Speaker 1: onto the pitch ahead of Chelsea's match against Arsenal truly

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,760

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Germa said, quote, there are a lot of things about

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Chelsea that made me want to come here. The culture,

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: the winning mentality, staff and players. It's a top environment

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: to learn and grow in.

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: End quote.

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Germa also thanked San Diego Wave in a post on

00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: Instagram for quote creating an environment that allowed me to

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: grow and reach my potential end quote more soccer News.

61
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: You already know that you can get into the ownership

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: game by joining the show and buying a slice of

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Aurora link in the show notes. If you

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: still haven't bought, but if any of your slices have

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: some big M money and want to get into the pros,

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: you can set your sites on the Houston Dash. Per Sportico,

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: Ted Siegal, owner of both the Dash and the Dynamo

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: of the MLS, has hired an investment bank to assess

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: investment options for the Dash. In a memo written to

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: staff and reviewed by Sportico, Siegel wrote, quote, given this

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: backdrop and the unprecedented levels of interest in the NWSL

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: from high quality investors, I believe now is the right

73
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: time to explore whether there are additional resources that we

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: can attract to help the Dash succeed well into the future.

75
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: End quote.

76
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Now it's worth noting the Dash of qualified for the

77
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: nwslayoffs just once since joining the league in twenty fourteen.

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: The team has also struggled with both player and coach turnover.

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: In the last two years, five different people have filled

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: the latter role, either on an interim or a so

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: called permanent basis, and Maria Sanchez, who signed one of

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: the biggest NWSL contracts of all time to join the

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Dash in twenty twenty three, requested a trade from the

84
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: club just a few months later. All that to say,

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: the quote unquote right time to explore additional resources and

86
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: invest in the brain trust and the player experience might

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: have been a few years ago, but either way, we're

88
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: here for it if it improves the Dash to college hoops.

89
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,160

00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: We got to take a quick break.

159
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: When we come back, the unrivaled call is coming from

160
00:07:52,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: inside the house. Welcome back, slices. We had a big

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: weekend of sports. A couple stories to dig into. First

162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: quick note on that LSU South Carolina game I mentioned

163
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: earlier Don Staley's squad getting the wind despite Kim Molki

164
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: trying to harness the power of the current planetary parade

165
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: with her celestial themed blazer. Anyway, after the game, Tiger

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: star Flage Johnson called out the DJ at Colonial Life

167
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Arena for playing the song cut Friends by rapper Camouflage

168
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: after the game Cocks win Now. Camouflage is Flage's father.

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: He was murdered in two thousand and three when her

170
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: mother was still pregnant with her She wrote quote, I'll

171
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: take my l on the chin, but this just nasty behavior.

172
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: None funny about that on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of

173
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: the DJ's Instagram, where after someone pointed out that playing

174
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: Camouflage at the end of the game was crazy. The

175
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: DJ replied my bad with a laughing face. The DJ

176
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: who goes by djto first responded by posting, quote, people

177
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: will find something to be mad about, just let them

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: end quote. But then she followed up with a statement

179
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: that said, in part quote, I apologize for playing cut

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: Friends instrumental at the game yesterday. It is never my

181
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: intent to disrespect anyone or offend anyone when my job

182
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: is to have fun and make sure other people have

183
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: a good time. She went on, I'm from the low

184
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: Country Seaport area, so I've been playing it for years,

185
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: even at other games, but I shouldn't have played it

186
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: at yesterday's game, and then said quote, I can't control

187
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: how anyone takes it, but I can take responsibility and

188
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: apologize end quote. Now that's a shit apology, and honestly,

189
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: it reads like she's blaming Flage and others for taking offense.

190
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: I can't control how anyone takes it. Well, how would

191
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: you take someone playing your murdered father's song right after

192
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: your team got beat and then doubling down with a

193
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: my bad and a laughing emoji.

194
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: Thankfully sc agreed with me in a statement.

195
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: South Carolina Athletics apologize to Flage and her family, and

196
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: Djto has been suspended for a game, though I'd argue

197
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: she deserves a much longer break. Speaking to South Carolina,

198
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: they take on number seventeen Tennessee tonight and Lady Vols

199
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: coach Kim Caldwell plans to coach despite having her first

200
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: baby exactly one week ago Monday, a boy named Connor

201
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Scott all while she was battling the flu. Now, Caldwell

202
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Mister teams lost to Texas on Thursday night, but she

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: was back in practice on Friday.

