I know it’s football week, but I like to acknowledge Dawgs at the top of their craft. Deanna Nolan, Kara Braxton, and Kedra Holland-Corn are headed to this week’s WNBA final with the Detroit Shock. They will face defending champions Sacramento. Nolan is consistently one of the most exciting and highest-scoring guards in the league, and Braxton’s post play was a big reason why Detroit was able to win yesterday’s conference final.

The best-of-five WNBA finals begin on Wednesday night at 7:30 and will be televised by ESPN2.
