I'd like to thank Marie Diaz for posting Samarie Walker's comments about her mental health and about Maya Moore. Significantly, more and more is coming out (think Naomi Osaka) about the fact that athletes are human and subject to mental health problems as well as physical injuries and ailments...

Great job. One thing to note: It's Azzi, with two z's.

Argonaut, thanks for posting. Powerful and shocking stuff.

While I'm certainly no expert on the finances of the NBA and the WNBA, it seems to me that I recall that within my lifetime (I'm 73), the NBA was a relatively minor league (along with the NFL, believe it or not) in the 1950s as opposed to say MLB which was considered the "national pastime." In...

Wow, wasn't that a dramatic surprise!

Great video. Listening to Geno is unlike listening to any other sports coach I've ever heard. Listening to him talk about his team, himself, or any other subject is always an experience and there's certainly that unique Geno sense of humor at the base of his comments.

Oh, I understand that there are producers, and if they told Adam Amin, Kara Lawson, and Rebecca Lobo, to pretty much ignore the game and chat about everything else, then the blame goes beyond the TV announcers. But I suspect that wasn't quite the case.

What play by play? As I recall, it was almost all gabbing and little or no attention to what was going on on the court.

In addition to sources mentioned by others, the WatchESPN app is also available via an AppleTV (a device sold by Apple). It plugs it into your TV via an HDMI cable. WatchESPN is an available app and I've watched several games via the Apple TV on ESPN3, especially non-UConn games. However, for...

Let's see, she announced upon committing to UNC that she was happy going there because she was going to play the game her way. Then she leaves UNC after one year, and now leaves UT after three years (one sitting out) and after announcing that she was going to play next year to provide guidance...

Dodgers draft RHP Wills Montgomerie in 6th round UConn pitcher Wills Montgomerie drafted in the sixth round of today's MLB draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers. I couldn't resist noting this.

There's nothing new about UConn not updating its roster (and schedule) until just before the season. And it extends to professionals too. Last I looked (too late to check now), the WNBA teams don't update their online rosters until almost the beginning of their season.

If Rocky's link doesn't work, change "UConn" where it appears twice in the link to lower case "uconn." I tried to post a corrected link but it keeps coming out "UConn" and that doesn't get you to the article.

The ESPN 3 schedule showing the UConn/Tulsa game scheduled for 2:00 EST: Watch Live Sports Events and ESPN Programs Online and on Mobile Applications - WatchESPN

From the article: "None of today’s games or Saturday’s games, including the Huskies’ quarterfinal matchup against the winner of today’s 4 p.m. game between No. 8 Memphis and No. 9 Tulsa, will be televised." Funny, here I am in New Mexico and I saw the first two of the three games played in the...

We're very excited because Megan Walker comes from Monacan, a town just west of my wife's hometown of Richmond, VA. Now maybe we can get my wife's relatives in Richmond to become fans of the Huskies.

They have, for the most part, been quite forgettable though. Can't even make up their minds about their name: Los Angeles Angels, Anaheim Angels, California Angels, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Just who are those guys?

Since when has money not been the bottom line in virtually any for-profit business? Which reminds me of one more thought. In the early to mid-1950s, the neighborhood around Ebbets Field was going downhill. While attendance was not dropping precipitously, it was fairly stagnant (ranging between...

The Dodgers moved to LA after the 1957 season. I was 12 (born in Brooklyn but raised in the Bronx) and living near Yankee Stadium and hating the Yankees. But I had been to LA twice in the 1950s (my grandmother lived in Pacific Ocean Park) and the guys who moved west were still Hodges, Furillo...

Many years ago, I listened to the Knicks on the radio (probably the 1960s). Can't remember the announcer's name, but he used to make every outside shot sound like the player had thrown a line drive into the basket. I think the term he used for the ball going in was "Swoosh." Watching Chantel...

I wonder what Alexander von Humboldt would have made of all this.

Kaleena looks great in that Seattle uniform. And I have a strange feeling that in a few weeks she's going to have a new teammate with the most famous "wing span" in women's basketball history.

This is certainly an issue I've thought about a lot since I started following the Huskies, especially in their super years (like the last four). I get a lot of ribbing from family members who think women's basketball is something of a joke, especially when UConn seems to continually win by...

I'll just add to the collection. Here in New Mexico, it's also not listed on the DirecTV schedule at 3:00 MT (which obviously is 5:00 ET). Same thing. Crossfit Games are listed. However, I did check ESPN 3 on WatchESPN on my Apple TV and it's definitely listed there for 3:00 MT. It'll be...

And following the LSU game, these observations and concerns: Stewart's ankle, Gabby gets thrown to the floor, Chong is still out, and Butler wasn't even in uniform. On the other hand, Collier continues to look fabulous, Ekmark hit a three and had six points, and KLS scored 14.

I occasionally watch games on WatchESPN but on a television screen via my Apple TV (the current version). Although I remember problems in the past, I haven't noticed any significant problems this season. Just the other day I watched the replay of Tennessee vs. Stanford without any technical...

Just like tomcat, I'm a little too far from Storrs (in my case about 2,000 miles). When I lived in Stamford, I thought that was too far from Storrs!! But I watch every game and will be watching on Saturday. Too bad the teams can't be aware of the fans watching on TV and enjoying the game...

As pointed out in an earlier post(s), UConn games are likely to be broadcast on ESPN3. I know today's Kansas State game is definitely on. I have the latest Apple TV which includes WatchESPN, making it easy to view ESPN3. So today at least I know I can watch UConn and KS on either SNY or ESPN3.

Here in the Albuquerque area, I have Directv's sports package in order to get SNY so that I can see the UConn games. But as a baseball fan (Dodgers, obviously), I also need the sports package in order to see the games when the Dodgers play the Rockies (who are otherwise blacked out on MLB Extra...

I saw that McGuff admitted that he was "outcoached." Outcoached? OSU played more like a high school team than one that is nationally ranked in the top 10. At times, the OSU players looked completely disorganized and if it weren't for Shayla Cooper, the score might have been even more...

Oh, I didn't mind not hearing what they were saying. I'm more curious about why ESPN has such mediocre sound equipment. I can't believe, in this day and age, they can't have better microphones for their announcers that emphasize the sound of the voice over the background noise.

I'm not sure anyone noticed, but Saniya Chong played for three minutes in the game. I was surprised to see her. Obviously, her injury can't be that bad. Also, I have a question for those who saw the game. I've noticed that when ESPN covers the games, their sound can be awful. I could...

Fantastic. Thanks, Danny, for all your amazing photos and videos.

When I moved to New Mexico from Connecticut, I signed up with DirecTV simply because it has a sports package with SNY. I haven't had any complaints and just hope that the Huskies remain on SNY. Combined with broadcasts on ESPN, CBS Sports, etc., I've seen every UConn Huskies game since I moved...
