I don't know about a replay, but if you go to this site, there is a clip of that segment on the show:

Just click on one of the videos available on the page, like the Carly Patterson one, and once the video window opens, there is a selection of other clips. The one with Sue and Tamika is called "I Love Billy."

Tell me if you found it :)

JMF - Are you a member of the Mercury Rising booster club? Sept 10th Karoke night is exclusive to the booster club. It will be at Majerle's & the team will be there also. We had so much fun last year. Timmsy was our Master of Ceremonies. If you are in the club, you should have gotten an email about the open practices & karoke night. Also, I have a long list of 63 people that we didn't have email addresses for. heythere & I called everyone on that list & talked to or left a message for each one. There were a few wrong numbers. If you're a member & didn't get an email or a phone call, send me a private message so I can check it out. If you're not a member it's not too late. We have several events planned plus we do things during the off season from Oct thru April.

ps: As for Sept 4th lunch, your friends are welcome to join us. It will be a great party & it's not like they'll be the only ones that haven't met anyone! :lol: That's why we're calling it a "meet & greet" lunch.

I am not in the Booster club. Right now I am so on a budget and looking for a job as tech writer or librarian, contract, PT, FT, anything! Thanks for the info. I think I will go to the Karoke. I have organized groups of women to go to games from a lesbian social club. I'm planning a group on Sept. 8th. And I go to all the games by my lonesome. Yikes, I'm out now!

I've been out for years! LOL

With this group, the more the merrier! They are the most open-minded people I've met. I love 'em!

JustAMercuryFan,

Sorry to tell you this, but the Karoke night is a booster club exclusive. :( The booster members paid a membership fee and part of the fee was to provide some exclusive events. However, it is not too late to sign up and the fee is less if you are STH. 1carol is a member of the booster club leadership and can get you hooked up.

Many of the events we discuss on this board, especially with our out-of-town friends, are not planned through the Mercury organization. And if there are players at any of these, it is not by direct invitation and a bonus. Many of these events are impromptu "Mercury Brigade" events. The Mercury Brigade is composed of a bunch of us "board junkies" and got it's name off the ESPN board from Veproof, a Mystics fan and general cam1974 hater. He thought he was insulting us by giving us the nickname, but we embraced it.

Phoenix is unique in many ways from the other WNBA cities. We have a tremendous amount of exposure and open communication with ownership, management, and the players which is not as available in the other cities. And it is something we can not take for granted or abuse but appreciate it for what it is. :lol:

This year's season ticket holder "special price" for booster club membership is only $20. In addition to special events access, you'll receive a Mercury Rising canvas tote bag, T-shirt, coffee/tea mug, & other goodies.

You deserve 100 atta girls for this post. It would be great if Mercury mgmt received appreciation equal to the complaints :wink:
