It is so wonderful to see her on the court again. I know it is probably just an illusion but she appears to be taller. She is intense but yet always so calm and under control. To quote the late Stuart Scott Bri is "cool as the other side of the pillow".

but Jack Buck had been using the phrase for decades before Scott emerged. I'm not saying Buck coined it, but I heard him trot it out many times back in the '70s and '80s.

I was saying she isn't "as cool" she's "cooler"

I use that quote all the time, the way he said it.

Gotcha. *
