But I really think it's a good possibility

Not only for this year, but for years to come.Redden has like 3 years left on his contract Drury too! Rosy has 2 more They all have to go SO LETS GO RANGER FANS, DO YOUR THING!. NBA Commish David Stern firmly believes that women will play one day in the NBA. In the next decade to be exact."I think we might," Stern said. "I don't want to get into all kinds of arguments with players and coaches about the likelihood. But I really think it's a good possibility."Sure, it is a great thought and it probably will happen. In the next 10 years That really is pushing it, Like Lebron had menitioned.I'd love to see someone like Candace Parker dunking on Lebron LBJ seems to doubt that.

He issued a statement himself saying:"Ten years That's like right around the corner I'll be 34 and I'll still be in the NBA I think 10 years is a little pushing it I love all sports. I love watching the girls, especially in the Olympics and in the WNBA. They're great and there are a lot of great players."Why not let women play in the NBA, seeing as though the WNBA gets most of its money from the NBA.The NBA is a much more faster and tougher game than is in the WBNA There are many women that can post up on men players. I wouldn't doubt that for a second.The NBA is a much more developed franchise. With more money and better training and the NBA keeps growing.The WNBA is still a young and developing with a small fan base and frankly it is a slower game than men's basketball in many ways. There is difference in athleticism and talent.Women's pro basketball was implemented a little over 10 years ago, the NBA over 50 years ago.Future generations may be able to see men and women together but they are at two hugely different levels right now.. Let’s get one thing straight This isn’t a done deal.

Yet.We all remember how close the Mariners have come to signing other free agents over the years (Miguel Tejada, Vladimir Guerrero, Omar Vizquel, to name three), only to have the deals fall through at the 11th hour. At 5′9″ tall and 155 pounds, Figgins isn’t your typical corner infielder. He more closely resembles a center fielder or second baseman, two positions he’s played in the past.But don’t expect to see Figgins at either of those spots in Safeco Field. While he began his career as a utility player in eight professional seasons, the Florida native has seen time at second base, third base, shortstop, left field, center field, right field, and designated hitter Figgins has been employed almost exclusively at the hot corner in the past few years.A speedy, switch-hitting leadoff man, Figgins has posted a career batting line that would have to make the Mariners think twice about keeping Ichiro atop their order: .291 AVG, .363 OBP, .751 OPS, 596 R (career-high 114 in ‘09), 280 SB (career-high 62 in ‘05), and perhaps most importantly, 412 BB, including a career-high 101 in ‘09. Suddenly, with Figgins and Ichiro, the team has an imposing pair of table-setters that will pressure any opposing defense at the game’s outset. However, it remains to be seen who the tandem will be setting the table for. Will it be Russell Branyan Jason Bay Someone else entirelyEven with Figgins on board, and the Angels suffering because of it, the Mariners have a host of other questions to answer before they can feel confident within a strong division.Still, though, you have to appreciate what this organization is doing to take the next step from a winning season to a contending season.

Approaching a quality free agent that won’t break the bank and will fit nicely within the team’s plans is a great start. Over the next few weeks, with baseball’s winter meetings upcoming, the M’s need to finish piecing together their puzzle for 2010.. Stepanek, who had lost an epic heartbreaker to Ferrer less than 24 hours ago, was poised and confident while approaching the net.After trading initial breaks in the opening set, the four predominant singles players exuded their talents to the highest degree. Verdasco's speed breaking forehand began the penetrate through the court; Lopez's lefty serve was finding its spots with ease; Berdych's two-handed backhand up-the-line was measured to perfection; Stepanek's cunning and subtle drop shots were constantly employed.Heading into the first set tie-break (perhaps the match in a nutshell), both teams remained determined while holding their service points with regularity.The Czechs', who squandered their only set point while leading 7-6, lost three consecutive points to trail one set to love. With the confidence of the first set on their side, the remainder of the match became a relative formality for the Spaniards, who converted on their lone break chance in the 11th game of the second set, based on the strength of winning 81 percent of their first serve points.Down two sets, the Czechs' wilted in the final set, succumbing to both the mental and physical strain of Friday's singles matches.Stepanek's serve began to land shorter in the box, while Berdych's volleys became easy knock offs for the Spaniards.Relying on two breaks of serve in the third set, Verdasco and Lopez closed out the contest after two hours and 47 minutes when Stepanek dumped a final forehand into the net.Berdych, who was the youngest of the four combats on court, summed up his teams performance in his post match presser.“They deserved to win this tie,” Berdych said. “Definitely, we were second in almost all the things that happened in the court today," said Berdych.With the win, Spain captured its fourth Davis Cup title since 2000, making them the sixth most successful Davis Cup team behind the United States, Australia, France and Britain and Sweden.The win also made Albert Costa the first team captain since Javier Durate to win the title in his first year of captaincy.Costa, who was jubilant on court, shared a few words of praise for the synergy of his team.“We didn’t expect to win it this quickly,” said Costa. Boasting enough talent to realistically field three teams, the championship charge led by Nadal and Ferrer couldn't have been possible without the contribution of Juan Carlos Ferrero, Tommy Robredo, and Nicolas Almagro throughout the year all of whom were in attendance on Saturday.The Spaniards will now look forward to a much needed off season, before igniting their quest for a third consecutive title next year.Spain will host none other the Roger Federer and Switzerland in a home tie in the opening round.There will be singles action on Sunday in Barcelona, likely featuring Ferrero and Lopez against Hajek and Dlouhy respectively.Please check back on Sunday for the results from the final day of tennis in this season.. "For the third, and hopefully final time, let me again state that I will continue to be the coach at Oklahoma I appreciate the history and tradition of Notre Dame. I also appreciate the history and tradition of Oklahoma, and I have been part of building that tradition here.
