Roddick is playing with a great deal of belief in his game. The Hewitt and Murray matches demonstrated his new found ability to hold it together no matter what. He is in the mix for the US Open if he continues on. Must be tough to lose the championship match after never having your serve broken...

At this point, I'm with dwid. The Saints might be a good situation for Matt. I don't think it will happen. There could be too much pressure for the Shockey trade to pan out. <h1>Matt Jones coaches at youth camp, awaits word on NFL future</h1> I had the...

That was something. Couldn't TO's attorney have sued to keep this humiliating episode from airing? It is always tempting to watch these shows just to see how incredibly bad some of the real athletes are when asked to perform in events that are outside their comfort zone. It's educational...

Ana Ivanovic is in a bad place right now. She is in the grips of some sort of mental thing about her game. She barely escaped her match today against Lucie Hradecka. The match was entertaining at the end because both players were saving match points and Ana played a stretch were she looked like...

Nice find. Reading further from that section, Paul Pelosi is a financial backer of the league. I can see it now. If the whole thing goes belly up, wife Nancy secures a government bailout along with the government owning majority interest of the UFL. With his sports background, ultra liberal...

Not that I disbelieve it at all, but can someone provide a link which says Reyes was intoxicated ? Thank you

That pretty much encapsulates how I felt. Cooney was no Hercules from the start but when I first saw his lack of tone - for lack of a better term - for this crucial fight, I was dismayed. It seemed that whatever the opposite of steroids are, that's what he was on. Sport historian did shed some...

<h3 ="entry-er">Cowboys ought to give Matt Jones a chance</h3> 2:17 PM Wed, Jun 10, 2009</span></span> Tim MacMahon/Blogger </span>On the way to the parking lot after his press conference, Wade Phillips mentioned that the Cowboys are considering adding a receiver to the roster. They were...

I thought it was worth mentioning that several years ago the legend Bjorn Rune Borg had an answer for the terrible situation. A salute to: From American Renaissance: The Bjorn Borg Solution </font> The great Swedish tennis player Bjorn Borg is urging Europeans...

It all adds up, doesn't it? Your post prompted me to see if any information was available on how Social Security factored into birth rates. This piece supports the idea that lower birth rates do indeed coincide with generous social security pension plans: <h1>Making Kids Worthless: Social...

Who would have thought? It's been a surprising run by the Swede Soderling. He backs up his upset victory of Nadal with wins over Davydenko and Gonzalez and is on to the finals. He takes the fifth set (6-4) against Gonzalez after being 1-4 down in the set. Edited by: Quiet Speed

"I just have no respect for anybody who can't play a professional game and just be really professional out here."Â￾ What a line from Williams. Williams' exaggerated grunts on sitter volleys is about as poor sportsmanship and unprofessional as you can get. It's not a grunt as a result of...

A while back one online writer said Jones lacked competition speed. I haven't seen evidence of it. Btw, it was like music to my ears when I read Jones has been working out six hours a day in the article Don posted. He has been tagged as lazy in addition to everything else. Jerry Jones is an...

Oh boy, I remember those horrendous times. I'm glad some of the younger folks here did not have to live through those dark ages in boxing. In a lot of respects Ali was the Tiger Woods for a good portion of the era. Fighting the likes of Dunn or Wepner only reinforced every notion of black...

If everything holds true to form, Nadal-Murray and Federer-Djokovic match-ups are what the semi-finals will look like. Defending champ Ana Ivanovic and Sharapova had first round victories. A sleeper to watch is Victoria Azarenka. Just for the hec of it, as a dark horse pick Gisela Dulko might...

For youtube videos insert the file name between the tags. For instance, the url for the above video is www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKt9T-27ZIg, the part after v=, in this case uKt9T-27ZIg, is placed in the tags. Edited by: Quiet Speed

Anyone for tennis with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker? hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB2f6-U72Zk&amp;NR=1

One week till Nadal starts his defense of the title. Nadal and Federer are playing tomorrow in the Madrid Open final. Nadal has been rolling along (what else is new) this clay court season, and Roger has been lackluster. Although, Federer has progress nicely at Madrid beating James Blake...

Gueast301, here is a contrary view on taking a Vitamin A and D supplement when the Vitamin A is excessive. The thought is that Vitamin A can interfere with D. You just never know with these things. Every year there seems to be new or varying opinions on the effectiveness of this or that...

Mel Kiper's comments on Hartline on draft day were almost disdainful. I'm assuming his comments about Austin Collie were not as bad. After checking one Colts' forum, the fans were generally were unaware of Collie, but were impressed after watching some videos. Naturally, there were resisters in...

This is not an endorsement or advice, just information. Can good ole sunshine (vitamin D) fight off the flu? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enB6BuOjXY8&feature=related I might be sent to the penalty box by some for posting a Pat Robertson video. The video does consider the possible...

What's weird and disturbing is Madden's persona as a clownish figure. Watching a game meant getting a prescribed dose of superior affletes and an injection of a somewhat scatter-brained white man. A double assault. Could have very well been the intent from the beginning. Now comes the highly...

A true exhibition of accurate throwing. Also, Brees is demonstrating superb athleticism. If Mickey Loomis, the Saints' GM, who appears to see the value of white receivers, drafts Austin Collie, it would not hurt my feelings. Brees will get him the ball, guaranteed. Whether Payton is on board is...

Very happy for Captain Phillips and his family. I guess a mention should be given to the on-scene commander who is characterized as making a split-second decision to take out the pirates. From a Reuters article: link A U.S. Navy commander made a split-second decision to fire on the...
