DON'T MESS WITH THE BAD BOYS; GIRLS
Published 7/23/2008 by World of Isaac (noreply@blogger.com) at The World of Isaac
It was like ol times back at the Palace as a Detroit franchise brawled with another team. And it even involved original Bad Boys Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn. But this time it was the Detroit Shock, not the Detroit Pistons who were throwing the haymakers. And apparently, Detroit Assistant Coach Rick Mahorn forgot he was a coach because he involved himself in the altercation and even tossed Lisa Leslie to the ground. The absolute funniest part of the whole fight was the cheap shot Mahorn received in the back aftwards from a Sparks player. It was biggest pansy punch I've seen since ...

STOP THE PRESSES!

Remember in the 1989 version of Batman, when the Joker says, "This town needs an enema?" On Tuesday night the WNBA got its enema, because for the first time in league history, something interesting has happened. L.A. Sparks rookie Candace Parker -- considered to by many to be the only reason you should watch women's basketball -- showed how she earned that title by getting into a fight with Plenette Pierson of the Detroit Shock near the end of Tuesday night's game at the Palace of Auburn Hills. As befitting of a fight at the Palace, it soon turned into an all-out melee, with um, ladies throwing punches and shoving each other. (I can't wait to hear ...

The (Supposed) First Ever WNBA Brawl

Look at them, all trying to be like men and shit! Bless! Giggidy. Also, because it's not worthy of its own blog post, here is a picture, via whomever, of Baron Davis and Steve Nash on a tandem bicycle, wearing clothing best described as "totally gay". No, I don't know why either. ICouldTakeStephenJacksonInAFight.com: just one of many NBA blogs to pad out its content with links to videos and pictures because it saves my spindly old woman's fingers from having to do any actual creative work.

WNBA Fight Between Detroit Shock And Los Angeles Sparks
Published 7/23/2008 at FanIQ Blog
So first we kicked off the week with Danica Patrick and Milka Duno with their semi cat fight, if you even want to call it that, and now the WNBA has one upped them big time. Naturally, the fight occurred in Detroit (what is it about that place?) between the Detroit Shock and the Los Angeles Sparks. While this first video is kind of hard to tell what exactly happened, you do get to see Rick Mahorn get hit in the back by a flying haymaker after he throws Lisa Leslie down. As you will see in the video below, Candace Parker starts it off with a forearm take down of Plenette Pierson, ...

Out of Bounds Rick Mahorn: Will the Fight Between Candace Parker and Plenette Pierson Change the Scope of the WNBA?
Published 7/23/2008 by AXG at The Starting Five
A change is gonna come, but don’t compare this to the Detroit/Indiana “brawl”. If you do, that’s irresponsible. This is the WNBA not the NBA As I write this in my best attempt to stay clear of being judge and jury, a fight occurred during a basketball game in a familiar venue. If the Palace at Auburn Hills rings a bell, then you must understand that there has been one too many fights in this Detroit suburb. The Los Angeles Sparks overcame a bench clearing brawl (5 seconds remaining in the game), and 4 ejections (Candace Parker, DeLisha Milton-Jones, Pienette Pierson, and ...

Basketball fans have been joking for years about how David Stern always finds new ways to shove the WNBA down our throats. Whether it was by attaching them to NBA teams, stuffing them into All-Star Weekend or subtle advertisements during games. It's always there. Who knew the WNBA would have it's own version of the 'Malice at the Palace' (Ok...so it was nowhere near that but on the WNBA scale of fights this was at least a 9.

WNBA Brawl Video
Published 7/23/2008 by KC at Sports of Boston
The only connection to Boston I can make is that Bill Lambeer and especially Rick Mahorn played significant roles in this very unique WNBA Brawl. As you may remember, Lambeer and Mahorn played with the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons of the late 1980’s and took part in a couple exciting playoff series against the Celtics. Mahorn, known as a peacemaker after his role in the worst brawl in sports history between the Pacers and Pistons in Detroit in 2004, pushed Lisa Leslie to the ground in order to keep the peace. Woah… ...

There was evidentially a fight in the WNBA last night, but it is hard to tell from the video above. Mainly because it looks like your typically WNBA action -- a bunch of young ladies falling all over themselves in a big scrum. How is this different from any other WNBA action? Of course, one of the young ladies had to be helped off the floor in a wheel chair. So you can't ball and you can't brawl, so what good are you? However, the best part was one of the Lakerettes going after Pistons assistant coach Rick Mahorn who was trying to play "peacemaker." Yes, he and Bill Lamebeer (sic) were known for being ...

Malice At The Palace Pt. II : Mahorn’s Incidental Contact With Lisa Leslie
Published 7/23/2008 by GC at Can't Stop The Bleeding
In the aftermath of the above melee, Detroit Shock assistant  / overgrown Bad Boy Rick Mahorn protested to the Detroit Free Press’ Vince Ellis that he was merely trying to separate players.  That seems reasonable enough, though I’d prefer to focus on the real tragedy of this ugly incident. All that pushing and shoving and Kid Rock somehow wasn’t trampled to death?  I think we can safely label this a blown opportunity for the WNBA.

