Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Oh, I just love cheap shots, don't you?

So here's this interview in the New Albany Tribune (Indiana) with Megan Eve, a high school junior. There seems to be some level of respect afforded to Megan ("Megan Eve, on the other hand, has been every bit as good as advertised.") from the author (Matt Cress), but then we get this:

Q: So who’s your favorite basketball player?

EVE: “Probably Diana Taurasi.”

Q: She’s OK, but that means you have to watch the WNBA. Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce the world’s only WNBA fan. This is a first.
My multiple reactions?

1) Dumb sh*t
2) COOL that the question wasn't "qualified" with "women's" or "men's"
3) But, he probably was thinking NBA anyways. Dumb sh*t
4) Good choice, Megan!!
5) "She's OK"???? Dumb sh*t
6) Who says something like that to a kid? Dumb sh*t.
