Funny to see the tennis comments. I was gonna post about Roger going to set 5.
I have very little interest in much of tennis, but fifth sets of major matches are about as good as sports gets (especially when there are sweaty 18-22 year-old women involved).
Federer is a likable guy and a gifted athlete. He works hard and constantly strives to win. Unlike Agassi, who disgusted me with his laziness. I was not pleased when he got the career slam. Imagine if he actually gave a shit during the first half of his career?
The Sweaty Lady Invitational, which, as Mark noted, plays solely inside my head on rainy Fridays, has 5 set matches. And post-tennis frolicking in the ladies' locker room.
Two sets worth of frolicking may be worthwhile with certain sweaty ladies, but not others. I would not enjoy going two sets after the finals of this year's French Open in light of the finalists.
I once was about 6 to 9 feet away from Maria Sharipova. I would enjoy 5-set frolick with her.
Mark - agreed on Showdown. With the exception of its appearance during the Woody Harrelson-Bill Murray match in Kingpin, it's a really underutilized song .
Rob Dibble is on a 10 minute rant against the draft, prospects, and young players. And not just in baseball. All sports. Finally, after hundreds of words of nonsense, we get to the crux of it - nobody rated Rob Dibble as a good prospect.
Dibble also let us know Mike Lowell is bigger than he thought, and told a "story" about Adam Dunn eating two cheeseburgers while discussing politics with him.
I'm actually rooting for the Mets to get out quickly in hopes that a commercial will break up this rant, although I'm pretty sure that he's kept the momentum going through one commercial break already.
I don't know how you watch Nats games. These guys are brutal.
I make sure to flip by at least a couple of times a game just to hear the stoopid shit that comes out of Dibble's mouth. Carpenter is awful too of course...but seriously, the Hawk Harrelson White Sox broadcasts are actually worse. Hard to believe, but 100 percent true.
Well...you nailed it rob. The Lakers could run away with last night's game whenever they wanted. They just didn't feel like it until the last two minutes of OT.
I think this happened to Shem one time.
ReplyDeletefederer down 2 sets to 1. anyone care?
ReplyDeleteYes. I'd like to see Federer get the career slam. He won the fourth 6-1.
ReplyDeletezoltan always did like the swiss. he's into cheese, chocolate, and impartiality.

Now that you think about it, a lot of things are better when there are sweaty 18-22 year-old women involved...

ReplyDeleteI'm also into over-engineered watches and pocketknives.
ReplyDeleteAnd as much as I like sweaty young women, I don't know of a women's tournament that plays five set matches.
ReplyDeleteDon't rain on TR's parade. He's happy in his little fantasy world.
ReplyDeleteRemind me not to read the gtb comments when watching the matches during my extended lunch break...tape delay, she is a bitch.

ReplyDeletehey teej, wanna know what happens?
ReplyDeleteWell, I heard Bruce Willis is actually dead, so I guess the kid wasn't totally full of shit the whole movie.

ReplyDeleteZoltan will splash the pot whenever the fuck he pleases...

ReplyDeleteVee make big trouble for Moose and Squirrel.
ReplyDeleteYa know..."Showdown" by Electic Light Orchestra is pretty fucking underrated.
ReplyDeletejust watched 'casino royale'. first time i've seen daniel craig as 007. when was bond simultaneously such a badass and a pussy?

ReplyDeleteWho has bigger thighs: TR or Svetlana Kuznetsova?

ReplyDeleteThe Honduran unis: prison chic or god awful?
ReplyDeleteSo no one told the Pens they had a game tonight?
ReplyDeletegod awful, unquestionably. reggie white would have a few things to say about latin american fashion sense.
ReplyDeletecourageous goal, that. bocanegra nearly took a boot to the head.
ReplyDeleteNice top of the first so far for the Nats...
ReplyDeleteIs that David Wells I hear in the TBS booth?

ReplyDeleteAnd Dice-K looks like he wants to throw about 140 pitches in 5 or less innings today...

ReplyDeletei didn't think it possible, but dice-k is harder to watch than wakefield. that's quite a feat.
ReplyDeleteNick Johnson has already played 16 more games this year than last...durable that guy.
ReplyDeleteWe're a Red Sox big inning away from douchebag Vincente Padilla drilling a guy in the head.
ReplyDeletequite a final 9 shaping up in jack's tournament. think i can convince my kids that the sprinkler is no longer fun?
ReplyDeleteThis Cubs/Reds game might never end.
ReplyDeleteAlfonso Soriano disagrees with me.
ReplyDeletei guess we're not supposed to be shocked by tiger any more, but good gracious.

ReplyDeletereally feels like the lakers can run away with this whenever they feel like it.

ReplyDeleteindeed. i believe david stern had something to do with it.
