Firm Erections

When that article came out, I argued on this very site that Nadal would never get to 17. Mostly, as you said, because it was obvious even then that his body was beginning to fail. But also because he had to content with a still-viable Federer, a Djokovic on the rise, and an Andy Murray that we still thought might…

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Please don’t put words into my mouth.

Haha! Another good one, Burke. Almost got me again, but we all know the 13 year old girl actually killed two college students.

This is true. I always find myself wondering, “what is Redford bringing to the table?”

Agree to disagree. If it was intentional, I’d say at best it’s witless trolling.

I didn’t think you could top “Sixers beat Warriors,” but a picture of a guy who isn’t Calvin Johnson? In an article about Calvin Johnson?!?

There are 76 comments so far, and not a single one defending this guy.

I also don’t like baby murder. How close minded of me, I know.

That’s the joke? That’s the worst joke I’ve ever heard.

Bill Engvall is funnier than the “undefeated 7-1 Panthers” joke, and at least Engvall doesn’t go on and on and on for a month.

I mean, “LOL” at the people who didn’t get it, and “Double LOL” at the people who emailed you, but just this morning, Redford made two pretty silly errors unrelated to this article.

Words have meaning, and when you write a comment that claims two different things are the same, you’re spreading misinformation, and that does matter.

That’s the nightmare scenario.

Well, now you’re debating a different point. I was never talking about whether he can get to 17, I was talking about the likelihood of winning both Wimbledon and the US Open this year.

Patrick’s just being “wacky!”

Rajon Rondo is an okay example, but in a conversation about players blatantly chasing their own stats, this is the Alpha and Omega.

That’s a fair point, and I’ll concede that Serena’s results aren’t a perfect analogue.

I’m pulling for a Grand Slam from Djokovic, but even with a French win, it’s hardly a lock.

Correct.
