Does anyone else find it ironic that WNBA player Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury went from DUI in July to 2009 WNBA MVP in September and WNBA Champion in October? Perhaps more interesting is that the DUI was rarely mentioned at all in the last few weeks of the WNBA playoffs. What are your thoughts on this? I’m mixed. I’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

The DUI, in fact, was mentioned occasionally. As an issue, it’s died down a bit, but after this high of winning the championship, Diana has to face the court and possible jail time. No point talking about it if it’s inevitable, I guess.
Anyway, her awards were for her performance on the court, not off it. She’ll probably want to get through this tough time as far away from the spotlight as possible. If possible.
