Detroit Shock are Moving to Tulsa

-
The Detroit Shock are reportedly about to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I can't say that I really blame them. In a town that has four other professional sports teams already - plus Michigan and Michigan State sports teams - it has been hard for them to generate the attendance that they need.

Of course, the saddest part all of this is that the Detroit Lions are staying.

Well, we are glad you are generous in sharing a pro team with Oklahoma. They are only the second pro team that we have, since the Thunder came to us last year from Seattle. As a former Detroiter, I'm really liking this.

P.S. You can keep the Lions! :)

I am surprised to hear that the Shock are relocating to Tulsa. You make a good point about there being too much competition in the Detroit sports scene. It's also true in other cities. It's amazing how many WNBA teams have folded or relocated in recent years.

@Stella: You know, I love everyone in Oklahoma. However, I can't help but feel that there really ought to be a rule: If you want to take the Shock, you have to take the Lions, too.

@SteveMar2: I have a feeling that there is going to be a lot more of this as time goes on. In the long run, it will probably be good for the WBNA; help them step out from the NBA's shadow.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
