    The women's final four was in my burg a ways back and the local organizer got a letter beforehand from a Gay Rights group that started with "We're Queer, We're Here and We're Ready to Cheer." Went on to say they'd be out in force and supporting the event and spending their money and enjoying themselves and they'd best be ready to handle that.

    We need to work on a similar, catchy SportsJournalists.com slogan

    I submit:

    We're here, we drink beer and like to leer.

    My wife has to go to Tampa on business next week and is not excited about the fact the Women's Final Four will be in town.

    I think I'll forward this story to her. I'm sure it'll improve her mood. ;D

    "Armchair, honey, I have something to tell you..."

    And hondo gave up his vacation to cover the Women's Final Four.

    That was funny as hell. And I don't care if it was out of line (actually, I don't think it was that out of line anyway).

    Maybe you should consider switching teams.

    Was just about to post that.
    It might not be so bad in Tampa this weekend because the Shore is this weekend in Palm Springs.

    You all beat me to that reference -- the Lesbian Party Scene in the desert.
