OT: Serena Is Being Punished

[meyers7]

Did you see any Bulls games live when he was playing? I was in Chicago for the first run of championships and saw a few games at the old Chicago Stadium. Wish I'd seen more. But the ones I did see were always front row, with waitress service, because they were tickets our company owned. Which was nice

No unfortunately I wasn't around Chicago back then. My brother however, said he saw him/them quite a few times the first couple of years he was in the NBA. Before the Bulls started winning and the tickets were available and cheap.

Well the Williams sisters are one of my pet peeves.

They are pioneers. They did things their own way.

Get over it. Life is too short.

One is. The other is the better player but seems to want special treatment.

What does that have to do with anything? There are lots of sports stars I hate. (they just happen to be close to the top of that list) It doesn't mean they aren't good at what they do. Just means they are evil.

Get over it. Life is too short.

As soon as they go away.

If you can't hate teams/players/coaches in sports, what's the point of following them?

If that's the case, I assume to hell.

(on the other hand, people keep bringing this stuff up, i.e. Williams/tennis, so obviously they want comments - pro or con - if that's were you were going)

Nope, not going there.

But I will say this. Heckuva Warriors/Rockets series huh?

I do!

Because I 100% agree. Him(Michael Jordan) and Allen Iverson were miserable for the quality of product on the floor.

These are two first ballot Hall of Famers. One is in every GOAT conversation.

It doesn't make sense to me. The grandslam make seeding changes different from rankings quite often.

Also, I recall Monica Seles received special seeding and ranking at the US Open on her comeback from being stabbed. While not the same circumstances, you could still say Monica had not played enough to warrant the seeding. fYI Monica is my favorite player of all time.

AI is probably the most overrated players of all time.

And Jordan and AI took away good rules like the travel and carry and made them virtually obsolete, severely hindering the game. Making it more sports entertainment than sports.
