Two of the biggest FedFans I know of are the S. African clown, a former FedFan, now a Djokergirl; and that other guy that runs the Perfect Federer site. What the hell is wrong with these tools. This sort of gossipy cheerleader garbage is such a sad state of affairs. This is the blind fervor/rage …

Why Men’s Tennis is No Longer Worth a Shit
What's it like to be a tennis fan today? If you follow this site, you benefit from some of that delicious draw analysis and match prediction based-off some insight on form, history, etc. Of course, the real beauty of this site revolves around the more original pieces that add perspective to the puppet show before …
What 2018 Cincinnati Means
As I said in my post-Cincy Final post, the win in Cincy is huge for Novak on several fronts. I guess the two that stand-out are: A) this is everyone's favorite: that he has completed the Masters set, thus garnering him all kinds of praise and greatness; and B) that he really has confirmed his …
The Fangirls and Boys Meet the Grinch
On court: Zverev comes back from 2 sets to 1, winning the decider fifth in a TB. In Brisbane. Among the rowdy Aussies. Big five-set win for the (still) young German. Off court: There is nothing like the sucking sounds the low-oxygen fangirls and fanboys emit while wrestling their resentment in the wake of a …
Here I Go Again: My Tennis Crap Detector
Fuck the AO and the ATP. Beyond the injury issues that plague the sport, about which many are concerned; the money -- did you hear what Djokovic said at the players-only meeting? and other problems this tour -- and society in general -- deals with, the Australian Open, as we begin voyage on this new …
Nadalism/FedFan and the WTF
This post started as a return to the contemplation and reconciliation of Nadalism. At the end here, on the eve of WTF, I'm confounded by this contradiction involving Nadal. But the appearance of the Fedfan on my blog broadens this post since Nadalism is this institutionalized bias toward the Spanish great and we all know …
PSA for the Clown Show
I could've made this a comment in my last post. But I wanted to string this out. And, sorry: blame the fanboy/girl contingent for this post, which bumps my Nadalism post to tomorrow. To the guy coming at me for my previous post about the WTF and the rest of you just like him or …
Essay on Social Media (Kinda)
Is that title effective SEO? I somewhat come-clean with my parenthetical disclosure. Yeah, I have a sentence or two about potential ills of said industry/tools, but I take aim here, again, at some of the participants/tools who use these global conversational mechanisms. And good Thursday to you! A lot on tap today/night in Los Cabos …
Timeout: Let’s Burn Some Bullshit
Because we're on the web (can't deny my blog is on the internet, unfortunately), we get more or less tossed-in to this bath-house of points-of-view, some of which fail on several levels. However, the positives of the internet, I'm afraid, outweigh the negatives, which, granted, is a vague generalization, but you and I know I'm …
Federer Routines Cilic for Eighth Wimbledon Title
You probably watched the final, at least heard about what happened or didn't happen. We could blame the blister, I guess. Quite unfortunate for the aspiring ATP threat with one major and one Masters. Cilic looked solid through the first four games, had the BP, missed, was broken in the next game, lost the first …
