Cheryl Ford (Karl Malone's illegitimate daughter), a player for the Detroit Shock, tore her ACL while breaking up a fight. Very admirable. Except for the fact that she tore her ACL holding someone back who wasn't even involved in the actual fight. Very...unathletic? She was restraining her (random) teammate for no apparent reason, slipped and tore her ACL. Now that she's on the disabled list, the Detroit lady Pistons have signed 50-year-old Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, who was working as a broadcaster, to a seven-day contract. No, they didn't fire coach Rick Mahorn and hire Lieberman. They signed a 50-year-old to replace a player who can't hold a player back without tearing her ACL. Way to rectify your problem.
This league is a joke to 90% of all sports fans and now it's actually a funny joke. I personally blame Greg Norman, who apparently woke up the WNBA to the notion that 50 is never too old to get it done. Let's see if Lieberman can hold up on her fourth day better than Norman. I can only imagine how things would have deteriorated if Norman had to play seven days.
'I'm too old for this shit.'
Ladies and gentlmen, welcome to the WNBA, where hall-of-famers can improve their stats.
