Black Widow

[Williebetmore]

Trust me dude, I've known the woman since we were both 19 and have seen her when her back was acting up. If her shoes made a huge difference, she'd be wearing Nikes all the time. This isn't merely discomfort and I've seen it act up almost spontaneously. Look, I don't know what she's going through but I can assure you, neither do you.

JR,
Well said. I am so impressed by her ability to play with the kind of pain she endures - without complaining publicly. If I hurt any where near as much, I would not only avoid playing, but I would complain about it all the time - it is truly a good excuse. Jeanette just has that warrior mentality. Now that is what the article in SI should have been discussing - athlete's that can play with pain are worthy of at least some respect.

I don't have a problem with the way she dressses I have a problem with people who blow smoke up others butts. If your back hurts lets start with the feet.The most important piece of attire you should be wearing are comfortable shoes (Dr. Thomas Errico NYC Spine Surgeon or Dr Gary Sherman Podiatrist) Last year 30 points seperated Karen and Allison in the end, the gap after that was 500 points ( Jeanette) maybe those gladiator heels strapped around her ankle are helping her This might explain the Drama Queen act after every shot. Jeanette plays well and I think she can play better,,, but sometimes it's not how well you play it's how you look when you are playing. ( I wonder which is more important)

She's made herself a household name on her looks, and most of those people don't know she's not number one. They don't even know her name; they know the moniker Black Widow. If her main priority is her appearance, that's her decision. I know wearing strappy heels would be much "sexier", but personally, I play barefoot or wearing very thin-soled thongs... I have a special pair for when the floor of the pool room is less than desirable. Probably not good for my back either, but again, my choice.
