Caitlin Clark is on a mission to prove she’s no softie this season.

Having spent more time in the gym during the offseason, the Indiana Fever point guard has gone into year two with notable aggression.

She wasted no time setting off controversy with a hard foul on rival Angel Reese in her first game of the current campaign, and Thursday night’s fixture against the Atlanta Dream saw her involved in some more drama.

The former Iowa star got into it with ATL’s Rhyne Howard, who bumped her in the backcourt near the end of the first quarter, leading to a heated exchange of words. Clark is believed to have told Howard she isn’t afraid of her at one point.

The shooting guard picked up a foul on the play, but that would hardly be all.

She had some strong words for Clark while the teams were getting off the floor at halftime, but Clark shut her down with a cheeky thumbs up and a smile to suggest that her words had fallen on deaf ears.

 

Check her out in the video below:

Clark and the Fever came out on top at the end of the hotly contested affair, beating the Dream 81-76 to avenge a prior 90-91 loss earlier in the week.

The Indiana guard wasn’t her spectacular self as she scored just 11 points, adding six assists and four rebounds. But her contribution left the Fever in the win column at the end of the night.

The Fever will return to action this Saturday night with a game against the New York Liberty.

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.
