Though I’m now somewhat of a writer of this blog, I’ve spent most of the past year or two as a reader of the blog. It’s been one of my favorites, I’m a little bit ashamed to say. With four hundred posts now notched on the blog’s belt (is that even a figure of speech?), here are some of the things I’ve learned from these five wise writers:
If you include the name of a popular/attractive female athlete (essentially synonyms) or cheerleader along with any of the words ‘pics,’ ‘nude,’ ‘bikini,’ or ‘tattoo,’ you’ll get thousands and thousands of site hits from skeeve-balls. Like the writers of this blog.
Lastly, and most importantly, these are the wisest words in the English language: “I love women. I love basketball. I love women’s basketball.”
Shamm, thanks for always writing, even the posts are short and you whine a lot. Capital, thanks for hating the Cowboys and for coming up with good post ideas. SoCal, thanks for bringing some legit knowledge to the blog. Eags, thanks for making me appreciate D-Mac a little bit more and hate Philly a little bit less. FingerWag, thanks for having an awesome screen-name. Here’s to another several hundred more rambly, aimless posts.
A new generation of Candace is upon us, and somehow it took this blog, these six rabid Parker fans, five days to report it. Sorry, We Talkin’ ‘Bout Practice readers, all dozens of you.
No picture or name is available, but I’ve read a few places that the baby weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. at birth with a height of 20 inches. No word on what colleges are at the top of baby Candace’s list, though analysts’ early predictions are that she’ll pick Tennessee when commitment day rolls around eighteen years from now.
Perhaps most incredible, Parker will probably not miss a day of the WNBA season. She continued working out through the night before the birth, and has said in interviews that she’ll get back to the gym and the Sparks’ recently-opened training camp as soon as her physician gives her the OK.
Here’s hoping that the reigning MVP is also a MVM (most valuable mom), too. Best wishes, Candace!
At the talkpractice meeting of the minds I referred to earlier, we were sort of watching PTI. Candace’s name appeared on the bottom of the screen. We couldn’t hear what they said and were kind of dissapointed. Well, here is what Wilbon said
Dibs! I mean, wait Sheldon is there to. (Touches nose) not it!
At a recent talkpractice meeting of the minds I said that OJ Mayo should probably be the leading candidate for rookie of the year. I was shot down immediately and with extreme prejudice by both socal and eagles (capital was like, “blah blah blah Nascar”). Anyway, I was kind of scared that I was wrong. But I wasn’t. Thank goodness. Mayo should be in the lead for ROY for scoring roughly 21 a game on a team with little around him. Rose has more assists, but fewer rebounds and more turnovers. Rose’s assist/turnover ratio is much better, but he’s a point guard. Mayo needs to be a big scorer on that team. I’ll take Mayo every day of the week. I think everyone was just angry that Candace Parker is officially off the market.
It’s official, Candace Parker and Sheldon Williams are married. They tied the knot November 13 when they eloped to Tahoe (huge lake in Northern CA) but managed to keep it a secret until now. Apparently, their schedules were too jam-packed for a big wedding to materialize.
We here at talkpractice offer our congratulations to our favorite sports star and express our condolences for all those were hoping that the engagement would fall through (cough, cough eagles…)
P.S. If you don’t get the title, read our About section!
Candace Parker- “I definitely want to show up in one of his Spike Lee joints. Ha. No, I’ve been a huge fan of Spike Lee’s for a long time. I’m a huge fan of his movies, especially LOVE AND BASKETBALL!!!!!” (emphasis, caps, and exclamations mine).
Guys, this movie is good. Like, I know it’s a romance, but give it a chance. It’s at least one of the better romance ones i’ve seen. It kicks The notebook in the metaphorical balls.
Why is it that everything Candace does is awesome? Other than sheldon williams of course (OOOOOOOOOOH SHIIITTT!)
Lastly here’s a quote from the beginning of this article, “You can hardly blame the 22-year-old Parker for being bushed.” I know it’s not just me who paused at the end of that sentence and cringed. Draw your own conclusions as too why.
so just like the nba, la and san antonio met in the western conference finals, and detroit met up with bos…wait, wait i mean new york (kind of close to boston, right?) in the eastern finals
Sorry Silver Stars' fans - I'm picking Becky Hammon and Co. to win it all.
and now, the two number one seeds duke it out for the title, just like the nba (and exactly like the experts’ prediction. guess mechelle voepel knows her stuff). since la lost and detroit won (opposite of the nba) i’m going to say that the west – san antonio – wins the title. any team that can beat candace parker really shouldn’t lose to anyone. but then again, when have my predictions really turned out right?
Alright, so don’t get me wrong – I realize that I was ever foolish to think that Candice Wiggins was in any way better than Candace Parker. But that doesn’t mean Wiggins isn’t a prolific scorer in her own right, and she’ll make her mark on the WNBA just like she did at Stanford. And apparently, she already has.
Candice Wiggins – affectionately dubbed “Ice” by our favorite women’s basketball star – won the WNBA’s Sixth Woman of the Year Award, which is about as best as she could have hoped for considering Parker wrapped up the Rookie of the Year in the first game of the season. So congrats to Wiggins. This 2008 draft class will be making waves for quite some time.
