The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
So to go back to last year, to the first year in the league, Caitlyn Clark came out, you know, both together. But she came out with, with all the media attention. She was the spotlight because of the way she played in college. And she's really redefined the game much in a way that Steph Curry did to the WN, to the NBA.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Right. It's just changed the game. And, and Caitlin Clark is doing things out there that no one really has been able to do in the WNBA. I mean, She hits three pointers from the logo, you know, close to half court, just plays a beautiful fluid game. There's a jealousy aspect. It's clear with Angel Reese.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
I mean, there's a play last year where Angel Reese, you know, Caitlin Clark's going up for a layup and, Angel Reese comes in from the side and clotheslines her, uh, just knocks her right to the ground with full arm elbow, right to the side of Caitlin Clark's head. You could see there's, there's, there's a dislike, you know?

Fuck Dave Portnoy for what he said about my Knicks. Sorry. Go back.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
No. And I, you know what? I don't even know that. This is a racially charged issue between the players. It's a competitive issue.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
I think there's two different things at play there. Number one, Listen, there's a racism problem, of course, in the country. And I think, you know, from the time we were younger, it's improved, but there's still work to be done, of course. I've been to games. You listen to athletes all over that they say, you know, they've heard horrible slurs being said. Boston is one city that's famous for it.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
It's a problem. And I have no doubt that... Angel Reese has heard those slurs out there in the court. That has zero to do with Caitlin Clark. The WNBA from last year, Caitlin Clark has been abused, fouled, chronically hard fouls, flagrant fouls. And it was more of what seemed to be a rite of passage, right? She's coming out of college. She's this hot shot.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
She's getting more attention in that league than every other player combined. And she had to take her beating through the league. Towards the end of last year, it started to subside a little bit where it was okay, she's taken her beating, she never really said anything about it, and she just moved on. And I think that earned her a lot of respect through the league.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Where Angel Reese has gone wrong is after that play last week, she's being interviewed and she said, ref got it right, move on. Nothing to talk about, right?
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Yeah, I... Once you put white girl in it, it changes the entire conversation, right? It puts the racial aspect of the whole dynamic.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Yeah, I mean, sports is one of the, you know, it's supposed to bring us together, right? You go outside of the garden during these games, you have all walks of life. You have every race, religion, you know, creed. Everyone's standing there shoulder to shoulder. They're cheering on one team, everybody together.

The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Years ago, when I would run some races with New York Roadrunners, I'd look around me and it was the United Nations out there. And it's everybody moving together, cheering each other on. And that's what sports is supposed to be about. It's supposed to be a distraction from the everyday struggles of life. No one wants to see this in there. Everyone wants to watch a game. We love a good rivalry.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
I would love to watch injuries and Caitlin Clark go at it the old way that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did. Those two hated each other. They played hard against each other. They wanted to destroy each other every game. But that's what it was. It was just competitive nature. Each wanted to beat the other. It wasn't. You know, it could be shut down.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
This could be shut down so easily by Angel Reese by just coming out and saying, this is Rachel. I just want to beat her. I want to be the best. And everyone.
The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
First of all, I wish two of them would just go away. No one wants to watch football for Taylor Swift. No one wants to see the Chiefs on all the time in primetime games so we could see Taylor Swift in attendance. Travis Kelsey, you know, he lost a step last year. He's getting older. And it happens to all great athletes. But we don't want to see the Chiefs keep running him out there.

Just let him go. Go off into the darkness. And please, for the love of God, don't walk around with your shirt off with your back half waxed.

I don't know. I mean, the only thing I can think is the back, the top of his back might've been so hairy that it like overtook the collar of his shirt and he just looked like a caveman. So he. did half of it. So it didn't look that bad and then forgot. I don't know. I don't know.

Yeah. So, I mean, we take planes back and forth across the country. I'm sure they're. She's not flying coach. She's in a private jet. Leonardo DiCaprio, do as they say, not as they do when it comes to terms of the environment. I'm going to take the charters and private planes and yachts, but the rest of you should listen to me when it comes to the environment.

The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
The Baldwins' Swan Song, Rachael Ray's Bizarro Blathering, and The WNBA's Shameful Behavior
Yeah. I mean, and the other part of it is like, you, you, you're putting this out there in the universe for everybody to see, to, you know, I, I don't, I don't know, like as parents, you know, what you said about, you know, them leaking it out that they tried to stop her from going to the community event masked up.

I mean, I don't know how as a parent you leak that about your kid, like you defend your kid till the end of the earth, right? Right or wrong. You defend them in public and you educate them in private. And then for her to do this, it really must be something special going on in that home that they are throwing each other under the bus publicly in this manner. It's just...

Anyway, go on. The door slam. That's just in front of people. I've just given up. And it's funny. Coming from a guy who can be a pretty good actor depending upon the role he's taking. And he just can't do it. It's not there. He's just given up. He's given up on life at that moment. Slamming the door in front. Everyone knows fully well it's going to be on the front page of every paper. I'm done.

That's one, you know, that would be, I would assume what you consider your greatest personal failure and you would want to, and I would assume the marriage ending, not the alcoholism, right? No, not the alcoholism. No, that's, that's a struggle that people face all the time.

Allegedly my, my mistake. Yeah. I mean, you know, bring that back to the, to the pictures with Jennifer Lopez on a big night for her and he's, you know, where she's elbowing him to smile. I mean, you can't, a person that can't even put a smile out there. It, it, I don't know. I don't know what goes on inside someone like that in his head. I can't place it.

The Nerve with Maureen Callahan
Why "The Let Them Theory" is Terrible Advice For Women, Plus Celebs and the Dangers of Ozempic
Yeah, it's, uh... You go back to just the self-importance piece of it. It's just he has to put himself out there publicly. I think there's a public image that he is so concerned with. And I think maybe to a degree, part of that door slamming with Jennifer Lopez was the masculinity part where he couldn't be viewed as the weaker person in the relationship, the one without the power.

Go back to the comment you made earlier. Allegedly. Just a wild theory. You don't run off in the middle of the night for no reason. There's something that scares you into it. If I'm not mistaken, right about that time, there were reports, rumors surfacing of a female A-list superstar who may have been witness to partaking in some of the freak-offs.

Right, and I read some other piece where there was – the lawyer made a comment about the speed at which he was resigning, and it wasn't in the normal range time frame required by the courts. But there were reasons protected by attorney-client privilege that he could not disclose that did not allow him to continue representing him.
