Podcasts about Atlanta Dream

It's been a minute! After taking a little break, I'm back and, naturally, there is A LOT to talk about.I started this episode by talking about what I think a championship team actually looks and feels like, and what separates a team that can compete from a team that can actually win it all.From there, we've got plenty of hot topics: DeWanna Bonner joining the Atlanta Dream, Kate Martin being waived and where I'd like to see her go next, Nneka Ogwumike's retirement and what's going on with the Sparks, plus a quick conversation about the Mercury and some of their struggles this season.I also talked about A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum not joining Team USA for the World Cup, shared some pre-World Cup thoughts, and then went team-by-team through the playoff field. What do I love about each team? What could get them in trouble? And what am I most excited to see once the playoffs start?And because apparently that wasn't enough, there's a hot take, a little Portland Fire conversation (because yes, I already think they could be a playoff team next season), and some love for Bridget Carleton after her performance against the Lynx and why I thought she stepped into an All-Star mindset.Basically… I took a break, the WNBA kept moving, and now we have some catching up to do.-Follow me on social media:https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5-Chapters:00:00 Intro00:17 Topics for the episode & Housekeeping 02:23 Feeling a championship in the air03:30 Hot Topics | DeWanna Bonner to the Dream06:38 Kate Martin | Nneka Ogwumike & Thoughts on the Sparks 10:40 The Mercury? 12:41 Circling back on the Sparks & Kate 18:00 A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum | Choosing Health 21:24 Pre-World Cup Thoughts23:29 Checklist to Winning a Chip28:18 Lynx36:18 Valkyries 40:47 Aces 45:47 Fever 51:17 Dream56:35 Liberty 1:04:06 Mystics 1:08:27 Wings 1:12:48 MY HOTTEST TAKE01:13:17 Portland Fire (I Love Y'all for real)1:16:24 Bridget Carleton's Defense is Missed

