I want to see whatever shot they're talking about in articles.  One wouldn't let me play it (Eurosport?)??  A clip of the shot.  Something about Moutet thought a ball was long/out and stopped playing, and Korda stuck his racket out and it landed in as a drop shot.  Some discussions say it was a dirty move by Korda - but the way it's explained I think I don't understand.  Did someone call the ball out, and Korda kept playing and won the point...but the ball wasn't out but in instead?  Anyway, I don't understand.  But it sounded like Moutet didn't like Korda playing the ball or acting like he wasn't going to play it, but then did and won the point.  To (if that's the case) I would say the point isn't over until it's over and that's on you.  That and I read that Moutet took a selfie with fans before the tie break in the 5th set???  Yikes.  Hope the selfie was a good one, and the fan can save it under the title "right before he lost".

Well, on the topic of lousy coverage...I had on Tennis Channel this morning, or ESPN2 or wherever it was on.  They were showing the Nadal Hannfman (SP?) match, which had already happened.  I just turned on ESPN2 because it said it's the Australian Open...and yay, we get to see Nadal and Hanfman again....rerun again.  Why bother????  WTH is going on?  Why not show another match of some kind.???  And then tonight loop Sportscenter all night long again and again.  I do not get this at all.

Sounds bubbleheaded enough that he and his wife would be the main investors.  There is no treatment for SARS.  So this company would be doing what no one else ever has.  A treatment for everyone for SARS.  I would say the common cold but that's rhinovirus.  But same outcome and thought process.  They're basically investing in what would be Tylenol for Covid/SARS.

Tennis journalists like Ben need to keep on Tiley to get him to answer these questions and then sports journalists need to succeed the tennis journalists, and then the mainstream journalists after that.

The people in charge of this sport are doing a grave disservice to the people who follow and support this sport. 

Speaking of which, are these folks greedy or what?!

      He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now.

      GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
