    2014 U.S. Open

    Aye Yai Yai. Number 7 seed Eugenie Bouchard is out. It's not real real shocking that Bouchard lost to Makarova. The fact that seeds 2 through 9 are all gone is wacky.

    2014 U.S. Open

    I don’t recall a US Open, or any tournament for that matter, where the top women’s seeds were so decimated. The number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 seeds - all have hit the road. It’s still a very watchable lead up to the final. Caroline Wozniacki, who seems to have pulled herself together...

    Football is here again! Preseason thread!

    Jeremy Ebert had a couple of really nice grabs in a scoring drive for the Falcons last night.

    2014 U.S. Open

    In windy conditions last night, Eugenie Bouchard looked a bit untidy but managed to take a three setter against Romanian Sorana Cirstea. Btw, Cirstea romped Britain’s black hope, Heather Watson, 6-1,6-1 in the 1st round. Bouchard will have to clean up her game a little to go deep into the...

    Wimbledon 2014

    Straight sets victory for Roger Federer. Earlier Novak Djokovic took out Grigor Dimitrov. I’m pretty pleased with a Federer – Djokovic final.

    Wimbledon 2014

    You ever noticed that Milos Raonic looks like the first Darren on Bewitched? But seriously, he is going to need some magic to pull out a victory against Federer. He is two sets down and trying to get to a tiebreaker in the third at the moment.

    Pool

    Was a casual player back in the days when pubs and stuff were part of the social life, which means I was an adequate shooter. It wouldn’t take long to lose the table when the skillful players showed up. Before pool I was a foosball person and developed quite a knack for the game.

    Wimbledon 2014

    Nick Kyrgios said he was in a bit of a zone. I hope so, because if he can play at that level on a routine basis he’s trouble for a while no matter what. We’ll just have to see how he does in the future. On this day he was spectacular.

    Nadal is in the battle of his life, down 2 sets to 1 against the Greek – Malaysian from Australia, Nick Kyrgios.

    Wimbledon 2014

    No. 2 Li Na was knocked off by Barbora Zahlavova Strycova from the Czech Republic. That pretty much opens up the bottom half of the draw. Agnieszka Radwanska, Petra Kvitova and even Caroline Wozniacki could reached the finals. The other half has some interesting match ups tomorrow. I’ll strictly...

    Simona Halep played superb tennis in the final. Sharapova’s new coach is doing something right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o65rXWIi0ss

    2014 French Open

    Before Nadal came on the scene, if someone would have told me that a player is going to come along and win nine French Open titles, I would have recommended psychiatric care the poor delusional sole.

    Black Serial/Spree Killers

    This may not be spree killings or serial murder, but the “Hi-Fi murders” were as about as cruel and vicious as you can get with multiple victims, and who knows how many more times the perpetrators would have killed if they had not been arrested. Hi-Fi murders

    2014 French Open

    Maria Sharapova hung tough against Sam Stosur and won going away in the 3RD . She was down a set and a break in the 2ND and fought and gained control playing outstanding. I was impressed where many times I would shake my head at Sharapova’s game plan in these types of situations. She takes on...

    Donald Sterling racist rant

    I listened to the tape yesterday. There is a good possibility the man was drunk, stoned or in the early stages of senility, or all three. There is not too much cogent about his rant. He is all over the place. Just sayin'.
