House of Glass 2: The Athletic Wants Sophie Cunningham Out of Indiana?!

We did another video House of Glass, this time LIVE with Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports. What a great element you live viewers brought. We were heartened by the audience that arrived and encourage all of you to share word of this experiment if you can. I thought it was a great show, in my humble opinion.

Topics! Discussed!

* Why Sophie Cunningham’s politics have inspired calls for the Fever to get rid of her—and why we think that’s crazy.

* The Atlanta Dream’s curious definition of a “sellout”—and what it says about the WNBA’s post-Caitlin Clark reality.

* Braiden Bell was fired by the Blazers over tweets he wrote around age 15. Should teenage social-media posts really cost someone a job 15 years later?

* Bell wants his Blazers job back—and the lawyer representing him has already helped another fired NBA announcer get reinstated.

* Why I believe that the Blazers were not only morally wrong, but acting imprudently.

* Is cancellation culture actually “back,” or does Bell’s willingness to fight his firing show how much the environment has changed since 2018?

* The bizarre Dave Portnoy–Ryan Day feud, and how Ohio State reportedly helped push Portnoy off Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff.

* How much power does Ohio State have over Fox and the Big Ten? Enough, perhaps, to dictate who appears on television.

* What happened to Tony Romo? How an announcer went from revolutionary superstar to losing the very “superpower” that made him famous.

* I express my LOUD SKEPTICISM that the Justin Herbert problem is downstream of Jim Harbaugh or Mike McDaniel incompetence.