204
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: Now.

205
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: Props to the new mama if coaching today is what

206
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: she wants, get after it, but no judgment for her

207
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: or anyone that needs more time than that. Sticking with Hoops,

208
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we gave you a Hoops

209
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: and Gay Shit update, but we've got a good one

210
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: for you now. I don't know if this is for

211
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: sure true, but using previous Hoops and Gay Shit knowledge

212
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: and some context clues, we're thinking that Melissa Smith was

213
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: crashing with girlfriend Dja Carrington in Miami for the duration

214
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: of the Unrivaled season, and then when the myst realized

215
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: that injuries had their roster short a couple players. They

216
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: just looked in house for a replacement. Literally, like in

217
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: Djana's house. Old girl was there ready to play faster

218
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: than you could say, Delissa or Najane.

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: What we got to figure out their ship name y'all?

220
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Only in women's sports, right, I've never heard of a

221
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: men's pro player shacking up with his boo and getting

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: the call to suit up when injury struck. Hopefully one

223
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: day I will, though, And if I do, that honestly

224
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't be much crazier than hearing a remix of Kia's

225
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: My Neck, My Back in a Dove ad on national television.

226
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: But folks, that is a reality in the year twenty

227
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: twenty five.

228
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: Now, if you haven't been watching Unrivaled or college hoops,

229
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: you might not have caud yet, but this ad is

230
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: basically the new ubiquitous commercial during women's basketball broadcasts. The

231
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: original song, in case you don't remember or your Misha's age,

232
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: was this naughty little tune with a very memorable chorus.

233
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: If you have kids in the car, ear Muff's time,

234
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: got it okay? That memorable chorus was my neck, my back,

235
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: lick my pussym my crack Now Dove's version is my neck,

236
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: my back, my legs and pits all that my neck,

237
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: my back, your thighs will be intact, which really doesn't

238
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: make any sense, but anyway, you get the picture. I

239
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: never thought i'd see the day, honestly, like, what's next,

240
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: mister Peanuts sing and give me that nut and a

241
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: Planter's ad. Now, I love peanuts, and Peanuts love me.

242
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it anyway. If you're looking for

243
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: a more family friendly story, I do have one. Over

244
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the weekend, a pair of sisters met in the Australian

245
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: Open Junior Doubles girls draw and they were even wearing

246
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: matching fits.

247
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: This was awesome.

248
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: Twin Americans ann again Christina Pennicova faced off against Czech

249
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: sisters Elena and Yanikovakova, with the twins advancing and going

250
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: on to win the title. And for more sister sister fun,

251
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: you could check out Keith Jenkins ESPN story on sisters

252
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: in college hoops.

253
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: We'll link to that in the show notes.

254
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: All right, so we mentioned earlier in the show that

255
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: American Chloe Kim won her eighth X Game snowboard halfpipe

256
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: title to break her tie with Kelly Clark for the

257
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: most women's half pipe titles in X Game's history, and

258
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: that brings us to the latest edition of Yes and

259
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: So a little context on what it means for Chloe

260
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Kim to break Kelly Clark's record. Back in twenty fourteen,

261
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Chloe mathematically qualified for the US Olympic team, but at

262
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: age thirteen, she was too young to compete at the Games,

263
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: so Kelly and company went to Russia while Chloe stayed home.

264
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: One year later, Chloe won her first X Games title

265
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: at age fourteen, and in doing so, she ended Kelly's

266
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: four year wind streak. Kelly finished second and was nothing

267
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: but a good sport celebrating Chloe's accomplishment and sport progressing

268
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: tricks with the media. And no exaggeration here, but Kelly

269
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: was literally twice Chloe's age thirty one and.

270
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: Fifteen at the time.

271
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: But here they were two women were I guess technically

272
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: one woman and one teenager pushing their sport forward at

273
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: the same time. And there's actually a pretty famous story

274
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: about how the two first met. So when Chloe was

275
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: eight years old, she was riding at Mammoth Mountain in

276
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: California when she saw Kelly waiting in the lift line.

