Angel McCoughtry is a guard?

“Lori Ann was nowhere to be found, but the other half – the kinder half, she’ll remind you – wanted to make sure everybody knew how much she loved her point guard.

So, that other half, which you probably know as Angel McCoughtry, broke into Dream point guard Lindsey Harding’s Media Day interview and planted one on her left cheek.

"Angel’s my special girl," said Harding with a laugh.

That’s the Angel that Angel McCoughtry would prefer you to know. But she knows – because she hears it all – that the person you know is not Angel. The person you know is Lori Ann, an alter-ego that was born on the pebbled courts of crime-torn East Baltimore about a decade ago.

"She comes out whenever she wants to," McCoughtry said of Lori Ann. "I haven’t talked to her in a while, but usually she comes out in intense situations.

"I think I had too many cells, which kind of formed her in my brain, which made the illusion of Lori Ann come out," she continued in a deadpan, before breaking down and laughing. "

“As such, Angel McCoughtry’s facing the same problem that’s long complicated the roles of women in the workforce: namely, how to split the difference between underwhelming and overbearing. Her workplace just happens to be televised on ESPN.”

I am beginning to understand this woman. I became Lori Ann on an older, married male coworker who was bugging me once (confessing through msn chat, yes it happens) while he was in the room, like a coward. I walked over and told him to stop making me uncomfortable or else, and then I deleted him from my contacts. I get you. “Lori Ann” is “problem solving”. I’m going to stop acting like it’s weird for females to show emotion or aggression in sports. She’s not calling someone a “cancer patient” a la Kevin Garnett, she might have been right about the media zoning in on a female athlete who exhibits aggression and making her look like a “tiger”.
This sort of thing is weird, and when I think about it, I don’t want it to be the norm for powerful women in sports who are into “problem solving”, no matter how they show it.
Also, sorry for the very long offtopic rant post, I’ll just ban myself now.
