Holy Smokes!
Are you kidding me with this? Who would've thought that a month after Roland Garros we would have the treat of seeing a Federer-Nadal rematch in the final of Wimbledon? The same finalists haven't met back to back at the French and Wimbledon since 1952.
All the pieces are in place to make this an epic match. Should Federer win it will be his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title in a row and he will be one closer to tieing Borg's record of five. He will prove that, although Nadal has a winning record over him, he truly is the king of grass.
On the other hand, a Nadal victory would turn the tennis world upside down. It's been thirty years since a Spanish player has won Wimbledon and over twenty years since Borg won the French Open and Wimbledon back to back. Rafa's transition to grass in so short a time and relentless pursuit for #1 is nothing short of unbelievable. A month ago, the talk of the town was that if Federer won the French he may just be the best ever. Now, a month later, Rafa has a chance to take over the top spot.
Ever since Federer showed up on the radar in 2001 by ending Sampras' streak at Wimbledon, I've been a fan of his flawless style of classic tennis...but I can't help but pull for Nadal. Perhaps it's because he's considered the "underdog" (despite owning Roger so far) or perhaps its because it would cement these two champions into true rivalry status. Either way, "Vamos, Rafa!"

Terrible!!!! ABC has decided to show 6 weeks of Lost in October and then put the show on the shelf until February for the remaining 13 shows!!!
What a crock!
Yeah, not sure how I like it yet. Don't the first 6 start mid-to-late October and run thru December? I thought they were only taking off the month of January. Quit your bitchin'
How bout Safin losing to some guy ranked 512th in the world. 6-1, 6-4.
WRONG AGAIN, Mr. Lost!!!! ABC is starting a new show to fill the 13 WEEKS LOST is taking off between the 6th and 7th show. Apparently your boy Abrams needs more $$, so he trick ABC into introducing his new show during the 3 month layoff that the cast apparently needs to shoot the show. Abrams claims that he would love to shoot the show back to back, but that it is impossible to do. I thought he directed over-the-top movies on tight time frames all the time? How is this any different?
Sorry I'm not as up to date on LOST as yourself. When did that press release come out, yesterday? Good to see you're surfing the message boards. I guess I should probably post something, huh?
Quit complaing about lost and man up and come get the strap boy!
Come get the Strap? Hell son, maybe I should ask your baby's mama if I can have the strap! She took it from you a long time ago.
You just better make sure there isn't a dumpster outside your door when you get home from work. If there is, I would run!
That goes for you too Gotama! I might bring the dumpster to the farm and then we will throw down!
