Diana Taurasi could outdrink me

Whoah, if I had the same blood-alcohol level as Diana Taurasi when she was pulled over in Phoenix for a DUI - I'd probably be begging for a bucket at a Zips somewhere while trying to eat a Big Zipper to soak up all the booze.

PHOENIX -- Mercury star Diana Taurasi faces three drunken driving related charges, including extreme DUI, for a July 2 incident in which she also was cited for speeding.

A Phoenix police report released Tuesday shows Taurasi's blood-alcohol level was 0.17 percent, or more than twice the Arizona legal limit of 0.08 percent.

The 27-year-old guard was cited hours after she scored 22 points in the Mercury's 93-81 victory over the Seattle Storm.

Taurasi pleaded not guilty to the DUI charges and not responsible to the speeding citation.

A police officer who stopped Tauarsi's vehicle after seeing it drift outside a traffic lane near downtown Phoenix claims she was driving nearly 20 mph over the 35 mph limit.

Well at least she wasn't driving with Steve Urkel...

The dog days of summer

I love baseball and good thing because that's going to be the only thing going on for the next couple of months unless you're a big follower of the PGA money standings and NASCAR.

With basketball over and football not starting up until August, we're in for the long haul. For some sports fans that might be too much. This could be where they finally turn and become WNBA fans.

And don't forget, sometimes baseball will have off-days or slow days where only a couple games are being played. What does that mean? Lots and lots of Washington Nationals highlights.

You might be wondering what Casey and I will be doing to pass the time and worry not, we're both quite sane during this slow time in sports. We will fill our time watching Looney Tunes, stalking Rodney Stuckey, coming up with theories on how the Seattle Seahawks are going to win the Super Bowl and playing Wii Bowling.

With the slowdown in sports what will you be doing?

Wait until you see the Seattle Just South of Norths

Chances are that you've probably heard about the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury replacing their uniform logos with the logo of the LifeLock Company. You know, the company that's suppose to stop identity theft and the head guy is so confident that he put his Social Security number in all the company's ads?

... and then promptly got his identity stolen.

Ladies and Gentlemen! The WNBA.

This is where I'd like to take to time to now suggest that the Seattle Storm replace their uniform logos with the JustSON logo. I'm sure we could work out some sort of sponsorship tender. Like in return, Casey and I would start attending the games or something.

And does anyone else think Diana Taurasi is hot? Or is my taste in women just completely off kilter?

And by the way, after checking google by typing in "Diana Taurasi boyfriend" the only results that came up were lesbian rumors and really no solid evidence either way that she actually has a boyfriend.

Which officially means, I have a chance.

We're not done with this. Operation Taurasi Drop is now officially in commencement.

Epic Video: WNBA Brawl

Man I'm going to start watching more WNBA basketball if this keeps happening...


One of players suffered a knee sprain and left the game in a wheelchair. Although there's an assistant coach for the Detroit Shock that is probably hurting a lot more after pulling off this wonderful "douche" move...

Detroit Shock assistant coach Rick Mahorn, center, grabs the arm of Los Angeles Sparks' assistant coach Laura Beeman while being hit on the back by Sparks' DeLisha Milton-Jones, second from right, during a fight in the closing seconds of a WNBA basketball game on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 in Auburn Hills, Mich. Mahorn was ejected from the game for pushing Sparks' Lisa Leslie while attempting to keep Leslie from approaching the Shock bench during a bench-clearing fight in which four were ejected.

Funny thing is that brawls apparently are becoming common place at Auburn Hills, I'm wondering when they'll start moving basketball games into the Octagon.
