DT & Cappie Get Some Blogging Love, Other Olympians in the News

Wil Cantrell blogs about the Sun in "The Bright Side of the Sun." Until this week, he hated everything about women's hoops, even though he's got two talented U.S. Olympians in Phoenix in Cappie Pondexter and Diana Taurasi and a slew of other top-notch hoop stars.

On of the original cornerstones of the league, Leslie is in the midst of her farewell season. Something tells me, however, that even after she hangs up her hightops at the end of the year, we haven't seen the last of LL. ... Sylvia Fowles and Candice Dupree, two USA gold medalists (Dupree got hers at the '05 World University Games playing alongside three future Olympic gold medalists in Seimone Augustus, Fowles and Pondexter), are meshing together and doing great things for the Chicago Sky, writes Mechelle Voepel.
