I'm not being sarcastic...

...someone else is. This cracked me up for obvious reasons. Comes from a recent chat with DJ Gallo, ESPN's other writer worth reading. (For those who don't know, this question comes from the fact that UConn just hammered the bejeezus out of Louisville in the Women's NCAA title game. But the question isn't the funny part. The answer is).

"J.B. (Dunmore, PA): Better matchup: UConn women's basketball v Louisville women's basketball or Harlem Globetrotters v Washington Generals?

DJ Gallo: I think you are being a bit disrespectful of the Washington Generals. By the way, I do think this raises a good idea: Why not a women's Harlem Globetrotters team? They could entertain the crowd with sound fundamentals. Look, kids! A textbook bounce pass! "

and you're not even "a" chauvinistic pig. you're so low you're only part of one and therefore don't get an article in front of the noun. oh yeah, i said it.

I should add that I sometimes dream about being a ball player. My bounce passes are fantastic in the dream. And there are men there, my brothers included, cheering me on, and excited that I committed myself to a sport I love, despite the awful fact that less enlightened men make crude jokes about it.

Pfft...all this criticism and I'm willing to bet that I'm the only person who actually sat through that game.

And why not have a women's Harlem Globetrotter team?

Because nobody likes women's sports.


Unless, of course, it's women's Olympic beach volleyball. I think the whole nation likes that one.

wow, Post Hill, I'd almost started to expect better of you once again.

How does it feel being his Yes Man? You enjoy that, do you? I'd have thought you'd find that demeaning and the 2 of you would hire women ball players for the part. But then what to do I know? I'm only a female.

You're a brave man Post Hill. Misguided. But brave.

Friday night pizza, here we come.

Just like to point out that the Head of the Table, if you will, thought this post was hilarious...

Mary said...

Just trying to spread the vitriol around...

Man, Maunderer, you could incite huge riots.

Post Hill, you are still always invited for pizza!
