Beat L.A.! Last night’s WNBA Brawl
Sadly, the WNBA won’t get this kind of attention for the rest of the season unless someone does a Playboy spread. And what’s up with Rick Mahorn bullying women?

I think it’s just the city of Detroit itself, it has an giant lake of ooze flowing underneath it from all of the negativity. Just like in Ghostbusters 2.

doc says:
Mahorn aint bully nobody.He just push Lisa back and she light in the ass.He shoulda beat that bitch ass who hit him though.

Spliff 2 My Lou says:
Too bad Cheryl Ford injured her ACL trying to restrain her teammate. It sucks to go out like that.
Come on Cooper even if Mahorn pushing Lisa Leslie down was an accident you have to have her back. I think he’s just trying to down play it.

I don’t know why any of those girls would want to throw down with Parker. Did you see her at the espys she is JACKED and i don’t mean jacked for a girl i mean just straight DIESEL.

If Candace and Shelden have a son I’m calling it right now. #1 draft pick in the 2037 NBA draft. Kids going to be a beast.

Is Rick Mahorn in the wrong here? I was always taught never to hit a woman, but I don’t recall any advice on pushing them to the ground. Mahorn may get a pass on this unwritten rule by technicality.

isotope says:
the chic that “punched” Mahorn pulled a Carmelo. lol. Backpedaled like a mug.
Candance did take that other girl down. I bet you if that happened in Houston with Tina Thompson and Michelle Snow somebody would have been going to lock up.
disclaimer: I dont really follow WNBA anymore but I used to when the Comets were winning championships.

Zach says:
All the sportscenter reports this morning were saying that the detroit girl started it but it looked like she just walked toward Parker to get in her face and Parker pulled her down and rolled on top of her. 10 to 1 says Parker doesn’t get as long of a suspension tho (since she’s the face of the league)
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:21 am
fallinup says:
@15 It’d be in the right mind of anyone to backpedal after trying to punch Rick Mahorn in back of the head.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:22 am
SayItAintSo says:
Well, I think the beef isn’t primarily with Parker because things were all cooled off by the time the free throw attempt started. Then, Karl’s girl is just kind of being a pest by trying to box Parker out to like the effin halfcourt line, whereas Parker is clearly not going for the rebound. Shortly there after, parker pulls out the Judo toss and puts lil’Malone on her ass. And quite frankly, I support and respest anyone who puts a Malone on their ass regardless of what sex chromosome their carrying.

SayItAintSo says:
Oh shit…nevermind. She puts ‘Pearson’ (whoever the hell that is) on her ass. I retract my support and respect.

Imperial-Mel says:
Say it aint so…i cant stand any Malone “Chromosomes” either….hilarious!!
@12, where did that come from??

“Is Rick Mahorn in the wrong here? I was always taught never to hit a woman, but I don’t recall any advice on pushing them to the ground. Mahorn may get a pass on this unwritten rule by technicality.”
ya, that and the woman he hit rabbit punched him in the back of the head. You can’t hit a dude then pull that, “Don’t hit me, I’m a girl.” (especially when these girls are bigger than most dudes and are pro athletes - very highly trained, strong and in great shape - not exactly the dainty ones this social norm was enacted to protect.) You don’t want to get hit, don’t hit anyone else. I woulda just bounced instead of doing that, but Mahorn was defending himself. He’s an idiot and shouldn’t have touched her, but if you hit someone first, don’t complain, and if that someone is Rick Mahorn, you know damn well he’s not just running away, regardless of how much smarter it woulda been…
(again, not saying he shoulda touched her, he CLEARLY shouldn’t have, but don’t hit someone first and expect nothing to happen and he did only PUSH away the person that was punching him, not like she got drilled w/ a right hook. Again, I don’t and never would do that, but I also don’t expect to get sucker punched by one either. Once that happens, instinct and self defense kicks in. It’d be COMPLETELY different to me if he kept going after her after he pushed her away.)

@11 - 2037? That kid gonna be a 28 year-old rook?

Sith Lord 24 says:
Funny that girl that hit Mahorn did pull a Melo. Mahorn didnt push her to the ground he had his hands out to say ” take it easy and back up ” she just pulled a old school Flop to make it look worse than it was. kinda like Ginobili!!!!!!!! hey maybe the WNBA will get better raitings for the rest of the year bc of this. crazy but that is how the world works.

@24..i guess the assumption is that they will be having their first child 9 years from now.
July 23rd, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Celts Fan says:
@24 and 26, if you were a pro athlete w/ the potential to be the GOAT (Candace could absolutely be in women’s ball) would you waste that to pop out a kid now?
not to mention, they’re both basically kids themselves (9 years from now, they’re still both barely over 30.)

detroit is awesome. people who hate on my home can’t deal with how real ish gets here.

rangerjohn says:
what i find funny, rick was repeatedly saying “i would never push a woman i love THIS GAME TO MUCH” what happened to striking women as a “golden rule” he is more afraid of losing his job then his integrity of the push. i like rick but damn man, saying you would never do something like that because you love this game is crazy. that is like saying i would never shoot someone robbing me because i love the bank i work at or soemthing crazy like that. maybe “i would never punch my best friend because i love ice cream” lmao makes no sense lmao

doc says:
I never believed in not hitting girls.Bitches get stiches too.They want equality then you get your ass whipped like a man when you hit 1.
July 23rd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
rangerjohn says:
its one thing to hit one when she hits you, but it all depends on the hitting imo. if a girl is going to stand up and box fine, but if she comes up slappin and pushing, simple restraint is all you need.
i train a couple of girls that will stand up and box, and will put your ass in the dirt too, but we get girls all the time who want to learn and end up leaving after the 1st class because they are not used to being hit and dont know how to hit back.

Dave says:
Mahorn pushing women down! HAHAHAHAAAAAAA!! That’s so rich. And to hear Lame-beer talking about Mahorn was always a “peacemaker” is too funny. Does he think that people don’t have tapes of Rick back in the day?
The WNBA definitely needs more brawls. Let’s see some bras and undies getting pulled off…. Guaranteed top ratings.

I agree, more brawls in the WNBA please. and if Rick Mahorn loses his job, he can always ref jello wrestling matches.
