Napheesa Comes for Cathy, the NFL’s Turf Curse, and Micah Parsons Plays His Ex

Listen Later

Napheesa Collier went scorched earth. In her season exit interview, she publicly called out Cathy Engelbert and WNBA leadership for their lack of accountability around some of the most pressing issues facing players. Blake and Caroline break down the WNBA drama from last week, starting with Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve’s $15,000 fine and suspension to Collier’s mic-drop moment. With the CBA deadline coming up at the end of the month, time will tell how her statement will affect negotiations – and the future of the league. 


In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: 

  • Why Odell Beckham Jr. called MetLife “DeathLife” after Malik Nabers’ ACL tear
  • A passionate monologue from Caroline on why ties need to be banned in pro-sports
  • Micah Parson’s feelings about his non-refundable field-level suite at Cowboys stadium
  • Team Europe’s reaction to the harassment Rory McIlroy’s wife faced at the Ryder Cup

    • Smelling salts: Y/N (Aaron Rodgers says yes)
