U.S. Open Tennis: Fucking Roddick

Stick a fork in him. He is a head case incapable of closing out a match. He and Blake have superior games but inferior heads. An exhausted Djokovich nearly hopelessly behind cleaned Roddick's clock when it counted. Open will probably self destruct because of Hurricane Ike this weekend. It's too bad but there are no American men (or women) on their way up. Both draws are almost all Eastern European (Nadal is Spanish), and there is zero Americans in the Womens draw other than the Williams Sisters, both of whom are getting long in the tooth.

Thursday NFL: a game so shitty that most of us watched the hopelessly boring McCain. Will the rest of the NFL season be this bad? Maybe the NFL is over leveraged too.

Roddick will never beat Fed, Rafa or Novak - never. He's got the big serve but can't rally and has lost his confidence. He also has no charm left from his younger years - he comes out nervous and surly - and then he loses. You are right - stick a fork in him.
After the Williams sisters leave, I can see a decade or more of no American winners at any of the slams. Pity..
