Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has accused Angel Reese of lying about her rivalry with Caitlin Clark.
The WNBA stars played their season-opening game against each other this Saturday, with the Indiana Fever drawing first blood against the Chicago Sky in a 93-58 blowout win.
The result was massively overshadowed by a moment in the third quarter. Reese was attempting a shot in the post after a rebound and was fouled by Clark, who prevented her from going up and knocked her to the ground in the process.
Angel took exception to the foul, which was upgraded to a flagrant, and had to be restrained as she went after the Fever sharpshooter, clearly wanting the smoke.
No One’s Buying Angel Reese’s Claims About Caitlin Clark

Reese has previously claimed that there’s no rivalry between her and |Clark, but no one’s buying that anymore.
Griffin was among those tweeting about Angel’s reaction to what seemed like a regular foul, claiming it goes much deeper than rivalry.
“After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark,” he wrote.
RGIII added that he knows “what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate.”
Reese can deny it all she wants, but there’s undoubtedly a rivalry, and there’s also no love lost between her and Clark.
Still, it’s great for the WNBA, as it’s attracting more attention to the league.

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.

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.
