Congrats to the Lady Bears.

As we predicted, our Lady Bears are this year's National Champs.  We're still celebrating here in Waco.  For example, you will see this billboard in the same spot that was once devoted to celebrating Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin:




And kudos to CNN's Kyra Phillips, who did a segment on the Notre Dame Coach's comments on our star player:


Six-foot-eight, Brittney Griner, leading her Lady Bears into the history books with a perfect season and an NCAA title to boot.

But still, within all of that glory, Notre Dame's coach says Griner, quote, "is like a guy playing with women."

OK, Coach, you say you were lifting here and to your credit Brittney took it as a compliment. But come on. Do we need to go there?

That analogy is as old as Augusta's archaic rules, so let's retire it now.

And, while we're at it, let's retire runs like a girl and throws like a girl. Have you see Flo-Jo run? What about Jennie Finch pitch?

In the words of our favorite sports columnist, Christine Brennan, comments like this just rev up nastier words and thoughts.

Brittney Griner is an amazing athlete, period, and, Brittney, if you're listening, you got skills, you've got brains and you are today's rock star.



We should all aspire to:
