Where Perplexing Happens
Taking a break from my unintentional blogging exile (forgive me readers, it has been rather busy around these parts) to wonder why on God's green earth a first-place team would sign a 50-year-old woman, as the Detroit Shock have just done with Nancy Lieberman.
More importantly, though, why the hell am I writing about it?
Perhaps it's partially because of Shock coach Bill Laimbeer's quote: "Can she still compete at this level? I don't know. But I'm going to throw her in the fire." Something about a 51-year-old man saying that about a 50-year-old woman conjures the image of him quite literally picking her up and flinging her headlong onto the hardwood floor, at which point she breaks a hip.
Okay, I think I'm done. We can all go back to throwing darts at Hawks GM Rick Sund's face.
