Finally got to see them a few years back when they played a run of nights in Brixton each one doing an album whole followed by other bits and bobs. As luck would have it I ended up seeing the first two albums on consecutive nights.

The guy is a tennis commentator. If he says ridiculous stuff like Serena could hold her own against Federer or Nadal or anybody of any name value whatsoever, he loses all his credibility to anybody who knows anything about the game.

Nadal regularly served between 125 and 128 during his prime and Gasquet in his day would routinely hit 130+. Sure Nishikori’s tiny 5'10 ass barely cracks 115mph but he’s an outlier.

If you do it with your eyes open, it’s not being taken advantage of, it’s choosing to be generous.

Bless you for your Sci Fi Lullabies love! My all-time favorite is “Metal Mickey”. But there are so many.

Maybe it’s our kooooooooookiness!

I KNEW Donald Trump was a Jalopnik reader!

I mean the nerve of a hall of fame tennis player, who is actually paid to comment on tennis, to share his tennis opinion in an interview about tennis. Jeez, the nerve of this guy.

Really, Pat? McEnroe was owned? He gave Serena, the greatest competitor in any sport, the ultimate compliment calling her the greatest of all time. Than the interviewer, knowing he would get some clicks, asked where she would stand versus male players. What is McEnroe supposed to say. So I’ll ask you, Redford, where…

Serena herself said a few years back that if she played Andy Murray she’d lose 6-0, 6-0.

But we’re trash, you & me

In 98 the Williams sisters lost 1-6 and 2-6 each playing one game to a guy ranked 203. The guy played golf and smoked cigs before the match.

She doesnt even need to be forced, she volunteered her opinion on the subject to David Letterman.

“For me, men’s tennis and women’s tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports...If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it’s true. It’s a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it’s just a different…

How dare a hall of fame tennis player talk about tennis stuff. As a society can we agree to abandon logic while comparing sexes, because equality.

He exaggerated on the 700th bit. But isn’t the rest of it true? Can’t we both acknowledge that she’s unprecedentedly awesome and amazing AND that she’d get crushed by someone like Novak D or Andy Murray? She’d presumably admit as much herself if you forced her to answer. Those guys are taller than her, faster than…

OH MY GOD I LOVE SUEDE TOO, I WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE I’M SO EXCITED.

Look at how this question was setup:

Suede is still the soundtrack of my life sometimes. I’ll be doing dishes and hear “Don’t take your life, ‘cause your bicycle won’t fly” in my head. :)
