Up in Montreal, Mohamed Mehdi takes the Toronto Star and its readers to task for complaining about a slow summer and no Euro tourney coverage:

Are you all too manly to watch some great talent, skill and basketball on display much closer to home and with TV coverage available just because it is women who are playing? If you miss the NBA so much, check out their sisters! You won't be disappointed. It's a lot more fun to watch Detroit and Phoenix play than to speculate about the health of knees, backs, heels, minds and pocketbooks of players who are on vacation!

Doug Smith admits he's been a slacker and ponders doing better next year, noting:

I actually watched a fair amount of the WNBA final, I think the contrast between Paul Westhead and Bill Laimbeer is hilarious.

I will also watch Diana Taurasi play basketball any time.
