The career of Chelsea Handler has experienced a rapid decline since her peak of popularity in the late-2000s. In a recent interview with Variety Magazine...Chelsea Handler essentially begged for another opportunity in late-night television. We react to Variety Magazine's interview of Chelsea Handler. We compare her consistent failures to Bomani Jones...and question why both continue to be given opportunities in the mainstream media. We also explain why Chelsea Handler would fail if given another opportunity in television.

ESPN is supposedly dedicated to the WNBA. ESPN is the home of the WNBA...and is supposed to air coverage of the WNBA each week. However...throughout the month of July ESPN has a four-week gap of WNBA coverage. We explain the reason...by comparing NBA Summer League ratings to WNBA ratings on ESPN and NBA TV. We discuss why ESPN doesn't truly value their partnership with the WNBA...and how they continue bumping the WNBA to cover other events.

The University of Penn proudly announced they were nominating Lia Thomas for NCAA Woman of the Year. This announcement was met with widespread praise throughout the mainstream media. We react to the University of Penn nominating Lia Thomas for an award meant for women. We discuss how Lia Thomas has already stolen NCAA Championships from women who deserved that opportunity. We also explain why Lia Thomas is the favorite to win NCAA Woman of the Year.

The English women's national team dominated Norway earlier this week. With an 8-0 victory...you would figure Eilidh Barbour and BBC would push positive coverage of the English women's team. Unfortunately...the exact opposite happened. We reveal and react to the coverage of Eilidh Barbour of the English women's national team. We discuss an incident that happened last month at the Scottish Football Writer's Association dinner...where Eilidh Barbour expressed fake outrage over jokes. We explain how Eilidh Barbour is another example of members of the mainstream media...creating a problem that doesn't exist.

USA Today published an article this week...claiming between women's college basketball the WNBA and the NWSL...they could combine for a billion-dollar boon in TV rights. All three have rights deals expiring in the coming years...and will be renegotiating with television networks for increases in fees. We question how USA Today came up with this figure. We compare the WNBA and NWSL to the NHL and Major League Soccer. We analyze their broadcast rights and ratings...and compare to the WNBA and NWSL. We explain how few programs are worth a billion dollars on television...and question how the WNBA and NWSL could come close to commanding that kind of money.

After years of being relentlessly attacked by the woke media...Victoria's Secret announced last summer they were taking the company in a more inclusive direction. July 2021...Victoria's Secret announced Megan Rapinoe would be the face of their new VS Collective. We look back at the history and the last twelve months of Victoria's Secret. We discuss how their new inclusive strategy and alliance with Megan Rapinoe has dropped their stock price 34%. We question why major corporations continue to align themselves with Megan Rapinoe...who has a tendency to tarnish major brand names. We explain how Megan Rapinoe is attempting to redefine women...and how Victoria's Secret is a victim left in her path of destruction.

Draymond Green has once again found a way to be offended with the mainstream media. Early Tuesday morning...Draymond Green tweeted his displeasure with ESPN because one of their anchors said Kevin Durant was emotional. We reveal and react to the response from Draymond Green. We explain why Draymond Green represents everything wrong with the modern-NBA. We point out the hypocrisy in his tweet...by referencing his fake outrage with Chris Russo back in May. We discuss how unbalanced the NBA is in terms of power between teams and players...causing most fans to be unable to relate.

The WNBA held its All-Star weekend festivities in Chicago last week...and came out of the weekend with more negatives than positives. WNBA All-Star Game ratings were actually decent...but the weekend was filled with organizational issues. We reveal and react to WNBA All-Star Game ratings. We highlight the numerous failures of WNBA All-Star weekend...including the Skills Competition and technical issues with ESPN. We discuss how the weekend highlighted the irrelevancy of the WNBA...and criticize WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert for failing to properly organize the event.

LeBron James has been the star of The Shop...which aired on HBO for four years. Ratings for The Shop started abysmal...and only became worse as the last few episodes failed to make the top-150 shows on cable. Season five of The Shop premieres on YouTube later this week...and LeBron James devised a brilliant strategy to promote the premiere. We reveal and react to the promotion strategy of LeBron James. We discuss how the mainstream media bit into the promotion...and is providing LeBron James all the free press he wanted. We explain how LeBron James knew exactly what he was doing...and discuss the real reason The Shop is no longer airing on HBO.

ESPN used to be a trusted and reliable source for information in the world of sports. Lately...ESPN is known more for their embarrassing mistakes and presentation of false information than being a trusted source in sports news. We reveal and react to the latest mistake made by ESPN. We discuss how this is the third time ESPN has been fooled by a parody account on Twitter. We cover the numerous false reports issued by Adam Schefter...and explain the reason we're seeing so much false information presented by ESPN.
