Are Women’s Basketball Sites Getting Too Sexy?

Take a look at the photo below, from Texas A&M’s women’s basketball site (it’s also a poster). Too much? Are some women’s college teams, like Florida State, depicting their athletes in the sexiest ways possible, so as to distance themselves from the lesbian stereotype? I ask because I care.

Blog Includes Drugs, Booze, Guns, Suicide, WNBA

Pro basketball player Chantelle Anderson has her own blog over at Yardbarker.com, and lest you think it’s boring, you haven’t read her last post.

Anderson, a former 2nd-overall WNBA draft pick and college superstar, recently told readers she’s planning on writing a book, and to my delight, she included some choice excerpts - which included her […]

WNBA’s One-Armed Juggler Will Haunt Your Sleep

We’re not going to extrapolate too much from this in terms of deeming the WNBA a “sideshow” - as we all know, the WNBA is a hugely successful league and this is just one halftime routine - but we were a little unsettled when we saw this pop up on the YOUTUBE just the other […]

Gay Porn vs. WNBA? Not Funny, As It Turns Out

You laughed at its jabs at office drudgery, you chortled at its sassy comparisons of  women’s basketball and porn. Ah, it was a great 14 hours. But as is the case with so many new shows, FOXSPORTS.COM’s new webcast, “Cubed,” has been taken down and replaced with a toned down and retooled version, owing to […]

WNBA Doesn’t Want You To See Lesbians Kissing

There comes a time for every parent when he has to explain the birds and the bees to his children. But when your child is a women’s basketball fan, your job is even more awkward. Just ask poor Mike Wise of the WASHINGTON POST.

Recently he had to explain to a child (presumably his own) why […]

Video: WNBA Dunk Mishap; Nice PGA Hole-In-One

Look, I have nothing against the WNBA at all. They can do a lot of stuff out there just as good as the guys. They can pass well, shoot well, get DUIs, all that. But they just need to stop with the whole dunking thing. It’s just not working out for you.

In yesterday’s All-Star game, […]

WNBA Seeks Legitimacy With Superstar DUI Bust

Someone at the WNBA finally realized that we’re never going to take them seriously as professional athletes until they start acting like it. So it’s quite the PR coup for the league to have one of their top stars arrested for DUI.

(”Who wants another round?”)
Star guard Diana Taurasi must have wanted to celebrate being the […]

Land Of The Lost Teeth: Laimbeer Was A Sleestak

There are times you come across a story that should be completely shocking, but for some reason isn’t. Even though I had never heard this piece of news before, I didn’t bat an eye when I found out that Bill Laimbeer played a Sleestak on the original Land of the Lost. Of course he did.

Speed Read: Braves Get Their Man (& Ditch One)

Credit the Atlanta Braves for knowing how to manage a news cycle. They flipped three prospects to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Nate McLouth to answer the need for outfield help (which they failed to answer correctly the first time by not signing Adam Dunn in the offseason), and called up Tommy Hanson (pitching phenom) and […]
