\n

The WNBA<\/a> can’t get out of its own way, and neither can commissioner Cathy Engelbert. To be fair, though, she’s working on her golf game, which I can somewhat respect.<\/p>\n

For those who missed it, Engelbert allegedly backed out of an interview with “The Dan Patrick Show” Friday afternoon. Both Engelbert and Patrick are at the American Century Championship celebrity golf<\/a> tournament in Nevada, and \u2014 according to Patrick \u2014 the WNBA’s\u00a0public relations\u00a0team instructed Engelbert to cancel.<\/p>\n

“We waited almost two hours for her. This was scheduled,” Patrick said during a four-minute segment in which he absolutely ripped Engelbert (politely, of course). “She was going to do a meeting in her hotel room, a conference call, and then she was going to join us… We’re standing by, we’re waiting to interview her.<\/p>\n

HOST CLAIMS WNBA COMMISSIONER CATHY ENGELBERT CANCELED INTERVIEW AS CAITLIN CLARK CONTROVERSY MOUNTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Then we got word… that the commissioner said that the WNBA staff, the PR staff, said that she is not allowed to do this. They would prefer that she did not do this.”<\/p>\n

Just unfathomable levels of stupid coming out of the WNBA right now. They’ve destroyed Caitlin Clark<\/a>, and, somehow, continue to make things worse.<\/p>\n

As for Engelbert backing out … the commish was seen hitting practice shots out of the bunker a mere 50 yards away after ditching the interview, and “The Dan Patrick Show” made sure to let the people at home see exactly how the beach day was going:<\/p>\n

Amazing. It’s like an episode of “The Office,” or “Seinfeld,” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Take your pick, it all works.<\/p>\n

It’s the PERFECT clip for the WNBA right now: Cathy Engelbert shanking a ball out of the sand into the clubhouse while Dan Patrick rips her for skipping an interview a few yards up the fairway.<\/p>\n

CONGRESSMAN EXPLAINS WHY HE SIGNED LETTER TO WNBA DEMANDING ANSWERS ON CAITLIN CLARK’S TREATMENT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What an awful golf shot to have the entire world see. Lordy, it’s my biggest nightmare. I HATE bunker shots. I’m scared to death of them.<\/p>\n

I’m not the best golfer in the world, but I do OK on the course. Nothing special, but I can flirt with breaking 80 if things go right.<\/p>\n

But put me in a bunker, and it’s game over. I’m liable to never get out. They are the absolute worst.<\/p>\n

So, in that regard, I feel bad for Cathy here. It’s a brutal look and a laughably bad golf shot. A relatable one, but a bad one.<\/p>\n

If the cameras ever panned to me on the driving range, I’d want a gap wedge in my hand. That’s my safety club. I know it won’t embarrass me. Maybe my 58, too. Two clubs I trust.<\/p>\n

As for her bailing on the interview …<\/p>\n

Cathy Engelbert is the commissioner of the WNBA<\/a>. You’re the boss. You make the rules. Tell your PR team to kick rocks and go on with Dan Patrick and sell your league. Save your league. DEFEND your league.<\/p>\n
