Simplest Minds of The Week
Caitlin Clark
Caitlin Clark needs to understand it’s 2024. There are cameras everywhere and no one is handing out sympathy platter. Quite the opposite. If you look like you have something remotely positive going for you the internet is going to bend over backwards to tear you down. For the best woman’s basketball player in the country, you gotta have a better head on your shoulders.
How bad of a look is it for Ms. Clark? She’s lucky no one gives a shit about women’s sports. If this was any male athlete other than Lebron, Stephen A Smith would be giving a scolding monologue straight to camera.
Caitlin Clark is a pretty badass ball player. The women’s Steph Curry, some have called her. She certainly has the potential to pick up the mantel of women’s basketball from players like Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi. Or Rebecca Lobo? I don’t know. I don’t watch. I do know she got that face wash treatment from the LSU player who has since flunked out. Take from that information what you will. Leave the flopping to game Caitlin.
Kayshon Boutte
Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte was arrested by Louisiana State Police on Thursday as part of an investigation into illegal sports gaming.
Boutte is accused of placing bets using a fraudulent account while being a 20-year-old senior at LSU, with some of the wagers placed on Tigers games; gambling under the age of 21 is illegal in Louisiana.
The account in believed to be used by Boutte placed 8,900 bets from Apr 6, 2022 to May 7, 2023, with at least 17 placed on NCAA football games, at least six of those on LSU games.
According to WAFB, the wagers and payouts involved “several hundred thousand dollars,” though Boutte, now 21, never bet “against himself.” SOURCE
