Christan Braswell September 12, 2025

After a long and arduous season, the WNBA playoffs are finally upon us. The postseason begins on Sunday with the WNBA Finals slated to end by Oct. 19 at the latest. A league-record, 44-game schedule determined the top eight seeds. The first round is a best-of-three series in a 1-1-1 format, with the higher seed hosting Game 1 and, if necessary, Game 3. The semifinals, a best-of-five format, are 2-2-1, with the higher seed hosting Games 1, 2, and 5. For the first time in league history, the WNBA Finals will expand to a best-of-seven series, featuring a 2-2-1-1-1 structure, […]

Every Blade of Grass: Rising Tides and Sinking Ships

Sylvia Bullock September 9, 2025

Well dear readers, it has been a heck of a week or two in the league. Much of the drama centers around off the pitch movement, but the playoff race in the league is super tight behind first place Kansas City and second place Washington Spirit. Seven (7) points separate the third spot and the tenth spot in the standings with seven (7) matches left to go, and most of the teams in the mix having yet to play one another, which makes for an exciting end to the season. I suspect a few teams that are currently in a […]

Swish Happens Here: The WNBA playoffs loom in the near distance

Christan Braswell September 5, 2025

As the WNBA regular season has more games behind it than ahead of it, the postseason inches closer by the day. The seeding leading up to the playoffs has been quite the daily trend to watch unfold. The Minnesota Lynx will most likely close out its 2025 campaign as the first overall seed with a five-game lead, but only six games separate the Las Vegas Aces at two down to the Indiana Fever at in the eighth spot. Playoff Seeding/Temperature Check   8th – Indiana Fever (21-20) Somehow, it feels like the Fever just cannot catch a welcomed reprieve from the […]

Swish Happens Here: An MVP race that needs appreciation and a Dream deferred

Christan Braswell August 29, 2025

The 2025 WNBA schedule has provided a plethora of thrilling endings, but this final stretch to wrap a bow on the regular season has the potential to be one of the closest races in recent memory. With less than eight games left for each of the top six seeds, these teams also own the top six hardest remaining schedules. If you like telenovelas, this season has been nothing short of one. The MVP race, as of late, has only intensified the flames. Whether it gets publicly acknowledged by the masses or not, the media always picks a player whom it […]

Dear readers, thank you for allowing me the chance to share something different with you all last week. Vulnerability is scary, but I felt like someone had to say the words. Thank you for your overwhelming support for myself and for Fearless SC. I truly like so much of what we’re doing here, and your support means the world.

Let’s get into it.  It’s baseball […]

Swish Happens Here: The Rookie of the Year Race is Over

Christan Braswell August 22, 2025

The cat is out of the bag. The job is done. The beans were spilled. It is official, folks. Take your pick of idioms, but the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year race is over. In a scintillating, down-to-the-wire 81-80 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks, the sporting world witnessed one of the greatest basketball performances of all time as Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers ignited for a historic 44 points, tying four-time WNBA champion, two-time MVP, and Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper-Dyke. The former three-time league scoring champion was 34 years of age with a decorated professional career in […]

Every Blade of Grass: On Heat, Turf, and Protecting Your Players

Sylvia Bullock August 19, 2025

Dear reader, this week is going to go a bit differently than my first six articles. One, five of the seven matches this week ended in a draw, though some happened in more dramatic fashion than others. That’s the third week in a row that over half the matches in the league have ended in a tie, and there are only so many puns one can make. Two, and more importantly, there comes a time when pressure must be released, and that time for me is now.  Credit: Orlando Pride This weekend, Match Day 16, featured the marquee matchup of […]

Swish Happens Here: Is the 2025 WNBA Draft class better than 2024?

Christan Braswell August 15, 2025

The 2024 WNBA Draft class was heralded as one of the best ever. With the pre-existing success and popularity of players like Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, and Cameron Brink, the W found itself in a rare position as the league catapulted into American mainstream media after the Wubble. The explosion of interest in women’s college basketball only sweetened the pot as players with established fanbases and NIL (name, image, and likeness) opportunities joined the professional ranks. Last year’s draft class was star-studded; there is no denying this. The number of rookies who were household names in college only expanded their […]

Every Blade of Grass: Rivalry Week, Change in North Carolina, Hello Reilyn Turner

Sylvia Bullock August 12, 2025

Welcome back Fearless readers. It’s that time of the week again, where I take a quick trip around the NWSL to cover all things great and small. This weekend was billed as “Rivalry Weekend” by the league, and it looked like it wouldn’t live up to the hype before the league’s oldest rivalry saved the day. The juggernaut in Missouri grew their lead at the top of the table, while the bottom four teams put in solid performances, with three of them getting results. Overall, it felt like a weekend when most teams decided not to take a lot of […]
