    Title 9 would make public playgrounds and school gyms convert half of all baskets to the new height.

    The billions of dollars would become a Democrat-Republican issue.

    Denny would post that women's basketball is an illusion because last August was the coldest ever in Punxstahenny, Pennsylvania.

    Sly would call me a conspiracist every week for saying that all polls have always shown that the vast majority say the Warren Commission was wrong about Margo Dydek's death.

    Because of this thread I'm watching the Sparks vs. Mercury, and it's not bad at all. Just don't expect top-50 men's college quality. Good stuff.

    ok, make it 12 to account for vertical leap difference and you have an even 9 feet.

    I haven't seen WNBA for a few years. Most of my viewing was in the league's first 2 years. Tonight I caught the 2nd half. Notes:

    Players are taller than I remember. These tough broads put out effort. More tattoos now. I don't know their names. TV should flash names, and heights, to impress us.

    Magic Johnson and Rick Fox are there.

    In years past, the league had 1) average talent level for a men's college team (i.e. 1000th out of 2000 teams in the nation) but 2) effort level way above college level, similar to NBA or D-League, with sharp moves and explosion. Tonight, I see no change in that.

    More missed shots in this game than I remember.

    Players: Women on TV always try to look pretty. I like this league because I'm watching something different, women hard at work. But after the game, they're cute when they loosen their tied-back hair and change their clothes.

    Coaches: Stern's influence has them in vomit-inducing skirts, high heels, nylons, and conservative curled hair. Sitting coaches freeze their nyloned legs together, while players sit naturally like athletes. Fat Stern looks best in a suit, so he forces others to dress like dorks.

    The famous Griner is 2 inches taller than her 6-5 opponent, and much wider than that popsicle stick freak. She should bully and dominate. Her eyes are intense like Robin Lopez because she thinks like a leader.

    It isn't that women can't play some good ball, they can. It's more that they can't play at the rim and shoot a lot of set shots from the 3. I just don't find it exciting.

    Now, to be fair, I prefer watching womens soccer over the mens.

    On second thought, I overstated the effort. You see that much effort in European leagues and most of the 2000 college programs.

    If they all weren't so thin, they'd be much better players.

    Is this chick the WNBA's version of a latina Charles Barkley? I bet she backs people down with that badonkadonk.

    Ballsack looks and what status? Wait, model looks? You do kinda look like the first model I built as a kid. It was supposed to be the General Lee but it was falling apart and the paint was waaaaaaayyyyyy too brown.
