CYBERSPORT : MOVE ALONG NOW - THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SEE HERE.


Byline: Tom Hoffarth

After clicking past a home page that shows a player dunking above the headline ``Real Basketball,'' the last cyber-remnant of the women's American Basketball League American Basketball League is a name that has been used by three defunct basketball leagues in the United States:
  • American Basketball League (1925-1955), the first true professional basketball league
 (http://abl.com) we find a release that says the ABL has suspended operations and will file for bankruptcy. All home-page links to schedules, teams, ABL gear and fan club information have been disconnected.

However, if you're resourceful enough to sneak through a sidelink, there's still access to the Promark ABL Store (http://st6.yahoo.com/ abl-store/) or call (800) 696-0644 for those defunct-league souvenir needs.

And by the way, for historians' sake, we also found out that Chicago Condors The Chicago Condors was a very short-lived member of the American Basketball League (ABL). Its hometown was much larger than usual for the ABL, which mainly targeted mid-market cities, and initial team merchandising was successful.  guard Joanne McCarthy Joanne McCarthy (b. October 26 1974) is former female professional basketball player. She set the University of Illinois-Chicago career scoring and assists records in 1997.[2] These records still both stood as of 2007.  (that's Jenny's sister) played six of her team's 12 games and averaged just 2.7 points a game (http://www.ableague.com/ players /Joanne.McCarthy.html).

Renown of McNown: Outside of the material found on UCLA's official athletic site (http://www.uclabruins.com/) and a click on the FANSonly.com icon that calls him a ``Heisman Trophy Heisman Trophy

Annual award given to the outstanding college gridiron football player in the U.S. The trophy was instituted in 1935 by New York City's Downtown Athletic Club and was officially named the following year for the club's first athletic director, the player-coach
 Candidate,'' the only Web site we could find created for UCLA's Cade McNown (http://www.geopages.com/ Colosseum/ Sideline/3835/) was one put up a year ago by BruinPhilgeocities.com.

There's one more chapter left - McNown's '99 Rose Bowl performance. The game's official site (http://www.tournamentofroses.com) helps preview that.

Kiana who? Roll out the red carpet for Minna Lessig, the self-proclaimed Queen of CyberFitness and the ``Divine Diva'' of fitness, according to Flex Magazine.

Her CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast.  SportsLine-sponsored site (http:// minna.sportsline.com) is something to behold for anyone who can't wait for her Fox Sports Net workout show to begin next month.
