<blockquote>When it comes to coverage of sports on television news and highlights shows, if it’s male, it not only leads — it totally dominates.

And the trolls will still complain that too much time is spent covering the women. sigh Michael Messner: Dropping the Ball on … Continue reading
I Do Expect Better
In his commentary: Baylor’s Griner deserves a second chance, Richard Justice said one thing that really leapt out at me: If we’re willing to forgive all the addicts, wife beaters, cheats, juicers and perverts in sports, then we ought to be able to find it in our hearts to forgive a 19-year-old girl. You know, I don’t just pretend that the addicts, wife beaters, cheats, juicers, and perverts in sports didn’t do what they did regardless of how important they may … Continue reading

2009 WNBA Pre-Training Camp Quick Thoughts
This is going to be one wacky preseason in the WNBA. I’d expect that in the coming weeks there is going to be a lot of player movement as marketable players get waived due to the 11-man roster as well as cap issues.

Why Did Maryland Lose the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Regional Final?
Why did the Maryland Terrapins lose their Elite Eight game in the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament? Was it defense? Was it offense? The phase of the moon? No…it was something much more insidious and yet predictable.

Maryland Lady Terps Win 2009 ACC Tournament
It was another battle to save in the vault between the Terps and the Blue Devils. Though this was the first time they met in the ACC Tournament finals, it wasn’t their first meeting in a final in their history. But, as in the 2006 NCAA Championship game, Maryland toughed it out for a hard-won win (Duke 89 – MD 92).
