I think we may be finding out why Sophie Cunningham is no longer on the Phoenix Mercury.

A federal complaint filed by Gene Traylor, the Suns’ former director of safety, security, and risk management, is pulling the covers on an alleged relationship between Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and Cunningham.

Traylor alleged that a conversation with Suns executive Dan Craig led to him being told that Bartelstein was romantically involved with Cunningham. When Bartelstein pressed Traylor for details, Traylor quoted Craig directly:

“Josh Bartelstein is f**ing Sophie Cunningham,” according to court documents obtained and reported by Front Office Sports.

Now, it appears that Cunningham was certainly benefiting from that alleged sexual relationship.

Social media remembered the time Cunningham turned down Unrivaled because she made more as an analyst for the Suns.

 

Cunningham, a star player for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, is also a recurring analyst for the Phoenix Suns on their Suns Live! Pre-game, halftime, and post-game TV coverage.

She declined Unrivaled’s reported $1 million offer, choosing to focus on her broadcasting role.

Sophie Cunningham’s unorthodox relationship with the team CEO is likely the reason she got the job and more money in her pocket.

We are just months from the lawsuit at Fox Sports that accused Joy Taylor of having a sexual relationship with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and former FS1 network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career.

The lawsuit also accuses Taylor of using her sexuality to secure a spot on “Speak” in 2020.

Will Sophie Cunningham Speak Out on The Allegations?

Sophie Cunningham is currently going through her first season with the Indiana Fever after being traded by the Mercury.

Now, things have changed as a lawsuit claims she was having a sexual relationship with the Phoenix Suns CEO.

Unless a reporter outright asks her about it, she is unlikely to speak out.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.

Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.

Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.

“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.

“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.

“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.

“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.

Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone

While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.

Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.

Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.

“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.

Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