The WNBA is having a moment. Viewership is up. Attendance for this year's WNBA All-Star Game surpassed the NBA's All-Star Game. Games and events can be viewed in a record number of places, from broadcast to cable and streaming. And just this week, Angel Reese of the Atlanta Dream set a single-game record. But the stories about the WNBA capturing national attention in recent weeks are about none of that. Instead, the focus has been on two retired NBA players, including Enes Kanter Freedom, who showed up courtside at an August 23 Chicago Sky–Indiana Fever game wearing a T-shirt that said "Woman: noun. adult human female."“I don't believe that he's being genuine in any realm, in order to create this mass hysteria of sorts for an issue that's actually simply a non-issue,” says Angela Perry, a WNBA content creator, tells The Intercept Briefing. “There are no trans women in the WNBA; there are none attempting to be in the WNBA.”This week on The Intercept Briefing podcast, host Jessica Washington speaks to Perry and journalist Katelyn Burns about how the premier women's professional basketball league has found itself at the center of a right-wing manufactured panic.“The right has made such hay out of trans women in women's sports that they need to keep inventing controversies in order to keep this issue front of mind,” says Burns who writes for the independent newsletter Burns Notice and co-hosts the Cancel Me, Daddy podcast. “We have a midterm election coming up, and to be frank with you, the only thing that the right has done besides terrorizing immigrants is banning trans women from women's sports. It's at the center of almost all of their policies,” continues Burns. “They are inventing controversies about trans people in sports where there are no trans people involved.”“This is about women in general. They're already talking about not wanting women to have the right to vote,” says Perry. “This isn't just about sports. There's a political party trying to scale us back to what they perceive was a time where things were better. But really, it was when women were more controlled.”“The bigger issue is that the people who think that they're protected, it's always going to get to the protected class eventually,” warns Perry. “Right now, the focus is trans, and people think they're safe because ‘I'm not trans. I'm a cis woman and I'm protected.' But it will impact you.”For more, listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Full transcript: https://interc.pt/3UXTwXsKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Penn State fraternities were running an organized cocaine trafficking operation — and one of the defendants is somebody's dad. A 12-year-old girl from Alabama just tied Mo'ne Davis's all-time Little League World Series strikeout record. The Women's Professional Baseball League played its first games in 70 years and nobody's talking about it enough. Caitlin Clark is still getting hit and the WNBA is still fumbling the officiating response. The Red Sox went from 15 games back to a wild card spot on the back of a franchise-record win streak, the Orioles went on a tear of their own, and then Baltimore turned around and traded their franchise catcher to Boston. The team they were chasing. In the same division. What We Cover This Episode Penn State Frat Cocaine Ring Pennsylvania's attorney general charged 14 people connected to a cocaine-trafficking operation running out of two Penn State fraternity houses. This was not a party gone wrong. The AG described it as an upper-level trafficking organization. Two frat members were making regular supply runs to Philadelphia and New York. Pledges were used as labor to cut and package the product. And one of the defendants is a student's father, charged with hiding a safe full of drugs and cash to obstruct the investigation. Delta Upsilon is on interim suspension. Sigma Chi was already not a recognized organization on campus. Thomas Robinson thought his arrest was a prank. It was not a prank. The detail that takes this from news story to full segment: the AG said that for some pledges, cutting and packaging cocaine was their indoctrination into the fraternity. That sentence deserves its own moment.   Women's Professional Baseball League — Inaugural Season The WPBL played its first games on August 1. Four teams. All games at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. Streaming on ESPN+. This is the first professional women's baseball league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954. The No. 1 pick in the inaugural draft was Kelsie Whitmore, a two-way standout who went to the San Francisco Firebells. Mo'ne Davis, 24 years old, was drafted by the Los Angeles Queens. If you watched her pitch at the 2014 Little League World Series, this moment is going to hit you. The league was co-founded by Justine Siegal, the first woman to ever coach for an MLB organization. The regular season runs through September 6. Women have been playing baseball since 1875. This is not a novelty. It is a revival.   Little League World Series — Kinley Rasmus Kinley Rasmus is 12 years old, from Phenix City, Alabama, and she just tied Mo'ne Davis's record for the most strikeouts by a female pitcher in Little League World Series history. Six innings. One hit. Eight strikeouts. Zero runs. Alabama lost 2-0 because they couldn't score behind her. She pitched a complete game shutout and took the loss. That is the most baseball thing that has ever happened. She threw 81 pitches, which means she can't pitch again this tournament under LLWS rules. She's still on the field at shortstop and already went viral for a defensive play in the same game. Her dad is former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus. Her uncle is former outfielder Colby Rasmus. Her other uncle, Case Rasmus, is the team's head coach. This is a baseball family. The nickname circulating on SportsCenter: "Fear the bow." She pitches with a big white bow in her hair.   WNBA Roundup The Indiana Fever went 2-1 this week and are pushing for a playoff spot. Caitlin Clark is still in the middle of the biggest officiating controversy the WNBA has had in years. Five technical fouls on the season, including one for clapping. Alyssa Thomas hit her in the throat on a dead ball and nothing was called in real time. The WNBA later reviewed it, upgraded it to a Flagrant 2, and suspended Thomas. The Fever's appeal on the clapping technical is still pending. Beyond Indiana, the Atlanta Dream are the most fun team in the league right now. They dropped 124 points on the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. That is not a misprint. The Las Vegas Aces are dangerous again after hammering Connecticut 101-78. The Minnesota Lynx are 4-1 over their last five and making a quiet playoff push. And the Portland Fire, a first-year expansion team, beat both Seattle and Phoenix this week.   MLB — The Red Sox and Orioles Post-All-Star Tear The Red Sox entered the All-Star break on a 9-game winning streak. They came out of it and immediately swept the Tampa Bay Rays in four games. The streak hit 13 straight — the longest in franchise history since 1948 and tied for second-longest ever. At the peak, Boston was 50-48 and sitting in the AL's third wild card spot. They were 15 games back in late June. The Orioles went on a 7-game win streak of their own, sweeping the Houston Astros before rolling into Fenway Park. Two teams combined for 20 consecutive wins walking into the same series. Boston won Game 1 to push to 14 straight. AL East standings as of August 22: Tampa Bay Rays: 76-52 (1st) New York Yankees: 73-56 (2nd) Boston Red Sox: 69-59 (3rd, Wild Card) Toronto Blue Jays: 64-67 (4th) Baltimore Orioles: 62-67 (5th) Boston is scoring 5.76 runs per game since the break. That is the best mark in all of baseball.   MLB Trade — Adley Rutschman from Baltimore to Boston On August 3, the trade deadline, the Baltimore Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox. Their AL East rival. The team chasing them in the standings. Rutschman was the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, a three-time All-Star, and the face of the Orioles' rebuild. He had one year left before free agency and had never signed an extension. Baltimore already had Samuel Basallo locked up for eight years at $67 million and posting 16 home runs this season. So they sold Rutschman while they still could. What Baltimore got back: Boston's No. 2 prospect (MLB Pipeline Top 50), plus three other top-5 org prospects, catcher Carlos Narvaez, and a player to be named later who turned out to be outfielder Harold Rivas. What Boston got: the best defensive catcher in baseball and an immediate upgrade at a position where they ranked last in MLB in home runs. The detail that makes this trade genuinely wild: Boston swept Baltimore in the series right before the deadline while Rutschman was out injured. The Red Sox were 23-3 since July 2. They were already the hottest team in baseball. Then they bought the franchise player from the team they just swept. Three days later.   This is our last episode of Season 6, we kick off season 7 in two weeks with an NFL preview and much more....  Subscribe and Leave a Review If you got something out of this episode, leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

This week, we are giving a second listen to our very special episode with Renee Montgomery. Montgomery is the vice president and part owner of the WNBA team the Atlanta Dream. Before owning the team, Montgomery was a WNBA player on teams including the Dream, Minnesota Lynx, and Connecticut Sun. Before that, she played division one college basketball at the University of Connecticut. After 11 years as a professional WNBA player, Montgomery opted out of the 2020 season to focus on social justice and activism before retiring from the WNBA in 2021. Shortly after retiring, Montgomery became the first former WNBA player to be an owner and vice president of a team. Today, Montgomery continues to serve as part owner and vice president of the Atlanta Dream and runs her own clothing brand, C Suite 21, and the media production company Think Tank Productions.

Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the WNBA publicly promoting a video that appeared to show Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers making a wager on the Atlanta Dream vs. Dallas Wings game. Rob argues that if the league does not suspend the players involved, it undermines the WNBA's credibility and sends the wrong message amid the gambling controversies that have recently impacted professional basketball. Kelvin believes the league is unlikely to take action because it openly promoted the video itself, effectively turning a blind eye to what many would view as a clear violation of league gambling policies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
