Hard disagree Rob. It's not as simple as Wilson > DRob. That's obvious. It's about the entire picture, which doesn't come close to adding up to me. Don't even think the Jets plan on moving him.
I don’t know who wants Taylor cause that makes no sense.
Wilson > Demarcus Robinson.
Also Robinson, Deebo, Cowing, Pearsall and Watkins aren’t long for the club.

This leaves out the option of moving to Friday/Tuesday. Can someone explain the HUGE downside to this?
@ramonashelburne
This, to me, is the OBVIOUS choice.
@ramonashelburne
This, to me, is the OBVIOUS choice.
If they have the game at Gateway, people are going to complain about the size of the venue and the inability for people to attend.
If they play the game at a college arena, people are gonna say well this is a new arena. They have never played here this year, it’s an unfair advantage because they’re unfamiliar with the court, etc.
If they make arrangements so that they can play at State Farm Arena, ( understanding that the Dream are not tenants at all of this building yet so this is really A LOT of moving parts trying to compromise to make it work) then there are complaints about the game being too early.
It feels like there is no winning in this situation because everybody’s gonna find something to complain about. Is it ideal? No. But is compromising ever ideal for everyone? No.
Does it suck to have a potential closeout game at 12:30 in the afternoon? Absolutely. But, I’m glad they made it work in someway and that another 18,000 people can enjoy what could be the final WNBA game of the season. #WNBA

This is flat out a poor choice by the WNBA and super disappointing. Moving to Friday/Tuesday was CLEARLY the better option.
If someone wins a ring before lunchtime west coast on Thursday, that is...something.

After a weekend of nonstop frantic discussions and negotiation, Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be played Thursday at 12:30 pm at 17,000-seat State Farm Arena in Atlanta, sources told ESPN.
The Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers game that night will move back to 8 pm to eader, just as the Hawks did for Game 4. This allows a potential Game 7 to remain scheduled for Halloween at Chase Center in San Francisco.
All three Finals games in Atlanta have required hurried adjustments to the schedule at State Farm Arena. It took collective efforts from the WNBA, NBA, the Hawks, State Farm Arena, Dream, Valkyries and broadcast partners to figure out the best course of action again.
By moving the game earlier in the day, the WNBA avoided a scenario where a potential championship game was played inside the Dream’s home arena, the 3,500 seat Gateway Center.
The other option under strong consideration was moving Game 6 to an open date at State Farm Arena on Friday and Game 7 to an open date at Chase Center on Tuesday, November 3.

What a fascinating player. We'll see if the game can match his willingness to say...a lot. 1 game in.
I kinda love it, but my goodness he puts himself out there.

"The 2026 NFL Draft, the 49ers select awesomeness. They crushed this. Look at the production they are getting out of their rookies. Look at the defense; It's Fred and Dre and a bunch of absolute babies."

I'm old enough to remember when the Rams were "definitely" about to win the next 5 straight.
