Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

From the .com: WNBA Player Recommendations
Pretty much everybody has bought something from Amazon.com at this point, right? Maybe some of you have used Netflix or Pandora. Anyway, the point is, we've all been subjected to suggestions of similar products, similar movies and similar music based on the selections we've made. And as much as we hate to admit it, a lot of the time such marketing techniques work (Exception: "Godfather III" per our interest in "Godfather" and "Godfather II").

So that got us thinking. There is a select group of players in the WNBA that garners a bulk of the attention, yet there are plenty of other stars that are talented and entertaining that don't receive the recognition they deserve. With that, we decided to come up with my recommendations of lesser-known WNBA players based off those that are considered the league's biggest names.
You know, W, you'd improve your fanbase's knowledge if you'd dump that sorry-azz excuse for a fantasy game and return the the old VGM. THAT game helped you pay attention to EVERY player in the league.

And don't think I've given up hoping that one day you'll figure out how to use the internets and all its tubes and have every team send out email news blasts containing all the articles written on their team.... sigh.
