I would not have blamed her if this had happened during the magnificently brief Pavel Bure Era of Florida Panthers hockey, but it wasn’t. There’s no excuse for seeing multiple games of a squad headlined by Ray Whitney and Rob Niedermayer.

The best part (other than the shot itself) is Haase hanging his head in defeat as soon as the ball loops over the net.

Yes, Grigor is nü-Gasquet. That’s spot-on.

Handsome Grigor is, was, and always will be equal parts tantalizing and confounding to me. The insane hotshots and the graceful, Federer-esque court coverage somehow coexist with his astounding mental lapses and missed opportunities.

Ooh, the original fall of Moria/Khazad-dum, perhaps? Thorin in exile after the sack of Erebor? The Battle of Unnumbered Tears?

Just here to post “Preview” by Built to Spill, which is the best of all these.

At the top of the sport, sure. All of the Big 4 have exemplary qualities – although the tribal nature of tennis fandom means they all have legions of haters, too.

Not to drag out this old chestnut again, but...

An essential question, here: do the brutal isolation and repetitive grind of tennis simply *attract* fractured headcases like Fognini, or does the sport actively *create* them by its nature? Because it sure seems like the tour currently has a bunch of flighty, sometimes villainous weirdos in it.

“It 2, Brute?”

We already saw Rafa weather Grigor Dimitrov’s best this season – and it made for an insane Australian Open semifinal. A much slept on match-of-the-year candidate, I feel, if only because it got immediately eclipsed by the Fedal final.

Now those feminazis are coming for our murderously Darwinian schoolboy horror stories? WHERE DOES IT END?

If we just never refresh this page, maybe we can live here… forever? In this alternate reality? Free from the shackles of Kinja?

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!
