Do you live in one of America’s ten most miserable cities? Hope not. That would be miserable. And speaking of miserable – I’d forgotten that Laura Ingraham existed,’til I read this on Huffington. Glad Arlen gave her a scolding. Nothing wrong with debate – but if we had a few fewer of these shrill, [...]

First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
On the USWNT front, Lindsey Dolich has posted a nice preview on ESPNsoccernet about this post-Abby team. Abby’s injury “forces the issue” as far as the USWNT’s transformation goes. And I have my suspicions that the “liberating” aspects of the change may be quite strong for this team that has played laborious and “ugly” soccer [...]
From the WNBA, here’s a report on how this year’s crop of rookies are faring. From Candace Parker we, of course, expected great. It’s awesome, however, to see the impact of the Charde Houston’s and Candice Wiggins’ and Nicky Anoskie’s of the group. (The Minnesota Lynx seem to have fared especially well on the rookie [...]

My first read this morning included some tough talk from John Conyers regarding Karl Rove and the Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of Mr. Turdblossom himself. You go John! Meanwhile, the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility is also investigating a widening number of alleged “selective prosecutions” which may have been (OMG) politically motivated. I’m glad this [...]
Here’s a nice interview with Abby that appeared @ ten days ago in USA Today. Buzz cut, huh? Can’t remember seeing that – but here’s a goal celebration from back in those wonderful WUSA daze … when Mia and Abby first started playing together … and Abby did so well that April could not NOT [...]
Not to be outdone by Pat Summitt (dislocated shoulder x1) and Candace Parker (dislocated shoulder x2) we have learned that HollyCornblog not only broke her radius (see yesterday’s story) but also her wrist (some small bone whose name we THINK is pisiform). We hope that she heals well and soon … and keeps us posted [...]

That’s the long and the short of it, as Candace Parker and Shannon Bobbitt celebrate Tennessee’s eighth NCAA title and Morgan/Murray’s first JordanCornblog pool win! The Lady Vols became the first team to repeat since UConn’s run during the Taurasi years. Parker also became the fourth player to win back-to-back Most Outstanding Player [...]

What to say? It’s Memphis-Kansas in the Men’s Final tonight … and will be Tennessee-Stanford for the Women on Tuesday night (and we’ll get to see Candace Parker and Candice Wiggins go at it one more time)!
In JordanCornblog land the brackets have shifted just a tad on the women’s side (where that UConn loss knocked [...]
As Jules says, “It’s anybody’s game.” Chris has convinced us all (after much hard work) that those are oranges painted (or stencilled, or something) on the court! Alice is getting tired … and we’re off!
Well … 13:26 left and it’s a 2-point game. They are grinding it out … 27-29. Candace Parker was just fouled [...]
The Dallas Morning News gives the edge to LSU and UConn in tonight’s games. The Seattle Times likes the star power, with four All-Americans hitting the court in Tampa for these games.
In a bit of a surprise for some … Candice Wiggins steps on the court with yet another honor … this year’s Wade [...]

Alexis Hornbuckle may hold the key for Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols as they tangle with Van Chancellor’s LSU Lady Tigers tomorrow night.

Of all the outdoor activities that Pat Summitt planned on her deck this year, swatting a raccoon was not one of them. Last month, she stepped in, set a screen for her [...]

First off, this header for a story on MSNBC caught my eye … “Clinton Veers to Dark Side” … it says. “Uh oh,” I thought, “something nefarious here!” Turns out it’s a story about how, in her stump speeches, she uses real-life stories to illustrate her points. Real life, I guess, is “The Dark Side.” I [...]
The wild winds of April (at least that’s how it was last night in these parts) nearly blew in a couple more #2 seeds … but in the end the #1’s prevailed on a nerve-wracking night of hard-nosed basketball.
What a gutsy performance by Candace Parker (as well as Jenny Moshak and the Lady Vol’s athletic [...]
When I went to bed Notre Dame was ahead of Tennessee, and moving on to play for the Final Four was looking anything but inevitable for the Lady Vols. Candace Parker’s 34 points, however, helped bring Tennessee back from a halftime deficit to a 74-64 win over the Irish. (Did I already say Phew?) With Rutgers, [...]
