The Shock has their Electric on

It’s quite odd, but this weekend, football is king for us.

Ohio State killed last night in front of a sidelined LeBron James, and the Browns are actually on TV today in LA, so we’re all revved up.

(Remember, Cleveland is due to start 1-0 for the sole purpose of teasing us into a state of optimism.)

That said, we’d be remiss to not mention the biggest thing going on in basketball. No, not the Hall of Fame inductions – we’re talking about the WNBA Championship.

The Detroit Shock won it all, setting up the choice headline “ELECTRIC! Shock rallies for second WNBA title; Nolan wins MVP” in the Detroit Free Press.

In one of the most blood-tingling WNBA Finals, the Shock had one last rally in it — then one last stand — before it dethroned the Sacramento Monarchs, 80-75, in Game 5 Saturday before a thundering sold-out crowd of 19,671 to claim the franchise’s second title in four seasons.

“The first one you’re just excited, you’re happy,” [some lady named] Powell said. “This one’s more emotional because you never know when you’re going to get back in this situation.”

Emotional isn’t quite the word to describe the feeling of winning the WNBA title – at least not for the citizens of the winning city.

You see, we clearly remember that last year the Sacramento team won, and it subsequently brought great embarassment to our friend Tom over at SacTown Royalty. (Hey, at least this year Google will let you search for WNBA news – check the link if you’re lost.)

And Detroit? Well, you guys have got two in four years – you’re a damn dynasty in the making. Need4Sheed has checked in with a brief hello.

Detroit Bad Boys has yet to address this issue, but we’re sure they’re just busy setting up the redirect to the new site at detroitnaughtygirls.com.

It’s a dynasty. Wear it with pride.
