Lisa Horne Is Right! Chicks Do Dig the Long Ball, As Well As...

...the checkered flag, the home run, the tap-out, the slam dunk, the volley, the bump, the "goaaalll," and every other term that goes along with the sports we are passionate about.
History tells us that sports have always been a man’s world. In ancient Greece, women were not allowed to watch sports, much less play them. Even today, not all sports are accessible to women. In athletics, this is quickly being undone and here on Bleacher Report, we women are proving that we can hang with the big boys by matching wits and knowledge.
Gone are the days (at least in this forum) where girls play dumb by twirling their hair, batting their eyelashes, and asking for the 15th time in 30 minutes what a "blitz" is, complaining about the engine noise at a stock-car race, or yawning during a tennis match because she is bored watching the ball bounce back and forth.
What am I saying? Of course those girls will always exist, it's sadly the nature of the beast! I'm just glad that I'm not one of them!
These girls are at their best cuddled up on the couch, impatiently waiting for the game to end so that they can regain their man's attention span. All the while stifling the urge to yell out, "How much longer is this game going to be on? The clock said 15 minutes, but it's been close to 45; I just don't understand why it is taking so long, you said we could go shoe shopping as soon as it was over, but now the mall is about to close!"
But I digress.
