Wimbledon: I thought last year’s Wimbledon final was supposed to be the greatest of all time. Well, what the hell happened? I want last year’s money back damnit…
So Andy Roddick huh? Found your balls? ‘Bout fuckin’ time…I was sick and tired of seeing these faggy, femme Euros beat us proud, chest beating Yanks.
Oh, he still lost?
Whatever, let the Swiss Miss and his poofty jacket hold up another shiny dinner plate, he’s good. Joking aside, Club Fed was pushed to the limit by the rejuvenated Roddick, who was fielding an arsenal of shots we’ve all been long waiting for him to display. But as effective as all the drops and chips were, Roddick was predictably carried by his serve, and while Federer has had success against that supersonic bomb in the past, it wasn’t until the final game where he finally broke it.
Roddick had a fucking awesome Wimbledon and is rounding into form we haven’t seen from him yet. Is he a lock to make the leap to superstar and challenge Federer and Nadal? Na, but it was an encouraging sign from a player with limitless potential. Plus it was entertaining as fuck.
AT&T National: Yes, Tiger won, but that’s boring to talk about. Eh fuck it…a little nugget because it was impressive.
Tiger, fresh off dropping a shot at 15, sat on the 16th tee box knowing he needed to get one stroke back and par out on three of the most diabolical holes the pros face all year. Looking like he’d have to settle for par on the easiest of the three holes, he drains, center cup, a 20 footer for birdie, and after that, it was over. See, the new Tiger is underrated when you compare him to his old, ass kicking self…the new Tiger can pick apart a golf course like he picks his nose. He knows when to hold em and knows when to fold em, and while we’re not seeing 10+ stroke blowouts, his wins now are more frequent and impressive.
But back to the real story here…Hunter Mahan’s final round 62.
Congressional is a charter member of the US Open rota. It’s challenges are in it’s length, narrow driving lanes, hidden water hazards and undulating greens. With it’s traditional Sunday pin positions, par is sacred, but it doesn’t matter because you’re not going to break it anyways. Let’s put it this way…Tiger Woods hit a 67 on Sunday and was displaying his best all around game since the 2007 PGA at Southern Hills.
And he would’ve gotten rolled if he was in Mahan’s group.
Mahan is a player who can go low. He’s had tourneys where he’s shot two 61’s. He can go low in majors too as evidenced by his final round 65 at Carnoustie in 2007 in 30 mph winds and rain when the leaders where shooting 10 strokes higher. When his game is clicking, he’s in the argument for best drivers in the game, hits every iron within 10 feet and holes every putt. His weakness? Short game…because he rarely misses greens, why would he practice the short game?
His 62 was the single most impressive round of golf I’ve ever seen in my life. This wasn’t some dogshit TPC track or a resort course he was tearing up, this was Congressional. CONGRESSIONAL!!! And the most fucked up thing was he three putted 16, a par 5 meaning he had a shot at a 60. This was as impressive as it gets.
Baseball: Shit happened…scores here.
Oh…All Star rosters were released?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
I’m supposed to be impressed because he played a good Sunday round out of the spotlight? If Mahan played with Tiger, he would’ve wet his pants just like AK did.
So what that he got a flukey 62 in one round? Kim did the same thing earlier in the week, and I didn’t see you praising him. Sounds like racism if you ask me.
AK didn’t wet his pants…his game was nowhere to be found on sunday, yet he was always within two or three strokes.
a thursday 62 is a whole lot different than a sunday 62. in nascar, they don’t give the tropy to the guy who wins pole position do they?
/seriously asking…no idea how that plebe sport of nascar works
meh…fuck all that rationale before…you were right. it’s racism.
Agreed
Where am I and why are we talking about fag sports? Has the world gone mad?
did you lose large chunks of your long-term memory while you were in idaho? monday is fag sports day…it’s been like that for awhile.
Oh yeah. I’m also a mormon now. That’s what happens when your wife drags you to Idaho/Utah for a week. So no more swearing.
Fuck!
