Suck it, losers!

Last week I was out of milk for Two. Whole. Days. I know, right? I’m still not over it! On my way to campus I saw a cow standing in a field and it was everything I could do to keep from pulling over and going straight to the, um, source.

Annnyway…here’s Miley’s milk ad Celia, one of my tennis students, sent me.

Perverts go away (I’m talking to you, Matt Combs).

LOVE this photo of Blake

Pretty much sums it up for Sharapova (and me)

Pretty much sums it up for Roddick (and me)

Roger probably hit a winner from here

Remember my prediction: Rafa wins this year

NBA Draft

I totally wore that same suit to prom. Joakim Noah is maybe my least favorite player in the NBA, but that picture on draft day last year is priceless!

My boy Derrick Rose went #1, in case you haven’t heard. Whoop-Whoop!

For all you haters, click here for what I said about him when he was still in high school! Holla.

P.S. Grizzlies fans, get on the LOVE TRAIN!

Geniuses

Beth and Holly are jeanuses jeanyusez geniuses. See them on my Twitter page.

Celtics!

The first basketball I ever owned was signed by Larry Bird. (My dad may have signed Bird’s name on it, actually.) It always made me pull for him and the Celtics.

You know I’m a Grizzlies fan. But if sucking was a crime, the Grizzlies starting five would be locked up.

So…since back in November of last year I predicted the Celtics to win it all [almost]…I just want to say congrats! Bird would be proud.

The Business

All this week I’ve been teaching at Coach Williams’s ASU Tennis Camp. Most of my students have been from 4 to 6 years old. We’ve had a ton of fun. (Except for when Logan hit me with his racquet in my, um, you know, my “business.”)

Thanks Maxie, Gracye, Carly, Allie, Sophia, Lily, Tennison, Wesley, Daniel, Jake, Aaron, Connor, Sebastian, and, yes, even Logan, for a great week! Usted en fuego!

Tim Russert, 1950-2008

Three years ago Tim Russert spoke at the Orpheum in Memphis. Because I used to watch his show, Meet the Press, every week, I went. He gave a great speech about appreciating your life and loving your family.

My date and I were sitting near an exit and as soon as he finished speaking we slipped out to leave. As we turned on the sidewalk toward our car, there stood Tim Russert. We said hi and told him what a great speech he’d given, and he seemed very warm and appreciative, taking the time to shake our hands and look us in the eyes as he spoke to us.

In my opinion, Russert was a great newsman. He was what all journalists should be: fair. He will be missed.

Rest in peace, Tim Russert.

That’s not me. But my arms look just like that.

That’s Rafa Nadal. He just won the French. For the 4th time in a row. He’s never lost there. Ever. … It’s like me. If I was in a nerd contest.

Annnyway, I’m teaching at the ASU Tennis Camp this week. Stop by and make fun of me throw crap at me bask in my tennis playing genius.

I Passed!!

Guess who speaks a little French and just passed his USTA tennis coaching test? Moi, that’s who!

To celebrate, I offer you the “Missouri” remix!
