The Superbowl

[Gurn Blanston]

I don't know if it still so, but I found women's tennis more interesting to watch.  In men's tennis it degenerated into a dual of serves.  It all seemed to be dominated by who got more aces, and less double faults.  In women's tennis, for whatever reason, the servers never surpassed the point where the opponent couldn't return the ball, and so they would actually managed to hit the ball back and forth a few times.  More strategy involved.

Oddly, the Mirror Image of my own experience.   After watching 5 sets of nothing but serves, the mens' game paled considerably. To say nothing of hot, sweaty wom... um, nothing, nothing...

I'm having trouble figuring out if you are agreeing or disagreeing with my viewpoint, and why.

No, I agree with you. Am I that roundabout?  Oh well.

[Scarpia]

No, I agree with you. Am I that roundabout?  Oh well.

Sounded like you agreed, but "mirror image" implied the opposite, I thought.

It was a pun. never mind.

Yes, I wasn't thinking. Anyone else maybe...

[Scarpia]

Sorry, the pun went over my head.

That's called a lob.

My problem with women's tennis is the number of 2-0 steamrolls that began during the Williams sisters and the inability to produce truly memorable matches such as men's when they reach at 2-2. I agree that the fast serving men's game doesn't produce as much rallying, but when it does, it's of an infinitely greater quality, with some freakish athleticism on show. Women's tends to degenerate into big scream sessions as they try to return the ball too hard for the opponent to manage rather than focusing on expert placement or trying to unbalance the opponent by bluffing them as men's rallies require - as in the men's game simply hitting a return hard is often not enough, wheras a Williams can do that and win most of the time.

I must qualify, I stopped watching any tennis after the rise of the Williams sisters.

I must qualify, I started watching THE GREEN BAY PACKERS after the rise of the GREEN BAY PACKERS.

We're talking the next generation of Teflon, I am guessing?

[mahler10th]

Just to remind my USA friends that THE GREEN BAY PACKERS won the SUPERBOWL in February.
Yes.  That's THE GREEN BAY PACKERS.
Okay?
Just thought I would remind you of the great GREEN BAY PACKERS.
Right?  Thanks.

The New York Giants won against the Falcons yesterday to play off against the GREEN BAY PACKERS.  It is such a shame they were so excited at the end of the game, as come the meeting with the GREEN BAY PACKERS on the 15th of this month they will be destroyed.  The GREEN BAY PACKERS are on the way to win yet another Superbowl on February 5th.  Oh yes, did I mention THE GREEN BAY PACKERS won last years Superbowl?
I LOVE THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!  They are better than Stockhausen.

My wife is from GREEN BAY, not entirely sure if that should make me a fan of THE PACK or the opposite....

[Karl Henning]

I can certainly entertain the possibility of the superiority of Green Bay over Stockhausen.

I know many people, especially in Denver (Bogey?) loved Tibow, and they can be terribly exciting (or just terrible much of the time as well), but what is a college football team doing in the NFL?

...but what is a college football team doing in the NFL?

Winning.
