If you're looking for inspiration, read this story on what's ahead for Delisha Milton-Jones. She'll have surgery today for a torn ACL that has ended her season with the Sparks and will keep her out of the Olympic Games. Good luck Delisha.

A five-game win streak built by the Seattle Storm ended last night at Houston. The Comets won 80-55 and outboarded the Storm 39-27. Tina Thompson, Sheryl Swoopes and Michelle Snow were a big part of the rebounding effort.

I'm always amazed that Philadelphia does not seem to be interested in having a WNBA team. I've heard the stories from Sixers management saying the franchise wants to concentrate on promoting its men but you can't deny the tradition of women's hoops in Philly (West Chester University establishing and winning the first national championship, Cathy Rush and her Immaculata teams, etc.). For more on that continuing tradition, read here.

Mystics' star Chamique Holdsclaw is still missing, and, according to the Washington Post,
nobody seems to know when she'll return. But in the story we at least find out that Mique's absence is related to a "minor medical problem."

On Barry's list of the "kiddies" who have made the Junior National Team, I was intriqued that four are from California (Candace Wiggins, LaJolla; Courtney Paris, Piedmont; Charde' Houston, San Diego; Erika Arriaran, Norco). The original group featured a lot of high school seniors-to-be. Six of them made the final cut (Arriaran, Marissa Coleman, Courtney Paris, Angelica Robinson, Abby Waner and Christina Wirth). Coleman has already verballed to Maryland and Waner to Duke.

For 34-year-old Dawn Staley, her biological clock is running. She does want children and has a game plan. "I have abolutely no social life right now," she said in a Charlotte Observer story. "Don't have time. But I would like my own kids some day. Two of them. Twins. I need to find somebody who has twins running in their family."

Parity was the buzzword before the WNBA's season started. With eight of 13 teams below .500, that buzzword has legs.

No TV. It just isn't fair. I'd much prefer to SEE the Mystics at Detroit tonight, at least until the political stuff gets going, but that's not possible. Drat.

More drats. I'm looking at the Orange County Register's sports web page after enduring four popup ads including one about hair restoration, and the navigation bar across the top of the page has an easy link to the Lakers/Clippers, nothing linking to the Sparks/Monarchs. Ah those journalistic gatekeepers. For those not familiar with j-school methods, the gatekeepers decide what's important to the reader/viewer/listener. Without their support, you're in trouble.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Star Tribune has a separate web page for the Lynx with multiple stories on players and the Lynx are right up there in the main navigation area with the Timberwolves and the Vikings. No wonder Sara and Ted are in the state.
