There are few sports I won’t watch. Nascar is one, and up until last night, the WNBA was another. But after watching the Seattle Storm’s heroic 75-69 playoff win over the Houston Comets I’m officially hooked.

What took me so long? Especially since the Storm won the goddamn WNBA title last year? I could offer up a number of lame excuses, but the truth of the matter is that, until last night, I’d never given the league a chance. I appreciated the WNBA’s existence, but I was convinced I wouldn’t find it worth following. Obviously, me = big dumb dope. Feel free to clobber me upside the head with Title IX.

The next game is Thursday night. Watch it on ESPNor better yet, buy tickets and see it live.
