what a sunday! the valks taking game one against the aces, showing strength in numbers and defensive hustle. janelle salaün was named sixth player of the year, but only played 6 minutes in this contest.  i'm sure we will see more of her in the series. i was skeptical we could get such a decisive win, but as ace's coach becky hammon said "we played like ass and only loss by 10."  

it was eleven. needless to say, the aces will come out wednesday angry and looking to even the series.

then, the niners notched their fourth win against the denver broncos. again, I couldn't watch it live, but from the game cast broncos defense was holding us. our defense did the same.  we had a great fourth quarter with a touchdown by deebo and kittle, but juice got hurt. hoping it won't keep kyle out too long. next up is a doozy against division rivals seattle seahawks. 😬

valkyries win!!!

what a game!  i've been a fan of the talks their inaugural season last year. making the playoffs last year was a feat for a new expansion team, but getting the 2 seed and winning their first playoff series yesterday was huge.  I was distraught after game 2 thinking maybe they were too inexperienced to get it done in the clutch.  we aren't great in ot. give it to arike ogunbowale, but in game 3 all star gabby williams was clutch. coach nakase was wise to rest her for a significant amount of time in the third quarter, and she showed out until the final minutes. next up is defending champs the las vegas aces.  it's going to be tough, but hoping ballhalla can be the sixth woman for games 1 and 2 at home. G-S-V!

another game i didn't watch live because it wasn't airing in my region. i was with a fellow niners fan while we watched the score and pulled up highlights on nfl.com.  bummer that yet another wide receiver is out (demarcus robinson). purdy was close to perfect.  would have been if deebo didn't drop that pass. i can't get too excited because there's still so much season to play.  cards up next and probably won't see it on the east coast.

a bit delayed but the boys won the opener down under. i didn't watch any of it as it aired on netflix. (still wrapping my head around live sports on the streamer). from the stats, brock purdy had a game minus the one pick. there was a whole banter about sleep optimizations, which needless to say the niners came out on top of that one too. i don't wanna get too excited because its still too early in the season and all i'm hoping for is a healthy group.
