Please DON"T DARE DO SUCH A THING ANYONE !!!!
This is NOT even funny at all.

LMAO.

Rusty, if you ever dare do such a thing, i might leave the forum :D
OK, I'll do it. I know good reverse psychology when I see it.

Please, anyone have clear pictures of Sureshs's mug from different angles (including sideways)? I already have his front shot which I've used in gems as the one below (No Country for 3.5's), but I need different angles.

Nightmares on the way tonight for me with a slightly heavy and shadowy Anton Chigureshs standing at the foot of the bed and asking me if I mixed that lucky bagel in with the rest of my bagels.:eek:

You heard it first from Ivan. Roger Federer is a human being with observable emotions. This is not tolerable by those of us who subscribe the a pre-WWII vision of manhood and a conviction that a certain range of the emotional spectrum is purely feminine and to be avoided at all costs. Although, comfortingly there is this.

Well, firstly, that's tears of joy.
Secondly, that was 2014, where Rafa's back problems started his decline.
His victory over Novak was highly dramatic, since he was down in that fifth set.
He must have known it was going to be his last victory at RG.

I couldn't agree more. These are legitimate manly tears. I think I read unconfirmed reports that in a couple of these shots he actually had a compound fracture in his pelvis.

The AO one is not "tears of joy". So yeah. Pot-Kettle-Black. At least Roger doesn't get booed by an entire crowd for taking a phony MTO in the middle of major a major final.

You have a point.

Roger would rather simply throw the match instead.

No questions asked. :rolleyes:

People, i wouldn't want to spoil a party, but you do realise that fibrocartilage doesn't regenerate, do you ?

5 more months won't do a thing for Roger's knee.

He will have to play with a sore/swollen knee for the remaining part of his career.

He might even never comeback at all !

It depends on the person. Some people do regenerate it and some don't. I'd think most athletes do, otherwise they wouldn't last that long.

Has anyone melded bitter curmudgeonry and misanthropy into such an utterly charming persona as Sammy C?
Old Sammy was a century or so ahead of his time in humorously documenting the original Ugly Americans in "The Innocents Abroad" but its sequel, "A Tramp Abroad" was even more dead on as a precursor to my own backpacking in Europe experience. To paraphrase him, I never spent a colder winter than a summer in foggy London Town.:cool:
