    Seniors lounge (over 50) come on in.

    Who’s got that kinda cash? That’s a small home in San Diego or large one with at least an acre in 30 other States.

    Seniors lounge (over 50) come on in.

    200+ jumps is a small number in comparison to my buddies. They all have over 2,000, but they came in and retired as the AFSC, I cross trained. I lean towards divers, there is a micro-brand from Venice that makes some beautiful watches. Then Omega and of course Rolex…I haven’t settled on...

    Seniors lounge (over 50) come on in.

    I do, but that’s more of a personal accomplishment. I also read plenty of books and do my own writing. I pursue plenty of my own interests. I’m lucky enough to travel when and where I want to go. Lately my newest hobby is horology.

    My knees have survived getting my Jump wings in the service and 200+ jumps.

    Diff’Strokes That has not happened to me. Oddly enough I used to lose track of the days all the time while I was working. I always knew the date thought.

    Seniors lounge (over 50) come on in.

    Been retired for eight years now. I stay busy. Back to running 4+ miles a day, weight lifting 4 times a week, tennis at least 3 times, and pickleball 2 or 3 times. I stay busy, but it’s busy doing what I want to do.

    NCAA college football 24-25

    My bad. Still they struggled against Bowling Green.

    NCAA college football 24-25

    Today, I agree with the top three rankings. Alabama was pretty poor for most of that game against USF. Oklahoma struggled against U of Houston Penn struggled against Bowling Green…the shouldn’t be in the top 10 Ole Miss, Tenn & Mizzo all looks strong.

    Is Fiatoe's game a Crime against Tennis?

    News flash, the JTCC place didn’t teach him his strokes. Look at them, they are very self-taught. He was ignored there, he was the janitor’s kid playing around with a racquet and ball. At least that’s what they mostly thought of him. Until the one coach gave him some pointers. He started...

    Is Tommy Paul the only likable US top male player?

    Francis, despite some of his on court behavior and some of the bone head comments, he is very likable. Always laughing, and joking. Also agree 100% with Eubanks, a class act.

    Nike 2024 General Thread

    Ralph Lauren spent a lot of money to Sponsor and outfit the ball people and umpires at the Open…same with Wimbledon. As why anyone would want to spend thousands of dollars to dress like an umpire or ball person?…I don’t know. I do know that the umpire jackets used to get top dollar on that...

    2024 US Open Outfits

    I own nothing from that brand. I was just making an observation about the material and how it clings when wet. They could do better with wicking and evaporating, other brands don’t cling in the same conditions.

    2024 US Open Outfits

    On seriously needs to change their material. All of their apparel clings like a plastic bag when you perspire. It needs to wick away and evaporate better.

    Nike 2024 General Thread

    Haha. Yeah, could be. The U.S. Open is a cash cow though. I would watch in amazement at families walking out of the Polo shop with multiple bags of Ralph Lauren clothing. Dropping thousands at a time, and it was a steady stream of families. The Nike store at the Open was by far the busiest...

    Nike 2024 General Thread

    U.S. Open exclusives. There used to be a Nike store on the grounds at the Open that sold the Nike Open Exclusives as well as the entire tennis line, but it’s been gone for almost a decade now. My guess is they are available at the Nike store or the Nike U.S. Open pop up store in NYC.

    Electronic Line calls and Dumpire Allensworthless

    Actually the Draper call was worse. I agree that the Fritz call was easy, being that making this call from the chair on the baseline is routine. He missed it, choked on it, whatever. I’m leaning to towards he lost focus, because of the electronic line calling, and missed the call. An...

    Electronic Line calls and Dumpire Allensworthless

    He’s neither of those things. He had a bad two weeks, nothing more nothing less. It may very well cost him his ATP position.

    Should Jannik Sinner and his team file a defamation lawsuit against Nick Kyrgios?

    A lawsuit for having an opinion about a public figure? Is this really what we’ve become? Is it too much to ask to grow a thicker skin?

    Allensworth must be fired

    Yes, as long as it’s in the same stroke; however, clearly his frame hit the ball into the court and it bounced up into his strings and off at an awkward trajectory.

    Allensworth must be fired

    I haven’t seen a video that had him in it during play to see if he was tracking the ball or not. I’m guessing he didn’t. The temptation to relax with the technology is great. I’m not making excuses for them, they still have a job to do, and obviously he failed here.
