 Posted: 01/05/05 11:41 pm ::: Samuel Jackson studied... |

my friend e-mailed me and said Sam Jackson was on ESPN - He said he studied tape of Pat Summit to prepare for his role as Coach Carter.
oh, and speaking of men talking about Women's Basketball - it's high time someone in the WNBA challenged that punkass, Tom Arnold to a game of one on one. He needs to shut the ^%$# up!

Tom Arnold was probably joking. I kind of like his show..(I really like John Sally.) They have all been very respectful towards the women's players. (LL was so funny on that show..esp when she was talking about KG.) Of course there is the occassional jokes, but they joke about EVERY sport. (Sue Bird was gonna play him, but she had a knee problem at the time. He knew very well she woulda kicked his butt.)

The bottom line is Tom Arnold has made too many foul comments about Women basketball players.
So Sam Jackson voted for Bush.
Bush has often spoken favorably about Women basketball players. Unlike that idiot Tom Arnold.

Taurasi thought it was hysterical.......Once again, they joke about EVERY sport..I didn't know who he was in 1999, but all of the times I've seen the show, they were respectful towards the women players or just as respectful as they were towards anyother sport.
I'm not saying that Tom Arnold isn't an idiot because he is..But he has respect for the women players. (well as much respect as he has for any other type of athlete.)
Wasn't Bush going to change title IX?

It is rare that female athletes are on TBDSSP. Usually, the female guests are actresses, models, or singers, not athletes.
The few athletes who are on the show are usually Jennie Finch types...really attractive, glamour women. The male guests have no such restrictions.
The one interview that I did like on the show was with Michael Cooper, who discussed the women's game and was able to explain why basketball is basketball and athletes are athletes.

Serena's on quite a bit, (She was on the other night, she looked really nice.) I just like John Sally I guess. He has said so many positive things about the women's game..that, I'm just glad that some sports shows reckognise it, which is why I guess I like the show.

OTOH, they are more likely to have female athletes than comparable ESPN shows. When was the last time PTI had a female athlete on for Five Good Minutes? How about the Budweiser Hot Seat on SportsCenter?

| DT is the exception and not the rule when it comes to appearing on these shows. As Cam pointed out, a majority of the female atheletes that they do have on are the more attractive ones. However, at least they do have them on, which is more than I can say for some other sports shows out there.

Good point Alepp!
That really puts things in perspective. I remember I almost brought a sign to a televised game that read:
"Jim Rome Hates Me"
but I decided not to give him the satisfaction of recognizing his existence.

I've gotta agree with that. I don't like Tom Arnold (Yes, John Sally's a good guy) or Romey. When UCSB was in the soccer NCAAs, I kept thinking how galling that must be to Jim Rome, the UCSB graduate who absolutely hates soccer. I'm not a soccer fan, but I don't make fun of those who like it as Romey does.
