Podcasts about Napheesa Collier

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand for a look back on the weekend in sports. The Twins won Sunday after losing three straight to Detroit as we approach the dog days of a lost season. Will there be any shakeups after the year now that we know the Pohlad family is keeping the team? The Vikings' backup QB situation is a mess, which is good for former Gophers QB Max Brosmer. He has a real chance to make the team. Plus the Lynx keep on winning without Napheesa Collier.

For this Fan Out Friday, Khristina is joined by Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve to break down the team’s dominant run to the top of the WNBA standings and becoming the first team to clinch a playoff spot. They dive into Napheesa Collier’s MVP-caliber season, the rise of the Studbudz duo of Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman and their growing impact on the team, the addition of Dijonai Carrington at the trade deadline, and the real story behind Diana Taurasi’s absence from the 2024 Olympic gold medal game.

In this episode, we're joined by Mitchell Hansen — founder of Hitting the Hardwood and Lynx reporter for Canis Hoopus — to break down the scorching start of the Minnesota Lynx, their quest for revenge after last season's heartbreak, and why Napheesa Collier may be the most underrated MVP candidate in the WNBA. We dive deep into: The Lynx's elite defense turning into dominant offense How Cheryl Reeve compares to Gregg Popovich Why Napheesa Collier deserves more love from the media Fan culture in Minnesota vs. other WNBA cities The looming WNBA CBA & the role of Unrivaled Whether you're a die-hard Lynx fan or a casual WNBA follower, this episode gives you an inside look at one of the most compelling stories of the 2025 season.

It is rare that a journalist can speak to the growth of the WNBA not just from the perspective of coverage, but from its very conception.Christine Brennan began her career as a sports journalist by breaking barriers. After receiving her master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, she became the first female sports reporter for the Miami Herald in 1981.While working for the Washington Post in 1985, she broke the NFL's gender barrier and began covering the Washington Football team—almost three decades before the franchise dropped its racially insensitive name and became the Commanders."There were moments when people did not want me around," Brennan recalls. "Even the coach, Joe Gibbs."Brennan says Gibbs did not believe a woman should be in the locker room. "This was '85 and the NFL was the last of the big leagues to have an equal access policy."Eventually, her professionalism turned the tide, even winning over Coach Gibbs—begrudgingly. Brennan recalls Gibbs saying, "I personally don't believe it's right, but I've been told we're doing it. So we will do it. She will be treated right, and that's the end of the conversation."Since then, Brennan has covered countless athletes and events, including Tiger Woods, Venus and Serena Williams, and multiple Olympic Games.While her comprehensive sports coverage is impressive, it is her reporting on the WNBA since its infancy that gives her a unique perspective on the league's evolution.She covered foundational players like Sheryl Swoopes and Cynthia Cooper as they helped establish the league as legitimate and highly competitive. Legends like Lisa Leslie, Maya Moore, and Candace Parker paved the way for today's stars like Napheesa Collier and A'ja Wilson, who have set the benchmark for excellence in the league.Yet without winning a single championship in college and without a single playoff appearance so far, the name most synonymous with the WNBA right now is Caitlin Clark.From her long-shot three-pointers to buzzer-beaters in college, Clark became a fan favorite. But she also became a flashpoint for racists and homophobic fans to share their ideals. Clark is the star who has ushered in sold-out arenas, lucrative TV deals, and higher endorsements across the league. A white player from middle America has walked into the house built by Black women and captured mainstream attention in unprecedented ways.In her new book "Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports," Brennan asks poignant questions about race, recognition, and the complexities of the WNBA's newfound popularity.The central question she explores: If everything about Clark's game remained the same but she was Black, would she receive the same level of mainstream attention and endorsement opportunities?The resounding answer is no — but she sees this moment as growing pains for a promising WNBA future rather than an insurmountable problem.In this episode of the Jackie Rae Show, Brennan discusses her groundbreaking career, the role of race in sports coverage, and what the WNBA could have done better to protect its players during this period of explosive growth.

The same could be said about the latest podcast as I get set to launch another hour of sports talk to keep you entertained and informed on all that's happening. On deck: (6:36) If you want to hear a recap of all the big trades from the MLB deadline, I make a note of where you can listen to it. (Link is below) What has happened to the Yankees as they were inexplicably swept in Miami. Who's to blame? On the flip side, are the Marlins in consideration for the NL Wild Card race as they're at .500 and are among the best records in the sport since mid June? I'll briefly recap the big deals at the trade deadline and see where we're at in the divisional and wild card standings as August has arrived. (39:07) Micah Parsons wants out of Dallas, but Jerry Jones is saying “not so fast”. Terry McLaurin also wants a new address in DC, but will the Commanders pull the trigger on a deal? NOTE: Unfortunately, I didn't mention the two key deadline deals in MLB that took place on Thursday. I get into it right after the NFL segment. My apologies for the delay. (48:49) Luka Doncic signs an extension with the Lakers. He's ready to put up a big year in LA with a new physique in tact. Will he first full year in La La Land culminate in a Finals appearance? Mikal Bridges also gets an extension with the Knicks. Will he produce as they make a push in a wide open Eastern Conference? (57:28) Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier suffers an ankle injury in a blowout win over Las Vegas, but reinforcements are on the way after acquiring last year's Most Improved Player from Dallas. I'll go around the W to tap in to see what the latest is on that front. And MUCH MORE in between.

Family and All Stars tops this episode. After a great time with the family this weekend, the GURU took some time to chill out with the cousins in Philly. What a time for all stars. We had the first ever Swing Off in the MLB All Star game. We also seen the future of the game with the automatic robot strike zone. The changes in baseball are great but I still like to see a umpire behind the plate. Give it up for the WNBA All Star game as well. Skylar Diggins, the first player in league history to record a triple-double. Napheesa Collier scored 36 points, the most in All Star history to lead her team over Team Clark 151-131. The evening was lead by all players wearing the "Pay Me What You Owe Me" t-shirt. The GURU agrees with them. This league has grown and now they should be treated with equally and respect.
