As the popularity of women's basketball burgeons, Karra Porter reminds us in Mad Seasons that today's Women's National Basketball Association, or WNBA had its origins in a ragtag league twenty years earlier. Porter tells the story of the Women's Professional Basketball League WBL, which pioneered a new era of women's sports. Formed in 1978, the league included the not-so-storied Dallas Diamonds, Chicago Hustle, and Minnesota Fillies. Porter's book takes us into the heart of the WBL as teams struggled with nervous sponsors, an uncertain fan base, and indifferent sportswriters. Despite bouncing paychecks, having to sleep on floors, and being stranded on road games, the players endured and thrived. Karra Porter brings to life the pioneers of the WBL: "Machine Gun" Molly Bolin, who set lasting scoring records--then faced an historic custody battle because of her basketball career; Connie Kunzmann, a popular player whose murder rocked the league; Liz Silcott, whose remarkable talents masked deeper problems off the court; Ann Meyers, who went from an NBA tryout to the league she had rebuffed; Nancy Lieberman, whose flashy play and marketing savvy were unlike anything the women's game had ever seen. A story of hardship and sacrifice, but also of dedication and love for the game, Mad Seasons brings the WBL back to life and shows in colorful detail how this short-lived but pioneering league ignited the imagination of a new generation of female athletes and fans.Binding Type: Paperback

The best toys for dogs I could ever find
Size: X Large
I have bull terriers. They chew wood for fun... But this brand in the appropiate size and in any shape has been the best thing for them! They last for a very long time (they have not even dented them and they've had one (another shape) for the last two years. Now I bought these bones so that they can play together, each graving one side of it. They have so much fun! They are worth every penny.

Best chew toy
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Kong toys are the best. They hold up through the heavy chewing stage. Definitely recommend if you have a heavy chewer.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog absolutely loved this Kong Goodie Bone at first and was super excited about it. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold up nearly as long as I expected. Within just a few hours she had already torn pieces off of it, and I ended up finding little red rubber pieces all over the house.
I wouldn’t recommend this for aggressive chewers at all. It may work better for lighter chewers or dogs that are gentler with toys, but mine destroyed it way too quickly. Disappointing because she really did enjoy it while it lasted.
