    I turned it off after they went to a tie break thinking ND looked taxed.

    Besides that earful of rubbish about a Brit winning Wimbledon (as if he's that Brit), is him and his awful cuts. I don't know why but he always looks in need of a bath to me. Further, that thing that he does with his bottom lip makes me think of an old man missing his lower dentures. I don't know if he's just biting his lip but it looks terrible and then they flash to the mother and I see the resemblance. If I pick a bird....ostrich comes to mind....but then I feel I'm being unkind to the ostrich.

    Don't get me started on ESPN. They're always trying to manufacture a star and convince everone that no sport can thrive unless they prop one up. It's a treat when they put down soccer for being unappealing to Americans and lament over what shouid be done to "fix" it. They acknowledge that it's the world's most popular sport but alas it needs work because Americans aren't fascinated by it. Uhm, just let the rest of the world enjoy their sport then. It's too bad they have such a monopoly on so many different sports. The only thing they cannot get their hands on is the Super Bowl and generally the finals of most major tournaments.

    I agree on everything you said. That's why I told Brad and Chrissie Evert that Brad was an awful broadcaster/commentator...lol...and that the whole ESPN crew pimped Andy too much and other players who arent that great. Andy Murray's game is just plain simple boring. There is nothing there that tells me he is the best/number 1 in the world material. I dont know why Federer lost to him. If Murray ever becomes number 1 I will be done with tennis...I wont be able to stomach it.

    Yes, Murray is goofy looking and his mom...cant stand the woman.....

    Even though it might be obvious that she used or abused the rules and people see it as unfair, the flip side is regulating that isn't so cut and dry. As long as the possibility exists that something could be wrong then the player will have that advantage. It says a lot about the players who do it but the reaction or degree of reaction is proabably relative to the specific player who does it.

    Azarenka and her LMFAO buddy will always get me to change the channel.

    Andy Murray has that really great narrative that they can use as a backdrop for any major event but he's not nearly as interesting as that story...sadly, he probably won't be going away anytime soon but I hope everyone else steps his game up and pushes him to the background. I still don't get why the U.S. men's drought since Pete Sampras.

    Tell me about it...Murrays game is so boring to watch...now Federer I could watch all night long...love his game win lose or draw....I just dont get whats so great about Andy Murray...ESPN praises him till the cows come in...its absurd and I told them during a chat on facebook...LMAO

    Nicolas Almagro plays very well against David Ferrer he won the 1e set en the 2e set 4-3

    I can't stand either player. Ferrer is the male Sanchez V. He is boring to watch and dont know why he is ranked so high.

    Almagro has more flare but thats not saying much and I cant stand his serve or attitude....lol

    Epic match! Djoker started off slow but we've seen this before. Wawrinka was amazing and pretty hot when fired up! I watched the entire match from 3am until 9:30 this morning!

    Djoker is a beast!

    Oh and I saw the pic on Twitter. Really Funny smile.png

    I made it only till 4 am..I would have gone to bed at 10 this morning had I seen it all..lol...I DVR it and saw the ending again on ESPN2.

    Too bad that tiny little towel was on his privates..lol

    Oh boy what a game between Djokovic and Wawrinka.

    5 sets 1-6 7-5 6-4 6-7 (5) 12-10.

    Must admit that I went to sleep not long after the first set, but woke up to that score line. Hopefully I get to see a replay.

    It was an awesome match. I DVR it but missed most of the last set but got to see it a few min ago again on ESPN2.

    Here is a pic of Novak after the match..hehe..a bit revealing but who cares...lol

    Nevermind cant get the pic up...but the pic is of him with his coach etc...and him totally naked with just a towel on his privates...lol

    ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

    Jesse Lee Sofer who played Will Munson on ATWT was a regular on the recently cancelled, Mob Doctor. Dumb concept so it was not surprise when it was cancelled, but he did some solid work so he might get some more prime time work.

    Tamara Tunie was a mediator on The Good Wife last week. She is an ageless beauty, simply stunning.

    Goes to show that talent means nothing sometimes. LOL! The only explanation must be that he has a look that they like.

    I saw both Sofer and Tunie in their shows. So Mob is gone?? I think I watched half of a show...lol

    Paul Wesley (one of the other guys he beat out) also used to be on soaps - he was Max, Tammy's adopted brother, on GL, and Jake's nephew on AW.

    The soaps used to bring so many good people to primetime - all of those guys, even if I didn't watch their shows too often at the time (like DAYS), I could see the potential. These days that's tough to find on a lot of soaps.

    I did not recognize him...I do remember him.
