The WNBA finds itself in the middle of a controversy it clearly did not want. Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers were caught on video discussing a four-hundred-dollar wager, the league issued a statement, but chose not to discipline either player, and that decision is drawing serious heat from critics who say the league set a troubling precedent by looking the other way.
Shifting to the octagon, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier cannot stop making news even a decade removed from their legendary light heavyweight battles. Cormier is now pushing back hard on Jones's claim that the two had a private conversation where DC admitted he keeps their rivalry alive purely for the cameras. Cormier says flat out that conversation never happened, and the bad blood between these two shows absolutely no sign of cooling.
And over in fantasy baseball, with week twenty on the horizon, Bryson Stott and A.J. Ewing are names worth circling right now. CBS Sports has both flagged as top-ten sleeper hitters, with the Phillies sitting in a favorable stretch of matchups. If you need production at the plate down the stretch, these are the names your opponents are probably sleeping on.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
