Seles Stabbed Again… This Time by Cupid!

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Monica Seles is apparently dating upstate New York billionaire Tom Golisano, who owns the Sabres. Can you blame her? Look at this face! Now I should make a joke about the score being love-love. BUT I WILL NOT!

NBC gets Federer and Nadal to re-play Wimbledon today

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Roger Federer winning his first French Open today was so exciting that NBC somehow got him and Nadal to replay last year's Wimbledon final live on TV today. Or at least that's what NBC wanted us to believe.

Don’t F with Serena Williams, or else….

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

"I'm going to get you in the locker room for that, you don't know me." Seren'a harsh words for Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, who cheated by hitting the ball with her body (and winning the point).  I guess Serena didn't feel the need to follow through on her threat since she ...

Novak Djokovic gives semi great head

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Novak Djokovic makes an attempt at being funny in this viral video for head.com. Excuse me for not loving this like everyone else, but I am not a fan of the Serb. After attending his match with Andy Roddick last year at the US Open, his actions rubbed me the ...

Anna Kournikova beer pongs Jimmy Fallon

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

I have said it numerous times to numberous people that I think Jimmy Fallon is probably the unfunniest man in America. Not that he isn't a nice guy, just that humor isn't his thing. Did you watch his monologue last night? I cringed after every piss poor joke. You need ...

The Serbs should be mad at the Russians, not the Bosnians

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Bosnians and Serbs clashed on Friday at the Australian open as Novak Djokovic, from Serbia, whooped Amer Delic, from Bosnia. Chairs were thrown, an innocent woman was hurt, and fights broke out in the streets after the match. Unfortunately, this ethnic fighting is completely misdirected. Our favorite tennis star, Ana Ivanovic ...

Putin Building a Sports Arsenal, But Not With Marat Safin

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

The NY Times has a great (but long) write up of Putin's aspiration to make Russia a sporting superpower again. Russia's hockey league has hired several former NHL stars, such as Jaromir Jagr, Alexei Yashin, and Alexei Morozov -- in tennis, 7 of the top 14 women are Russian -- in soccer, they ...

Maria Sharapova Hates Cold Weather and Furry Animals

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Russian ex-pat Maria Sharpova gets all bundled up in the Russian version of Vogue magazine that hits the Moscow news stands in November. Personally, I think she's wearing way too much in these photos. Can't the Russian Vogue editors at least put her in a Mink bikini or pool-side with ...

Novak Djokovic showed a lot of class in the post match interview

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Let me first say that I think Novak played a smart match. He used Andy Roddick's power against him by blocking back most of his serves. What wasn't smart was the way he handled the post match interview. I know Roddick said some things (probably in jest), but Djokovic should ...

The Real Reason Fish Couldn’t Beat Nadal

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Last night I was bored and polled Twitter on the Mardy Fish / Rafa Nadal match. Samg62 predicted it best.
