Well, I guess these things happen. My favorite UK Hoops player – ever – is Jen O’Neill. And I was super psyched she caught on with a WNBA team this season. The undersized O’Neill caught on with the league’s best squad, record-wise, and I talked with her last week about what her journey was like. I was planning on running the story below on KSR tonight.
Then, I saw this on the Internet:
Minnesota Lynx waive guard O’Neill
I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Just sick. Not only because my story was canned, but because my favorite player was out of a job – and just one day before her contract was guaranteed.
