Hey, I love this show, and I hope I get to see its popularity EXPLODE! Tbh, Caitlin Clark got me excited in sports again for the first time since I was a kid--which led me to you amazing ladies
This episode's Bicker of the Week had me LOL'ing... I love the vibe in this ep. You guys are both fully in your element (and the new yellow togethxr tee is lit)
Every time I watch your show, I take out my jerseys and put them over chairs and drink coffee listening to your show. Your show is positive and honest, no yelling, great job!
I just came upon your podcast...instant subscriber! Your analysis is so refreshing. No hyperbole, no click-bait, just thoughtful and respectful input always worthy of full consideration. Every sports fan like myself truly has a special place for Legends like Sue Bird! Appreciate you both!
Bicker. I love how SB is OK with MR not fixing her car...SB is a patient person, lol! I think that would be part of the reason why I'd divorce the guy! At the same time, MR has so much compassion and is patient with the hen-pecking. Yay for them!!
CT resident, UConn fan and was a huge Bird fan in college! CC brought me to the W and Sue coaching Caitlin someday would be a dream! Point guards are just special 🫶🏻
Ya’ll need to do a video on how shady the WNBA is WNBA is leaving Reese and A’ja in garbage time.. when they up by 20 or down by 20 in the fourth Meanwhile CC sitting on the bench with 4 minutes left Wouldn’t the Aces want to keep A’ja safe and rested for the playoffs ?
Normally a tennis season starts with the Australian open (hard court) goes to French open (which ends the clay season) then Wimbledon (ends the grass season) and then you come back to hard courts for the us open. But this year players had to go from hard court to clay to grass back to clay for the Olympics before ending at hard court. So they didn’t have the build up on hard court that some other players did
Angel killed it? She stayed in the game with the game decided long ago with the bottom of the Fever's bench to get 10 points and get her coveted double double. How is that killing it?
It's interesting as the Aces had SIX players play in the Olympics, which has to be some kind of record. It has to be hard when half of your roster is gone, and then you have to rework them back into the lineup. Plus, Megan and Tiffany had BIGGER roles with their Olympic squads, so going from being heavily relied on to less relied on has to be an adjustment for the player. And A'ja basically had the same responsibility on team USA that she has for the Aces, so, there's that.
Clark broke Ticha Penicheiro's rookie assist record in fewer games! Sue Bird you should be specific because it sounds like you are saying all records are being broken because of the longer season. True in some cases but not others
Truly enjoy the pod as usual ❤ hearing from you. As far as the car it pretty disrespectful if your partner doesn't value your things and take care if them. In the car case Megan really needs to get Sues car fixed. Overtime things like that can build up to resentment.
@@CAS482 It is getting really sad at this point that talking about Caitlin's turnovers is the only bad thing you can say about her. And now she has 2 triple doubles. But sure, let's talk about the turnovers. And let's talk about how Lebron has more than anyone.
@@malebovinemanure There is one more bad thing CC has and that is her Defense which is non-existent. LeBron has 5,211 turnovers in 21 years of playing in the league. CC has 171 so far this year with 4 games to go, which will be near 200. If CC play 21 years at 200 per year 4200 total, but the WNBA only plays 40 games per year compared to NBA which plays 82 per year. And that means CC will have 8,200 turnovers when she is finished playing. If half of the turnovers end up with points for the other team that 8,400 points she gave to other teams during her playing time in the league. DAMN !!!!!!
I owned my own business for 25 years....61% increase in pricing to consumers/customers is criminal and price gouging . The league has their "momnt in time" and the first thing they do is step on the fans who stuck it out through being {example} 1 of 3000 in a 9,000 seat arena. 25% -35% hike would be acceptable as good business based on market ...Turn the league into "deep pockets only'' and watch their identity go in the toilet. Sue,as a minority owner in Seattle I would have thought you would have gone into a more in depth conversation about the increases. It comes with the territory and position. Megan,driving is a privilege not a right....When your life partner tells you that you are reckless behind the wheel ....LISTEN UP...BE THAT TEAM PLAYER !
No need for asterisks on those records. If the league is doing well and growing and the season gets longer, just acknowledge the prior record holders and move along. Otherwise we may end up with series of asterisks and footnotes on every record.
CC just got another triple-double! She is definitely looking like an MVP. Aja is very good, but she is not the most valuable player on her team, in her conference, or in the entire league. CC is the MVP. Let the discussion begin!
Props to CC for the second triple double this season and all... She is definitely going to win roty, especially due to her performances after the olympics and the Fever having clinched the playoffs after so long, but she's not winning mvp. This year's mvp is A'ja, without a question
CC vs. Reese. Everyone on RUclips is playing the game of their rivalry. But, it seems like CC and Reese are not playing with everyone. I don’t actually see any rivalry between the two, by either of them. It’s completely fictional.
This was very humanizing for Rapinoe. At least for me. Even though there was politics, it wasn't bludgeoning. After all, DEI is a more complex conversation than you can have here with simple declaratives and smugness. But anyway, MR reminds me of myself in 2004. Air America, Al Franken, loud & proud about my certainty of everything of everyone else's bigotry and racism... but here she is very low-key and relatable. Humanization is important. Kinda hard to hate someone who could basically be your sister..
My thought is that we tend to conflate best player and most valuable player. Ex Aja’s has won 2 straight and they are pretty much the same team. Yes she is having an amazing year. Let’s look at the fever they have ! New player from last year who has helped them be a much better team ergo that player would be the most valuable and not necessary the best performing
I love @suebird but she shoulda brushed up on tennis if she wants to talk about it. I’m a native New Yorker and Sue’s age and the US Open used to be a bonafide New Yorker’s event so every NYer went - the exact opposite of the Empire State Building, which yes I have never been to. Now the US Open is the Times Square of Tennis, a tourist and rich person’s event and I think ruined by the giant monstrosity of Arthur Ashe Stadium. FYI- French is clay Wimbledon grass While I haven’t Googled it in ages so it may have changed again, the US Open hard Court and the Aussie Open hard courts are different. It’s why say Agassi had 4 Aussies and only 2 US Opens. Also I know that Wimbledon cuts the grass differently now than when Martina was dominating all those years ago and it either makes the ball faster or slower and the bounce height is difference.
Whats up with the fans in Atlanta. They have a small arena and still have empty seats, including the game they had this last week - i forget who the opponent was - not the Fever game. Yet their team right now is amazing. Yes they can beat the Liberty!
CLARK is MVP. GLOBAL SUPERSTAR in and out of court. As Nancy Lieberman said. CLARK will soon make her teammates and other WNBA MULTI MILLIONAIRES. WNBA Lifted
So i am a huge Womens Sports fan in NY and use to luv to go to all the games esp at MSG games for Liberty @ this point all the games are so expensive and add parking and tolls esp to go to Barclays its ridicoulous....no offense get the business sense but only people with serious money can go now (no offense it feels like we fund those tickets as they arent paying). Lastly with them spreading all the locations out not so easy just to go after work. 😂
Former college player here who loved playing. I am a Fever fan and love CC but I also like watching Chennedy Carter play. I appreciate their play. I want to put this out here so for whatever reason I’d advise not to call me a racist. I heard this on Elle Duncan’s podcast. Let’s stop victimizing CC bc she’s not a victim bc she gets up and shows her play. Let’s talk about her accolades and NOT when she gets fouled hard (sometimes flagrant). As an elite player she doesn’t want to be known as a victim. She wants to be known for what she does on the court and how she handles herself with all this stuff AND she lets her play speak for herself. By the way, she has made a statement to her fans and basically she said she doesn’t condone any of this AND the fans and media basically needs to stop. Anyway, off my soapbox.
I knew the comments were going to take exception to the contextualizing of stats and records. But it's not just the statistically literate thing to do, it's also the methodically correct way to examine the past. Sports go through qualitative changes over time. "Style" is a malleable expression of how players adapt to the competition at the time. Rules change over time. Sports medicine changes over time. Capital follows different trends at different times Other generational players have made their mark and influenced what today's generational players do. There's nothing diminishing about recognizing this.
🤔😉you know in the Army you get big medal and you also get these tie clip things🤷🏽♀️. Men get those old man fishing hat clip, things. I suppose one can add on tops like those Girl Scout like things? 🤔just a thought. I’m. Lucky if I remember to put anything in my purse.
The increase in the price of the wnba tics needs to consider their fan base. When I watch a wnba, it’s families at the games with their kids…looks very different from watching an nba game. Do not price out those families. I’m a “cat lady” so not hugely important to me, but I love seeing the kids at the games. The teams need to make their money from tv/cable deals, sponsors, etc., like mlb.
I don’t get the flowers 🌸 to Boston 😮 for the most part she played as a wall thanks god CC know how to use it to her advantage, but she is a wall no more, shooting poorly, she need to seat down
I like Sue, I was a lonely Ionescu /NY fan. 2 &20 to Finals in 3.! They’re on YES & 9 m away. Easter I’m playing 🏀w my niece she’s telling me about CC. Now I’ve got season tickets. Kid is rocking a damn fever jersey in Brooklyn ( that’s lil sis) so now I’ve got 44& 20. Instead of a t shirt. it’s a lot of fun. I think CC is a role model. My brother got the lil ones in sports. Idk why there is no 🏀until like high school in SI. But the Catholics got teams?? So we got her on a team. Super athletic but she’s 10 and these girls been playing together since 5. So there was some hazing but whatever. She became a better bench player and went to their playoffs sick. They kinda knew when it was a wrap ,she insisted. Puked all over my brother brand new truck on the way home.
Sue Bird needs to call the games. Love listening to her analyzing the games.
Yeah Bird is good looking and she knows her basketball better than most
@@inertial6 nope she’s bias.
Sue Bird NEEDS to coach!!

