Getting Paid ? ZERO!

What Type of Revenue Do They Generate ? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


WNBA Broads Generate ZERO.

Get Paid Well.

Nobody in The Sport Has The BALLS To Make That Public Statement.

Haha.

But neither Holly Rowe nor Shelley Smith are former Olympians.

ESPN's Holly Rowe was at it again tonight.

More senseless basketball commentary from her.

What else is new?

She spoke glowingly about the shooting ability of the women's basketball teams from DePaul and Louisville "after watching some men's games earlier in the day."

Rowe said, "The women can really shoot the rock."

Rowe conveniently omitted the difference in the size of basketball between the men's and women's games.

Tsk tsk.

 

[John Kelly]

I love the women's game but let's not compare the women with the men.

Apples and oranges.

Same sport, totally different game.

 

[Valuist]

I love the women's game but let's not compare the women with the men.

Apples and oranges.

Same sport, totally different game.

Let’s not forget the difference in athleticism in the defenders.

 

[John Kelly]

Let’s not forget the difference in athleticism in the defenders.

Indeed.

Also, the women's game is played below the rim while the men's game is played above the rim.

MANY years ago Mater Die boys basketball was playing in the CIF (local area) title game. I don't remember when it happened but I think it was someone like Miles Simon (so you know how long ago it happened) recognized they were playing with a GIRLS basketball. They made the change after that.

I have no idea how it happened. The Ref (the official who tosses the ball up to start the game) gets a ball handed to him (In a Boys game - always a male official) from the home team and that is the ball used. My guess is for championship games there might be a ball used that is not belonging to either school. Regardless, I know when I get the ball I look it over and make sure it is round (You would no believe the number of times at some rinky-dink school the ball the home team hands us is so awful we actually reject it and a few times the balls are so bad I have gotten one from the visitors).

ANY ref who is working a playoff game has done too many games to count in their career and can tell the difference right way without even looking at the ball. You just pick up each one and they feel different. For 3 officials not to realize they were playing with a girls ball after all them all had a chance to hold it at some point in time during the game is shocking.
