Nancy Lieberman: She’s a Woman! She’s 50!

Posted on July 24th, 2008 2:03pm by Eric Celeste

And now she’s a WNBA player. That’s right, Nancy Lieberman, the former Dallas-area baller whom Nancy Nichols calls “the original cougar,” has signed with the Detroit Shock. She’s the oldest WNBA player to ever lace ‘em up by more than 10 years. I’m scared to mention it, but comments are on.

    Reason #162 to NOT watch the WNBA

    Who? and what?

  • rollin @ July 24th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    I thought the only 50-year old Shock Jock out there was Howard Stern?

    I’m sorry…

    They had to do something now that Estelle Getty can’t run the floor.

    If we cannot get Nancy Lieberman to perform at the Trini Lopez Raceway Park Pavillion, can we get this Sally O’Malley? I believe she can kick, stretch, AND kick! I fear we may be disappointed if we find our Nancy Lieberman can only kick and stretch.

    Now, where are our cabras?

    Jay just made me spew Diet Coke on my monitor.

  • SPW @ July 24th, 2008 at 2:42 pm

    “7 day” contract?! What? Is that how long it takes before her bursitis flares up?!

  • Wes Mantooth @ July 24th, 2008 at 2:42 pm

    What’s the WNBA? Worldwide Nude Balloonists Association?

  • DGirl @ July 24th, 2008 at 3:03 pm

    What’s next for her? Cage fighting?

    If she hits 3 or 4 in a row, will she be having a hot flash?

  • Tom @ July 24th, 2008 at 3:29 pm

    Nice one, Towski.

  • dave little @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:28 pm

    i turn 50 on Thursday. And on that day, I will become a lesbian. Don’t try to stop me.

    What’s the traditional gift for 50, anyway? Something for the old people smell?

  • dave little @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    gift certificate to furrs cafeteria

  • amanda @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    I’m mad at all of you…Nancy is one of the best athletes in Dallas history. She gave her time freely for camps and coaching, she’s the best!

    50 is the new 30, or so Oprah told me.

  • Bethany @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    Are you sure it’s not Golden Corral, Dave? That’s where the 55 Alive group meets.

    The only reason I know this is because I used to have to add it to calendars every month.

  • Towski @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    She gave her time for cramps and coaching? Awesome!

  • amanda @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    I even have a signed copy of her book…somewhere…

    Carefully Bethany, or I will Indian-give my vote…(suspense increases)

  • Towski @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    #55 is Alive!

  • Bethany @ July 24th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    Noooo! It’s just, I’ll never be 50. As all my friends know, I’m 29 forever, until I decide I’m 83.

    So I’m fascinated by this.

  • Nancy Nichols @ July 24th, 2008 at 6:57 pm

    Men will be boys.

  • OneArtDirector @ July 24th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    Wow! What an inspiring lady. Kudos to her.

  • the cynic @ July 25th, 2008 at 11:58 am

    Nancy Lieberman rocks! And if you ever met her you sure wouldn’t guess she was 50. She’s a classy lady. Something a lot of the young’uns on this blog will never get.

  • Col. Sanders @ July 25th, 2008 at 12:39 pm

    Felt like an ESPN publicity stunt.

  • the cynic @ July 25th, 2008 at 3:19 pm

    Of course it was a stunt. And it worked! We’re all talking Nancy Lieberman and WNBA and ESPN today, aren’t we? Nobody really thought they signed her for a week because they needed her jumper, did they?
