“World No 20 Nick Kyrgios has admitted to “probably” tanking at eight tournaments during his professional career, stating that on certain days he’d ‘rather be doing something else than play tennis’.”

To be precise, Andy Murray is #1 in the rankings which encompasses the last 12 months of tennis. It’s easy to see that the last 12 months is not indicative of current trends. If you look at the “Race to London” (which only looks at the results from 2017), Rafa is #1 and Roger (who skipped the clay court season) is…

Cher needs to be directly involved in this. CHER EGOT 2018! Let the campaign start now.

I don’t read Deadspin tennis articles anymore - I just ctrl-F for “Kyrgios”. Yep, there it is...every time. Deadspin’s fascination with this player is mystifying - or perhaps Deadspin’s decision to let one writer’s fascination with this player all but overtake its tennis coverage is mystifying.

This cell phone conversation broke the privilege with his lawyer, right? Seems like there would be no expectation of privacy in an airport. Probably still hearsay, though. (DUM DUM - obligatory Law and Order sound playing in my head)

Sparehoeven Krispies? Because no one wants to hold their nose while playing the game in order to enjoy it.

Sure...and the other James Blake can’t play tennis.

Those in their 20s would likely say that I am well into middle age (kids these days!), but my mother still sends me Easter chocolate every year. Imagine my range of emotions when I found the giant bag of Eggs, only to tear open the first one and discover that it was peanut butter covered in yellow...something. …

“multinational Swedish clothing company” gives me pause.  

BTW, it was the description on TiVo (yes, I still have one) and it looks like they updated it so now I don’t have proof. :(

Verizon’s description of last week’s episode was something like “Lena’s mom comes to visit. Marnie does something...” and I was like, wait is her character’s name Lena too? How did I not remember that? Lena=Hannah=Lena.

Thank you for including a link to a version with Left Eye’s part! She’s always cut out of the radio play (and most iTunes versions) of this and Waterfalls.

Thanks - Yes, I think that clears it up. I also expected that to be how you felt based on your other posts (which I checked out before responding). I was just afraid that some troll might intentionally read your note to mean the opposite of what it was supposed to convey, and we all know once that gets started…

This could be read a lot of different ways. Based on your other posts, I think I agree with you?

Totally agree. Even today’s article about Del Potro is 1/3 love letter to this waste.

I also appreciate great writing, but TL;DR because this article is about this guy:

A petulant, entitled [insert: Nick or whomever comes to mind...] should not be lauded. The attention only reinforces the bad behavior. I don’t care about his potential; I’m not interested in “giving him a chance.”

Maybe she could come back to American Horror Story to dig that show out of its grave?

I wish I could give this all the stars.

I feel your pain. My mom called me out of the blue recently to tell me she’s finally come to terms with the fact that I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life. Um...thanks Mom.
