1:45:02Now PlayingTonight on MESSY MONDAY, Micca and cohost Dave Anderson are cleaning up the biggest sports, media, and cultural messes of the week!
The Indiana Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream in a wild overtime finish—but the Internet cannot stop talking about Angel Reese’s missed game-winning layup and Caitlin Clark’s reaction. We’re breaking down the WNBA injuries, the Fever–Dream matchup, the online reactions, and Joy Taylor’s controversial Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese argument.
Then, Nolan Wells’ family—joined by attorneys Ben Crump and Reverend Al Sharpton—appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists convention and called for a federal review of his death. We’ll play the audio and examine what new evidence was—and was not—presented.
NABJ also gave Stephen A. Smith its “Thumbs Down” award, accusing him of having a pattern of disparaging prominent Black women. Stephen A. has responded—and it sounds like he is preparing to bring receipts.
We’re also reacting to the Joe Budden Podcast debate comparing misgendering someone to using the N-word. Is that a legitimate comparison, or does it erase the unique history attached to racial slurs against Black Americans?
Finally, we examine the tragic rise and fall of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday. Arday, once celebrated as Cambridge’s youngest Black professor, resigned amid plagiarism allegations and questions surrounding his academic work and personal history. He was found dead shortly afterward at 41. We’ll discuss the allegations, the institutional failures, the public reaction, and why compassion and accountability can coexist.