277
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Chloe tugged on the sleeve of Kelly's jacket to get

278
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: her attention and asked if she could ride up with her.

279
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: Kelly obliged, and as the story goes, they did a

280
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: few runs together. Kelly went on to become a mentor

281
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: of Chloe's. They trained together in California for years, and

282
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, Chloe, seventeen, was finally old enough to

283
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: compete at the Olympics. Kelly, then thirty four, made the

284
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: team too, becoming one of the first American women to

285
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: compete at five Winter Olympics. Chloe went on to win gold,

286
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: while Kelly finished just off the podium in fourth. And

287
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: while finishing fourth at the Olympics normally means going home

288
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: empty handed, that wasn't the case this time around. That's

289
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: because the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee has something called

290
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: the Order of eCos Award. Each US athlete who wins

291
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: a medal is able to bestow the honor on someone

292
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: who helped them reach the Olympic podium. Now, most athletes

293
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: pick their coach, but in twenty eighteen, Chloe picked Kelly.

294
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: It was just the second time that an athlete chose

295
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: to award the Order of eCos to a fellow athlete.

296
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: Asked about her decision, Chloe said, of Kelly quote, she

297
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: really took me under her wing, has guided me through

298
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: every possible situation, good and bad, and I'm so happy

299
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: to call her my friend.

300
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: End quote. So yes to Chloe Kim and to Kelly Clark.

301
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: Love that story.

302
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of yes, ending a slice is saying yes to

303
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: new teams and trying to figure out how to keep

304
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: track of all of them. Megan Werner wrote us and said,

305
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: in part quote, how to keep track of all my teams?

306
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm loving following all my new teams lately, Minnesota, Frost,

307
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Lunar Owls, Love Madison. Do any of you know how

308
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: a league gets to be one of the options at

309
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: ESPN's scores section of the app. I can find snooker, chess,

310
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: and badminton, among other obscure sports, but no PWHL for example.

311
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know the criteria. Do leagues and governing

312
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: bodies pay for it? Is it based on ESPN's perceived interest?

313
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: Do these new leagues want fans going to their own

314
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: sites to follow results instead?

315
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: Would be nice if.

316
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: I could check on my new teams in similar ways

317
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: that I check on my hapless men's teams.

318
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: End quote.

319
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So, per my friends at ESPN who have been

320
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: working to push for more women's sports content for a while,

321
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: it's not a simple ad. So one of them tried

322
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: to tackle the issue right when she got to the company.

323
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: And apparently it's a manual process to add a new league,

324
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: and it scores, schedule stats, etc. So it's a pretty

325
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: big technological lift and if not up to anyone person

326
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: to decide which leagues make the cut, it's part of

327
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: a larger product roadmap and bandwidth decision. Also, producer Alex

328
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: says that when she worked at The Messenger, she was

329
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: involved in some convos about how to get a ticker

330
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: added to the site, and even though women's sports were

331
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: a priority, none of the sports data companies that sold

332
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: the packages included women's leagues. Right now, ESPN is also

333
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: working on rolling out its big direct to consumer streaming

334
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: service called Flagship, So my guess is that the focus

335
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: and the resources are going to be on that right now.

336
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: In the meantime, though, you could check out an app

337
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: called flash Score. It's producer Alex's favorite. The company that

338
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: makes it is based in Prague, so most Americans haven't

339
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: heard of it, but it's got almost every league on it.

340
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: Unrivaled hasn't been added just yet, but Love and the

341
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: PWHL are both on it, so it's only a matter

342
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: of time before Rivaled joins too. Plus if you make

343
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: it account, you could favorite your teams and you can

344
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: get alerts about scores and upcoming games. Thanks for the question.

345
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: We agree that we would love to be able to

346
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: track all of our teams in one spot. Speaking of

347
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Unrivaled and data across the timeline known for keeping track

348
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: of women's hoop stats, just added Unrivaled this weekend, so

349
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: now you could find all the Unrivaled data there along

350
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: with everything else. We love that you're listening, but we

351
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,640

Speaker 2: the night, and this is true.
