Diana Taurasi Retires and Paige Bueckers Takes Over GQ

This week, Sue explains her new job as the Managing Director of USA Basketball, and we get some early 2028 Olympic predictions. Then we check in with the NWSL and the WNBA, including reports of a Connecticut Sun sale and a tiny history of getting dunked on in the W in light of Dominique Malonga’s arrival in Seattle. We’re sending Angel City’s Savy King our best after her in-game collapse, and we weigh in on whether the game should have continued.  We are also excited to talk about all the beauty brands entering women’s sports, especially Rihanna’s Fenty partnering with the NY Liberty. Our only question: what took beauty brands so long? Before we wrap, we have a fresh new Bicker we want to get your thoughts on. It involves ice cream – again.  Also, Sue’s new podcast, Bird’s Eye View is launching this week! Subscribe, watch and listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week we’re zooming in on the W’s preseason, including Paige Bueckers’ debut with Dallas and way-too-early odds on MVP rankings. Plus, Caitlin Clark is back and outdoing herself already.

On a lighter note, we ogle the eye-popping suiting at the 2025 Met Gala, which included some of our favorite athletes. Finally, Sue has a new podcast!

This week, we open up the mailbag and answer some of your most burning questions. Like when did Sue realize Megan was the funniest person ever? Will Sue ever coach a WNBA team? What’s our nap schedule? And then we share a very personal conversation we had with World Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lauren Cheney Holiday at the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. Lauren tells us what drives her to invest in women’s sports, how the industry could enable women athletes’ involvement in the business, and her up-close insights into what women’s sports needs to grow. Megan and Lauren also reminisce about the NWSL and do some serious fan-girling over the new generation of soccer players.

The Final Four is officially official. Why has the tournament been so low-scoring so far? And does that mean the team with a Certified Bucket Getter (CBG) is primed to win it all? We chat through this and all the possibilities that could go down in the final stretch. And then onto our Unrivaled Championship Spectacular. We speak to series Champ and Finals MVP Chelsea Gray and the inaugural MVP and 1-on-1 champ Napheesa Collier. Chelsea talks about playing with Angel Reese, the beef that WILL spillover to the W season, and shares some of the ways she’d like to see Unrivaled evolve next year. Then, Napheesa reflects on what it means to start a successful new league, and if she’s going to continue her scorched earth streak into next year.
