LA Sparks vs Minnesota Lynx 6/14/25 WNBA Pick to Wager by Rodd Zawacky

The Minnesota Lynx suffered their first loss of the season, struggling with defensive lapses and a lack of depth against a red-hot Seattle Storm team. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Aces not only dropped a tough game to the Sparks but also lost A'ja Wilson to injury, a potentially major blow. On the bright side for Los Angeles, Rickea Jackson is regaining her rhythm and making a growing impact. Paige Bueckers showed star potential in a breakout performance for the Wings, despite another team loss. And in Phoenix, the Mercury are finally getting healthy and beginning to click at just the right time. We put a 3v3 team together today with Jamie Steyer Johnson, Brittany Carper, and Richard Cohen giving you their insights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The proposal to ban the Philadelphia Eagles' "tush push" play doesn't pass during the NFL owners meeting. Live from the Battle Born Broadcast Center, CEO of The Sporting Tribune Arash Markazi joins Cofield & Company to discuss the closure of ESPN's Los Angeles SportsCenter, recap the Los Angeles Sparks' 75-89 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, and give his thoughts on the NFL approving players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Olympics. The Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named the 2024 NBA MVP. Sports writer and broadcaster, Ryan McKinnell joins Cofield & Co. to preview the New York Knicks' Game 1 match up against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, review the gate-keeping mentality of the WNBA, and give his thoughts on the reports that detailed Caleb Williams' efforts to avoid being drafted by the Chicago Bears before the 2024 NFL Draft.

The WNBA kicked off its new season last week with beauty brands lining up to gain access to the league's growing cohort of fans.  In a gold rush that started around 2020, some of the industry's top brands have entered into multi-year sponsorships with the league or its top players. The most recent, Fenty's sponsorship of the New York Liberty, was announced earlier this month and kicked off on Saturday's home game opener with several activations including a "Gloss Bomb glam cam" where fans show off their beauty look.  The NY Liberty, a top team in the league, has also received sponsorships from L'Oréal-owned brands Essie nail polish and NYX color cosmetics. Meanwhile, Amorepacific-owned Laneige became the Phoenix Mercury's official sponsor last year, mass hair-care brand Odele Beauty sponsors the Minnesota Lynx, and Glossier has been a league sponsor since 2020.  What's more, Youth To The People has partnered with the Seattle Storm, and L'Oréal-owned Urban Decay was the official L.A. Sparks sponsor for two seasons. Plus, the Chicago Sky has partnerships with Covergirl, Olay and hair-care band Jamaican Mango and Lime. But perhaps one of the biggest deals is Sephora's sponsorship of the league's newest team, San Francisco's Golden State Valkyries, who will now play at the newly-renamed "Sephora Performance Center" in Oakland. And this is just a snapshot of the WNBA deals Glossy is tracking.  “There was limited broadcast for women's sports [a few years ago], and now we have record-breaking viewership, which has been just absolutely amazing,” said Jacki Gemelos, a former WNBA player and coach turned sports agent. “Major brands rarely built campaigns around female athletes. And now athletes like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Alex Morgan and Simone Biles, just to name a few, are leading campaigns and not just being included.”  As previously reported by Glossy, attention from the beauty industry aligns with a sharp rise in WNBA audience attention. Viewership on ESPN was up 155% last season and, within this, viewership among people aged 18–34 rose by 164% and viewership among women increased by 165% year-over-year.  Glossy welcomed Gemelos to the podcast to discuss this change and provide context and advice for beauty execs looking to join in on the action. She provides context as to different types of deals, including the average costs and what makes a deal authentic. Gemelos is a lifelong basketball player who spent more than a decade playing professionally overseas and in the WNBA for the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun. She was an assistant coach for the NY Liberty before joining Nike as an athlete community coordinator. Today, she's an agent at prestigious boutique firm Disrupt the Game, where she oversees deals for a roster of top talent.  In today's episode, Gemelos discusses everything beauty execs need to know about this cultural shift. But first, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner discuss the top headlines of the week. This includes QVC's foray into 24/7 social commerce selling through TikTok Shop, plus a bird's eye view on how the beauty industry did in the first quarter of the year, according to a new report from Circana market research company. 

Eben Novy-Williams, Sportico's deputy editor and co-host of the Sporticast podcast, joins Sarah to discuss his reporting on the potential sale and relocation of the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun, how pro sports team valuations are calculated, and why the WNBA’s unique ownership structure affects investment and expansion. Plus, French stars say “non” to EuroBasket, a salute to the start of our show side’s season, and one last, long mute.
