I saw one on family guy last night that was not nice at all but I still found it funny. It's just jokes so I don't take the negative mentions serious.

Sports Jeopardy (online at crackle.com) had a WNBA category in the most recent episode. The 3 answers I remember were:
Coach that led Detroit Pistons to 2003 title
Retired WNBA player who just joined the San Antonio Spurs coaching staff
MVP Player who led the Houston Comets to the title in 1997
Someone answered correctly on the first two and there was a wrong answer on the last - Sheryl Swoopes - and no one else tried another answer.

Friday night I went to a comedy club in San Francisco. Comedian Jacob Sirof, the opening act, made a joke that the WNBA would be better served to get rid of the women and rebrand itself where the 'W' stands for White, and have Dirk Nowitzki vs. Pau Gasol. The rest of his set wasn't any better.

The Liberty were mentioned in a Jeopardy clue tonight. Who is Isiah Thomas was the correct response.

I'd say that's because the last one was not NBA related. The other 2 were probably more notable because they received more press coverage?

On ESPN's Around the Horn today, the WNBA got two separate mentions:
1) A question was posed as to whether winning the championship or a private concert by Prince was more memorable.
2) Kevin Blackestone used his face time to salute the retirement of Tameka Catchings (oops).

I didn't hear the commenting, but Wilbon and that Muck Raker Korn mentioned the WNBA in their Happy Trails segment. A good thing I couldn't hear anything because the jerk on that show never has anything good to say about the W._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek

God is everywhere, except at a WNBA game. Nobody goes to those.

Cheap laughs. It's basically lazy writing. Nothing deep or clever about it, just playing on general assumptions and going for the low hanging fruit.
It's the type of writing I expect from my "Intro to Creative Writing" students at the beginning of the semester. By the end it gets them marked down.
