Summary

This week we’re zooming in on the W’s preseason, including Paige Bueckers’ debut with Dallas and way-too-early odds on MVP rankings. Plus, Caitlin Clark is back and outdoing herself already. We also take a closer look at the ACL tears that are plaguing the league, and share our thoughts on a new FIFA-study investigating how menstrual cycles contribute to ACL tears. On a lighter note, we ogle the eye-popping suiting at the 2025 Met Gala, which included some of our favorite athletes. Finally, Sue has a new podcast! Bird’s Eye View will be getting into the weeds of the x’s and o’s of women’s basketball.

Welcome back, everybody. As all of our YouTubers can see, we're in different rooms. Megan is away, which means I had the whole

0:41.5

apartment to myself. I got to eat what I want. I got to watch what I want. Did you feel as liberated?

0:51.1

No, I was stuck on a plane the whole time, not getting to eat what I wanted. The meal that I
