btw, wake me up when Agassi and Sampras play each other again. Then I'll actually watch tennis. I had no clue there was a major tournament going on until I see all these posts about it today.

You missed out, man. It was actually a GREAT tennis match. One of the best I've ever seen. I had left the tv on espn2 (or whatever channel the match was on). Woke up around 8 or so and started watching. Couldn't turn it off. These guys were ballin'. They were still having a lot of long games, up until the very end. And they were still crushing their return shots. It was incredible. Truly, neither of these guys deserved to lose that match.

I just can't get into tennis. There are maybe a few good points per set. A 5-6 hour match can be wrapped up in about one minute worth of highlights. I'd rather watch that one minute than sit through 99% of nothing. Tennis is fine to play, just like golf. But I can't watch either. Unless, like I said, it's Sampras/Agassi. That was great stuff and I was always glued to my TV when they were head-to-head.

I understand what you're saying, but it wasn't the case with this one. Trust me. I can't even count the number of GREAT points there were just in the last hour or two I watched of it. It was HIGH drama, I'm telling you. These guys literally left it all out on the court. Not even exaggerating. Djokovic even collapsed after one long point.

Of course it also didn't hurt that they kept showing these guys' women in the stands (especially Djokovic's)...

But it was the Australian Open. zzzzzzzzzzz

I'd at least understand if it was the French or Wimbledon.

Yeah I know, man. I would have thought the same thing, too, had I not watched. It was CRAZY good.

Man this NBA game sucks

Changed the channel and watching golf on CBS

What a world where golf is more interesting than the NBA

ya know, this back-and-forth we are having is exactly like someone who watches Lost (like me) trying to explain to someone who has never seen it that it is/was a great great show. People who haven't seen it and criticize it ("how long can a bunch of people be stuck on a ****ing island?! "), just don't know.

I've had a rough freakin' week. But, we all have these tough times. Gotta push through it.

Yeah, I saw the NBA game ending, but only because I Was waiting for the news to come on

First NBA game I saw all season

Seriously used to be such a big NBA fan but have greatly lost interest due to questionable officiating and defensive rule changes

I was one of those people. I finally decided to give it a shot about a year and a half ago. Blew.My. Mind.

Yep me too. I laughed at a friend who watched it until she finally convinced me to get caught up between seasons 3 and 4. It was about two weeks before the season 4 debut and I watched seasons 1-3 on dvd in that two week span. I apologized to her and was an addict ever since.

Is there a montage of McNabb's bounce passes somewhere?

Saw every episode from the first one to the last one, in about 3-4 weeks. As a matter of fact, I watched the finale probably 3 or so weeks after it aired, so I was right on time.

Speaking of the finale, what a watershed moment, seeing Jack evolve from the Man of Science into the Man of Faith, with every episode still fresh in my mind, while other miserable bastards had to wait 5-6 months for the next season.

I honestly could not have waited for the final season. I would've chewed my fingers down to the bone in withdrawal, and subsequently been hauled off in a straitjacket to the nearest insane asylum, lol.

yeah I think it would have been better if I had gotten into even later. I had that wait between seasons for 5 and 6. It sucked watching one episode then having to wait another week. Watching them one after another like a long movie when I was catching up was great. Before season 6 started, I re-watched seasons 1-5, so maybe I'll re-watch the whole thing again soon.

60 Minutes covering Roger Goodell

How come everyone hates the guy for doing his job? This guy is a MAN of the people. I have said that many times. This 60 minutes piece reinforces my strong belief that Roger is a good man. He hung out at a Harlem barbershop and was willing to talk ball with the fans. He hangs around tailgates. The guy is probably at league venues like FedEx field most of the time mingling with the fans and taking input to improve his product. And this makes him a bad man how?
