In the past, I’ve ruminated or rather thought out loud the question of how this league can be all about gender yet market itself as mostly genderless. This idea is apparently the topic of a little e-fight going on between Wendy Parker and someone who refers to themself as the Fake Sigi Schmid (I [...]
WPS season two hopes and dreams
By: Melissa | 1 Comment
Today was the inaugural expansion draft where the Atlanta Beat and Philadelphia Independence nabbed a bunch of players from every team so they could start their own teams. It wasn’t very exciting mainly because it was secret. None of the teams published their protected lists and the draft itself was behind closed doors. [...]
Have you ever thought to yourself, I’d really like to watch Heather Mitts and Sue Weber try on wedding dresses while listening to delightful sounds from the Fergie solo album

Well, lucky lucky you because the Boston Breakers have that video on their site right now. Admittedly nowhere near as great as Will Ferrell and MC Hammer on Regis and Kelly (<- seriously, click that link then afterwards enjoy part two). And I’m not just writing that cause I live in Oakland and [...]

On Saturday, Sky Blue FC released a statement informing us that Ian Sawyers has been indefinitely suspended. That’s General Manager and Head Coach Ian Sawyers getting the axe and putting assistant Kelly Lindsey in the top spot for Friday’s game against the Freedom. And how long she’ll stay head coach, is uh… not [...]

Bravo, WPS

It’s almost as if WPS staffers intentionally timed their controversial twitter idea just to ride the publicity wave started by Charlie Villanueva and Shaquille O’Neal. This ESPN article does a nice job of recapping the story so I’ll just go ahead and quote them:
Suns center Shaquille O’Neal posted a note on his Twitter feed [...]
Nick Green’s got your back
By: Melissa | No Comments
WPS is certainly embracing twitterionia like it’s the next big thing (oh wait…). Just about everyone who works there has an account. A few of us perhaps spent an hour or so last week following a scrimmage between Chicago and Boston (result = 1-1 tie). And last night, Nick Green of 100% [...]
Half-assed preview otherwise known as pre-season round-up

I’m at home today anxiously waiting for the UPS guy to show up with the $200 netbook I just bought on super-sale. Woo Hoo!. I’m also searching the internets for video of Marta on Ellen. So far, not coming up with anything. In the meantime, I bring you this place holder where [...]
Positive Outlook
