The Los Angeles Sparks sit at 15-25, headed for a sixth straight season without a playoff appearance, and Hoopsology brings in Sparks beat writer John W. Davis (Southern California News Group) for an unflinching look at how a franchise with every natural advantage in the league ended up here. John walks through the organizational chaos that's defined this stretch: four different head coaches since the drought began (Derek Fisher, interim Fred Williams, Curt Miller, and now Lynne Roberts), a revolving door of roster gambles that never got the runway to work, and a front office that kept trading the future for a present that never materialized — including dealing what became Dominique Malonga for Kelsey Plum after landing back-to-back No. 2 picks. He traces the fall from the Sparks' actual championship-caliber core of Candace Parker, Chelsea Gray, and Nneka Ogwumike, and explains why this season's collapse specifically comes down to one moment: Kelsey Plum, playing like a legitimate top-five player in the league, going down with an injury that the team simply had no answer for.

Is it really a new era for All Elite Wrestling?! Is it also on a new level?!
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

Jean's back from moving her daughter to college, and Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports show also joined us just after 8am to talk about the final few weeks of the Brewers regular season and the start of the Packers & Badgers seasons. In the news today, Lionel Richie is in the hospital, a recall on pet food, a bunch of stolen PBR, Hee Haw the donkey gets killed, Tupac's killer is convicted, a bunch of sewage spills into the Arkansas river, an update on the flooding in the Grand Canyon, and the lawyer for D4vd quits. In sports, the Brewers get shellacked by the Cubs last night, Lionel Messi retires from International competition, Tennessee football will wear a Dolly Parton sticker on their helmets this season, LSU is waiting for a court hearing on Thursday, and a TCU player suffers severe injuries after getting sucker-punched in the locker room. We talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. Mel Gibson's back in the news for mocking an ASL interpreter. Great story about a pizza shop owner who's trying to feed anyone who's hungry after seeing a woman eating out of the trash, and a WWII Veteran celebrates his 101st birthday by skydiving! Elsewhere in sports, USC responds to the light crowd at their season opener last weekend, Kelsey Plum is done for the season, Ryan Clark gets a new gig after losing his job at ESPN, fake football players are apparently a "thing", and a youth football coach tried to fight EVERYONE at a game. Today's September 1st, so we took a peek at some things to look forward to in the coming month...including movies, TV shows, sports, and holidays. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who stole a car and drove directly to jail while being chased by the cops, a possible ban on walking & texting in Italy, a dude in the UK who had some trouble throwing drugs into a prison, a guy at a Subway who got pissed when they tried to charge him extra for toasting his sammich, and a lawsuit in Colorado claims that chronic understaffing at Dollar Tree stores has made the stores a "hunting ground" for public masturbators.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan breaks down how Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark single-handedly transformed the WNBA into a mainstream powerhouse, driving unprecedented ratings, arena sellouts, and league-wide attention and growth. Yet despite this historic sports business boom, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, Minnesota Lynx Coach Cheryl Reeve, WNBA legend Kelsey Plum, and many more continue to minimize her impact and push back, including her own coach Stephanie White. Instead of capitalizing on a golden era, WNBA leadership is actively sabotaging the greatest business miracle in sports history out of pure ego.

Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think). Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career. The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like. Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.

Listen to our new episode as we break down one of the biggest MLB moves of the season with Tarik Skubal being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. We discuss what the blockbuster deal means for the Dodgers' quest for another World Series, how Detroit's future changes after moving its ace, and who ultimately came out on top in one of baseball's most talked-about trades. We also dive into the latest WNBA headlines, including the blockbuster trade involving Kelsey Plum and what her move means for both franchises as the playoff race heats up. Plus, we discuss DiJonai Carrington's return to the court, the impact she can have on her team down the stretch, and what fans should expect from her the rest of the season. To close out the show, we shift to fantasy football and debate who deserves to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's drafts.
