Social media detectives spotted a perfectly timed video of Angel Reese looking jealous and bitter after Caitlin Clark drilled a three-pointer in Saturday’s season opener.
The rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark dates back to the 2023 women’s basketball national championship game. There, Reese taunted Clark with John Cena’s signature “you can’t see me” gesture after leading the LSU Tigers to a blowout win over the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The WNBA treated its fans to a season opener between Reese’s Chicago Sky and Clark’s Indiana Fever. Though the Fever won a lopsided affair 93-58, there was plenty of drama on the Reese-Clark rivalry front.
During the third quarter, Clark was hit with a flagrant foul on Reese to stop her from making an easy basket. Reese went over to confront Clark, but was quickly restrained.
At another point of the game, fans on social media noticed Angel Reese’s bitter reaction to Caitlin Clark making a three-pointer in the blowout win. Have a look at this money shot from the ESPN cameras:

Stop dude Reese is so jealous of Clark you can cut it with a fork…Clark is the superior player, always will be. Angel would do well the just focus on her own game, how she plays and be a solid defender/rebounder. A Rodman type. She’ll have a great career if she does so. pic.twitter.com/3PU3lbF1gn

While Clark has avoided public trash talk (and taunting, for that matter), Reese has done her part in stirring up the one-on-one rivalry. Don’t forget that last year, a frustrated Reese told reporters that people aren’t just watching women’s basketball because of one person (Clark), but because of her as well.
When a reporter asked Reese about this comment ahead of last week’s season opener, she said “Next question.”
Reporter: “Last year, you made a powerful statement saying the reason people are watching women’s basketball is not just because of one player [Caitlin Clark] but because of you too… do you feel like…”
Angel Reese: “Next question.”

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.
VIDEO: A’ja Wilson Sends Social Media Into A Frenzy After Claiming She Would Beat Josh Hart In A 1v1

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
