ESPN2 made a major effort in covering last night's Lynx at Sun game. Here's my take on the broadcast. Whenever Rebecca Lobo is doing color, the show is worth watching. Lobo, who has access to the bling bling crowd, brings unique insights to anything she covers. When her play-by-play man, whose name I did not write down (sorry), related the anecdote on Edwards receiving a cane from Lynx coach Suzie McConnell-Serio for her 40th birthday, Lobo added that the cane had a purse and a horn. Who wouldn't laugh at that?
The deuce producer also had Nancy Lieberman and Pam Ward offering comments and interviews. Kudos for Lieberman on her questions to Olympic add-on Ruth Riley at halftime. The sideline reporter was crisp, just like Jim Gray. She ran over on the live talk with the sister of Katie Douglas but the subject was breast cancer awareness. Can't argue how important that is to both sexes (men get it too).
Katie Smith was "en fuego."
"I should have stuck with my first instinct -- get tossed early so I wouldn't have to watch the rest of this," Thibault said. Great quote by Sun coach Mike and picked up by Hartford Courant writer Mike Anthony in his game story. One dreaded glitch, an early attempt to hear Thibault speak to players during a timeout didn't work. Just as well with the censors all over TV after the Super Bowl halftime fiasco.

Lennox produces. Ted's link below to a profile of the Seattle Storm's Betty Lennox, is a good read. Last night battling Betty showed why she's worth the price of admission. Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter Danny O'Neill shows off his observation skills with this. "But Betty Lennox was squinting through tears instead of sighing in relief after the Fever's Stephanie White missed both free throws. Lennox had been struck on her nose -- which was broken last month -- in the chase for the clinching rebound." Full game story here.

Am I crazy? Never get bored watching that American Express ad with Bird whipping off her warmup pants and high-fiving it through the crowd at the deli. Couple of new Budweiser ads during last night's Lynx/Sun game were really funny -- Super Bowl quality. Why watch ads? Cause it's all about the money, baby.
