If I were ESPN I wouldn't have shown the match. The ESPN snob commentators act like everything is fine.

I am sure if he were black or gay or both he wouldn't have applauded. I noticed that ESPN snobs milked his applause and actually showed it. No class at all from ESPN too.

Rafa Update OUCH, would be more painful than the fall I took at Tennis last Wednesday.

 

RAFA SET FOR STINT ON SIDELINES

LEO SCHLINK on the Spaniard's leg injury...

RAFAEL Nadal will be sidelined for three weeks after being diagnosed with a torn anterior hip muscle during Australian Open quarter-final defeat.

The Spaniard's management confirmed he visited a Melbourne hospital today for a MRI.

"The MRI showed a grade 1 injury of his illiopsoas on his right leg," the statement said.

"He will be resting the next days once back in Spin and will start with anti-inflammatory (and) physiotherapy.

"He will his rehabilitation and pre-adaptation process to the tennis court in two weeks, starting progressively his training and practice.

"Three weeks is the normal time to totally recover and he will resume his tennis schedule as planned, playing Acapulco (in late February), Indian Wells and Miami."

Nadal was forced to withdraw when trailing Marin Cilic 0-2 in the fifth set last night.

Chung was so composed throughout the majority of the match. It was great to see him grab this match, for many reasons.

 

I saw it on ESPN Deportes. Much better than listening to those yahoo chatterboxes on the English language stream.

They are so hungry for a winner that they'll do nothing. 

 

Speaking of the Fed Cup.....the Pity Davis Cup team was announced and its the same sh!t players.....from Isner to Querrey to Johnson to an empty spot since Jack Flab Sock said no to Jim Courier. I am shocked he said no to him. He complained how he didn't have an off season and how he needed one to get into better shape. I guess he hasn't realized that when you win you don't have an off season. What an idiot. Speaking of idiot....it scares me to think that Jim Courier would actually give this racist Sandgren the last spot on the Davis Cup team.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
