UConn's Women Win 69th Straight....

The UConn Huskies Women's basketball team brought their record to (30-0) last night with a win over Notre Dame. (the number after the dash is for how many people care)

Kudos to the Huskies Women's basketball team on going undefeated in the always powerful Big East. But, until women start playing against the men, I still will not watch women's basketball.

If every male athlete came down with a serious case of worms, there were no male sports for a month, and ESPN aired middle school chess tournaments and ESPN2 showed the undefeated UConn Huskies Women's basketball team vs. the undefeated Tennessee Volunteers, I would rather watch a sixth grader think for 12 minutes to move his pawn one spot forward than watch basketball in slow motion. (women's basketball)

It's nothing against women or them being less athletic than men, inferior, or any other male chauvinism. It's because women's basketball is not interesting. It's slower, they shoot at a lower percentage, and they can't dunk (minus a handful of players).

I don't give my girlfriend (a lot of) crap for not wanting to watch baseball, football, or men's basketball with me. I don't call her sexist or feminist for it. She just doesn't find it interesting. But, I don't see her turning on the T.V. to watch the Connecticut women play basketball.

I may be a lone wolf here. You all may actually care. But, I don't want ESPN wasting even a headline on their main page for a women's basketball game, unless someone bitch-slapped someone.

Vince Young to Start for Tennessee

As the age of the aging quarterback withers away, the Tennessee Titans' 0-6 start has prompted a strong suggestion from owner Bud Adams to start Vince Young immediately. With Kerry Collins' 13-3 record of 2008 just a distant memory, the all-too-popular calling for the Starting QB's head begins.

Switching to Vince Young isn't going to solve the Titans' problems. Getting their defense in order is the key. 31st in the league (405 yds-per game) in yards allowed, no quarterback switch, minus Jesus, and I HAVE created "Jesus" for my Madden '10 Eagles (just think Devin Hester speed, Peyton Manning intelligence, Tom Brady accuracy, and the bad-assness of Ray Lewis), is going to turn 0-6 into 10-6.

The Titans have the 6th-ranked running game and have historically been a field-position football team. But, if their defense can't give them better field position than "wherever Mark Jones returns the kickoff to," Young will be run off the field just as fast as Collins.
