Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, June 30, 2005

Tonight, in Connecticut, Katie vs. Katie. Leading defender Katie Douglas no longer has the flu, but does have pinkeye, and probably has to contain Katie Smith. This one's on TV.

Smith chats with reporters about her work ethic, her return from surgery, Minnesota's great owner, and the downside to our small market. Smith expects to retire at 34, so she can become a dentist before she's 40. Some people worship her, which makes some sense: 34 points from now, she'll become the only woman to have scored 5,000 points in professional basketball. (KT45K!)

Where in the world is Michigan Sun Arena?
