Marion Jones has a job playing basketball for the Tulsa Shock now. How good a basketball player she’ll be isn’t exactly “clear,” especially since she pretty much disappeared after being stripped of her gold medals from the Sydney Olympics and doing time in a federal penitentiary, and therefore my dirty dirty fantasies.
“We’re thrilled to have her,” Shock head coach Nolan Richardson said of Jones, who was stripped of five medals from the 2000 Olympics after admitting steroid use. “In the workouts last week I saw how hard she works. She has things you can’t teach, like speed and great hand and eye coordination. She looks chiseled. Her age (34) might be saying one thing but everything about her is saying she’s young.” –Sporting News.
So your number of reasons to watch the WNBA is holding steady at zero. Call me when Caster Semenya signs with the Sparks. Whoever they are…

Hold the boat here. The head coach of the Tulsa Shock is…NOLAN RICHARDSON!??!? “40 minutes of Hell” Nolan Richardson? Who coaches the Seattle Storm – Jerry Tarkanian?
Ugh, why are you fantasizing about Marion Jones?
“One more reason NOT to watch the WNBA?” Hmmm. Let me give you a few more: Diana Taurasi, Cappie Pondexter, Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson, Brianne January … Shall I go on? Men who diss the WNBA sicken me. Just because the game isn’t played OVER the net instead of under it, doesn’t mean these women aren’t superb athletes. And they play for a fraction of what the men get payed, because they love the game. Go watch those overgrown, overpayed lugs that play in the NBA, and enjoy yourself. But leave the WNBA alone. Those of us who love it will love it without your ugly comments.
Announcer 1: “And at the top of the second half it’s 16-9. Easton leads the scoring with 4.”
Announcer 2: “And that’s why she commands $7,000 a year. These gals sure do make it look difficult.”
Announcer 1: “But is having this minor skill worth being so unattractive? That’s for the fan to decide.”
I suggest you take a quick look at the records the Phoenix Mercury broke last year — including men’s. As I recall, they have the best record of both the men’s and women’s NBA free throw percentage. They averaged close to 100 points a game, all season.
You know what? Do us all a favor. DON’T watch WNBA games. Those of us who enjoy them don’t really give a shit.
Oh yeah. One other thing I forgot. They don’t bring guns into the locker rooms to shoot themselves or others with. Dipshit NBA.
Hey Eleanor, it’s spelled overpaid you lezzo cow.
By the way, that NBA you loathe so much subsidizes that shit and without the mean dipshit men you despise you wouldn’t have anywhere to park your Subaru Wednesday afternoons. Awfully funny that you crap on the thugs in the NBA and probably turn a blind eye to Diana Taurasi’s drinking and driving. Hell, the article you commmented on is about a lying bitch who just got out of jail, you hypocrite whore.
