No, he just said his admiration for her is even greater now than before. The last three sets of the Federer-Gilles Simon match were fantastic. (Fed advanced...of course). It must have been one of the toughest 2nd round matches Federer has ever had to play. The depth of the men's game is...

After losing the first set Venus went off on a medical time out. She came back on limping with a bandage around her leg. Immediately, I smelled a rat. Sure enough, Zahlalova's game dropped while Venus has been playing well since taking the break, winning the next set 6-0. Now she is serving for...

Wow! Venus just lost the first set to some young girl from the Czech Republic who is ranked, I think, #95 in the world. In the lopsided women's game where even players in the top 20 lose 6-1, 6-1 to top 10 players that is extremely rare.

Venus Williams wearing an outfit as trashy as the ones her sister wears.

Donald Young knocked out 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 by Marin Cilic of Croatia in the first round. Patrick McEnroe said he was disappointed in Young while Aussie Darren Cahill said he'd thought there'd be a chance for an upset in that match. Although Cilic has had a bad year - dropping to #15 in the world - I...

I agree with the following from Fox Sports: Belichick was being outcoached on Sunday before the game even started. He decided to bench Wes Welker for the game's first series... But did I miss something? Did Welker get a DUI last week that we didn't hear about? Earlier this season, Ryan...

Monfils went through despite losing the first two sets to an unknown Dutchman - De Bakker - who had a complete meltdown late in the third set. Federer and Roddick seem to be cruising in their first round matches. Wozniacki and Sharapova won as well.

Roger Federer is the defending champion (he beat Murray in the final) and on a bit of a high after beating Rafa Nadal in London last month. On the women's side defending champion Serena Williams is not playing. Caroline Wozniacki is the #1 seed but is yet to win a grand slam. Already in the...

Ah well. The Australian Open just started. Sharapova is up early in the first. Enough of Amerikwa.

Edelman with a great punt return

Belicheck not looking like a brilliant coach. This will be the second time in four years when he's had the best team - remember the perfect season? - only to fail in the play-offs.Edited by: Matra1

If the Jets had scored that first, almost chip shot, field goal it would be really bad for the Pats. They are looking like paper tigers. But there's plenty of time left.

missed part of the game. Welker was benched for his interview? Bad move by Belichick. I agree. That opening drive might have led to a TD with Welker instead of an interception. Belichick did what stupid whites (and men) are always doing. He is playing the moralistic White Knight. He will only...

Antonio Cromartie of the NY Jets, who has 9 children with 8 different women, has been talking about Tom Brady. From CBS (I'm using italics because the quote symbol seems to have disappeared): Speaking with the New York Daily News, Cromartie said the Jets "don't give a damn"Â about Brady, and...

A shocking meltdown from the Canadian team in the final against Russia. They were winning 3-0 well into the 3rd period only to have Russia score 5 unanswered goals against them. I guess Canada didn't bring their "eh" game into the 3rd.

Well, for the last few years the USA v Canada showdown has been the most exciting hockey game of the year, including the NHL, so it should be interesting. Russia just defeated Sweden in a shoot-out in the other semi-final so the winner plays the Russians. I can't see either the USA or Canada...

Sweden defeated Canada in a penalty shoot-out. It was easily the best game of the tournament so far. I think Canada might have a goaltending problem. Olivier Roy looked very shaky.

I knew it would be Kravitz before I even clicked on the link and I never heard about the whole "Pacers are too white, is Larry Bird a racist?" thing. Kravitz is a long time serial offender.

Troy Smith's freak-out at Singletary was astonishing. I've never seen a QB shouting as angrily as that at his own coach.Edited by: Matra1

I use to have teams I supported when I was a child but since adulthood I've generally had teams I cheer against - Man United especially. However, I generally support famously right wing Lazio and Milan in Italy (depending on the make-up of the team), and "Franco's team" Real Madrid in Spain...

Well, they've maintained an all Basque line-up up till now. A few years ago they did a poll of supporters giving them a choice between maintaining an all Basque team and being relegated or having non-Basques and winning the championship. The majority - something like 75% - said maintaining an...

The fact that England and the USA already have the infrastructure might have even worked against them. Not only can they be relied upon to come in last minute if the Russians or Qataris can't deliever but for all we know FIFA reps may be in on many of the infrastructure contracts. There...

McNabb gets benched for the rest of the season. Yet just the other week the Redskins gave the 33 year old a new long term contract reportedly around $88 million. These owners have more money than sense.
