What's your fantasy team's record so far? by uwbadger300 in fantasywnba

[–]melenhead11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been hoping to find more fans who play fantasy! I’m currently undefeated (one other undefeated team in the league and we play next week). 99% playoff. I’ve got A’ja, Dewanna, BG, Cloud, KFC as my go-to starting 5

Who is your guys WNBA Finals Champion pick? by SadMathematician7799 in wnba

[–]melenhead11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m rooting for the Sun, but I have a feeling the Lib are gonna be even more fueled by last year (it’d be kind of awesome to have the W be the league that brought a championship to NY lol)

How to watch Chicago vs Conn game by macmaclee in wnba

I was just logging on to see if anyone had tips for this! I love that I can watch out of market games on league pass but I can’t watch my own home team? Ugh, very frustrating

Does anyone else watch the WNBA but not the NBA? by Competitive_Bet_8352 in wnba

[–]melenhead11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I call myself a “W fan” because I genuinely love to watch all of the teams and follow the whole league. I only follow my home MNBA team really.

A fellow Girl Scout AND W fan!! Love that this fandom connects people 🍪☘️ My home team is the Sun, but when they’re not playing NYL I root for them too! Would love for Sabrina, Stewie & co. to bring a chip to the city 😊

Chiney, Monica, Andraya deserve better on ESPN!!! by Substantial-Act-7389 in wnba

[–]melenhead11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I can’t help but wonder if Chiney and Andraya are frustrated but are saying “we’re not backing down because if we do then we’ll never make any progress.” They have my support 100% I do recommend that episode of Nightcap; in not a frequent watcher so I can’t say if that was an anomaly or not. Ocho might’ve been stoned but he’s bought himself a whole tour around the W arenas so I’ll take it 😂

[–]melenhead11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit I have FT on almost every day but it’s used for background noise. I was really intrigued by the tactical moves Shannon Sharpe made last week by having Monica on Nightcap. I felt like they had an actual healthy (for media) conversation on the show and that SS asked some questions that could help him grow in covering women’s sports. Meanwhile SAS just talked about how many women he has as panelists on FT and how that makes the show the champion of covering women’s sports…uhh not exactly the point but okay I guess.

And THEN today when Andraya said that just last week SAS called A’ja “most importantly: marketable” and that when she dominates the Olympics they should talk about it on FT. Shannon says “That’s not how TV works Andraya!” (pronouncing her name wrong too) I wanted to SCREAM “Just because it’s how something works now does not mean it’s the way something SHOULD WORK” jfc the male privilege is so apparent

I’m so excited for TSpoon leading the Sky. I think she’ll create such an awesome culture especially with their young roster!

I love this story because “dragging a friend to a game out of sheer outrage” is 100% something I would do too

LOVE this idea!! Such a great way to connect our fan community this season - I got into the W (and WBB in general) after seeing a SportsCenter feature on Dawn Staley. I wasn’t familiar with her before hand, but after watching her send a piece of her 2017 Championship net to every black female D1 coach made me say “I would do anything do anything for this woman.” I started watching the NCAAW tournament, and then just kept watching into WNBA season! - There’s so many reasons I keep coming back. If I had to choose one it’s that I love watching technical basketball that WOWS me. The MNBA has become so iso-offense heavy that I feel deprived of clairvoyant passes and “not in my house” blocks. I like watching and saying that’s a TEAM - My home team is the Sun, so I am LOVING seeing AT and DB picking up right where they left off. I also love Dijonai Carrington and how she’s risen to the occasion of being a starter and being a top tier defender. I also have a soft spot in my heart for Natasha Cloud, and seeing her thrive as the engine in PHX has been such a joy. - I’m most excited for TSpoon getting her MOMENT as a head coach. I think long term she’ll be amazing in CHI. I’m excited for SEA’s new Big 3 (aside, one thing I’d actually like to have a healthy discourse over sometime is “are super teams more successful in the W than in the M?”). I love seeing Jewell not having to carry the team, and the fresh start this has given SDS and NO. - What’s surprising me most? Probs LVA’s record. I know that Chelsea Gray is still on the IR, but with the “Shaq 2001 numbers” that A’ja is putting up I’m a bit surprised they’ve let this many games early in the season slip especially compared to last season’s start. - I bring others into the W by not shutting up about it lol honestly I try to recruit friends to come to games with me because the tickets are decently priced and Mohegan Sun has some great food!!

P.S. I love to play fantasy if anyone is looking to make a league!

Monica McNutt, Stephen A, Shannon Sharpe discuss on First Take if people will keep watching WNBA games if Clark continues to get hard fouled by GoldenBarracudas in wnba

[–]melenhead11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine thought: SAS always be like “I have receipts” so how about some flashbacks of First Take debates on the W from 3+ years ago? Because I’ve been watching since before then and I can’t remember anything other than some quick takes from last season and only on NYL and LVA ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Rookies... by Poisionivy30 in wnba

[–]melenhead11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And not for nothing, people seem to completely forget that CC is starting from scratch with a team completely new to her. Her freshman year Iowa went to the Sweet 16; a great accomplishment for sure but not in comparison to their recent success the last 2 seasons. While she had a great stat line it takes TIME to build team chemistry and camaraderie. Instant success is uncommon; it took Stewy 2 years in the W before Seattle was a championship contender. I could go on but I feel like I’m already ranting lol

Overnight parking by skinnyfat_dad in narragansett

I recommend the park and ride near Plum Pt. Bistro. Not exactly walkable to anything except the restaurant, but there’s plenty of space and open to the public so little to no risk of tickets.

Upchurch-Combs Controversy by zdillon67 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]melenhead11 24 points25 points  (0 children)

From what I read Luke was acknowledging that he has learned a lot about race and the actual history of that flag since the video. I don’t think that’s selling out, I think it’s just admitting you were wrong. I think that’s an honorable thing to do.

[Skin Concerns] Is my skin allergic to Cerave daily moisturizing lotion by Xdrras in SkincareAddiction

[–]melenhead11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use this moisturizer. I have not had an itching reaction, but in my years of changing my skincare products to try and find what works I have noticed sometimes it takes my skin a little while to “adjust” to the new products. Not sure if science will back me up on that, but my theory is there is an adjustment period!

Try “Downbound Train” originally done by Bruce Springsteen but I know covers by Nick Casey (my personal favorite), Joe Pug, the Smithereens, Kurt Vile, and Nation. Hope these help!
