Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance star in original unscripted comedy

Aces guard Sydney Colson and free agent Theresa Plaisance are bringing their humor and shenanigans to the small screen.

Las Vegas Aces guard Sydney Colson and free agent Theresa Plaisance are bringing their humor and shenanigans to the small screen. The Maximum Effort Channel announced “The Syd + TP Show,” an unscripted comedy starring Colson and Plaisance, is set to premiere on Sept. 18th at 9 p.m. ET.

“World Champions and bench-warming besties Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance are determined to become the faces of the WNBA, despite the fact no one asked them to,” a press release for the show said. “This buddy comedy series follows Syd and TP on their quest to become the most famous basketball players on earth through a mix of stunts, interviews, hijinks and a complete lack of shame.”

The show is already being touted as “unhinged” and to be honest, it is no surprise that the pair of pranksters are embracing that word. They admit they have no shame and their lack of embarrassment brings joy to anyone that has the fortune to interact with them.

“Whether the show does well or it flops, thereโ€™s really no way to lose in this, because we donโ€™t get embarrassed by anything,โ€ Colson shares in one of the clips.

And that is the best summary of the friendship between the two. They live unapologetically and brighten any room they walk into with their antics.

Week 3 of Athletes Unlimited basketball ended with surprise guests in attendance

The Athletes Unlimited hoops season runs through March 25 in Dallas.

Athletes Unlimited basketball, a professional women’s basketball league, ended its third week of play on March 11. It had a few surprise guests in the building, including University of Oregon’s Sedona Prince and Los Angeles Sparks and WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike. Prince made headlines in 2021 when she highlighted the inequities between the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments.

Prince gave a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Athletes Unlimited hoops and ran down a bit of the scoring system and how captains are picked each week. While the rules for the game are the same as the WNBA, the individual points players can earn, the ranking system and the weekly drafts are different than other basketball leagues.

The night was dedicated to the Special Olympics. Debbie Antonelli, a women’s college basketball analyst and founder of 24 Hours of Nothing But Net, was in attendance to help with the 24-hour shoot-a-thon.

The shoot-a-thon was successful: 2,400 free throws were made in 24 hours. Las Vegas Aces’ Theresa Plaisance chose the Special Olympics as her Athlete Cause this season. This program, powered by Give Lively, provides players of Athletes Unlimited a fundraising platform that allows them “to donate funds equal to 100% of their season win bonus to support the causes they love.”

The halftime free-throw contest wasn’t as successful in terms of buckets made, but the participants and audience had fun, which was all that mattered.

The Athletes Unlimited hoops season runs through March 25. Dallas is the home for Season 2 of Athletes Unlimited Basketball and one ticket allows entry to two games.
