Angel Reese ripped for 'lazy' error in latest loss days after beating Caitlin Clark for video game honor
Angel Reese's inclusion on the cover of a popular video game already had WNBA fans in a huff when the second-year Chicago Sky power committed an unforgiveable turnover in Monday's 91-78 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Although she did record her ninth consecutive double-double with 22 points and 10 boards, Reese surrendered the ball five times, including one careless inbounds pass that quickly went viral. 'That was a lazy pass,' one fan remarked on X after Reese's inexcusable second-quarter turnover. In what tennis players would describe as an 'unforced error,' Reese delivered her inbounds pass without even looking at her intended target, Ariel Atkins, who watched as the balled trickled slowly into the hands of Minnesota's Kamilla Cardoso near midcourt. Cardoso then dished to teammate Bridget Carleton, who buried a wide-open 3-pointer to cut Chicago's lead to 46-39. The Lynx trimmed that advantage to four by halftime before pulling away in the second half. To fans, it wasn't just Reese's careless pass that was so bothersome. Rather, the conversation on social media focused on the two-time All-Star's status as one of the faces of the league and a cover model for the WNBA version of the NBA 2K26 video game. 'Is that move going to be in the video game ??' one sarcastic fan asked on X. Another describe Reese's inbounds as a 'no-think' pass, while many gamblers asked how the turnover might impact their bets for the evening. 'I need 4+ assists from her tonight…does that count as one???' one gambler joked. A few fans argued that Atkins was slow getting to the ball, but the overwhelming majority put the blame squarely at the former LSU star's feet. Reese is averaging a league-best 12.6 rebounds a game this season – 3.4 more a game than her next closest competitor – but critics continue to compare her unfavorably to her Indiana Fever rival Caitlin Clark. Criticism often focuses on Reese's 44.6-percent accuracy from the field, which is low for a post player such as herself. What's more, the Sky have been outscored by 169 points when Reese is on the floor - a worse plus-minus rating than all but four WNBA players. Still, Reese managed to snag the cover of NBA 2K26 over the objections of Clark fans. 'Should have been Caitlin Clark,' one wrote on X. 'Over CC? Something smells fishy,' another wrote. Some fans have photoshopped the cover, replacing the basketball in Reese's hand with a giant brick in a dig at her shooting struggles.

Shane Bowen explains Giants defense's mantra for 2025: 'Be a damn pirate'
New York Giants defensive coordinator Shane Bowen introduced a new turnover celebration during the team's OTAs for 2025. Any time a defender forces a turnover, the ball is deposited into a treasure chest the team keeps on the sidelines. Advertisement The second-year Giants defensive coordinator explained the origins of the turnover chest after practice Thursday. It came to him while watching his son play tee-ball for the Pirates, which got him thinking about "the idea of piracy, violent, attacking to steal possessions or goods." That led Bowen to adopt a new mantra for the 2025 NFL season. "You'll hear our guys say it. I say it ad nauseum: 'Be a damn pirate,'" Bowen told reporters. "We got to find ways to get the ball. And, again, you get what you emphasize. We're making it a priority this year to make sure we find ways to get the ball." AARON RODGERS: Winners and losers of QB's deal with Steelers? Advertisement The Giants produced just 15 total takeaways during the 2024 NFL season, good for the fifth-fewest in the NFL. Their turnover differential of negative-8 ranked seventh-worst in the league. Bowen believes improving in that area could be key in helping New York improve significantly after a 3-14 season. "Twelve of the 14 playoff teams were in the top half of the league taking the ball away," Bowen explained. "We got to do a better job of that, making sure we don't miss opportunities to catch them when they're there, don't miss opportunities to try to attack the ball when they're there, matching the hand, whatever that might be." Bowen also made it clear he's trying not to focus too much on the pressure the Giants coaching staff is facing in 2025, even after owner John Mara admitted he had "just about run out of patience" with his team and was critical of New York's defense. Advertisement "I'm driven by the guys," Bowen said. "My job is to get these guys ready to go out there to execute at the highest level, to maximize their potential, and to perform and ultimately win." If playing like pirates helps Bowen to achieve that goal, few will complain about the coordinator's unorthodox approach to getting the most out of his players.
