If we’ve said it once before, we’ve said more than we should have, but it appears to be Doris’ day. The New York Titans dance team member rolled to victory in Matchup No. 2 of our National Lacrosse League Girl of the Week contest, outpolling Toronto’s Laura by a hefty margin, 470-198. So it’s on to the next round for Doris, but her game’s on hold for a bit as we take time for Matchup No. 3, which pits Emily of of the Philadelphia Wings up against Jennifer of the San Jose Stealth.

Emily’s the one you gotta mind your Ps and Qs with, ’cause she’s the one that’ll drop grammar knowledge in your face. Degrees in English and Writing will do that to a person, and we know all too well the curse of it.

You try going out to stores, shops, banks and venues and reading posters on the wall with wrong grammar. You can’t help but notice it when it’s there and it kinda makes you cringe. And what makes it worse is you can’t really say anything about it because it’ll make you come off as some sort of snob.

That may be why Emily puts so much effort into dancing for the Philadelphia Wings. If anything’s gonna take your mind off of the grammar stuff, it’s 12,000 yelling and screaming fans at a Wings game. Still, that won’t keep us from giving this here piece an extra proofread or two. Like we said, it’s a curse and you can’t help but notice the mistakes. But if you’re a regular at the Wings games, no doubt you’ve taken notice of Emily and her crew. Might be a little frustrating these days in Philly with the way the team’s playing, but you know the dance team’s gonna keep its dance on no matter what the score or record is. Why? Because that’s what dance teams do, that’s why.

It’s a bit of the same in San Jose, where Jennifer’s dancing for a team that’s not quite playing up to expectations. Thing is, Jennifer’s busy enough to keep her mind off of the disappointing record. One, she’s a full-time mother. Two, she’s a real estate agent. So between keeping the kiddos fed and working in a market that’s pretty slow and volatile all at the same time, dancing for a team that’s winning and/or losing has got to be a nice elixir for any sort of frustrations. Even if she is in NoCal. (Kidding, of course.)

And as if Jennifer needed bonus heady points, she says she’s a fan of Napoleon Dynamite. Will there ever be a time when that movie is NOT funny? Depends on your sense of humor, we suppose. But it’s a pretty safe bet that anyone who’s seen the movie is gonna hit it off right with Jennifer. Now, if Uncle Rico comes knockin’ at her door … well, nevermind. We’d also be remiss not to point out that Jennifer drew some attention to the message board, so if you’re looking at her again and have some fresh thought to add to the discussion, by all means, say hello.

So who’s it gonna be for you? Emily or Jennifer? Drop your vote now and then get back to work, you rascal.
