| | rantnrave:// Are the MINNESOTA LYNX the most dominant team in pro sports right now? PATRIOTS, WARRIORS, PENGUINS -- that's the company they keep. The Lynx won their fourth WNBA title in seven years. Remixed the 2016 finals. Came back down from 2-1 down against the SPARKS and clinched on their home court. Last two minutes were so much fun; a crushing collapse and a title on the line. MAYA MOORE in the clutch after LA went on a 9-0 run to try to steal it. SYLVIA FOWLES, MVP. The WNBA finals are basketball at its best and most inclusive, UPROXX's CAITLIN WHITE says. You don't need to love CAVS-WARRIORS to love Lynx-Sparks. You can appreciate dominance when you see it... Jerseys aren't just for players anymore. Haven't been for a while. They're what fans wear to the game, to the bars, and on the street. They're on runways and in music videos. They're culture. The jersey you wear tells a story. What team you root for. Which player you like. Your style. My favorite jersey: the late '90s MAGIC black and white pinstripe PENNY HARDAWAY. SportsSET: "The Sports Jerseys We Love (and) Hate"... Rule #80: If a Hall-of-Famer wants crash your wedding, let him. Especially if it's JERRY RICE. Would anyone believe you if you said Rice showed up at your wedding? Like a BILL MURRAY urban legend. THE RINGER's KEVIN CLARK's got receipts. Rice has been crashing weddings in the BAY AREA since he retired. Did he watch WEDDING CRASHERS and get ideas? Will STEVE YOUNG be his wingman?... CAM NEWTON is wrong. JOURDAN RODRIGUE knows what she's talking about. Ask male reporters why they don't know what a rub route is. MINA KIMES can drop the mic... Why did SERGIO DIPP not get a second chance week one during MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL? He'll be back on an NFL game later this season. Won't be a one meme wonder... The nosebleed seats don't seem so bad anymore. | | | - Mike Vorkunov, curator |
