Admittedly, I only learned yesterday about this whole “fantasy team” thing, but if you’re going to pretend that Barry Bonds and Hank Blalock are at batting practice together, why not Tina Thompson and Lisa Leslie?

There just seems to be so much about fantasy sports -- the obsessive record keeping, the dorky statistics-tracking, the fan-boy research that goes into prepping for a fantasy draft -- that seems so overpoweringly male. I think women are smart enough to focus their energies on more productive things. (And quite frankly, you could count the number of voluntary male WNBA fans on your fingers and toes.)

Be nice. WBNA deserves more respect.
