Sup - Question:

If JRK = Isner then what pros are the other posters?

JRS = ?
Xis=?
TFM=?
PPL=?
Schmad = Safin????
PP = ?

....... so on and so forth......

 

[TheJRK]

Splat!!!!

Don't know if I can condone the waste of a good tennis ball for that purpose..... LOL

BTW- Had a 6-2, 6-2 win in 7.5 combo last night. Don't get it. last year, we were getting killed in Combo, but this year, I've gotten two teams that would have barely qualified for 7.0 combo - WTF!?!?!?!?

Congrats! At least you got to play... all but one of my matches were a forfeit. The one time I played I teamed up with this random old dude that was just hanging out at the club.

I doubt I could target someone's potato salad, unless it was in a bowl, and that bowl was the size of a satellite dish. :|

Here are my guesses as to what Sup will say...

JRS = Almagro
Xis = Santoro
TFM = Feliciano Lopez
PPL = Monfils
Shcmad = Odesnik or Yen Hsun Lu
PP = Berrer
Sup = by default, Nando
Sappy = some random couch potato

 

[ShcMad]

Is shcmad on suicide watch?

I'm sure he is.

TFM = Feliciano Lopez
PPL = Monfils
Shcmad = Odesnik or Yen Hsun Lu

Sappy = some random couch potato

Al-Gordo? That's actually a pretty good comparison for my game.

I was thinking Xis = Santoro too.

As soon as I order the ETcmo Bo shoes some guy on espn writes this article

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/090828

Thats a little wierd I think. Basically Bo was an overrated video game athelete because he was basically god.

 

[hollywood9826]

The guy had a whole chat talking about sports video games. He even mentioned Baseball stars. And of course he ends the chat like this.

"my time is up. Thanks for stopping by, and remember: if you only have one play and the fate of the Earth is in the balance, Tecmo Bo is still your go-to guy."


I think Im gonna buy the white pair of Tecmo Bo Shoes. once I get the black ones and make sure the fit is good.

TFM = murry (variety)
PPL = ferrer (energizer bunny)
Shcmad = davydenko (flat clean strokes)
Sup = gasquet (stripper and rec drugs)
Sappy = darth fed (rog)
magma = nishikori (yellow dude)
auz = simon (all courter / wheels)
dats = soderling (white dude)

Hollywood = Isner (kicker)
topaz = petrova (2hbh, net skills)

[datsveryinterestin]

yah good article HW.. i forgot about how badazz Tom Chambers wuz! and i also feel better for losing a Redskins/Vikings game on Playstation. i played all the time, and thought this guy was just picking them cuz he was from minnesota. didn't realize randy moss was unstoppable. (sniff)

anybody hitting today? kenmore? 6pm? cMON!?!?!

 

[hollywood9826]

I remeber bulls vs Blazers. You could shoot the ball about 2 feet past halfcourt on the bottom of the screen and make it everytime.

Those games back in the day had glitches like mad, but for some reason they were awesome.

The article talks alot about Hockey Games and even mention s how the more high tech they got the worst they became. Blades of steel was awesome

The old NHL games were awesome, it was all about checking and scoring.

[Xisbum]

JRS = Jo-Willie, crazy athleticism
Xis = Jimbo C, general cussedness, plus he never quit
TFM = Gasquet, smooth all-court game
PPL = Juan Carlos Ferrero, AKA the Mosquito
Shcmad = DelPo, stunning forehands (you owe me a dinner)
PP = Taylor Dent, for bringing the toonder down from the mountain
Sup = RF, AKA da man, numero uno, A#1
Sappy = Ferrer, hard working stiff
magma = Giles Simon, strikes from anywhere
auzzie = Hewitt, who else?
dats = Monfils, plays to his own beat
jrk = Soderling, plays like a SOB, when interested
F1 = don't know him
Hollywood = Sammie Querry, big weapons from the big man with a smile
topaz = Maria S. and Steffi, all hit forehand beasts
skunk = Serena, crazy speed and ferocious shots
alice = Melanie Oudin, scrappy and perky
MrHan = Rafa, the best leftie in the neighborhood
JJJosh = Roddick, power from all sides and from the top, too
Mrs.JJJosh = Dimentieva, every shot but the serve

I would join you, but I'm playing in Reston tonight and have to get in a nap before that.

 

[hollywood9826]

Also Tim Hardaway did the hop step move. They called it the UTEP 2-Step. you hit it around the elbows at the frrethrow line and the rest of players would go slow mo while Tim speed up did a little hop and made the easy lay in.

Actually all the signatiure moves were beastly in that game, but the Chambers double pump from the 3pt line was crazy.

