I was laid off from Bally Sports yesterday. I am incredibly bummed, because I loved the work and the team I was on. But I also plan on continuing to cover women's basketball and Olympic sports, so I don't think you've heard the last of me just yet.
It looks like I can't get back into

, no matter how much I bug Twitter. So, this will be my account unless there's a miracle. Follow me here, and RT if you can. Thanks!
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr.'s alleged attack on his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, at a New York City hotel left the woman with a fractured neck vertebrae and a cut above her right eye, prosecutors said Tuesday.
You surely did do that

I can't speak to women's hockey but I do know this is also quite true in WBB. One thing people who are full-time can do to help those who aren't is be thoughtful to ask questions that are for more than just your story, or even offer to ask questions for people who can't be there.
Remember to support the folks who are dedicated to covering women's hockey.
The majority of credentialed media covering this sport have day jobs. An 11 a.m. ET press conference on a weekday is difficult for a lot of us, to say the least. It excludes a lot of dedicated creators.
Reminder for all of my non-WNBA media friends who are going to talk about the WNBA in coming weeks because of the playoff race and then the playoffs:
1. Conferences mean nothing in playoff standings. Top 8 teams overall qualify.
2. It's semifinals, not conference finals.

As I am still locked out of my Twitter account -- and now have more time to work on that! -- I would appreciate anyone who sees this RTing the news. Also, my DMs are open for any opportunities. ❤️

I’ve been off the WNBA beat this week doing very important work. I’ll be catching up on and talking playoffs on
@LiveontheLine
this week. The important work:
Gonna be honest -- I'm sad I'm not at Wintrust for a game where
@Sloot22
is going off. I have faith in my future and all that, but this one game? I'm a little sad.
Tonight! I will be on WTTW's Chicago Tonight.
Tomorrow night! I will be at the Taste of Melrose Park, the greatest of all tastes.
Sunday! I will be staying in my sewing room, recovering from all the socializing.
As I reported on
@ESPN1000
just now… the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field during a
#WhiteSox
game was indeed an accidental discharge by one of the women “grazed” by the bullet. She reportedly snuck the gun in past metal detectors hiding it in the folds of her belly fat.
@darcangel21
I wonder if the fact they haven't locked her up yet is a sign retirement is in her future. I can't picture her playing anywhere else, since being close to her family was such a big factor in her going to Washington.
Good morning friends! In about a month, I'm participating in Women Build with Habitat for Humanity. I'm dang excited, and would love your help raising money to help more people find their way to home ownership:
@ktrain_11
Baggage, but also a devoted fanbase and name recognition (and amazing kits!) I'd jump into women's sports any way I could if I had the money, even if I had to invest more time/effort than resources.
Every time we watch tennis, I remember how much I love watching tennis, wonder why I don’t watch it more, get super stressed from watching it, then remember why I don’t watch it as much.
You remember how defeated Indiana looked at the end of last season? I remember a bunch of REALLY sad faces on the bench.
A complete, complete turnaround.
The Fever's Kelsey Mitchell was named the Eastern Conference player of the week. It makes me so happy to see Kelsey get the accolades she's deserved for years.
We heard the requests... And we are so excited to release WNBA Grids!
Every day you can test your WNBA (and a little NCAA) knowledge of players past and present.
WNBA Grids, built by

I have a friend who dreamed of going around the country in an RV teaching people how to embroider and about craftivism and then SHE DID IT. If you ever want me to connect you two, I obviously will.
@elindsay08
, you too!
This Washington-Dallas game on NBA TV is fun. Dallas and Washington are two of the teams (along with the Dream and Lynx) in a fight for playoff position, so this could be a very important game for tie breaking.
@ByAlexAzzi
I get what Kasten is saying, but also, women's sports fans by and large *like* to be a part of the growth of the sport. It's not just about entertainment.
I love what Teresa Weatherspoon brings to the ESPN halftime show. If she wants to coach again, I hope that she gets back on the sidelines, but in the meantime, she's brilliant at analysis.
Sandeep is smart, hard-working and creative, and always eager to learn. You can take this tweet as my recommendation, or you can DM me. He's outstanding.
@darcangel21
She is so good. Her comfort in her own skin comes through (which, being comfortable with yourself at that age is incredible) and it puts her guests at ease.
The W is making things needlessly complicated to save not a ton of money in the grand scheme. Forcing commercial flights, during the playoffs, when all flights are fairly last minute? It just makes no sense.
NEW:
@howardmegdal
reports on an internal memo from the
#WNBA
about playoff travel.
“The full playoffs” were defined in such a way that as many as 6 teams could be forced to take a commercial flight during the playoffs after winning a series.
