Federer   gets   blown   out of  the    water  by   Thomas   Berdych   on   Center  Court   at   Wimbledon.   Wasn&#039;t that  meant  to  be   Federer&#039;s   home  ?       Now   with   Nadal  there  in  the  semis  and    Britain&#039;s Andy  Murray    still  there.  Once  again  the  nation&#039;s   glorious  hopes  rest with  a   guy  who    looks   almost  as   young  as  Justin Bieber    but  who   hits  a  ball   almost  as   hard  as   Mike   Tyson  use  to  knock  out  his   opponents.  




Kings  may  well  be  happy  now  but  what  happens  at  the   first   sign  of   adversity  for  the  kid ?   He   and   Calipari   were   known   for  their  off  color    exchanges   during  practice.  With  the  money  he&#039;s  now  earning   what  makes  you  think  he&#039;s   liable  to  change  ?    



Cousins could   very  well  make  Stephon  Marbury  seem   like  a   saint  when  it&#039;s  all  said  and   done.

		<description>We&#039;ll see what happens with Cousins, Al, but from everything I&#039;ve read, Kings fans are happy with the pick. 

Ghana was a tough match, man.  And the US team in the end wasn&#039;t all that disciplined.

Ya know, had it been Crawford that acted up instead of Upton, this would have been an easy fix.  Move him.  But since it&#039;s not, I would see them opting to keep Crawford, if they can match what he wants, and getting rid of Upton.</description>

Not   really   gotten  into   Wimbledon    as of   yet.   But  here&#039;s  another      ridiculous   stat   concerning    Federer.  Of   his   last  43     tournaments   entered  he&#039;s   made  it   to  at   least   the   last   16     40    times.    That&#039;s    dominance    don&#039;t   you  think  ?   As for  Isner   I&#039;d   have  thought  it   somewhat   more  fair   had  the    tournament   officials   allowed   him  an   extra  day&#039;s   rest   before  having   faced   his  next   opponent. He was   brushed  aside   with  so  much   ease  that when  it&#039;s  all   said  and   done  that    match   against   Mahut  will  be   the   thing  that   defines  his   career.

The   real   issue   I   now   I  have  with  the   NBA  Draft   is   now   watching  the   problem    child  that   &lt;a href=&quot;http://ukathletics.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/cousins_demarcus00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;DeMarcus   Cousins &lt;/a&gt; will  become  . 



Ah  well  both  &lt;a href=&quot;http://fifa.com/worldcup/teams/teams=43942/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; England &lt;/a&gt;  and  the &lt;a href=&quot;http://fifa.com/worldcup/teams/team=43921/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; US &lt;/a&gt; have   bowed   out  of  the  &lt;a&gt; World  Cup  &lt;/a&gt;.  Can  we   now  stop  all  of  this   bitching  and   whining  ?   &lt;i&gt; Alexi  Lalas  &lt;/i&gt;    is  coming   off   looking   like  a   friggin&#039;  tool  !  I wasn&#039;t    surprised   by   either    outcome.   As   I&#039;d  initially    told   you   not   to  underestimate   Ghana.   Lalas    being  the   moron  that  he   is ,   was  simply  being  an   oaf     going  on  rankings  in  his   belief  that  the  US  was  the   better  team.   When  it  comes  to the  World  Cup  all  bets  are  off.   ESPN  if  they  want    qualified analysts   shouldn&#039;t   stick   with  someone   who&#039;s as  anal  retentive  as   Lalas.  His career  as a   soccer professional   and   executive   has  been  marginal   at  best. 


As   for  the    officiating   , well  it&#039;s   no  different    from the  crap  we  tend to see  happen  in  the  NBA   and   MLB.    


So &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=425834&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;   Upton  &lt;/a&gt;  is  now  showing    what  the   &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=tb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Rays  &lt;/a&gt;  are    really     made  off  ?     This &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/team/roster_40man.jsp?c_id=tb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; team  &lt;/a&gt; is  now   showing  why  things   will   unfurl for  them  and  they&#039;ll  be   lucky  if  they  make  the    playoffs.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/team/coaches.jsp?c_id=tb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Maddon &lt;/a&gt; should&#039;ve   ripped into  the   Upton  rather  than   giving   him  another  figgin&#039;   pass  !   Still  think  that  they&#039;re    good    enough to    contend  ?    The   gap   between  them   and   the  &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=nyy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Yankees &lt;/a&gt;  is  now   three  games  and  they&#039;re    not    going  to   be    doing  any  better   in  their   &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=tb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; upcoming  schedule &lt;/a&gt; against  the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bos&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Red Sox &lt;/a&gt; !

		<description>If the Rays don&#039;t start hitting the Blue Jays are going to overtake them.
It wouldn&#039;t hurt my feelings if Steve Smith never comes back. He&#039;s been a thorn in the Bucs side too long now.
I can&#039;t say I&#039;m suprised the U.S. team was eliminated,disappointed yes,but not suprised.</description>

		<description>I checked with the post office yesterday and they won&#039;t send a whale&#039;s vagina from SD to Tampa...damn.

I&#039;ll see if I can print up some Shawn Kemp&#039;s Kids shirts though.  BTW, I was not a huge Anchorman fan the first time around but may have to give it another try.  Probably wasn&#039;t drunk enough when I saw it originally...</description>

		<description>Yeah, that&#039;s the big question mark out there when the weather heats up. I hope the whole bankruptcy thing doesn&#039;t hurt them in being able to trade for more talent at the deadline... 

I can&#039;t believe I spent most of Thursday watching soccer and a 5th set at Wimbeldon. Unreal day for sports I don&#039;t really follow a lot. I guess I follow tennis, but usually just the quarter finals and on...</description>
