ESPN Feature article on Sue

I've seen that before, pretty cool video. I think it came out before the beginning of the '16-'17 season. Seems like a mutual admiration society.

The article really does a fine job of painting a picture of Sue Bird. The gender preference thing does not come as a surprise. However, I don't know how many remember this, but early in her pro career she was linked publicly as an item with a male pro athlete; his name escapes me now. Then poof. To say she's an opposite of her girlfriend is an understatement.

Strong person. Leader. Fearless. One of my sports' heroines.

It was Mike Bibby, Henry's son, who played for the U. of Arizona and later in the NBA.

As former teammate Swin Cash says, "Sue and 'controversy' never mixed. She wasn't going to say certain things in the media.


Well, except for that spanking thing all those years ago. (a bet she would have won anyway)

Day is coming very soon when there won't be any more "coming out" because no one will have to think of themselves as "being in" in order to "come out." And on that issue (as well as so many others), Boneyard is an awesome place to hang.

Sue Bird is simply an icon. I hope she plays several more years.

How good is Sue Bird? UConn down 1 with 20 seconds to play. Even if Dee, Maya and Stewie are on the court, you want the ball in Sue's hands.

Sue and Megan seem happy....for the most part, whenever Sue is at a UConn game they are together. I am happy for Sue. Sue Bird is a great person.....if she isn't playing overseas or during seasons breaks, she gives back to UConn by training with the teams.

I'm comfortable with her taking the shot too.
