I think for most of my readers, over the years, you know me. So you know my tone, most often my intent, sense of humor or lack there of. I call it like I see it; I'm probably too critical, which I addressed recently in my underdeveloped reflection of Kobe's death (not his life, oddly …
Mcshow Crap Detector
Out of the clouds I dropped my China is Full of Shit post. So controversial is this Mcshow! Crazy even. Insensitive, immoral . . . stick to tennis, you asshole! Fuck off. When you're right you're right. The irony of a SoCal blogger being in the wrong when a country like China is absolutely destroying …

Quarantine 3/23
It's my mom's fucking birthday today. She passed in 1999. To think she's missing all of this! I love you, mom. Sure, I'm a little obsessed with this virus and I think we should all be so fucking consumed. As we know, hearing from virologists, epidemiologists and the like, this kind of novel coronavirus has …
Fellow Isolationists!
I really appreciate you! That's one of the many silver-linings to an event like this (I think we agree there is always some sort of "silver-lining" in down-times, tragedies, losses, etc. -- though I still find difficulty discerning the blessing-in-disguise of the loss of my mother: I'll keep looking-in on that one.). During such times …
Chinaahahahaaahhh, Shit!
Obviously, I'm out. I was out before the shit really started to hit the fan during this latest China-is-still-ruining-the-world-fuck-fest. This virus, as I said in a post or two ago "has everyone disturbed, confused, not-giving-a-shit, panicking, and getting ill and dying. Just horrific stuff." I said that on February 18. That's like me saying Medvedev …
On Medvedev and Clay
And on the BH, by extension -- so you know where this is going. Medvedev and Thiem both lost in the last day or so. I am putting Medvedev's loss on him, Thiem's on that awful surface. Ha ha. How far does honesty really get you? I have talked for eons on my criticism of …
Commentary En Route
I do want to still expound on Federer down under and the loss of Kobe (just a short piece I'll connect to tennis, as if that's even necessary), as well as the Rotterdam loss from Medvedev (who has NextGen star Sinner next in Marseille), but I'm both working and daily dumbfounded by so much madness …
Djokovic Wins 8th Aussie Open
We're late on our Aussie final commentary, but there's almost not much to say (which sounds ridiculous coming from me since I always have plenty to say). Still, Novak outlasted the up-and-comer who'd probably shot his load getting to the final. Remember, in this era of THE THREE GREATEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY, you'll have …
2020 AO Final: Djokovic vs. Thiem
I don't have enough bloody time to get into this right now, but what exactly is there to get into? We are going to hopefully see a great match, with a couple of turning-points, shifts in momentum, etc. Time to watch tennis. A straight-set clinic from the Serb would be a let down. To be …
