  • NBC Coverage of French Open 2011

    As is tradition every year I and hordes of tennis fans out there complain like crazy about NBC’s horrible coverage of the Men’s semifinal matches at the French Open. There now appears to be an improvement this year. NBC is allowing the Tennis Channel to carry the first semifinal (Nadal vs Murray) live, in its…

  • NBC Coverage of French Open 2009 Men’s Semifinals SUCKS ONCE AGAIN

    See my rant last year about NBC’s POOR coverage of the French Open semi-finals here. Well NBC sucked it up once again this year.

  • 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.

  • NBC’s Coverage of 2008 French Open Men’s Semifinal Was Awful

    NBC, you suck. Your coverage of this year’s French Open Men’s Semifinal matches was AWFUL. You grab the rights to broadcast but you do an absolutely horrible job, making it thoroughly un-enjoyable. Instead of airing at 7 AM to cover Nadal v. Djokovic live, NBC obviously aired their stupid morning show. They started airing the…
