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.
