Sean Salisbury Goes SCORCHED EARCH About The WNBA! | UNPAVED

On this episode of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury and Adam G. Sager dig into the ongoing Caitlin Clark officiating debate, breaking down a controversial no-call against the Golden State Valkyries and the larger pattern of physical play, jealousy, and poor marketing surrounding her in the WNBA. From there, the guys shift to NFL and college football topics, including the Saints' new deal with Alvin Kamara, Tyler Shough's outlook heading into year two, and whether Florida State's Mike Norvell is coaching for his job in 2026. They close out with some lighter takes on the World Cup semifinal, the ESPYs, Mike Tyson's now-viral Shohei Ohtani moment, and the Savannah Bananas phenomenon.
