it's funny how he goes through all of those paragraphs about his image, but not once mentions his tennis. WHO SHOULD CARE ABOUT WHAT HE WEARS? it just doesnt freakin matter...
If it did not matter why would Nike go that far? It does matter! Don`t kid yourself .

NO. It does NOT matter. It does not having anything to do with tennis. when i go to tennis.com i dont want to read about fashion, i want to read about tennis. I don't care if he comes out wearing a clown outfit. Nike is trying to make a name for themselves (rather, continue that name)...and it has nothing to do with tennis.
this whole thing gets funny when we finish reading your post and start reading your signature...
consistency check?
and the problem is? does my signature say music and life are all about fashion? does it even mention tennis or sports?
how about a comprehension check?
Bodo is desperate that he had to eat his words of Federer being done,so he costantly has to find new ways to burry him.Kinda like veroniquem.
It's quite funny actually.
and Peter Bozo needs to go back to his cave because he is a troll! Can you believe this guy trolls for a living? :shock:

so... who needs a comprehension check?
Bodo looks like a pig, who the hell is he to criticize Roger's clothes? Roger has the body of a model - he can wear anything.
IMO, Roger's "dressing up" this year has been excessive and ill-considered. He and his team ought to understand that this is too much. At the same time, the fact that Bodo has spent so many paragraphs dissing on someone's clothes says more about Bodo that it does about Roger.
It confirms yet again what I have always felt about Bodo. He cares more about the personalities, the sensationalism, the "back story" than about the game itself.
That's why at MTF we call him "Bozo".
An ill-considered joke, I'm unbanned by next wednesday.

i've never liked Bodo, especially when he got a portion of Pete's own biography WRONG! I don't understand how he can complain about how Nike is creating an image of a "tradiationalist" in Roger Federer as a bad thing.
However...Nike did push Andre into a lot of bad decisions with his image early on before they got some pushback in 1995 from AA. And let's face it, the white leather and gold leaf tennis bag is fit for Sharapova, not Fed. The jacket, is different and modern, but the addition of the banker's vest? It's too much, and I think Fed realized this after the first match. That's why it was toned down yesterday.

ah!So you are THAT fedfan!!
Didn't realize that.It was hot on Wednesday.
Ah yes, I WILL be back. :shock:
It's true, Roger looked like a weenie.
I don't recall if Bodo commented on it in its various incarnations but I wonder if he offered such opinions on Agassi's choice of attire through his career.
Agassi went through more "looks" than Madonna did. It was hard not to notice but did it matter then? Does it matter now?
Bottom line-Who cares? Well, there's Bodo....but who else?

You mean, like both Roger and Bodo? Or like both the game and the personalities? In either case, the answer is yes. Certainly, especially in the second case.A person can't like both?
That's 14-time slam winning weenie to you!

It is just that I find it hard to like Bodo. He is good writer, but the material he chooses is not the best IMO.
