This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.com Delighted to be joined by Scott Agness , publisher of Fieldhouse Files and man of the hour . I asked him Scott the Indiana Fever are acting so strangely towards him and media writ large. Scott was fair and measured on this pod, as per usual, which makes what the Fever did especially inexplicable. Topics! * Agness explains why the Fever revoked his credential over Caitlin Clark injury reporting. * I argue that the Fever’s messaging around Clark has been confusing and inconsistent. * Discussion of whether something deeper is going on behind the scenes in Indiana. * Agness recounts his long-running access issues with the Pacers/Fever organization. * The two examine how poor PR decisions have amplified controversy. * Agness defends Clark as professional, mature, and media-savvy. * Discussion over whether Clark and coach Stephanie White are actually at odds. * How Clark’s arrival has transformed WNBA attention, ratings, and scrutiny. * Agness dismisses many online conspiracy theories surrounding the Fever. * Sophie Cunningham’s growing influence, personality, and popularity get a spotlight.
