Yeah, Foghat was pretty hot in the mid-'70s...Fool for the City, Slow Ride. Boys could rock!

What's interesting is that when the Fever started the season 1-7, CClark was the team's leading scorer in 5 of those 8 games. Since then, during their 6-2 run, she's been the team's leading scorer in only 2 of the 8 games.

Which is exactly what happened in 2020, when the 'All-Stars' defeated the USA Olympic Team. Which is kind of funny, 'cause by that time the Olympic Team should have had practices together, and the All Star team -- well, we all know how much time All Star teams actually practice together!

Whoa -- I haven't seen that Ronnie Laws album referenced by anybody for years. I used to crank that thing up on my Advent speakers and it sounded AWESOME. Haven't listened to it in years, but now I'm gonna have to get that out and spin it tonight! Laughed out loud when I saw BTO's 'Not...

My favorite album cover art of all time is the Climax Blues Band's 1974 "Sense of Direction" -- a great album that actually holds up pretty well as it turns 50! I played lead trumpet in one of Iowa's best h.s. jazz bands during that time period, and had a huge Climax Blues Band replica sticker...

It's always curious to me which young actors in a comedy sitcom go on have the most successful TV or movie careers. Arguably, of the Seinfeld main characters Julia Louis-Dreyfus & Jerry Stiller have fared the best, which I wouldn't have predicted. Also always fun to see one-time appearances of...

"...that doesn't mean that you can't rotate a couple guys if they are both competent with the playbook. You do it in practice." Heck, they do it in pre-game warmups!

Seems to me the vets should be even MORE interested in preserving their bodies and health than the rookies!

This. What I can't figure out is why the Players Union isn't out front on this issue?

No shit. Sponsors are easy come...and are equally easy go.

Unfortunately, the "festering evil" will not destroy itself. After warnings from WNBA vets before the season even started that Clark "would get hers" upon arrival, Carter's decking of CC is what everyone has expected since game 1 -- I'm surprised there hasn't been more of it. It needs to be...

Once they have some time to practice together, I'm hoping Mitchell & Clark can become a dynamic duo. Right now, Clark is looking to pass too often, and Mitchell has shown an ability to penetrate at will but isn't passing enough! They both have elite-level skill -- now they just need a coach who...

If they're not careful, the WNBA is going to see their golden goose out for the most of the season with injuries. An uprovoked, dead-ball cheap shot from the blind side on CC for no reason? Cost: 1 FT. Why not take a cheap shot on the other team's best player every game, if all it's going to...

My friend with the long white beard is gonna have to wear a parka under his Santa suit!

This is gonna be a 3 guard, 1 center, 1 forward team. Starters will be Harding, Payton, Dix, Freeman and a forward to be named later -- with the Fr & So guys (and Mulvey) backing up those 5. The glaring weakness -- as always -- is gonna be defense. Harding is a defensive liability whenever he...

I appreciate your optimism. That said, Perkins WAS a 'difference maker' on last year's very young team, and single-handedly won multiple games for the Hawks. When he got injured at the end of last season, we saw what that team looked like when Perkins was not full strength. I disagree that...

My 35 yr old son, a big Hawk fan who lives in the Bay Area, is already planning to attend the UCLA game with friends. He's hoping to relive the glorious evening where he watched Iowa go up and down the field vs USC during Iowa's last SoCal bowl game.

CC's 1st exhibition game was a fast-paced, up-and-down affair, and even tho CC didn't shoot it well, it was her style of game. Most of last night's game was like watching a bad NBA game. Same old-fashioned pick-and-roll, blah blah blah, with the Fever missing at least 8 shots within 2 ft of...

Indeed. And he'll go high in the draft and make serious moola. But as far as his 3-game streak, gotta pump the brakes just a little -- 2 of those outings were against arguably 2 of the worst teams in all of D-1: Rutgers and NWestern. Those guys were chasing LOTS of balls that were out of the...

I'd heard there was some bad weed circulating on the East Coast. Must be worse than I thought.