Of Garbo, promotions and a wild night at the Palace

Not sure how this is going to work out this week, was sort of a weird feeling around the golfing course trying to write without 19,000 fans screaming their lungs out, music being played during the competition and, of course, there are no Chickens in golf. Odd sport, that. But I digress, as I do. On to the hoops - Yes, we know by reading a snippet in our paper this morning that Jose went for 18 points and Spain beat Argentina by two yesterday in some pre-Olympic friendly (as they call it in my other sport, football).

This happened during a WNBA game? You bet your vintage collection of Kobe Bryant Nutella it did. As Hubie Brown might say, things got a little "chippy" late in the game when the Detroit Shock's Cheryl Ford committed a hard foul on the Los Angeles Sparks' Candace Parker, after which the ladies had to be separated. This was clearly the first mistake, as grappling women should never be separated for any reason. Let them work out their ...

The current Batman craze has inspired me to drop everything else and become completely evil. My only issue is that I don't really have an interesting back story laid out. Maybe somebody just looked at me the wrong way and at that moment it clicked that this was who I'm supposed to be. I don't know. We'll work on it. Really not a whole lot going on out there, but here are a few items worth checking out.   Jody Demling and Jeff Goodman both weigh in with their takes on day one of AAU action in Las Vegas, but neither provides much fodder for U of L fans.

Marcus Williams to Golden State? ESPN's Marc Stein is on vacation, but he's a gamer, and checked in to say that this move, by all indications, likely shifts Golden State's attentions away from the offer sheet they were flirting with extending to Philadelphia 76ers free agent Louis Williams. The Warriors decided getting this Williams via trade was a lot less risky than signing Philly's Williams to an offer sheet and potentially coming away with nothing if the Sixers match it as you'd expect.

The WNBA game between the LA Sparks and Detroit Shock got a little heated in the final five seconds last night. Sparks' stars Candace Parker and Lisa Leslie were involved in the melee with Cheryl Ford and bad boy coaches Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Shock. Here's the wild video: When all was said and done, three players were ejected from the game along with Mahorn. Ford was taken off the court in a wheelchair after sustaining a sprained knee in the female fracas. The WNBA: Expect Great.

Who says that things can’t get a little tense in the WNBA? On Tuesday night, players from the Los Angeles Sparks and Detroit Shock were involved in what’s believed to be the biggest skirmish in the league’s history — and unsurprisingly, it occurred at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Check it out: Well, this is certainly an interesting way to bring some attention to the league — but any publicity is good publicity, right? In this case, I think the skirmish actually helps the WNBA; the league has been fighting perceptions that, although it provides a level of fundamentally-sound play that the ...

The WNBA: It's Fight-tastic!
Published 7/24/2008 at Sports Bastards
One of the best things Title IX has done for athletics is now women athletes can be just as stupid, immature, and boorish as their male counterparts! Except of course that this fight doesn't spill into the stands and cause a riot, if only because the stands are empty enough that the hundreds of fans in attendance could easily just walk away from the fighting players. Alternately, they could take a page from Rick Mahorn's book and just toss gangly women around like James Brown at a coke party. Just consider that only a few years ago, this very same venue, The Palace at Auburn Hills, was the host ...

She Got Game… Like, The Original Game

Congrats to Nancy Lieberman for having the ability and gumption to leave the broadcast booth and make her return to the WNBA’s Detroit Shock. Apparently deciding the team needed a bit more maturity in the wake of this week’s episode of Foxy Boxing with the Los Angeles Sparks, Coach Bill Laimbeer signed the AARP-member to a seven day contract. Maybe coach needs to clean his face-shield, but how can this move help anybody? How can this be anything other than a complete lose-lose situation? If she fails, it’s a) sad and b) makes the team that signed her look absolutely ridiculous. Things ...

We got NEXT! And you know this!!! I’m sure you’re well aware why the WNBA is stealing a few headlines this week. Despite the knowledge of many, the league is still in existence, believe it or not. And it should come as no surprise that it took a damn near riot or in better terms a brawl, to shed a little publicity on the floundering league. One may think negative publicity is not what this league needs, but how can one argue with a glimpse of the limelight? ...

LA Sparks vs Detroit Shock: Now THIS is a Catfight
Published 7/24/2008 by houroc at SportFiends
So the other day I made a post about what I thought at the time was a pretty decent catfight between Danica Patrick and whatshername. That’s nothing compared to a fight that happened the other day in the WNBA though. In a game between the Detroit Shock and the L.A. Sparks, an all out girl brawl broke out and it resulted in 10 players between both of the teams being suspended. Here is the fight. Ok so the fight wasn’t as good as other fights that we’ve seen in the MLB, the NHL, or even in Knicks/Heat games but it’s a pretty ...

Lions Now Preventing Fans From Shouting Sensible Comments to Occasionally-Lazy WRs

Detroit fans remain unruly: Mike Lazzara, 42, of Novi, [Michigan] stood on the top step of the bleachers amid a sparse, mostly quiet crowd. He repeatedly shouted to Williams about taking plays off. “I didn’t use any profanity to him,” Lazzara said. “I wanted just to be constructive and tell the guy, ‘You know, I’m not making $20 million a season.’ The guy takes plays off. You guys look at the tape.” “There’s no signs that say you’ve got to stay positive,” Lazzara said. “I wasn’t yelling and screaming and using profanity and all this at Roy. I was just being constructive, and they boot me out. I ...
