  1. Past hour
  2. It's like the player's association asked a PR firm for the 5 best and 5 worst slogan options for WNBA player promotion - and the player's association mixed up the lists. Group requests of "pay me what I am worth" have typically failed, largely because they are tone deaf. They are getting paid between $80k-$250k per year for 40 games and playoffs - in a presently money-losing business. Most (all?) finished 4 years of college; I would think at least one of them would have taken an economics or finance course. That said, there is a very "with us or against us" mindset in the WNBA. Economics be damned. Details of the WNBA finances are difficult to find, either because it was not interesting before last year or they are so bad, the NBA does not want to share how much it is funding. Some reports say 2024 revenue was $200mm, with a loss around $40mm. The entire salary pool for WNBA players is presently near $19.5mm (13 teams * 1.5mm per team - cap is lower, but some go over cap). That's about 1/12 of the overall costs using the revenue/loss numbers. For reference, NBA players earn around $5B on NBA revenue of $11B - overall profit of $3B. For the new CBA - here are some idaes... Players: Baseline revenue of $200mm. As revenue increases, so does our income. Up to 10%, end of season bonuses for each player commensurate with delta between baseline and revenue. Above 10%, salary cap, min salary, max salary increases. Above 25% ($250mm revenue), renegotiation of CBA is triggered). Owners: Revenue increases imply demand is increasing. We need more games. Salary cap increases will motivate game expansion. 2-4 more games per season (scheduling problems may occur). Perhaps the reasons are obvious (like the finances really are a mess), but player's association should dive deep into the finances. They may be willing to give up some of the "frills" that contribute to the $240mm expense - and to help the league become solvent. Maybe not
  3. Just sent y’all some friend requests. If you wanna beat up a practice squad, let me know. 🙂
  4. Then pay them what they are owed after the owners are made whole for keeping the league running at a loss forever. Did they add WNBA to the NBA2k games as an excuse to divert some of the profits to women? I can’t imagine more than 5 people bought those games to play WNBA mode.
  5. This movie was very much like Wind River for me. I didn’t want to be around other people for a couple of days after I watched it.

  7. Tatanka has been the preferred nomenclature in our household ever since this movie was released. Usually with the same enthusiasm as in the movie.
  8. Holler for Seguin yo! Coach Akers assigned me that number as an homage to clean Seguin. I have always thought that was pretty cool. Ok. Carry on.

  10. Still in first by 3 games. Third best record in the AL. Everyone needs to take a breath and light their St. Altuve candles.
  11. Lots of birdies available today with such favorable current conditions. Definitely doesn't feel like a typical British Open environment or course layout...
  12. https://www.hudl.com/profile/19318630/Ezavier-Crowell https://www.hudl.com/profile/19057210/Derrek-Cooper i don’t know fuck about shit, but I think Crowell is a better back by a good margin.
  13. You really seem to have your head around how Vegas sets lines.
  14. The new TV deal is going to put them in the black
  15. Yet again, seeing a bunch of quotes of a poster I put on ignore years ago and forgot why I did. Then I see the quotes and it’s “oh, yeah, that’s why”. Wow.
  16. Trade Framber, Hader, anyone they can get top prospects for; give Yordan, Peña, Paredes, and the other starting pitchers 9 months to heal and Christian Walker to get his shit together.
  17. Looks like we lead the league in injuries during the all star break.
  18. Good vibes from Bobby’s posts (my opinion)
  19. What do you think they’re owed? because right now they’re a collection of actors that have lost money in every single movie r the hey make for the last 25 years.

  21. umm...Thats Rebecca Lobo you insensitive prick
  22. You two assholes decided that the current state of our country isn't dark enough, so you figured you would do your part to make it 10% worse. Thanks.
  23. Wheelhouse.
  24. Motto!
