Have a good friend (recently retired) who lives in Indiana who told me he wanted to attend a game this year. I gave him first choice of games, and he chose the Washington game.

This. I've had the exact same thought about the WNBA looking like the '90s NBA. I think the word went out already to WNBA officials as this season has gone on; the last few WNBA games I've watched have looked nothing like the rugby matches I saw at the beginning of the season.

Clark is starting to figure it out. Once she learns to shoot the open 5-ft floater in the lane when she penetrates -- as opposed to trying to force a bounce pass to get Boston or Smith a 2-ft layup which more than 50% of the time ends up as a turnover -- she'll raise her scoring average above...

Please send me an ounce of what you're currently smokin' -- must be good stuff! (Payment to you when Hawks run for 2,501 yards.) What makes this unlikely is I read somewhere that something like 8 of Iowa's opponents this year have Defenses ranked in the Top 30 in the nation. Ain't gonna be...

"So I have to ask you, if you were a person responsible for protecting the people from severe illness or death, and you had limited information about a new virulent disease, what would you have done?" I'll tell you what they would have done, the same thing DeSantis and most other Republican...

You say "most people on the right take in both sides and make an educated decision after." Below is a comment by a member of that fraternity a couple posts ago: "You are NEVER going to convince me that election was on the up and up. NEVER. Never going to convince me the dems didn't have ballots...

I'm an avowed lefty, and will attempt to answer your questions: 1) Re Jan. 6, I broke ranks with my anti-Trump friends and never believed he should be prosecuted for "instigating" the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. I listened to his entire speech that day and he never came close to saying...

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Damn socialists. Oh wait, that's the Statue of LIberty. Guess we better take a...

The purest form of capitalism and least government in people's lives in the U.S. was the 1920s. Which led to the Great Depression. My grandparents lived through the early 1930s and it wasn't pretty or idealogically romantic. It was ugly as sin. Government programs like Social Security and...

So let me get this straight. There are 12 WNBA teams. With 5 starters per team, that's 60 starters in the WNBA on any given night. The 12 WNBA players chosen to be on the 'Team USA' Olympic team are automatic 'All Stars'. Then, an additional 12 WNBA players were also chosen as 'All Stars' --...

Higgins, Lachey & Castro. Altho both Gander and my predictions would be creating precedent: I can't think of a year during the last 15 years of Ferentz' tenure when a majority of the players he sent to BTen Media Days were students of color. But I'm willing to be enlightened...

Yeah, that argument never held water from the get-go. At the time the Olympic team was announced, her stats were better than some other guards put on the team. The reasons she was left off the team: * concern about 'team chemistry'; which is really a reflection of... * a fear of change...

'Minute by Minute' (1978) not too shabby of an album also. Still crank up the the song 'Dependin' on You' once in awhile.

Loved REO's early stuff -- not so much late '70s and after. That '74 show should have been really good.

Well, Clark actually had her hands on the ball a lot the last 2 minutes of the game and was playing the PG position at that point. Problem is she gets a lot of double-teams whenever she moves toward the wings or corners, then has to pass out. With about 20 seconds left and trailing by 1, I...

Lanky...ala Merton Hanks. Hope he's as successful!

Good get -- keep that Indy pipeline goin' strong! Wouldn't be surprised to see him causing some havoc from the defensive side of the ball before his time at Iowa is done.
