Novak Djokovic wriggled around like a caterpillar on steroids. With apparent aggression and aggravation stemming from the far-from-tame Flushing Meadows fans that hold Andy Roddick close to their American Dream hearts, the Serbian unleashed tennis talent followed by regrettable words and a bewildered attitude after the intense match:“Andy was saying I have 16 injuries in last match,” Djokovic told the Arthur Ashe crowd. “Obviously I don’t.” That elicited a round of boos that Djokovic acknowledged by saying: “Yeah, right. Like it or not, it’s like that.”Referring to the crowd, he continued: “I know they’re already against me because they think I’m faking everything. That’s not nice, anyhow, to say I have 16 injuries and I’m faking it.”These statements were in response to Roddick’s comments the night before:“You know,” he said, “he’s either quick to call the trainer or he’s the most courageous guy of all time.”Granted, Roddick added fuel to the already blazing fire – but what happened...

Me + the LA Times = ....
I had my appetite ruined on Saturday.
It happened right after I read Melissa Rohlin's piece "Why this woman is a fan of basketball, but not the WNBA." It's hard to tell what's worse about the commentary: a) that the opinion offered was so antiquated and un-evolved; b) that a woman would go out of her way to hate on such accomplished professional women; or c...

Djokovic Offered Over $200K to Throw a Match
Recent reports have Novak Djokovic claiming that he was offered $200,000 to throw his first round match at St. Petersburg last year. He never actually ended up playing in the tournament, but the news fuels ongoing suspicions that tennis is an easy sport to fix (considering it primarily involves individuals who can intentionally lose with no real skepticism) and that fixing occurs...
No, Not Tennis!!!!
When reports came out about NBA games possibly being fixed by referees, most of us were upset but knew that a betting scandal is always a possibility in the major sports. Gamblers and organized crime will obviously do whatever they can to get an edge when it comes to betting on sports, but this is getting ridiculous. Bob Bryan, one of the world's top doubles players, told the...
The Federer "brand," then and now
Believe it or not, it wasn't too long ago that Roger Federer, the world's top-ranked tennis player who this weekend will attempt to win his fourth-straight U.S. Open title, was only making about half the money in sponsorship revenue as did other marquee players. But considering that the now 26 year old Federer may indeed be one of the greatest players in history (given the...

Strangely enough, I had never been to Park City before and I liked it a lot! Definitely...
