We can't win...
I know I have been getting pumped about Fed-Nadal and the buzz it has created in tennis circles. I thought the Wimbledon final held up it’s end of the bargain too. First thing Monday, the local guys are (surprise) killing tennis. Local TV guys, killing tennis. Now this from a Bill Simmons chat on ESPN:
Tennis (Flushing Meadows, NY): Will anyone ever, ever care about me again?! Bill Simmons: Hey, it's tennis! I was just thinking about you on Sunday as I tried to watch the Federer-Nadal match. What happened to you? That sport is on life support; we may have to eliminate men's tennis altogether. What a yawner. The technology has just gotten too good, with those rackets and the imprived conditioning, it's like baseball allowing batters to use HGH and steroids AND corked aluminum bats. Ridiculous. You should not be able to hit a backhand that goes 150 mph and dips at the last second. I am old school when it comes to the technology, but it seems like a lot of people aren’t going to let the sport off the canvas. Ugh... |

Us talk show hosts know nothing about tennis. Its comical to hear them try.
