Elle Duncan dropped a NSFW metaphor for lackluster WNBA All-Star defense
ESPN anchor Elle Duncan found a very... illustrative way to describe the lack of defense during Saturday night's WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis.
During halftime coverage, Duncan quipped about the absolute absence of defense during the point-heavy game between Team Caitlin Clark and Team Napheesa Collier. It's, well, pretty NSFW. So, be advised.
"We hope it gets a little bit more competitive," Duncan said. "Because like a girls' trip to Cancun, right now, there's no D."
Oh dear! We're guessing the higher-ups at ESPN and maybe the FCC probably weren't thrilled about this one!
That's a pretty great line from Duncan, but it probably came with some raised eyebrows from fans (and custom parental earmuffs for kids) at home.
Duncan may get some attention from ESPN for this NSFW quip if the powers that be don't have a sense of humor, but it was worth it for the laughs.

Minnesota Vikings CB earns honorable mention in league wide poll about best at position
Questions loom around a potential addition to the Minnesota Vikings' cornerback room. But one member of the team still managed to receive an honorable mention on ESPN's top-10 list. ESPN finished its top-10 list with cornerbacks. Although he didn't land in the top 10, Byron Murphy Jr. received an honorable mention, with one executive praising him for his increased versatility in playing both inside and outside. "He made a lot of plays last year. You have to give him credit. He was seen as more of an inside guy to start his career, but he's on the outside and producing in a big way." -- NFL personnel evaluator Murphy is looking to build on his 2024 season, where he received his first Pro Bowl invitation after intercepting six passes, the most by a Vikings cornerback since 1998. If the other cornerbacks can step up, the Vikings' defense should be among the league's best.

Cowboys open camp down $15 million of talent as three CBs, LB start on PUP/NFI lists
The Cowboys are ready to kick off their 2025 training camp in Oxnard, Calif., but several key members of the new-look defense will be a little later to start than their teammates. Cornerbacks Trevon Diggs and Josh Butler will open camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, as will linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. Rookie cornerback Shavon Revel, Jr. will start out on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list. Todd Archer of ESPN reported the statuses of the quartet in a Monday morning post to X. None of the four announcements is a surprise. Diggs was shelved in late December, the result of a knee injury that he had played through for most of the 2024 season. He had surgery in January that included a tissue graft procedure, and he was never really expected to be cleared for practice by the beginning of this summer's camp. It's the second straight camp in which the 26-year-old has started out on PUP; last July, he was wrapping up a lengthy rehab, after an ACL tear in the same knee that had cost him most of the 2023 campaign. This time around, the former second-round draft pick has been doing much of his rehab away from the Cowboys facility and staff, a decision that will cost him half a million dollars due to a workout provision in his contract. There is speculation that this could be the final year for Diggs in Dallas, with the club possibly ready to cut ties with the highly-paid but often-injured DB. Diggs is set to cost $12 million against the Cowboys cap for 2025. Overshown is also dealing with a major knee injury. After missing his rookie season to a torn ACL, he suffered a devastating ACL/MCL/PCL tear in December that brought his stellar campaign to an early end. The ex-Texas linebacker wants to return to action in late 2025, however, and is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab. The 24-year-old has even declared himself a contender for the league's Comeback Player of the Year award. He checks in with a $1.5 million price tag for this season. Butler's ACL injury was another late-season blow for the Dallas defense, as the Michigan State product had been part of the club's fill-in plan for both Diggs and DaRon Bland. In just his fifth game appearance for the team, he went down on Thanksgiving Day and missed the remainder of the season. The ex-UFL star said on social media just last week that he was "ready for camp." Butler is making around the league minimum and is on the books for $960,000. Revel was the Cowboys' third-round draft pick back in April and will count $1.2 million against the cap this season. The East Carolina product had been thought to be a first-round talent before an ACL tear forced him to sit out most of his final year with the Pirates. Still, his skills are undeniable, and the 24-year-old taken with the 76th overall selection was considered one of the biggest steals of the draft. He is expected to be ready for play before Week 1, even if he won't be greenlit for the start of camp. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!
