Quick fact-check: Olivia Miles has not set the all-time WNBA rookie assist record. Caitlin Clark still holds the record with 337 assists in 2024. Olivia Miles has 228 assists through 37 games - putting her 109 assists behind Clark’s record. She has moved into 2nd all-time among WNBA rookies in assists. Great rookie season. Wrong record. 🤷♂️

VIKINGS ALREADY REGRETTING THEIR 1ST-ROUND PICK?! 😱🏈 Our NFL Draft Analyst Tony Pauline reveals that the new leadership in the Minnesota Vikings front office is internally questioning the prior regime's decision to draft defensive lineman Caleb Banks with the 18th overall pick. The complete breakdown: - Banks entered camp admittedly out of shape, showing lingering setbacks after a foot injury limited him to just 3 games at Florida in 2025 and kept him from working out at the NFL Combine. While Banks struggles to find his footing, 3rd-round rookie defensive lineman Dom Orange (Iowa State) has been "playing lights out" in camp and appears set to steal a Week 1 starting role. - Minnesota’s coaching staff needs immediate production from its rookie class and if late 1st-round targets like Bears Safety Dillon Thieneman excel, the criticism surrounding the Banks pick will only amplify. - Pauline emphasizes no one in Minnesota Vikings is cutting Banks or writing his obituary, but his lack of early readiness has sparked serious internal debate.

Indiana were leading 90-79 with 4:10 left, and Sophie Cunningham was called for a foul on A’ja Wilson. After the whistle, a courtside fan near the baseline stood up, pointed at Wilson, and yelled at her. Wilson walked toward that section, pointed back, and shouted at the fan. Teammates, an assistant, and security pulled her away. Officials reviewed the sequence, gave Wilson a technical foul, and did not eject her. Two fans were briefly walked away from the baseline seats. The Fever later said security talked to the fan and witnesses after a report of a comment directed at a player, found no Fan Code of Conduct violation, and did not remove the fan from the arena. The two fans returned to their seats with a little over three minutes left. The man put his hands up as if to say he hadn’t done anything. However, Wilson had a different opinion. What did you make of this entire incident?
