Probably 0…LOL  I was so thrilled that Delpo beat Djoker. I couldn't believe Novak melted down that way after his loss from Delpo. He even refused an interview after the match. Novak hasn't looked right since Paris….although in Monte Carlo he didnt look good either. His win at the Canadian Open last week was pure will and guts and luck. He looked awful at the tournament as well and 3 guys had a chance to beat him earlier there too and they didn't.

Yeah, that took me by surprise when I heard it too.

 

Tennis in Rio is a real sh*tshow at this Olympics. The surface is as slow AF and many of the players are either fighting illness or getting weird injuries and the crowds have been incredibly rude at times.  There are no points for this either. 

I tried to tune into the match between DelPo and Sousa and saw some fight break out in the stands. I'm just over it already. The only thing that will save it for me is if the 3 or 4 people I like that are still in the draw get a chance to get a medal. 

 

John Isner stayed at home thinking he was going to vulture the U.S. summer hardcourt season but Nick snatched that BB&T title that John had assumed he owned. I saw John even tried to change into his Georgia Bulldog colors but it didn't work.

ESPN was saying  how he was going for number 4. BB&T has no competition thats why he keeps winning it…LOL. This year he was unfortunate that Nick played it….LOL  He loves playing the summer tour because the first 2 or 3 tourneys no one good plays them so he wins them….LOL.

Wow, he has a lot of nerve saying that considering he hasn't won anything. Delpo=US Open Champion…how many times has Johnson beat Nadal, Roger or Novak? 0 I guess being the number 1 american player for one week gives you the right to smack talk.LOL.  I hope they meet and Del Po beats him badly. No American player deserves it over Del Po.

 

 

LOLOL…He was close 2nd round….. 

I doubt Americans care…they know how bad USA male tennis is right now. I am sure most would rather see Delpo instead of another mediocre American male tennis player.

I see Sam opened his mouth too in that article. Sam is another useless American player.

      The shoulders and sleeves are too tight. He'd benefit from a larger size. The yellow arrows show where the shoulder cut should actually be placed in my opinion. I don't mind the granpa fashion per se, I just have an OCD with sizes LOL
    • Today May 11, 2025, Pope Leo briefly addressed the crowd in the square.  He sang the prayer to Mary and then said:   Dear brothers and sisters, The immense tragedy of the Second World War ended eighty years ago, on 8 May, after having claimed sixty million victims. In today’s dramatic scenario of a piecemeal third world war, as Pope Francis stated many times, I too address the world’s leaders, repeating the ever-timely appeal: “Never again war!”. I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. May everything possible be done to reach an authentic, just and lasting peace, as soon as possible. Let all the prisoners be freed and the children return to their own families. I am deeply saddened by what is happening in the Gaza Strip: may there be an immediate ceasefire! Let humanitarian aid be provided to the stricken civil population, and let all the hostages be freed. On the other hand, I have welcomed with satisfaction the announcement of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and I hope that through the upcoming negotiations, a lasting accord may be reached soon. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/angelus/2025/documents/20250511-regina-caeli.html
    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far.
