Originally posted by Angry Midget Yo Originally posted by lightning80 Has anyone played tennis on grass before? I'd probably use my football cleats to get traction... Never heard of doing that but I guess it's possible since the ball would still bounce but can you really find any tennis courts on grass?

You've never heard or watched Wimbleton?

Yeah, that's grass. That's why you see the green ground with brown dirt from the player running in the same spots all week wearing out the grass. By the way, the French Open is on clay.

Originally posted by Geez Pretty excited for the new College Football playoff.  The yearly BCS conversation was definitely getting old.  The Bowl system is so corrupt, I am sure there will be a lot of hiccups and controversy on the way, but I think the playoff system is the way to go.

Now people are gonna complain about the last playoff spot.

There is one already:

I cannot believe nadal just lost in the second round

It was a really good match. It is always fun to see the underdog pull one out.  That clears the path for Murray, but he does still have to beat Tsonga.

Ya thats a good point that it will allow murray a more legit chance in a rapha-less semi finals. Murray's running out of time anyway-he needs to win a slam quick

^Sort of. I've watched a little bit of the swimming trials.

Originally posted by Geez Usain Bolt lost in the Jamaica trials... should set up for a good match in the Olympics.  He was one of the stars in Beijing, even with his showboating.

^yeah the trials are boring, everyone saves there best for the gold

Originally posted by Von44 Nice to see that there's a faster swimmer than Phelps for a change. But then again, it's just trials and all they want is to make the team. I'd love to see what Ryan Lochte can do on the world stage tho.

tiger FINALYL won something...it is good to see him like he used to be :)

Either way, it will be exciting to watch at the Olympics, which is all NBC is hoping for:  Drama between two Yanks where either way the result is the Star Spangled Banner being played.

j_lucky...that would have made the "Not Top 10 Plays"...

You're right! I can totally hear the circus music playing as i replay that in my head :))

Originally posted by Von44 Kinda reminds me of Jose Canseco where he tried to make the catch and ended up bouncing off his head and over the fence for a homer. Wished there was a vid of that play jlucky!

You're right, too! I didn't even make it back to our dugout before someone made a Canseco reference :))

Looking forward to having a day off to watch the men's quarters for wimbledon tomorrow

Have not and likely will not ever watch a single second of competitive eating

Competitive eating is gross! Unless it was just a competition of supermodels eatin corndogs, count me out :P. Lol, sorry. Couldn't resist.
Yesterday, I played a local golf course that I hadn't been to before. Most of the courses I have previously visited are on open terrain, mostly surrounded by wheat fields; so if your monster slice rears its ugly head, you generally don't find your ball, but there's no windows to break. This course had been developed all around it.. I lost 10 balls playing 12 holes, and along the way I hit 3 houses, and almost a Cadillac.

I heard the Hot Dog Champion tied his old record of 64 hot dogs in 10 mins!!! That's disgusting!! Even the female champ threw back 41! Just thinking about it makes me want to barf. I think the most i've ever eaten was like 3.

@j_lucky - that round sounds a lot like when I first started except I used to lose nearly 2 dozen balls! Still looking for my first caddy tho! lol

Did any of you guys ever try the 9-9-9?

Congratulations to Federer. I'm hoping he wins!

Won our coed softball game this week... Though I must say I didn't expect to. Two of our girls were gone... and we were only able to find a sub for 1, so we could only play 9. We played quite well though, and play the worst team in the league next week.. should be a good one lol.

^Both Federer and Nadal are boss at tennis.

After watching andy murray's runner up speech i really wish in retrospect that he would have won-ive seen the poor guy cry after all of his four finals losses but i think every tennis fan felt this one for him
