Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, September 09, 2005

This is a huge weekend of sports.

The tennis world is still buzzing about the Agassi-Blake epic from Wednesday night/Thursday morning. If you didn't stay up to see it, pray for a rain delay this weekend so they'll show it again. The tournament's conclusion may be less exciting anyway, because the man increasinly called "best ever" is still out there beating everyone else down.

Unless you're into ogling Russian teenagers, the women's side has been a little less exciting. Venus fell to Clijsters after taking out Serena in a snoozer, and Davenport folded under a mound of unforced errors.

The NLF got underway last night, and the Patriots still look like football's version of Roger Federer. We might want to nominate a sacrificial lamb from the NFC and fast-forward to the Superbowl.

The Solheim Cup started this morning in Indy. The U.S. team, including pregnant Laura Diaz, got ready by spinning 50 Cent in a motor home.

Even if you don't normally watch golf, you might check this out (all weekend on the Golf Channel), because it's actually a great team sport. And after getting our pants beaten right off last time, we've taken an early lead today.

UPDATE: the early Solheim lead has disintegrated.
