    Great posts as always. I mentioned that I don’t take much interests in sports but I always find your posts entertaining. This post about WNBA Results brought to my mind great sports movies that I admire. For instance, it reminded me about the movie “Chariots of Fire”. Hugh Hudson’s Oscar-winning drama told the story of runners that participated in Olympics games. One of the greatest sports films ever made.

    Here’s why I recommend it strongly:
