WNBA sex toy incidents may be linked to cryptocurrency group’s money scheme The group's coin was created the day before the first incident, and as of Thursday, its worth had nearly tripled in one week.

🏀 What's up with the sale of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun? Commissioner Cathy Engelbert seems to be dropping hints that she'd prefer the Sun move to Houston, not Boston.

Is the @wnba.com commissioner trying to intervene in the sale of the Connecticut Sun? It seems like it, based on reporting from @frontofficesports.bsky.social.

I wrote about the hints dropped. It seems the WNBA wants a team in Houston before Boston.

Roman Anthony is aware there's a chance he doesn't max out his career earnings with the deal. He doesn't care. He got everything he wanted from this deal. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/08/s...

Jalen Hurts’ improbable path to Super Bowl MVP removes any doubt that the Eagles ‘have the quarterback’ Jalen Hurts channeled his father after Super Bowl LIX and said that his journey to this level of success was "not normal." An MVP performance led the usually stoic quarterback to take in the moment.

If you read one thing about the Eagles this morning, read this from @ej-smith.bsky.social www.inquirer.com/eagles/jalen...

This week ESPN launched a new feature on its app — an option to get real-time alerts from news breakers like Schefter, Shams, and Passan.

It makes incredible sense from ESPN’s perspective to eliminate the middleman (in this case, Twitter) and keep fans on their app. I love it. And it’s fast!

Court documents reveal White Stadium delays could put that in jeopardy. - The Boston Globe A hearing on the motion from the Emerald Necklace Conservancy-led plaintiffs to push back a March 18 jury trial is scheduled for Tuesday at Suffolk Superior Court.

Will the @nwslsoccer.com's BOS Nation be ready to play in 2026? According to court documents, maybe not.

Lawsuits brought against the project to rebuild White Stadium are slowing down the process considerably.
