So Many Pundits Writing Off Federer
I’ve been seeing so many articles and videos of people picking Nadal to win Wimbledon. I want to see Federer prove them wrong. He’s been playing flawless tennis - few unforced errors and incredible serving. I think it’s going to be very, very difficult to break Federer’s service games. But I would have to agree the final is going to be a very tough match because it’s very clear to everyone Nadal has improved his game on grass. But seriously, how can anyone write off Federer, the guy has won the last 5 Wimbledon’s and 65 straight matches on grass and still counting.
WHY IS ESPN2 SHOWING DOUBLES
Federer is playing a semifinal match. I didn’t get up this early to watch doubles!!! What is wrong with these broadcasters?
Kobe Bryant Better Than Michael Jordan? HELL NO!
I just saw this article on the NBC Sports website:
Better than MJ? Kobe enters the debate
I’m sorry, Kobe is a great player and I think he’s the best all-around player in the league today but he does not replace Michael Jordan as the greatest player ever. Anyone familiar with Jordan’s various accomplishments and statistics knows that Kobe does not stack up.
2008 NBA Playoffs Conference Semi-Finals So Far
Just like the first round, the East still doesn’t have anything interesting. All the more entertaining games are in the West where the basketball just feels like it’s on a different level. Three of the four series going on are tied up although I wanted both the Lakers and Hornets to win their respective Game 4’s.
2008 NBA Playoffs 1st Round
Dallas Mavericks v. New Orleans Hornets
Has anyone ever seen Dallas exhibit any kind of sportsmanship when losing? I certainly haven’t in the last few years and that’s why I’ve always hated the Mavericks and the people on that team. They just give off a very thuggish vibe. Most of the time they resort to something like the crap that happened last night when Jason Kidd committed a dangerous Flagrant 2 foul on Janerro Pargo of the Hornets. It was right for him to get ejected, something like that could’ve caused serious injury since Pargo got flipped and was heading down head first.
US Open 2007 is Entertaining
More people ought to follow tennis. This year’s US Open has been pretty enjoyable so far. Federer continues his flawless and completely dominant play as usual. That guy is so fun to watch. I don’t know how anyone can challenge him. Tonight’s match of Federer v. Roddick is definitely an exciting match. Their head to head record is 13-1 (Federer) but you never know with these things. Hopefully Roddick puts up a good fight and we have a competitive match.
Federer Wins His Fifth Wimbledon Title in a Row
Wow, this was one heck of a championship match - talk about top notch tennis. Federer is just on a whole other level compared to the rest of men’s tennis. I certainly think he’s the best player ever. I mean, the guy is only 25 and he has 11 majors. Roger Federer has won 11 of the past 17 Grand Slam titles. If he wins the U.S. Open in September, he’ll have 12 already! I’m pretty sure he’s going to break Sampras’ 14. Roger’s won 5 straight Wimbledon, 3 straight US Open, and 2 straight Australian Open! Even Pete Sampras wasn’t as dominant as Federer.
NBA Playoffs 2007 Update
Man, the Spurs v. Suns series is brutal! And Nash seems to be taking the brunt of it. There is definitely a lot of animosity between these two teams. For me, this series has cast a very dark shadow on the Spurs. Bowen is just despicable. What Horry did at the end of Game 4 was completely unnecessary! Now I’m rooting for the Suns to go all the way. I especially want them to win the next game. That would be the sweetest revenge but it’s going to be very difficult with both Stoudemire and Diaw out (unfair suspensions, but rules are rules). I was rooting for Golden State but yesterday’s loss was so disappointing.
Hooray for Golden State
I didn’t want to say too much about this because I didn’t want to jinx anything but.. HAHAHAHA Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitski, you suck! GS all the way! This was the best series and most fun to watch so far. Man, those 3-pointers are like daggers! Who wants to watch the Eastern conference play slow basketball and miss shots? BORING. Like the East even has a chance at the championship. Tell me which team in the East can keep up with 120 point games or 30 point quarters.
Okay, this post is a little incoherent but I just wanted to chime in on how the Warriors rule for beating Dallas. Congrats to Golden State and Nellie.
