As others have mentioned, he wouldn’t have asked a man and EVERYBODY who follows tennis knows that neither Serena nor Venus dance on each other’s graves after they’ve beaten the other. The question could have been reworded, “Hey Serena, you just beat your sister at what is probably her last crack at a serious go in a…

As a woman, trust me, there is no responses you can give to this question that will make men stop asking it. I’ve been told to smile while choosing paint samples at a hardware store. I’ve started snapping “my mother just died”. I am fucking faking a family members death to get these entitled arseholes to leave me…

And remember this is the same media machine that says Serena isn’t as advertiser friendly as the nice smiley blond woman who over the last two years hasn’t even been in the same stratosphere as Ms. Williams.

Interesting how she’s automatically a role model because she happens to be a woman who plays sports, but men are NOT AT ALL held up to this standard. In fact, it’s thought of as completely normal that male sports stars are womanizing party hounds, but as soon as a woman dares not be super cheery? TERRIBLE ROLE MODEL!

“It’s 11:30. To be perfectly honest with you, I don’t want to be here. I just want to be in bed right now and I have to wake up early to practice and I don’t want to answer any of these questions. And you keep asking me the same questions. It’s not really ... you’re not making it super enjoyable.”

Why is her blunt honesty more “rude” than a “shitty and generic” answer? She did answer the question, anyway. He asked, she answered. Therefore, she’s meeting any expectation that she answer media questions. It was a shitty, stupid question, tho. So why should she act like it wasn’t?

The thing is guys are never asked that question, especially sports guys. I literally cannot think of a time a guy was asked why he wasn’t smiling.

He wouldn’t ask a man the same question. That’s the problem.

Also I love the sincere enthusiasm those folks bring. Let me watch Neil DeGrasse Tyson all day, grinning like a kid with candy talking about the universe, and Colbert ecstatic with him. Leno and Letterman can keep George Clooney talking about politics or some other bullshit; why do I want to watch famous people offer…

Does anyone remember the first episode of the Colbert Report? He stammered all the way through it. He looked like he was wishing for a trap door to appear beneath the desk.

I think in a way they both did. Sappy, but I love the Williams sisters.

Second all-time record, Margaret Court has 24 in the open era

Just for clarity for people who don’t follow tennis: What Serena is trying to do is win the four major championships (Australian, French, Wimbledon and US Opens) in a calendar year. The “Serena slam” title is because she’s won all four in a row but over two calendar years. She’s won all the major titles many times…

You think bookies get annoyed when they play each other like that?

I was so conflicted during this match. Serena has my utmost respect and I want her to get to 22 majors. Venus has my sympathy because she’s been struggling with a rare and strange chronic illness.

They are both amazing.

“Never loan anybody your pickup truck.” is a lesson that needs to be burned into the brains of anyone who buys a pickup. Just by it’s nature, anybody who wants to use your truck is not asking for it because they need to transport a cardboard box filled with lace dollies. They’re going to beat that thing like a rented…

Draw me like one of your French girls.
