Snoop Dogg caught with dope in Norway

NOTE: What makes this funny is that Wiz Khalifa has been tweeting out pictures of the dro that he got in Norway.  Otherwise Snoop Dogg getting busted for weed is like Wall Street getting busted for defrauding their own clients, rigging bids on public financing schemes, and destroying the financial system with risky bets using money they didn't have.

Note: At press time it was unclear the number of current prosecutions regarding crimes of high finance.  None were confirmed.

Wimbledon: Day 5

 Rafael Nadal lost.  Andy Murray won.

Euro 2012 Semifinals: Italy 2 - 1 Germany

Mario Belotelli celebrates after scoring with Riccardo Montolivo.

Italy eliminated Germany after a dominating 90 minutes.  Mario Balotelli connected on two superb strikes early in the first half and was clearly man of the match.  The final between Spain and Italy is a re-match of their 1-1 group stage draw and will be contested on Sunday.

Rafael Nadal Out in Second Round at Wimbledon

Rafael Nadal had no answers for the powerful game of Lukas Rosol

The tennis world was shocked yesterday by what was possibly the greatest upset in the history of The Championships.  Lukas Rosol defeated Rafael Nadal in five sets.  6-7(9-11), 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

This says less about Rafa than it does about the near-impossible task of winning both Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year.  In fact, only Nadal, Federer and Bjorg have done it. 

Nadal will return to the All-England club later this summer for the London Olympic games. 

Portugal vs. Spain was nearly unwatchable

In an earlier post I said that Portugal - Spain would be an interesting match-up and I was wrong.  Guys going down like corpses all over the field.  Not cool to watch.  I'm disappointed. 

Women of Wimbledon: Miss Julia Georges

Julia Georges.  She's German.

Women of Wimbledon: Miss Tamira Paszek

Tamira Paszek.  21 years-old from Austria.  I absolutely am in love with her forehand and her dark features.  I thought she was Italian at first but her mom's Chilean.  So into her right now.  Just beat Wozniaki in a high-quality and entertaining match in which she hit 54 winners.  She moves well, hits the ball fucking hard and is brimming with confidence after winning at Eastbourne last week.  Doesn't screech like a hyena after every swing.  Fought off three match points in the second set.  5-7 7-6 6-4.  Congratuations to her.

The Women of Wimbledon

Maria Sharapova

Seeing Arantxa Rus this morning made it imperative to begin a Women of Wimbledon series.  I should also point out these ladies all look better wearing all white.  Kind of like they're all debutantes at a Cotillion.  And Wimblesdon is the only tournament that does that.  Combine that with sports bras which are my kryptonite and I'm dead in the water.  So let's strike the hammer while the irons is hot, as they say. 

It's a sport of inverse relationships between distance in the actual tournament and hotness (with the exception of Sharapova) of the players.  There are very few freaks of tennis AND hotness.  Very few.  So I'm thinking this thing will pretty much fizzle out after the first couple of rounds and then Sharapova will ride us out the rest of the way.

Australian Swimmer in Hot Water Because of this Twitter Picture

Australian gold-medal swimmer Stephanie Rice tweeted this photo of herself to her followers.

I got no problem with this.  No problem at all.

Wimbledon: Day 3

Roger Feder advanced easily over Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-3, 6-4.  Prince Charles was in attendance in the Royal Box.  Really nothing more than a few heavy-hitting practice sets for the six-time champ.  Fognini was spraying low-percentage shots from the first game to the last.

It has been a favorable draw so far for Federer.  Verdasco looms as a potential threat in the round of 16 to win one or two sets from Roger, or maybe even win.  Verdasco beat Rafael Nadal in Madrid on the blue stuff in May. Other than that Janko Tipsarevic is the only other player in Fed's section with a realistic chance at disrupting his run to the semifinals.

Novak Djokovic wasn't challenged by American Ryan Harrison who played well, but didn't have enough to trouble the world No. 1 player.  Harrison will represent the USA at the London Olympic games being held at the All England Club.  

The women's half of the draw featured two major upsets on day three.  Arantxa Rus defeated Sam Stosur in three sets.  In perhaps the most entertaining match of the day Tamira Paszek defeated seven-seeded Caroline Wozniaki 5-7, 7-6, 6-4.  The 21 year-old Austrian saved three match points in the second set and hit convincing winners off the forehand and the backhand to win the three-plus hour affair.

Wimbledon: Day 2

Rafael Nadal advanced.  Del Potro won in five sets.  Serena Williams was melodramatic.  Not much else worth talking about.

Wimbledon: Day 1

The Championships got underway today with Roger Federer cruising and an interesting match between Falla of Colombia and American John Isner. Falla prevailed in five sets.  American hopes were high for Isner.

Federer defeated young spanish southpaw Ramos 6-1, 6-1, 6-1.  Federer dominated an inferior opponent, which hasn't been a routine recently.  It is important for Federer to conserve energy in the early rounds.  He's still getting to the semis of majors, but it's taking him a couple of 5-set matches to get there.  While Nadal and Djokovic cruise easily and stay rested for the business end of the tournament.  In his recent losses in major semifinals Federer has been tired.  A well-rested Federer can still beat Nadal and Djokovic on a given day, but not if he has to go five brutal sets against lesser opponents in the draw.   The biggest flaw with Federers game over the last three years hasn't been his inability to beat Nadal and Djokovic, but instead his lack of dominance over players ranked outside of the top 20 leaving him vulnerable to the fantastic tennis that djokovic and nadal can produce. 

Defending champion and world Novak Djokovic beat Juan Carlos Ferrero easily. 

French Open Champion Maria Sharapova advanced.

Venus Williams defeated in straight sets.

Tomorrows matches include second-seeded Rafael Nadal and Scotsman Andy Murray carrying the hopes of the UK.

EURO 2012: Semifinals

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in form during EURO 2012.  Which could mean big problems for Spain.

Germany should beat Italy.  Portugal-Spain should be an interesting match.

Aranxta Rus...She's Dutch or Something

Just met this girl.  And by "met" I mean "pre-jizzed myself when I saw her on TV."  Never heard of her before today.  She just advanced to the third round of Wimbledon over Sam "Schwarzenegger" Stosur.  So congratulations to her on that and being extremely hot.  All sorts of talent.  And if you look at the pictures this is as real as it gets.  No make up.  Domination in the smile, eyes, and hair departments and whatever other categories you're into.  In terms of hotness this girl eats Sharapova for breakfast. She's also not like 6 feet 4 inches tall.
