Game Girl: Martha Hughes Cannon.
They called her “Mattie.” Born in 1857, she became the fourth wife of prominent Mormon stake president and patriarch Angus Cannon. But she was way more than a polygamous wife. She was a highly trained physician, a progressive reformer of public health initiatives, and a passionate suffragist. (That means she wanted women to be eligible to vote.) Many Mormon women at the time sought the vote in the face of some local and national criticism—even from other feminists at the time, who worried that polygamous wives would simply do the bidding of their husbands, effective doubling, tripling, quadrupling the Mormon male vote. Mattie wasn't some shrinking violet wife, though.
When Utah became a state in 1896 she decided to run for state senator as a Democrat—against her own Republican husband, Angus. She won the election and became the first female state senator in the United States. Utah's Governor Gary Herbert just signed a bill to send a statue of Mattie Cannon to the US Capitol, representing Utah once again.
Bravo Infection! Another classic...
I was going to get me some rally egg drop soup and I looked up a gif for it. This is what I found:

(Bummer that giphy doesn't work for posts but that was the weirdest giphy for a search for 'Egg drop soup')
Even if that didn't work out too well, I know what I am having for lunch. Egg Drop Soup and Egg Rolls. Egg Rolls are officially the new Churros!!! Behold the power of the Chinese CHURROS!!!
Insert Egg Roll here... (I don't know how to photo shop or I would).
He was asked about resting his players and he basically said since Iguodala, McCaw and Steph is out there aren't enough players to rest the others.
