VIDEO: Venus Williams Hits 127 mph Serve at Wimbledon

We’re not huge fans of Venus and Serena Williams, mostly because their reluctance to credit an opponent after a loss irritates more than nails on a chalk board, small yappy dogs, and Maria Sharapova’s grunts combined.
Nevertheless, they are phenomenal tennis players and are paving the way for a possible all-Williams final at Wimbledon next week. So […]

That Explains All Those Wimbledon Upsets

We are huge tennis fans, such that if we were every inclined to light candles before an athlete, it would be Roger Federer. *cues a “Hallelujah!” from the choir*
This 8 to 5 concept called “work” has kept our sorry bottom from parking in front of the TV to watch Wimbledon all day (except for today), […]

Russian Olympic Team to Sharapova’s Flag-Bearing Offer: Thanks But No Thanks

What Maria wants, Maria doesn’t always get. (We aren’t even talking about a Wimbledon 2008 trophy, which her second-round loss renders null).
Russia put the kibosh on tennis player Maria Sharapova’s request to carry the flag during the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.
Gasp! Could it be that they think the Siberian-born 6′3″ blonde is too Americanized and […]

We’re All Feelin’ Good at b5 Sports

No, not that kind of feelin’ good. What do you think we are, a bunch of virtual party animals who show up on the blog with a buzz? ”Feelin’ Good” here means posts about something positive, charitable, or all around “Awwww!”.
Sure, it’s antithetical to our nature (and the frozen heart we keep in the freezer) to talk about […]

Rafael Nadal is Off the Market

If you’re a single chick with a thing for big-gunned Majorcan tennis players, we regret to inform you that French Open champion and world #2 Rafael Nadal is unavailable.
Contrary to popular belief, Rafa has a girlfriend–and has for the past three years.

Rafael Nadal recreates the arm wrap move he uses with his girlfriend, as seen […]

Tiger Woods and David Beckham Among Top Athletes in Forbes’ Celebrity 100

Whoever said sports don’t pay clearly didn’t spend some time perusing Forbes’ Celebrity 100. To be honest, we’re not even sure if anyone ever said that, but if they did, boy, would we have a bone to pick with them.
Tiger Woods (2—and still holding his own at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines) and David Beckham (5) […]

Lance and Kate Instead of Roger Federer, Kyle Busch, or the Celtics

We could blog about the 2008 French Open Men’s Final, but we’re so disappointed about Roger Federer’s loss to Rafael Nadal that we get verklempt just thinking about a post. *wishes on a lucky star that things are better at Wimbledon ’cause we really heart R-Fed*
We could write about how bad-boy racecar driver Kyle Busch […]

The b5 Sports Channel on the Worst of This, That, and the Other Thing

Well, well, well. We aren’t the only tongue-in-cheek Debbie Downers around here; the rest of the b5 media Sports Channel had something to say about the “worsts” in sports, too. 
Here’s what the whole gang of us had to say:

Allison Boyer of BCS Frenzy reflects on last season with the five worst BCS teams of 2007.
Tony Baldwin of […]

Maria Sharapova’s 21st Birthday Bash

Man, have the celebrities been snubbing us when it comes to their birthday parties. (Was it something we said? It’s OK, we can take it. Really).

Victoria Beckham had a star-studded birthday bash to ring in year number 34. And tennis hottie Maria Sharapova is now legally of gambling and drinking age—’cause […]

Danica Patrick (Finally) Wins IndyCar Race

Danica Patrick doubters take note: She’s not just a pin-up gal and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hottie. And now she’s not the Anna Kournikova (title-less during her singles career) of racing because Danica Patrick won an IndyCar race.
The 50th time proved to be the charm for Patrick, who nabbed the Indy Japan 300 victory at Twin Ring Motegi on Saturday. The […]
