Why Men’s Tennis is No Longer Worth a Shit

If you've read this blog for a few years, you recognize that title. I am re-publishing that old article: see link below. https://mcshowblog.com/2018/10/21/why-mens-tennis-is-no-longer-worth-a-shit/ I am doing this for two reasons: The sport beyond the major tournaments is dominated by only a sprinkling of noteworthy form from players mostly forgettable (until proven otherwise), so writing about …

The Rise of Off-season Mcshow

We need to get after some discussion on this dormant blog.  There is a lot to discuss. I think the best way is to start with some commentary about each of the top three kings, legends, dinosaurs, aliens . . . whatever you want to call Fedalovic.

I set the blog to private yesterday thinking that my followers would still, seemingly naturally, have access. That doesn't appear to …
