(Note: Since I was forced to wake up at this ungodly hour, I decided to do something productive for once and contribute to the blog)
What will you be watching this weekend?
Some summer baseball perhaps? Partaking in America’s past time? Caught up in the intensity of NBA’s playoff basketball, where we may see 3 game sevens in the conference finals? Maybe horse racing and the preakness strike your fancy.
All dumb decisions. This weekend matters for one, and only one, important reason: the WNBA tipoff. 3:30. ABC. Los Angeles at Phoenix. Candace Parker. Diana Taurasi. Mercury and Sparks. LET’s GOOO!
In related WNBA news:
Sports illustrated recently featured a slide show titled: “Athletes with Style”. And Candace Parker was honored with a selection to a list including athletes such as Tom Brady, Maria Sharapova, and Roger Federer.
Here was si.com’s official caption:
Shelden Williams is one lucky man. Not only is he engaged to one of the WNBA’s best rookies, but he’s also got a woman with style. Nikes or heels, Parker (left, with Brittany Jackson) can make it look great.
And umm…I’m not sure if we’ve (or just me) missed Brittany Jackson, but she is a former Lady Volunteer who now contributes to the Atlanta Dream. According to wikipedia, she also works as a model in her spare time.

Yeah that pic of Candace is beastlike. I might have to come back with a post later featuring some good pictures.
And yeah, I cant wait. Is it ok that im probably gonna root for the sparks being that im not from LA? I might adopt them as my WNBA team. Screw the sun.
