Caitlin Getting Paid, Valkyries Wins, and a Quick Couples Therapy Session
Megan and Sue are in an #LDR this week—Megan’s in LA, Sue’s back in NYC, and the takes are as hot as ever. They’re diving straight into the biggest WNBA news of the week: the expansion draft. Sue shares her thoughts on the Valkyries’ picks and why, in today’s league, an expansion draft might just reveal some future all-stars.
Plus, we’re introducing a new segment we (Megan) likes to call SCBVCOTW (Sue’s College Basketball Vibe Check of the Week). Sue breaks down the latest rankings and what she predicts is coming next this season. In The Intersection, they discuss Caitlin Clark making the highest-paid female athletes list, the Sabrina 2’s, and other standout player editions.
To wrap it all up, we learn that when it comes to answering questions, sometimes Megan’s just doing what she does best: winging it.
