No Phallus at The Palace

It was inevitable, right? We already have a few WNBA players who can dunk. And now we finally have the first bench-clearing brawl involving these fundamentally-sound female cagers. Ironically enough, it took place at the same venue as the infamous "Malice at The Palace" between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons from November 19, 2004.

The ladies of the Los Angeles Sparks and Detroit Shock did their best to do their NBA brethren proud, but it really turned out to be quite pathetic as Detroit's Cheryl Ford, the daughter of noted douche Karl Malone, ended up hurting her knee trying to hold one of her enraged teammates back. But perhaps the funniest portion of the whole event was when Rick Mahorn -- yes, THAT Rick Mahorn -- current assistant coach of the Shock, went to move the Sparks' Lisa Leslie away from the melee. She ended up going flying and one of her teammates punched Mahorn in the back. "What the fuck? Was that a gnat? Sheeeit, Manute Bol could hit harder than that baby.""

Mahorn was a big dude in his playing days, but he's positively huge now. The entire roster of the Sparks couldn't do any damage to that mountain of a man.



It took a ridiculous brawl to get me to mention the WNBA*. In the SportsCenter highlights of the brawl last night, the guy commenting on the clip made me laugh when he said, "I certainly don't remember ever seeing a brawl in a WNBA game." No shit! You have to actually WATCH a WNBA game first.

Expect Great indeed.

*Wait a minute! They got me talking and thinking about the WNBA. This whole thing was STAGED!! I fell for it! Aaaaahhh!!
