Man this blog’s had a huuuuge slew of posts recently. There have been some great posts ranging from soccer to Imus. But no mention of our true passion? Our real, original calling for this blog? That’s right! THIS IS OUR GAME. I’m going to save this article for someone else (Re: I’m lazy) but here are some quick hmm…observations:
Straight from ESPNHoopGurlz, there’s an e-ticket on the 6-8 women’s basketball player Brittney Griner.

That, she definitely is not. Brittney Griner wields the biggest booby trap of all — she is a high school girl who can dunk a basketball.
Last summer was her first on anything resembling a national circuit and, in Birmingham, Ala., she collected 19 blocks against Essence, the team that went on to win Nike Nationals and earn acclaim as the best team in club basketball last year.
I gotta admit, 19 blocks is pretty sweet
“I watched Candace Parker since she was 13 years old,” says Lynch, who’s coached seven McDonald’s All-Americans with the Belles. “You could see her special skills. But what makes Brittney Griner different is that she plays more like a boy than any girl I’ve ever seen. She’s now taken the game above the rim, which no female has ever done.”
That sounds like a challenge. I think people (and not just WNBA fans) might, might watch a game between Parker and Griner.
And in completely unrelated news (but tailored for capitalsports), here’s a video of Clinton Portis’ costumes:
That was awesome, I just gained so much respect for 1 Redskin.

“Booby trap”????!!! Seriously?! You’re using THAT in an article about women’s basketball?!?! Cmon Glen Nelson. At least pretend to be serious.

“biggest booby trap”, no less. nooo way that wording wasn’t intentional – i’m disappointed we didn’t come up with it first though.
i’ll try to make a post on portis later, cause he clearly is the man.
