Sophie Cunningham GOES OFF: The WNBA must PROTECT Caitlin Clark Jun 27, 2026

Show notes

Sophie Cunningham doesn't hold back on the Indiana Fever's struggles, the state of WNBA officiating, why Caitlin Clark isn't being protected during her scrum with Alyssa Thomas and the Phoenix Mercury on Monday night, and the viral technical foul with DeWanna Bonner that turned her into the internet's newest meme.

They also talk All-Star voting returns, Sophie’s hot streak in Indy and why west coast road trips are the perfect time to bond, regroup and check in when a team is going through a rough patch. She also states why being a vet is important to a team’s mental physique.

Plus, West Wilson breaks his silence after the Whiteboard interview, explains why stepping away from Summer House was the right move & shares stories from officiating his first wedding.

Finally the duo talks a little FIFA Club World Cup, from Norway fans line dancing in Citi Field, to Scottish fans drinking out New England pubs, and the universal recognition of ranch dressing's awesomeness.
