But at #6, the Lynx wanted someone who could contribute right away. |
Good luck with that.

Shades & I aren't the same person and Prahalis hadn't already proven to be one of the league's best players and the Mercury getting rid of her didn't guarantee another team would win several more titles before they ever win again.

Here is my belief [on starting lineup]: Fowles and Dantas at center and power forward, respectively. Napheesa Collier at small forward. Zandalasini at off guard and Odyssey Sims as the primary ball-handler.
Yes, Sims.
There has been a lot of talk about her not playing this year. But the Lynx remain convinced she will be on the team when things get going. |
Hmm... I guess that means she’s fairly far along? |
I am outraged because if men could get pregnant and an NBA player supposedly was pregnant we'd know everything about his, and whatever is growing inside of him's, status, or if it was just made up rumors, and not have to guess.
If Sims is playing right away and Zandalasini is a starter, what was the purpose of trading (even if it cost nothing) for Shenise Johnson when already acquired Banham? Where are the Lexie Brown minutes going to come from then?! Or was Reeve so impressed by Shenise Johnson's performance against the Lynx in 2015 she wanted to have the privilede of personally handing her checks?
Then that means Erica Ogwumike 100% won't make the team. Nothing good can happen to the Lynx by acquring an Ogwumike just to cut. Now the Lynx will probably never beat the Sparks again!

In other sports, fans are usually hate their team's coach/GM/whoever for doing stupid things (if the goal is winning) and complain about them forever, like the Timberwolves not drafting Stephen Curry, the Bears drafting the wrong quarterback, or when Reeve announced that either she is one of the worst coaches in WNBA history and/or she'd rather see the Seattle Storm win at least 5 or 6 titles and be known as the only dynasty in WNBA history besides the Comets, (rather than Lynx), by making, what was obvious at the time, and proved to be, the most lopsided trade in the history of the WNBA, if not all of sports.

Court affirms ruling vacating man’s convictions
https://molawyersmedia.com/2020/05/06/court-affirms-ruling-vacating-mans-convictions/
Quote: |
A Missouri appeals court has upheld a lower-court decision vacating the convictions of a man whose 1997 robbery case has received national attention, thanks to the advocacy of a WNBA player. On April 28, a three-judge panel of the Western District Court of Appeals sided with Jonathan H. Irons, who was 16 when he was accused |

Thanks. I guess he is still on the hook if the DA wants to retry the case - but they have to decided to do so by tomorrow. Seems like it would be rather foolish, since the finger prints can't be used and the alleged witness to the the "confession" is dead (and it seems never testified in the first trial). But DA's can be very stubborn so who knows.

Yeah, appealing the ruling involved filling out some briefs and making a filing. It was not exactly a huge burden as far as time or resources go for the prosecutor's office.
Retrying the case would involve a significantly bigger commitment. Not to mention the media attention a retrial would almost certainly bring, which would make a loss embarrassing for the prosecutor. So unless that prosecutor is certain he can get a conviction (which seems highly improbable based on the previous ones being overturned for lack of evidence), he will in all likelihood decline to recharge.

I wonder if Missouri is concerned about civil liabilities stemming from an overturned case considering he’s been in jail for the majority of his life.

Typically you only are on the hook for liability if you prove prosecutorial misconduct (or police misconduct if it was on that side).
Some states have passed laws where they will automatically compensate for people found wrongfully convicted, but, by and large, jury verdicts are considered due process served even if they "got it wrong" in hindsight.

I wonder if she'd be ready to play if the league starts up by August 1?

Would she be eligible for pregnancy leave? If so, why play when you get paid in full?

Come to think of it babies are high maintenance. Might want some social distance.

Yes, under the new CBA if you're unable to play as a result of pregnancy you get paid in full for as long as that is the case. It's a rare bit of the agreement that actually feels PR-influenced, because there's no qualification at all on what 'A player who cannot render the services required under her Standard Player Contract as a result of her pregnancy' specifically means. If you're out, and it's due to pregnancy, you get paid until the contract runs out. |
