Tennis Vs Hockey - Blueeyedwoman - 03-24-2007

As for the men, Roger Federer is absolutely the finest tennis player I've ever seen in person play the game. And yes, I have seen Agassi/Sampras, etc. etc. and they were all great champions but Federer is IT.

For the women, Justine Henin is up there. Amalie Mauresmo is flashy and talented but too inconsitent. Yeah Sharapova is tops, she's VERY good at what she does, which is trade big groundies, but I find that sort of game a bit boring. Davenport is another big girl with a boring game. She'll have her baby and won't come back to pro tennis.

So overall I'd say Henin. For a relatively small girl she has a HUGE game.

Notice that both my pics have one handed backhands (like me).

I always teach a two-handed backhand to kids because generally speaking I do think it's better. But it's interesting that a few of the top players still kick it old school.

Hockey needs a star. No one gives a fuck because they don't have a Kobe or a Peyton. Wayne's and NY and LA suck.

Oh and fuck contraction.

Hockey comes to mind. People think hockey is a sport. It's not. Hockey is three activities taking place at the same time: ice skating, fooling around with a puck, and beating the shit out of somebody. If these guys had more brains then teeth, they'd do these things one at a time. First go ice-skating, then fool around with a puck, then you go to the bar and beat the shit out of somebody. The day would last longer, and these guys would have a lot more fun. Another reason why hockey isn't a sport is that it's not played with a ball. Anything not played with a ball can't be a sport. These are my rules, I make 'em up.

...

Then you have tennis. Tennis is very trendy and very fruity, but it's not a sport. It's just a way to meet other trendy fruits. Technically, tennis is an advanced form a Ping-Pong. In fact, tennis is Ping-Pong played while standing on the table. Great concept, not a sport.

As a side note I played out of my tree on Friday.

Real sports cannot be played drunk.
