Summary
Hello! It's the podcast that hates mops but loves MOPs. Today, Katie and the Casualties congratulate UCLA on their women's basketball national championship, Lauren Betts on her tournament MOP, and Holly Rowe for calling out why Lauren didn't get a trophy for that, and get into the Final Four drama between Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley over the weekend. Who was right? Who was wrong? Who said they would beat whose ass? The team discusses, and looks at whether Lauren Betts or Awa Fam could've surpassed Azzi Fudd as the #1 pick in next week's WNBA Draft, the WNBA bungling the presentation of the expansion draft, and Angel Reese being traded to Atlanta ahead of WNBA free agency. Then, Katie and the Casualties get into the Men's Final Four and the rumors that the tournaments could be expanding to 76 teams next year, Lebron's comments about disliking Memphis, Gary Cohen's comments about St. Louis, and whether it's OK to publicly dislike a city, the PWHL selling out Madison Square Garden, the Islanders replacing their head coach four games before the playoffs, a baby being born at the Oilers game this weekend, the Nationals celebrating their 21st anniversary, bucketheads at Yankee Stadium, Baby Susac at the Giants game, Glizzilla at the Rockies game, Jo Adell possibly having the greatest defensive game in the history of baseball, the Red Sox getting "sell the team" chants, and the sordid tale of poison, helicopters, and seven years of investigation into insurance fraud among Mt. Everest rescue teams. The team wraps with Chris' look at What to Watch in sports this weekend, including a preview of Rory McIlroy's menu at The Masters Champions Dinner.
