You're final getting to love the Pistol, General Clay! You ever watch that vid I sent you? Pete was tennis deity, very similar in character to Rafa in some ways, particularly in his toughness and his unwillingness to brook argument. He prowled about the court with a similar authority. I think if he'd been born ten or fifteen years later he'd have been just as great today...

By the way, I'll check out your Camelot site. I miss The Castle! Lord Wedgie has been mindlessly cleaning cobwebs and dusting his throne since Flushing Meadows!

que pasa general Kieran.

it would appear that I am sort of revisiting my thoughts on the great Pistol Pete.

he was so damn tough in the clutch and when the chips were down that I am going to invent a cool nickname for him today.

pistol pete has managed to escape my nicknames so far.

we have "the great Serbian slayer", "the clay warrior", "the great swiss assassin", and the like but nothing for pistol.

I am going to fire up a special board just for Pistol today at Camelot. if you get chance, post that video there. I want to see it as would many others.

pistol had to be special athlete like the clay warrior. the great greek destroyer and his army attacked and conquered new York when he was just 19.

when I clicked on "like", whey did it turn to "unlike" in red?

Hello, General!

It turns to red in case you want to click it again, and undo the "like".

A few people let us know that they accidentally "liked" some posts, and wished there had been a way to undo that, so it was changed in order to accommodate that wish. If you click "like" then change your mind, click it again, and it will undo it.

Once a great player is always a great player Kieran, no matter in which era you put them. It will be like saying, had Monet born in this era, he would have not seen any success. Talent is inborn, not acquired.
It doesn't care about the time or place.

que pasa sports fans?


who is going to be brave enough to make an early prediction for tomorrow?


I say they end up with 1-1 at the end of the day.

and the czech republic will win the doubles point. that should increase their chances of an upset.

But you are rooting for the Czech I take it or it seems. But it's doesn't matter. I don't care. Not a big DC fan. But I'd like to see Nole take the pride if I have to choose.

I having one of those days today where I have nothing to do and there's hardly anybody here on my side of the office. Too many people took the day off or on vacation.
