I, too, appreciate the previews and postgame comments.  But I gotta add: a 6'1" player is named Peanut?

Hah!  I've always been curious about her name, and you provoked me to find out more.  Her actual name is Sirena, but Peanut has been her nickname since childhood.  Nothing about her is diminutive now, though.

"Peanut"
Tuitele was given the nickname "Peanut" when she was born. That nickname has stuck with her as she's grown up.
 
"My dad held me for the first time and he was like, 'this is it, this is my little peanut.' At first in elementary school, I was embarrassed. I didn't want anyone to call me 'Peanut,' just call me 'Sirena.' I hated it. But now that I'm older, I love Peanut. It's unique and it's who I am now and it defines the person I am. And it's also special to my family because I'm holding out a nickname from them that is supposed to end in elementary school."
