Yay!! Been waiting for this

Yay!! Been waiting for this vlog all day!! I don't know what you guys should talk about now that the season is over. You could just rant about Candace Parker and Lisa Leslie every vlog and I'd be ok with that but unfortunately I don't think that would go over so well with others lol. I hate this looooooong break between wnba seasons and knowing that they are all over there playing in Europe but we can't watch sucks.

Love the vlog

even though I disagree on issues about CP3. You could talk about whatever sport you wanna talk about.....maybe MMA. Gina Carano, Cyborg, Tara L., Tonya Evinger (sp?), etc etc. Or maybe talk about the shirts and skins episode #4 on logo with Sheryl Swoopes in it. Since playing in Europe was brought up, looks like CP3 may not be playing overseas that is if she decides to have shoulder surgery. Maybe she will get married on her break then and not postpone till Sept. 2009 like she had said. Who knew she dated Dwight Howard thats kinda cool, b/c he did win the last dunk contest and was on the 2008 olympic team. I put money on the WNBA making her wedding a huge deal though, mainly b/c she's straight and her being as good as she is just makes that a bonus!

I totally agree about Swoopes not getting the same amount of media attention anymore b/c she's gay. It's a shame really, b/c she did raise the bar. I don't see why the WNBA doesn't embrace it's gay fan base more. If a huge star like David Beckham can talk about how much he appreciates his gay fans then the WNBA can too.

There is an interesting clip on DT's sight when she was on quite frankly about gays in sports...it's under media. http://www.dianataurasi.com/

look at Matthew Mitcham he is gay out and won the gold in diving, but he's not getting nowhere near the same amount of attention as the other olympians which is a shame. Maybe it will take more "superstars" to come out to change the status quo.

Excellently put.

Excellently put. Personally, the MVP's a toss-up between Whalen and Bird, but in terms of value, Connecticut would have a really tough time without Whalen. So, MVP to Whalen and definitely not Parker. The attitude in LA just grates on me. Why so much on Candace Parker? Just, ugh, even Lebron James didn't get ROY and MVP in one go with insane stats.

Sheryl Swoopes is underappreciated. I have absolutely no idea why. She is just awesomesauce.

And DT is just flat-out kickass. I read that article the other week and just went spitting mad. Then I read Dee's and all was well. Gotta love Dee. Truly. It's a shame the Mercury weren't able to make the playoffs. (But, holy smokes, Kate Smith PWNED.)

I am so excited for Spartak's season. Taurasi, Jackson, Bird. Man. I'd love to be a fly on the wall of their mansion.

So...

I don't actually get the WNBA here (as far as I know), but I just love your vlogs, very entertaining. =]

You know, the European Women's Handball Championships are on in December... *hint hint*
