NOT ALL BAD...
Well, I tried to find some sort of positive refuge after the Seahawks choked today. Actually, now that I think about it, I wish Chad Eaton were still a Seahawk for today's game so we could blame him for Cougin' it. Of course, there's Marcus Trufant...
Anyway, not all was lost...
-- The Connecticut Sun/Seattle Storm WNBA Finals Game 2 was a seesaw affair. Nykesha Sales and Betty Lennox (27 pts on 11-for-16 shooting) were hitting clutch shot after clutch shot for both teams, and the Storm somehow let Sales sneak open for a three-point shot (off the side of the backboard) on the final play. Nonetheless, the Storm eke by with a 67-65 win. The deciding game will be on Tuesday.
-- Thanks to ESPN2, just a few minutes ago I was able to see Tara Kirk swim the 100m breaststroke at the FINA short course worlds. Finishing order: 1) Brooke Hanson of Australia, 2) Jade Edmistone of Australia, 3) Tara Kirk, 4) Amanda Beard. Tara Kirk walks away from the meet with two bronze medals as the fastest American woman in the 50m and 100m breaststroke events, and comes away with a silver medal as part of Team USA's 4x100m medley relay team. Good job, Tara.
So, in celebration of these two positive events (and positive events in women's athletics, no less), I'm going to go to Fred Meyer to clean out their discount CD rack. And maybe buy the Ren & Stimpy DVD set out on Tuesday. Of course, these can also be considered as reactions to the Seahawks' loss as well.
[Edit Mon ~9:13a -- threw in some links, and clarified that yes, the Storm won, which I didn't explicitly say in the first place.]
