Federer Wins 2008 US Open, 13th Grand Slam
Federer beat Andy Murray in the final in straight sets (6-2, 7-5, 6-2) to win his 13th grand slam and 5th straight US Open! Finally, he grabbed the last grand slam of the year. I thought Murray was really going to give him a fight, considering how well he played against Nadal. Congrats, Roger!

OMG, ARE YOU PEOPLE WATCHING THIS?
This Wimbledon final is unbelievable. We’re going to a 5th set. Wow. Just WOW!
UPDATE: Well, I’m disappointed Federer lost, but give Nadal credit - he played a great match. Both played unbelievably well. That was probably one of the best matches I’ve ever watched (if not THE best). That was seriously incredible tennis. These guys are untouchable.
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.
Lakers Lose Game 4
Wow, seriously way to go Lakers, blowing a 24-point lead. Boston defense pretty much shut down the Lakers and Kobe in the second half.
2008 French Open Men’s Final, Federer v. Nadal
Wow, I did not expect Federer to be so thoroughly dismantled. Although I knew Federer had to play an excellent match to win, I honestly believed he had a chance. Nadal is just too damn good on clay.
Happy New Year 2008
Well it’s my first post of the new year and I’d love to impart wisdom or some useful insight into life but I don’t really have much to share. So let me just say I hope this new year brings good things to everyone. Idleness is the holiday of fools! That’s my motto and it’s from a fortune cookie I got several years ago. I should’ve just taken credit for the quote
