Sophie Cunningham just reminded everyone that she doesn’t play by anyone else’s rules-on or off the court. Fresh off a headline-grabbing incident involving an inappropriate fan throw at a game against the Phoenix Mercury, the Indiana Fever guard decided to flip the script with a surprise TikTok moment that fans are still talking about.
From courtside chaos to TikTok swagger
She let loose with a solo dance party that was equal parts bold, bizarre, and brilliantly unapologetic. With moves that started flirty but quickly turned chaotic (in the best way), the clip sparked a wave of reactions. Some viewers weren’t ready for it, calling her “so damn weird,” while others couldn’t get enough of her fearless energy.
This isn’t the first time Sophie’s gone viral, and something tells us it won’t be the last. Known for her gritty on-court presence-often standing tall as Caitlin Clark’s enforcer and knocking down threes like it’s nothing-Cunningham brings that same unfiltered confidence into her social media game. Whether she’s getting fouled or freestyling in front of a phone camera, Sophie’s going to do Sophie.
Fans might be divided, but most agree on one thing: this is exactly why she stands out. There’s no off switch, just a real one.
Love it or hate it, Sophie’s gonna Sophie
Part of the charm-or controversy, depending on who you ask-is that her energy isn’t curated or watered down. After a rough few weeks that included the now-infamous flying sex toy incident, maybe this quirky TikTok was her way of shaking it off and having a little fun back home in Arizona. A little dance therapy, WNBA-style.
She may have raised eyebrows, but she also reminded fans what makes her one-of-a-kind: an unfiltered personality in the league that often wants women perfection. Because whether it’s buzzer-beaters or bizarre dances, Cunningham keeps showing us she’s not afraid to be different-and fans can’t look away.

Detroit is college football’s new cradle of QBs. Is Donald Tabron the next Bryce Underwood?
For this year and years to come, a 45-mile corridor in southeast Michigan has a chance to be known as a cradle of College Football Playoff quarterbacks. To illustrate the point, all you have to do is put a pin in the map and connect the strings.One piece of string stretches from Detroit’s Martin Luther King High School to Eugene, Ore., where Dante Moore starts for the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks. Another connects the town of Saline with South Bend, Ind., where CJ Carr is a first-year starter for No. 12 Notre Dame. The short strand connecting Belleville with Ann Arbor represents Bryce Underwood, the star freshman who will get his first true taste of the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry when the No. 25 Wolverines face the Spartans on Saturday night.AdvertisementThere’s another piece of string, length yet to be determined, set aside […]

What I’m seeing from the Flyers after 6 games: Vladar excelling, Michkov playing catch-up
Travis Konecny is, in fact, still Travis Konecny.The Philadelphia Flyers’ emotional leader recorded his first goal of the season on Monday in a 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, after he failed to convert on a handful of chances in previous games. It was only a matter of time before he broke through.AdvertisementBut then Konecny reminded everyone else at Xfinity Mobile Arena of the other part of his game and personality that is so valued in Philadelphia. After taking exception to Ryan Lindgren plowing into Owen Tippett in the third period of a game that was essentially decided by that point, he made a beeline toward the Kraken defenseman, who then initiated a fight. Konecny, of course, was more than happy to oblige — and afterward, cameras caught him demonstrably jawing at Lindgren with the two in the penalty box.“I […]

Juraj Slafkovský’s game is taking steps, and it has nothing to do with scoring goals
MONTREAL — Juraj Slafkovský stood at his locker answering questions after scoring in a second straight game, and he was wearing the price of doing business.He had a scratch on his cheek and another one or two on his neck. He was nicked up just about everywhere.And he didn’t care. His Montreal Canadiens were back on the winning side.AdvertisementTwo days earlier, before the Canadiens’ game against the New York Rangers, Slafkovský’s coach, Martin St. Louis, was asked what he was seeing in the young power forward’s game even though, at the time, he had one power-play goal and no assists in five games.“Slaf is fine,” St. Louis responded. “I think, offensively, would he like his touches to be a bit better? Yes. But I feel it’s like the rest of our team. Defensively, he’s been really, really good. And again, […]

2025 NFL quarterback rankings ahead of Week 8
Drake Maye is standing out for his accuracy: Maye's 95.2% adjusted completion percentage in Week 7 moved him to the second-highest mark on the season, and his 69.4% accuracy percentage ranks third. Jalen Hurts put on a show in Week 7: Hurts silenced much of the criticism when he went 5-for-6 for 215 yards and four big-time throws on passes that traveled 20 or more yards downfield. Hurts is only the second quarterback this season to record a deep passing grade of 99.9 in a single game.
