Dream star Angel Reese grabs historic 26 rebounds in win over Sparks, passes A’ja Wilson for single-season record

Published

Nobody was stopping Angel Reese on the glass on Monday night. 

Reese racked up a ridiculous 26 rebounds while leading the Atlanta Dream to a 78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks at Crypto.com Arena. That set the WNBA’s new single-game rebounds record, surpassing the 24 that Hall of Famer Chamique Holdsclaw pulled down back in 2003 when she was with the Washington Mystics

“Anything that goes up is mine,” Reese said on NBC. “You just have to have that mindset, you know?”

Reese was already tied for the single-game rebounding record among active players, too, after she grabbed 22 in a game during her rookie season in 2024 with the Chicago Sky. Jonquel Jones has secured 22 rebounds in a single contest twice in her career, too.

And with her 26 boards on Monday, Reese also set the WNBA’s single-season rebounding record, too. She flew past Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson, who had 451 rebounds during the 2024 campaign. Reese is now up to 458 rebounds on the year. She was already second on that list, too, with the 446 boards she had as a rookie.

Reese just barely got to 26 rebounds in the game, securing a missed free throw in the final minute of the contest. She scored a bucket with just less than 14 seconds left in the game, too, to officially record her 27th double-double of the season. That’s the most from any player in the league, and two shy of breaking the single-season double-double record.

Skip Bayless goes ballistic on Todd Monken for naming Deshaun Watson as Browns QB1

Published

on

Todd Monken finally knows who his QB1 will be in his head coaching debut, and one person is not taking it well.

During media availability on Monday, the Cleveland Browns head coach confirmed that Deshaun Watson would start next month’s season opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars. The multiple-time Pro Bowler has struggled throughout the preseason and been the subject of negative reception from fans, but Monken stressed that they did not factor into his decision.

He also promised that second-year player Shedeur Sanders would eventually get an opportunity to start as the season progressed, but Skip Bayless is not buying it. Shortly after the news dropped, the veteran sportscaster dropped a lengthy rant that bore the following caption:

In the video itself, he said:

“This sorry-a** franchise does not deserve to have Shedeur Sanders on its roster anymore. I wish there were some way that Jimmy Haslam and Todd Monken would decide to get rid of Shedeur, set him free, trade him elsewhere.

“Do I think Shedeur Sanders could win more games than (Michael) Penix (Jr.) or Tua (Tagovailoa)? You better believe I do.”

Will Compton insinuates Deshaun Watson being named Browns’ QB1 was not Todd Monken’s decision

Todd Monken’s decision to name Deshaun Watson the Browns’ QB1 has been met with much negativity, especially given the former offensive coordinator’s previous track record with the more highly regarded Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson. When explaining it, the coach insisted that it was his decision — one that stemmed from weeks of observation:

“Deshaun gave us the best chance to move the ball and score points. I felt that way going into the last game, but wasn’t sure. And after we talked as a staff and we re-looked at everything, we’re going to go that direction.”

However, Will Compton is not buying that notion. Reacting to comments that Dan Orlovsky made on ESPN’s First Take, the former NFL linebacker and current podcast host implied that the decision may have actually come from Browns owner Mike Haslam:

“Feels like a decision CLEARLY above Todd Monken.”
