ESPN The Mag WNBA Issue

From 15 feet.
If Ben Wallace is cringing, you know it's bad.

 

This scene always cracks me up, Batman:

Fry: I can't believe Leela and Amy aren't back yet from their half date. I'm gonna call the restaurant.

Phone Recording: The number you have dialed has crashed into a planet. Please make a note of it.

Bender: Whoa!

Fry: We gotta go rescue them!

Bender: Eh, I dunno.

Fry: Bender, think of the señoritas!

Bender: Vamonos!

 

Complete with a little Spanish guitar riff on the "Vamonos!"

Zapp's lines in the scene where the restaurant crashes are great, too.
"She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro!"
"You win again, gravity!"
One of the best episodes of the series, hands down.

 

Or when 5 people jump up for a rebound and knock it out of bounds.

 

A friend and I used to have fun checking box scores to see how many individual players had more rebounds than "Team Rebounds."

 

But the women's game is all about team play! [/bluefont].

Is this worth a full issue if games aren't on the mother ship? I'll take my answer off the air ...

 

Are there any disclosures about WNBA finances, specifically how much the NBA kicks in? In terms of PR, could the NBA pull the plug?

 

They can do it slowly and let each team die a slow death until there aren't enough teams to make a viable league.

 

Who's going to win the Layup Contest at this year's WNBA All-Star Game?

 

It won't happen that way. There are no WNBA franchises that are financially viable on their own. The league survives only because of NBA welfare. When or if it disappears, it will be because its sugar daddy finally decided to pull the plug, in which case every franchise will disappear at once, it won't be a gradual dissipation.

 

The Mag has turned to focusing on one subject throughout each issue. From what I've seen, it's been a disaster.
