And then I jumped over the net and smacked him

-That didn’t take long. I was wondering how long before a sports writer would point out Roger Federer’s French Open victory (and 14th Grand Slam title) was over Robin Soderling and NOT Rafael Nadal. Read it this morning in a paper. Gee, and this is supposed to diminish the victory how exactly? How’s it Roger’s fault that Nadal was injured and lost in, what, the third round?

I hear this in soccer all the time. That a winning team got “lucky” because some other “better” team got eliminated. Which begs the question: Who fucking cares? It’s retarded logic. Hey, Montreal Canadiens fans! You got lucky because the Edmonton Oilers were eliminated in 1986! Heaven knows we can open a can of beans with this.

Roger Federer won the damn thing fair and square and there shouldn’t be any doubts about it either.

As for the best player all time bit, Federer is probably the best ever in the Open era but let’s not forget Rod Laver was barred for five years for turning pro. He would most surely have added to his 11 Grand slams title.

-Lane Kiffin: Six violations. Ugh.

-Brett Favre: Just plain ugh. And a preemptive ugh to Mats Sundin or any other indecisive athlete.

-Lakers/Magic: Lacks sparkle for some reason. If Orlando wins three straight maybe I’ll change my mind. Best line I’ve heard? From Tony Reali host of ATH describing Steve van Gundy as the Ron Jeremy look-alike with the Sam Kinnison voice.

-Pens/Wings: It’s Game 7. Break out all the cliches. Pens goalie Fleury stopped a flurry of Wings in Game 6. I know…I said…Still only one goal for Crosby. At least his team mates finally picked up some of the slack to force a game 7.

With the way the officiating has going, I just hope we don’t get another ‘toe in the crease’ incident. Lindy Ruff still can’t believe it…I’m sure.

-Kaka leaves Milan for Madrid and it only cost, shit, $90 million dollars? Milan loses not only one of the best players in the world, but a classy one as well. It’s a huge void but at least they still have Ronaldinho. Above all, Milan needs to rebuild its aging defense and get themselves a keeper.
