Speaking of random mentions, I do the NYT crossword every day, and at least weekly there's a clue involving the WNBA, which is far, far, far more than any other pro sports league.

I've noticed the W a lot in crosswords. Probably because the acronym is 4 letters with no vowels.

Ryuocco was also one of the commentators at the W championship series. Jackson complimented him on his work and remarked how exciting this year's finals was. They spoke glowingly of Ace.

From last Sunday (April 3) episode of the game show, The Weakest Link, on NBC.

In the final round...

Host (Jane Lynch): "Diana Taurasi is the all-time leading scorer in what professional sports league?"

Female Contestant named Jaya: "Soccer".

Host: "The correct answer is...the WNBA".

Kountry Wayne is a popular comedian with a YouTube channel that is quite the clean content (no cussing) soap opera (a lot of promiscuity, deceit and backbiting). One recent unexpected twist was the storyline of a male character with his female best friend. She always seemed reluctant to have him meet her significant other. Turns out it was Tamera (TY) Young!

The skits use a lot of Atlanta-based talent because that's where it's filmed.
