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 …

Wimbledon QF Preview and A Rant
Quarter Finals 1. Murray (3 set R16) v Querrey (5 set R16) My numerology is fantastic! Everyone who played a three-set R16 match raise your hand. You are going to win your QF match and advance to the SF! Congratulations! This is a conspiracy and we've let this one go a little too far. You …
The War to End All Wars: Djokovic v 2017 Fedal
This is already a crazy year of tennis with 2017 Fedal taking aim at whatever Djokeray had planned for this new year of our Lord. If Nadal wins the French that begins this Sunday, then the shit has officially hit the fan. Really, if anyone other than Murkovic wins the FO, the Kingdom will have …

2017 Barcelona Open: Otra Décima
On a court bearing his name, Rafa cinched his 10th Barcelona title, matching last week's la decima down in Monte Carlo. He beat Dominic Thiem 6-4 6-1 in the final. The trend continues: 2017 Fedal. Although Federer had the spotlight early and for good reason, winning the year's first major and first two Masters, Rafa …
Monte Carlo QF – The Survival of the Serb
Following the Djokollapse of 2016, we discerned even after a win over Murray in the 2017 Doha final that Novak still had much work to do to convince any of us actual tennis detectives that he was out of trouble. The Djokofans rejoiced, sending him on his merry way to Melbourne for his annual AO crown. He …
Miami Final, Fedal and 2017 Federer
That's a lot of Fs, if you know what I mean. We have another Fedal final, this time in a Masters tournament, so the past keeps coming back to haunt the tennis world in a worst-nightmare kind of way (if you fail to see the historic brilliance). First, obviously, we got the AO Final that …
Indian Wells 2017
What a start to the year for the 35 year-old Roger Federer. He had a "dip" in Dubai, but what the hell. Federer's dominance in Indian Wells, out playing his opponents relentlessly, netted him his fifth PNB Paribas Open (to match Djokovic's five IW titles). In the season's biggest and most popular Masters-level tourney, he …
