FFSN WNBA

Grace and Thomas are back with quite a bit of news to discuss. First, they get into all we've gotten from Unrivaled in the last few weeks.

Next, they dig into so much WNBA news. Several head coach and front office vacancies h...

Grace and Thomas are back with an entire finals to recap (which creates a slightly longer episode than usual). They get into the best of five series that may have been the best of all time. There were two overtime games, a dramatic buzzer beater, and questionable officiating that led to massive amounts of controversy and claims of a stolen championship. Next, they discuss the WNBPA's official opt-...

Grace and Thomas are back after a brief absence to break down the playoffs thus far.

Grace and Thomas are back, and Cathy Engelbert gave them plenty to discuss. She was recently interviewed and was asked about the insidious racism creeping into the WNBA this season in large part thanks to the Clark/Reese "rivalry" and her comments...did not pass the vibe check. They talk about what she should've said, what she eventually said, and how this continues to be disheartening in the more...

Grace and Thomas are back with some Olympics basketball to discuss.

Grace and Thomas are back and there's a bunch to discuss. They begin with the injuries potentially threatening several Olympic players. Cameron Brink is already out, and Rhyne Howard and Napheesa Collier have injuries that seem somewhat serious. What would the procedure be, who would replace them, and does it even matter in the USWBNT's quest for an 8th straight gold medal? Next, they get into the...

Grace and Thomas are back with a week-ish of basketball news to discuss. They start by getting into the Commissioner's Cup game, which was won by the Minnesota Lynx 94-89.

The long hiatus is over, Grace and Thomas are back. They missed a lot in three weeks.

Next, they dive into the latest developm...

Grace and Thomas are back after a very busy first week of WNBA action. First, they get into the non-game news. Toronto has officially been named the 14th WNBA team, to begin in 2026, and in a way they're Canada's team. The league media rights are now back to looking like they will be bundled with the NBA rights. And the Aces are being investigated for suspected salary cap circumvention...again. Ne...

It's the first games of the WNBA season, and Grace and Thomas have so much to talk about. First, though, they cover the biggest non-game stories of the week.

It's definitely not the best or most organized rollout, but it is the most Cathy Engelber...

Grace and Thomas are back to cover an unexpectedly eventful week of WNBA news. First they get into some Aces roster moves, in a segment that was supposed to be about more than just the Aces but when discussing the recent Jackie Young contract extension ended up evolving into salary cap and CBA discussions (as it is often wont to do with that subject).

Grace and Thomas are back with a packed episode. First, they discuss the stunning announcement this week of Candace Parker's retirement. They discuss her legacy, the way that the teams she's played for and the league at large should grapple with and celebrate her immense legacy, and the position this might leave the Aces in, having to fill massive shoes like that on the fly. Next, they begin seaso...

Grace and Thomas are back with another episode! It's the last episode before training camps begin, so there's a relative lack of news.

The WIngs will also be moving arenas to be closer to the heart of downtown Dalla...
