  1. Those 4 hours watching a touch more with Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, Diana Taurasi, and Penny Taylor was 4 hours well spent. To quote Megan when she is drunkenly talking about a topic I won’t mention “It is sports, it’s politics, it’s religion, it’s all of it”.

    • I’ve been watching this each week of lockdown just for a bit of Sunday early afternoon chit chat (for me, cuz timezones) and this week had to tap out for errands and a solid hour long walk – cracked up when I went to scroll through IG and it was still going :)