 

[datsveryinterestin]

i did the monfils' splits ONCE in reston... still haven't recovered. woo

 

[Topaz]

My god people...didn't we do this once? First I was compared to someone more than twice my size, now Petrova? WTF? People don't actually go screaming and running away from me when they look at me you know.

Thanks for the throwing me a bone there Xisbum. Especially appreciate the Steffi, plus I have the nose for it.

Call it a bone if you wish, but it was meant as an accurate assessment of what I've seen on the court.

This is all in fun, you know. At least I take it that way.

 

[ShcMad]

lol Gandalf, you're being too nice with my comparison (now I automatically have to buy you dinner)...

JRS, I didn't mean that his physique resembled yours, but rather the style of play. I really like his style of play, but the guy is such a nutbag that it's hard to cheer for him. But I would certainly love to have Almagro's mean kick serve.

 

[hollywood9826]

You do know for the ball to kick you actually have hit with spin right?

 

[ShcMad]

kekeke. I didn't know that.

Obviously she got pizzed at you because shes not 5'10" and has little woman syndrome similar to kiefer sutherland (Topaz I think is actually taller than Kiefer). Petrova BTW is not somebody I would look at say and pull one of these

FYI - Tuesday morning Obama will be at one of our favorite tennis spots, WHS, for the first day of school. I bet he reads this board and just wants to see where we play.

 

[hollywood9826]

If he plays tennis like he throws a baseball. Then he has some work to do.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRGK3QfcEqw

its so bad they dont even show you the ball after it leaves his hand. But I guess MrHan could teach him the lefty kick serve. Actually MrHan you should look into that, you could become the Tennis Czar and get paid an obscene amount of money.

You can thank me later.

I think he has hoop skillz though....

 

[hollywood9826]

he is a decent BBall player. From ive seen he a bit awkward running, and his jumper form isnt the best. And of course the news wont show him miss so its hard to say.

But of course I would dominate Obama in basketball

President Obama to Speak Directly to Students in National Address on Educational Success

WASHINGTON, D.C. - As children across America go back to school, President Obama will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of taking responsibility for their success in school on Tuesday, September 8th at 12:00 PM EDT at Wakefield High School in Arlington. The speech will be broadcast live on www.WhiteHouse.gov ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/ )and C-SPAN.

Although we have received many inquiries, the speech is not open to the public. However, it will be broadcast live on C-SPAN, and then re-broadcast on Arlington Educational TV (AETV), Comcast Channel 70. The speech also will be broadcast live on the White House Web site www.whitehouse.gov ( http://www.whitehouse.gov/ )at noon.

Additional information - including a letter previously sent to principals on August 26 from U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan - and a menu of suggested classroom activities - is available on the U.S. Department of Education Web site at this address: http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/academic/bts.html.

presidents often come to bethesda medical hospital for prostate check ups. however the press doesn't like to cover it as much since it's just another dood with 2 fingers up his arse

 

[TheJRK]

Oh great, the secret service will probably shut down my whole damn neighborhood.

I knew a guy who went to Harvard. He's seen Obama play pickup bball games. He told me Obama kept crying foul and was kinda soft.

Xisbum,

Thanks for spotting us on lunch. Today was an odd day, beautiful weather, nice folks, okay tennis. It was still fun. I'm bothered by my inability to play 3.5 tennis anymore. I can't wait to play in a league now.

CindySphinx,

Awesome that we met. You seem like such a nice person. I will definitely take the time to put together my top 10 things I learned from your posts. Like #10, never give out teaching advice in a match unless asked. I kept real quiet.

Magma,

You should of taken that bet. I was hoping to come home with some dough.

p.s. Sup got hit in the head by Xisbum on a soft poach. I was admiring Cindy hitting back to magma, and only saw a color blur.

One thing to say about that.. I owe you one Xisbum.

Was it a yellow, pink, blue, red, and tie-dye blur? Xisbum far surpasses me in the bright and colorful, clothing category.

Nice one Sappy.

Yuppers. That may be a good day for you to 'work' (and I use that term loosely) from home.

 

[Sup2Dresq]

It was blue, teal and white. He blended too much. My fault for admiring a real rally between Magma and Cindy. Like seeing Shcmad hit topspin (if it ever does happen). Its too rare not to stop and admire it.

Almost until they realized the tree trunk of a grip you use. I haven't strung it to be honest. I thought you were in Miami and didn't know when you or myself would be back in town. So I left it on the machine. What does your weekend look like? Can you hit tomorrow morning mega early?

Nah, man, you couldn't guard him. Get within 3 feet of him and the Secret Service guys would have you on the ground and handcuffed in 1.5 seconds.

Haha, I shook Agassi's hand once... it was like shaking a bunch of bananas.

What do you mean by mega early? I'm hitting with Xisbum and the gang at 9am at Kenmore... any earlier than that and I'll have to limit my martini intake to just three tonight.