Ya’ll need to do a video on how shady the WNBA is
WNBA is leaving Reese and A’ja in garbage time.. when they up by 20 or down by 20 in the fourth
Meanwhile CC sitting on the bench with 4 minutes left
Wouldn’t the Aces want to keep A’ja safe and rested for the playoffs ?
Becky wants to make sure Aja gets that mvp.
CC isn’t even in the conversation. lol. Look at the stats. 1. A’ja 2. Phee 3. Stewie

The SKY is FALLING via ANGEL.
She is killing her credibility. 😂
@@SpicySiopaoThat's all she's killing. If only winning could be more important than double doubles.
Wow! Disappointed they’re ok with stat padding.
@@LittlePeculiar13 Too afraid to hurt anyone's feelings with the truth.
Great show ladies
any idea where Megan's top is from? its great!

Caitllin broke the rookie assists in less games.
CC broke the WNBA all time turnovers record in less games.
@@CAS482turnovers really don't matter as long as you are winning games. Try to learn the other valuable stats

I believe the player who beat Coco, Emma played for the USA in this recent Olympics. Emma has beaten Coco two for two. Whatever that’s worth.

Ticha penicheiro’s 225 rookie assists record was for a season consisting of 30 games, Caitlin did that in 28 games!!! Sue is misinformed I guess!!
