I love youtube.
ooooh wee, this is nice - right?
I'm still feeling it. Straight bliss. I've won a lot of championships in my time. This was special. This is the highest level of hoop in the world. Did you see my girl Cappie? Man, she's such a baller. This girl is going to be so good. She already is so good. She's going to be one of the great ones. Tweety is a beast, a proven winner, and Cappie didn't back down. She shined. That really showed me something. She has heart to go with the talent. It felt even better beating Detroit. I wouldn't have want to win my first W chip against any other squad. I love those girs. They can ball, they have edge, some arrogance, a crazy coach. I'm glad we had to go through them. Plus, now I have braggin' rights on Swin. Ha Ha. This feels so good. Am I oozing glee right now or what? I feel like a new person, like I'm official now. Check this out. Here are the top five reasons why winning a WNBA title changes my life: 5. More Money! What, you think I don't want to be paid? Nothing brings the dough like winning. Maybe now I can get that Gatorade endorsement. Hook it up, Peyton! 4. Because Paul Westhead might bounce to the NBA. This is not a good thing for me, as playing under coach has been one of the best experiences of my life. But I got to play in a system, under a coach, that really helped me expand my game. I'm a more complete player now. Plus, that system is so fun. 3. I no longer have to worry about pullin' a Charles Barkley. Keep off that best-player-to-never-win-a-title list. More than anything, I want to go down as a winner, a champion. I've won in college. I've won overseas. I've won gold medals. Winning in the W is all I was missing. 2. We gave Mercury fans, some of the most loyal in the WNBA, what they desperately wanted. Few things feel better than satisfying your home crowd. They supported us through some tough years and struggling times. It's a major accomplishment to deliver a title to the city of Phoenix. 1. I got to be a part of lifting the league to a new level. That was one of the best Finals ever. The ratings were up this year in the playoffs, and we treated fans to a helluva series. Anyone who watched had to be entertertained. We have a new TV deal now. Hopefully this is the start of something big for the league.
Heading out to practice in a few and figured posting the AM call in to my guys at XTRA Sports 910 in Phoenix would give you more info than any of my own journalistic attempts at this point. If the the other link doesn't work, try this one: http://www.xtra910.com/cc-common/podcast.html . Look for the box down on the right. Its one for all the marbles folks: Game 5. 1:30pm PST/4:30pm EST on ESPN2.
Just got out of practice. Pissed we let last night get away. We just never quite broke through...Now we're just focused on tomorrow. In the meantime, I thought I'd share one of the most priceless emails I have ever received. This genius, sent the following to me through my agent: ------Original Message------ From: Scott Emerson Crosby (crosbysc@msu.edu) Sent: Sep 12, 2007 12:03 PM Subject: PLease forward to Diana Taurasi Hey Diana, My name is Scott and I am a Shock fan from Detroit. I just wanted to encourage you to hold your head up after Katie Miller serves you a third piece of Humble Pie on Thursday night. It has been fun watching you play in the series, I graduated from MSU when you were playing for Uconn and I was always bummed I never got to see you play. Remember to look on the bright side at least you still have your own website! Adios Amiga, Scott So congratulations, Scott. I am officially giving you the attention you crave and responding to your email in this public forum. I have a question though - who is Katie Miller?
