Exactly, Neil. Totally agree with you about The Social Network. idek know why I finished it.
Missing you and Riley on twitter! :)

Are we sure this is Na Li? Don't care much for the discussion of the MSG event (only because I didn't really care about the event itself) but some interesting observations in the Notes section. My gripe: Nole has not become Fed. He's just Nole. Speaking of which: "Slice, variety, patience: Th...
You aren't missing anything. Timberlake was the best part about the movie, and I'm not a fan of his.
You should just watch the first scene. It's the only part with any real substance.

Someone actually compared The Social Network to Citizen Kane? Lulz. The latter is a masterpiece, the former is mediocre.

You're back!!!!
I have missed your comments, seriously.
Pic This: Off With a Bang.
Great start of the year for Petko, who takes out Groth in a hard-fought three-setter to make the semis in Brisbane. As is her trademark, she shot her gun and did a little dance before sending a heartfelt racquet clap Jarka's way. Sidenote: Jarka's husband, the newly mohawked Sam Groth, serve...
This is a weird choice. Beckham to Ronaldo to...Rafa?
I spent some time googling photoshoots of those 2 in past Armani ads (good way to spend Friday morning) and I can't see Rafa posing in those positions and looking comfortable/sexy.
Also, he's apparently posing with MEGAN FOX in the ad. LOL for days.
If It Means More Butt Shots, I'm In.
Looks like Rafa's signed a deal with Armani for underwear and jeans. Kind of an odd choice, Armani. Do you really want your spokesperson to be a guy who can't seem to stop picking at has draws as though they are the most uncomfortable things ever? That said, dude can probably sell a few pa...
Absolutely horrifying. His facial expression is so lulzy, and that part can't be blamed on the photographer.
Never ceases to amuse me though, how Fed's KADs creatively defend everything, even fugly photos.
What the Who?
This is how you photograph Roger Federer: This is not how you photograph Roger Federer: This is how you create a topical LOL Cat: Aaaaaand scene. (Pics: Jura.com, Twitter, ICanHazCheezburger.com)
That wasn't Feli's first career title. Vienna 2004, and it was a five-set final. Glad they don't do that anymore.
FD 2010 Year in Review: February
Ah, February. That dead zone between Australia and the US hard-court swing. And you know what happens when you don't have much on your calendar? VACATION. Rafa started February at #4. Crazy, right? Ana and Nole stopped by Belgrade to, I don't know, look cute or something. Meanwhile, Fer...
I hope Tomas and Robin kick everyone's ass.
But realistically, Nole FTW.
Pic This: Wait, How Many Wallet Sized Ones Do I Get With Package C?
Don't smile, Moose. It's just so not your thing. Is Nole growing a playoff beard? Secondly, can whatever he has going on with his chin even be classified as a "beard"? Jowltastic! Faces of evil. (Pics: Getty)
Sorry, no chance that Robin is exhausted, given he sucked mostly since USO and has just now found his form/confidence again. If anything, Ferru will be the exhausted one.
Robin has a 8-4 record vs Ferru and indoor is his best surface, so it's pretty likely Muzz and Robin come out of Group B.
Group A, Nole comes out for sure. Not sure about the second guy though.
Intriguing.
Here are your WTF Groups: Group A: Rafa, Nole, Berd, A-Rod. Group B: Fed, Moose, Sod, Daveed. Lots of questions in Group A: Rafa's shoulder, Nole's motivation given Davis Cup, Berd...sucking, and A-Rod being A-Rod. But it should be Rafa and Nole out of that group. Main question for Group B: ...
LOL @ "Justin Bieber." Perfect. I don't even know why Canales is in these ads tbh. Could they not afford a fourth relevant athlete?
Villa Maravilla > everyone else, obviously.
Xabi! And....XABI!!!
So what this ad is telling me is (1) David Villa is so fast he can fly (true), (2) Xabi may not be able to fly but he very fast on land (true), and (3) Fernando Verdasco is faster than Justin Bieber (true). Oh and this line of Adidas stuff is fug. True. (Pics: Facebook)
SO glad his hair is back to how it should be. And now he's winning again. Coincidence? I doubt it.
Vamos Fer!
Pic This: Shear Genius.
Well that's a nice end-of-the-year present. Not sure what's going on with the Grandpa shoes though. (Pic: Getty)
Yeah because the homeless look was much better. And btw he had "crap" in his longer hair too.

