    2023 Wimbledon

    If the seedings hold up on the men's side, Djokovic and Alcaraz will meet in the finals. Same for Swiatek and Sabalenka on the women's side. Coco Gauff is out at the hands of Sofia Kenin. Disappointed media, I've watched Kenin since she was about ten. Djokovic won in straight sets.

    2023 French Open

    Iga Swiatek earns her fourth major title and consolidates her number 1 ranking. It wasn't without a fight from unseeded Karolina Muchova. Enjoyed watching both ladies who are very skilled. Before the semi-final match with Sabalenka, I've never watched Muchova. She has a great all court games...

    2022 French Open

    I would like to see Novak Djokovic stretch his Grand Slam titles to 21. Just because. :) Naomi Osaka went down in the 1st round to Amanda Anisimova. Iga Swiatek is on a roll, she has 29 match win streak after 1st round win. Nadal has cruised in 1st round. Tsonga lost, spoiling his farewell...

    Arch Manning

    I really, really didn't want to post about the youngster. Too much can go wrong at this point of a teenagers development. But holy smokes, Arch Manning, grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli looks like he has "it". At fourteen his arm is amazing. His dad Cooper signed to play WR at...

    Sophia Kenin

    Hey, Sophia Kenin knocked off world's number 1, Ashleigh Barty, in the Rogers Cup... sometimes known as the Canadian Open. Let's see if she can parlay that into climbing the ranks. Sophia at seven years old:

    Wimbledon Tune-ups

    It’s the time of the year when grass court tennis takes the stage for a short while. A few warm-up tournaments for the big show have been taking place. Today Roger Federer won his 10th championship at Halle, Germany. He was looking in the groove. Over in England, Feliciano Lopez won at the...

    Mulling over the Saints fullback situation.

    At least the author of this article brings up Zach Line's accomplishments as an RB while at SMU. He's not that optimistic about his job security, though. I do believe he has the edge on Michael Burton, however. The disgusting idea here is the thought of AJ Ouelette playing fullback. 2019 New...

    2017 NFL Week 14

    The week begins with the Saints taking on the Falcons. I predict Crissy will have a lovefest going for Alvin Kamara, so be warned if you choose to watch. Alvin Kamara is good no doubt and the creative offense takes advantage of his skills. Zach Line is the number one FB now for the Saints. Too...

    2017 Australian Open

    Andy Murray is the #1 seed for the men. Angelique Kerber is #1 for the women, hope she can defend.

    Fake news is the specialty of mainstream media

    That's a great way to describe the scheme of disinformation by the controlled media. G. Edward Griffin operates a site aiming to chip away at the hoax media. The more the merrier. Need To Know

    Pickleball

    This game is a blast. I started playing a few months ago and have to play at least once a week. Scores of over the hill people (seniors and near-seniors), such as I, are taking it up. Having a tennis background helps but certainly not a requirement. Try it, if you get a chance.

    Wimbledon 2016

    Novak Djokovic going for his fifth consecutive major title. Which, I believe, would be a record in the open era. Don Budge holds the record with six consecutive titles. I haven't gotten into the actual matches yet. I did see that Jimi Hendrix of the tennis courts, Gael Monfils, loss.

    Davis Tull

    Second year player DE/OLB Hau'oli Kikaha blew a knee the other day. He was designated to become an edge pass rushing feature in the Saints new defensive scheme of things. This is Davis Tull's calling. Hopefully he can take full advantage of the opening.

    French Open 2016

    Roger Federer will miss his first major since 1999. That's a long time. Novak Djokovic will try to capture his first French Open title, the only major that eludes him. Seeded #2 is Andy Murray who is coming off his recent victory at the Italian Open, beating Djokovic in the final. He and coach...

    Agnieszka Radwanska

    Agnieszka Radwanska has a tennis game that so classic that she would have been very dangerous in any era. All of her terrific skill and talent has not been quite enough to to take a major in today's power age. She is still #3 in the world. Watch how great it is to watch a graceful lady play tennis.

    Miss Georgia Wins Miss America – She’s a Sheeple

    Obviously this young lady was not well enough informed to offer an opinion on the topic of deflategate. But because there was a question on the matter, Tom Brady cheated in her mind. The US has become a bunch of gullible sleeping zombies. That’s the moral of this short story. Take a look at...

    Do You Play Golf?

    I'm curious how many members play golf. There is a fair amount of interest on the forum, so wondering if it is result of being a golfer or is just being a fan. I do not play but have watched through the years. I found it entertaining and relaxing and appreciate the skill.. I have chipped a few...

    2015 French Open

    I predict the Americans will take Paris by storm this year. Not! I think there are two American men seeded this year, that’s it. In the best of times, Americans were never a force on the red stuff, but this is grim. The American women have four seeded in the top 32. The linebacker, her sister...

    I have no idea who Marcus Smart is. Don’t care to know. The NBA is not my thing these days. I generally avoid it like the plaque. Headline did catch my eye, however. One player cheap shotted another with a low blow. I figured, in all probability, it was a black on White assault so I...
