Let’s review:

Well past his prime. Minority Report is okay, but hot garbage if intended to be any version of P.K. Dick. Lincoln is junk. Spielberg was last genuinely good, imho, when he made E.T.

Mentioned explicitly by Lund in Para 33 of the article. Funny that.

Sweet Jesus, did only like one other person in this thread realize that every one of those quotes was a real world take on Kaepernick, with Cutler’s name subbed in?

One can dream.

Vandeweghe is 25, she has time. Tennis careers last well into the 30s these days, Pannetta won the U.S. Open at 32, over Vinci, who was older. Schiavone at the French? 30 years old. Sam Stosur at the U.S. Open? Li Na, Clijsters... Kerber is 29, won two majors last year, and was number 1 in the world until today. It’s…

Interesting- personality-wise, Querrey is actually pretty fiery and gritty, and always has been— recall his angry shouting at Odesnik during a match while Odesnik was playing pre-PED ban, Querrey was personally pissed off and took it out on the court. Also he smoked Nadal in straights for the title in Acapulco last…

He’s comparing how he felt at the time he dumped her with his self-conception at the time of writing the letter. Not contradictory

excellent trolling

Yes

Dude needs to stop watching football and finish book 7 of Game of Thrones.

Yes, exhibit 1: Serena Williams. Straight outta the yacht club.

It is his head, but not because he has some innate timidity or attitudinal issues, imo— I think it’s more that he has a naturally defensive style, in part because he spent so much time training on clay as a young player, and clay rewards defense; and of course, his speed and touch lend themselves to a…

Coric was in that convo until his knee surgery at the end of last year. Given that he’s closing fast on his prior ranking (he reached #33 in 2016), he’s doing pretty well in 2017.

I don’t know if you’ve seen Rafa play with Marc Lopez, but they basically play I-formation for entire points sometimes, 1 up 1 back in the middle. It’s very odd.

True. And it’s true, you’d want their strengths in the middle, that’s just classic doubles strategy, even if it’s as much baseline strength as volley strength these days.

Good point, Kyrgios is the stronger returner. But Sock plays ad with Posposil, and in mixed, and since he plays more doubles overall, maybe it’s just more comfortable for him?

Recall that Fed and Mirka met when they were both on the Swiss Olympic tennis team in 2000. (She was also a top-100 player during an injury-shortened career). If “Olympian” equals “no discernible abilities or talents,” then possibly it’s your discernment that’s absent, not the talents.

This thread claims it went out around the passing of hyphy’s peak, and also blames too $hort. But there’s a lot of disagreement on there about when it was and wasn’t in common usage. I’ve been here for a depressingly long time apparently. https://www.reddit.com/r/oakland/comments/3untnr/do_you_call_oakland_the_town/

Nah, it’s been called the Town (although not by me). I’ve been in the bay area since ‘91, lived in SF and Oakland, back and forth. I’ve heard people say it; not these days though.