Meh, I don't like it.
Davis Cup = bromancing. Bromancing = Davis Cup.
DNW it to be a combined event. Totally changes the vibe for the worse if you think about it. I mean think of a combined Spain or France team. Talk about a disaster.
I won't be watching.
Is This a Trap?
Because I kind of love this idea. Yet, because I'm normally such a hater, I find myself in a state of confuzzlement. On one hand, who wouldn't want a combined event that features the men and the women in a modified Davis/Fed Cup format that is played in alternating years? If it's going to be...
Stosur looks 40.
Doh! Ha! 2010.
The ladies are finally in Doha (doesn't it seem like we've been talking about the YECs for forever now?) and kicked off the festivities by glamming up for the sole purpose of showing off their amazing sock tans. Which is kind of the only thing they really can show off given that it's, you kno...
Yep, Guillermo has always been hot, and Robin is hot too.
Pic This: Shit Gets Weird In Asia.
The random ellipses, the smiley face, the economy of language. This may be the greatest fan sign ever. Though, this one gets commitment points for refusing to let the fact that this match was played on indoor courts that fans could not access stop her from cheering on her man. And "alle...
Well, sucks Roddick's hurt, sorry to his fans.
If Fer doesn't capitalize on this opportunity, I'll be pissed. He's only 150 pts behind Roddick in the WTF race. If Roddick can't play the next few weeks, Fer has no excuse to not qualify.
Augh! It's Not Even Fun To Hate On You Anymore.
At first I saw this pic, right? And I'm like "Awwww, yeah. Gonna have fun with this one. Definitely a dick joke, maybe a "he needed both hands to try and find it", or a "Oh, you like a little ball action, too, Andy?" or something. But come on, this one was right in my wheelhouse and I was ...
One of a handful of likeable players.
LOL, funniest thing I've seen today. Thanks.

Hideous dresses on Bepa and Caro, wow. You couldn't pay me to wear them.
About Ana's draw...this is a premier tournament. Kiri's draw is just as bad if not worse (having to play Nails, Flavs, then Lena). Ana had a million chances earlier in the year to make some points in small tournaments with weak draws, and to get her ranking up. Instead she kept a Serena-like schedule, only played stacked tourneys and didn't win many rounds.
Her draws in premier tournaments are usually bad, but there are reasons for that, and bad luck isn't one of them.
That being said, all the best to Ana in this tournament.
No, Really. We're Excited. We Promise.
Did someone photoshop out the dildos? Because those are some seriously anemic fist pumps, if that's what they're trying to do. The Tokyo draw is out and everyone in that picture has a reason to be smiling other than Lumberjack Sam. She's in a quarter along with Vika, Ana, Dinara, Aravane, W...
I don't believe Bepa was fatigued, sorry.
I also think it's hilarious that she is saying Kim was physically better than her in the match, and leaving it at that. Because the mental part had nothing to do with it. Riiiiight.
Mommy, Didn't We Do This Already?
All I wanted was a competitive match. I didn't get one. 59 minutes, 2 and 1, 20 straight matches for Kim on the blue courts at Flushing. Kim held up her end of the bargain. She bounced back after playing two sub-par matches to actually bring her game in the final. If both players brought...
I knew Bepa was going to fail in the final.
Caro would have put up more of a fight.
BOOM. Did I Just Blow Your Mind?
When I was in New York I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to someone in Bepa's camp. I told them that she looked fantastic in that NYTM piece and that the fans really loved it. He was surprised (a) to hear that Bepa had fans and (b) because according to him she doesn't think she's be...
Bepa's not winning the title, though.
Poor Sergey.

Such a bizarre outburst even from Roddick, who acts like an immature ass in nearly every match I watch of his. I mean, why would he go off on a tangent about which foot it was? Who does that? I've never seen that before. It's not like it was an important point that directly cost him a game or a set. I can only imagine how insane he'd have gone if he was in Serena's situation. And he went on about it between points for at least 5 minutes.
Good riddance. Sorry, I've tried hard to like him, but every time I watch a match he makes it impossible. He's nice enough offcourt, but his oncourt antics are just so embarrassing and over-the-top. This isn't an isolated occasion. He has NO RESPECT for the officials, ever.
Between the douchery, the nervous, frenetic energy he has oncourt in general, and his boring game, I find it nearly impossible to watch his matches unless he's playing a fave. I agree with what someone above and a lot of people on twitter said: Roddick is basically a pusher with a big serve these days (and his serve isn't what it used to be). Yawn.
"Janko, Janko, Janko! Oi Oi Oi!"
What a night on Ashe. I wasn't even supposed to be there. I didn't have a ticket to the night session but lucked into one thanks to some friends. So there we were, up in Section 309, row O (translation, high up in the upper deck) drinking beer and occasionally cheering on Tipsy, who I'm not...
Vika is just fine at the moment, that's all that matters :D

Best JJ pic ever. So let's just run this down, for posterity's sake: Serena (out) -- foot injury Venus -- knee injury JJ -- ankle injury Kim -- hip injury Sam -- right arm injury Masha -- ankle/foot injury Justine (out for the year) -- elbow injury MGMT -- recovering knee injury Ana -- ank...
Well now that Fernando crashed and burned in his first match, just like last year, (along with Pico, Feli and other obvious hotties) everyone that is hanging out in Mason can take some time to enjoy Tomas instead.
I'm a KAD of Fernando and Tomas both, myself. Hope Tomas wins this thing now.
Boner. Shrinker.
Mmmm...Tomas. I confess, this is the first time I've seen Tomas practice up close. And bless the humid and hot Cincy weather, he is one tasty morsel when he gets all sweaty and shit. Unfortunately, I have no one to share my Tomas meltyness with because I happen to be hanging out with a bunc...
I'm guessing Stepanek, since he's the obvious "zomg he is so hideous!?!" guy.
I don't mind Radek though, so it wouldn't keep me from enjoying Tomas.
