Diana Flores on Flag Football for Dummies + WNBA Rivalries + Is UConn Untouchable?

Megan and Sue remember Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was killed by Customs and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, and share their thoughts on how to fight feeling overwhelmed with despair. One place to start is to call your Senators, who are voting this week on whether to continue funding ICE through September. As Sue explains on the show, Sharon McMahon makes this very easy through her website, check it out here.

For the rest of the show, Megan and Sue take a look at Trinity Rodman’s record-breaking salary with the Washington Spirit, and the brewing rivalry between Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark – and why rivalries are a good thing for the league. Plus, UConn is now the last college women’s basketball team standing undefeated. Does it matter?

And Mexico’s flag football star Diana Flores joins us to talk about her new book, Flag Football for Dummies, and what it means for the sport to make its Olympic debut in 2028.

Finally, Sue and Megan send their flowers to Marina Mabrey and her “crashout jar” with a montage of their favorite moments of Marina crashing out. And Sue reveals one of her first encounters with Marina during the bubble year.
