(W)PBA

Yep, that's right. There's a "W" in "PBA" now. Whilst working from home today I took a quick smoke break to turn on ESPN.

Sure enough I was greeted with 10 pins and a nicely waxed wood floor. Then the camera panned out. And a well dressed, fairly attractive, slender young lady wearing a skirt hucked a ball down the lane with great form.

Maybe it was attractive only because it was unexpected, who knows, but it struck me as something that could catch on.

10 minutes later I still hadn't seen a single strike and only one spare.

And the love affair was over as quickly as Kimbo Slice got knocked out on Saturday night.

UPDATE:
I kept watching, because as much as I try not to, I still rubberneck a bit when passing a car wreck on the highway. Two strikes and a great spare pick up on a 3,5,10 split. So okay, Lisa Leslie can dunk, too. Does that mean I watch the WNBA? Nope. Does this mean I'll watch the WPBA, nope. But it sure beat reading emails and looking at spreadsheets.

Turns out women have been bowling for a while. The "U.S. Women's Open" they call it. Go figure! Does that ever confuse anyone? Isn't that what the women's golf tournament is called?
