All's quiet on the riverlake front...

I think Nadal and Federer might be the two best tennis players ever. No one has dominated the sport like Federer, and for Nadal to just own him like he does already, at 22 years of age, or whatever he is, is remarkable. Nadal still has a lot to prove, and more majors to win, but we have to mention his name along with the greats already, merely for this ridiculous feat he accomplished this year. I don't see him slowing down at all. The only thing that might get him is that dairy queen swirl he does on his forehand. That has to be stressful on the elbow, but he is such a physical specimen, it probably doesn't hurt him at all.

You've gotta love Federer though, what a class act, always gracious, even in defeat.

If there was ever a time to pay attention to the MLS, this would have to be it. This is probably the slowest sports time of the year, and with a full month until the Olympics, there's nothing but baseball with some golf and tennis sprinkled in. So whether its the Rapids, Red Bulls, Galaxy, Revs, or United, go ahead and jump on your local team's bandwagon, you've got nothing to lose.

yeah, i was gonna make a post about that today bob. Stage 5 was awesome. But you gotta catch the daytime show, because the British announcers are about five times better than old gap tooth McGee that they put on the replay late at night. Team High Road, Bad Ass... I like the commercial too, with the heartfelt music while they're playing all of last year's dopers in reverse
