Well, Agassi had a memorable win over Baghdatis. I dreaded this, and it happened. First off, the match was EXCELLENT. A good match (quality wasn't really great...), and they both fought their hearts out. But, again, the obnoxious crowd ruined it. Does Andre really enjoy having these rowdy, bandwagon fans cheering him like this. It's awful. Everything is so over the top, that I don't see how he can enjoy this. This is why star athletes should never announce retirements.
Meanwhile, this ruins the Open... as CBS is the worst with the bullshit hype. Agassi/Roddick 4r match on Labor Day? Oh, fuck no. I can't watch this weekend without wanting to stab people for the 1324124 stupid, ridiculous comments and happenings that will ensue.
The sad thing is that I've loved Andre since 1999. The way he's turned around his career is nothing but inspiring. But, sadly, the best memories are going to be of hoodlums mindlessly cheering for him. Much like Jimmy Connors from 1991. That is NOT what tennis should be like.
In other sports news, college football kicked off today. I only watched the UTEP/SDS game. This game further shows why there should be no meaningful games in the first couple weeks of the season. Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. Games before my birthday (13 September) prove absolutely nothing as to who the better teams are. And be assured that FSU/Miami will be another flaming pile of suck like it was last year. What is the point of those two teams playing now. They get more than enough national exposure during the season. Why stupidly risk your entire season like this. Oy.
In TSM news, nothing interesting. This place is still struggling. NHB's flavor of the week is insulting wildpegasus now. I'm lost as to why people find this jocular. It's still better than the "teddy bear" week, and the "Boardum, let's PARTI DUDEZ" week. The only part of the WP situation that I'd find interesting is why the mods are so adamant on doing nothing about him. They don't explain it.
Note to people wondering where I am on MSN/AIM, not messaging back, etc... I haven't been on much. I go through these stretches. As everyone should know by now, I'm very antisocial and hate talking to people. Plus, with tennis on, I'm watching TV and shit. It's nothing personal against you. So, don't get all offended. Thanks.
I finally have tennis tomorrow night. Wish me luck. I'm expecting to win this little tourney. Then, I have a fairly big USTA one in 2 weeks. I'm losing there, but I want to be competitive. I like to show off.
That's all for now. I'm kinda sleepy. Only got about 3 hours of sleep last night due to stressing over nothing.
xoxoxo
Leelee.
69.
US Open was boring today. Roger won. Some others did. Last night just killed all my interest for the Open. Ugh. And tomorrow will be a washout with Ernesto... then, the Andre Agassi farewell tour will be in full effect Sunday and Monday. Ugh.
Good to see that a "casual" tennis fan hates the silly Andre shit, as well. The "smark" tennis freaks like me all despise it.
Also, in tennis news, I won 8-2 tonight (lame pro-set) tonight. Over a girl named Carmella. And she looked a lot like the "Diva" Search crap girl, too. Only 4 aces and 8 service winners, though. I expect at least 2 service winners per game.
Mostly because of Santana and Liriano. And Mauer. And just how the Twins are run. How teams should be assembled. They're the team I'm rooting for this year. So, of course, the White Sox will pass them, and that asshole Ozzie will get the attention he wants.
The US losing to them is absolutely hilarious. Give all the excuses you want. It doesn't matter. The US has by far the best talent in the world. And they always lose. Just quality stuff. And further shows how sad this country is.
I haven't watched any wrestling, except for a couple viewings of Randall Orton, in nearly 5 months now. I'm proud of myself.
That's all for now.
xoxo.

RAW Preview - 5/1/06.
A new era begins, as "May Madness.", the 64-wrestler tournament begins in the quest for the WWE Championship.
Eight 1st round matches begin tonight...
Can the KING OF KINGS win his 11st WWE Championship? Mickie James vs. Kane? Danny Basham is on RAW?
Such excitement.
Watch.
85.
Wii.
I want one of these things. I have for over 2 months. And they're still nowhere.
The worst part is that stores are still holding them for "sales" on Sundays. Fuck that. You're feeding into people with no lives. I'm not getting up at 4am just to get a console. I have respect for myself. I have responsibilities.
Fuck people.
90.
Things that PISS ME OFF: Part X.
Forcing Spanish on US Citizens.
I'm definitely not as hard on this as most other right-wing wackos are. I fully understand the importance of speaking multiple languages. Infact, it's a little embarassing that just about all of my European and South American friends can speak, or at least try to speak, many languages including English.
But, when a different language is FORCED on a country, that's wrong. If you're moving to another country, you still have to give the effort to learn that language. I'm sure it's an inconvenience for those people, but it's definitely worse to force this on millions of others.
One of the toughest parts of finding a job in Arizona is the bilingual factor. I'd say at least 1/3 of the jobs I was looking at REQUIRED you to speak Spanish very well. And that's just getting higher and higher. Even in Western New York, which has amongst the lowest amount of Hispanics in the nation, had a significant amount of jobs requiring this. When it reaches this point, this is simply WRONG. My career and well-being should not be damaged because people don't want to learn a fucking language. If you don't want to learn English, stay in Mexico. Thanks.
After all, English is not my first language. And I speak it better than most people who've been here their entire life. Lazy fucks.
1. Was he ever regarded as the best player in football? Did anybody, while he was active, ever suggest that he was the best player in football?
Doubtful. Irvin was amongst the elite WR's in the early 90s, but it's difficult for any WR's to receive such honors.
2. Was he the best player on his team?
Doubtful. Emmitt Smith is regarded as the best skill position for that Cowboy dynasty. Larry Allen was also probably their most dominating player.
3. Was he the best player in football at his position? Was he the best player in the conference at his position?
Doubtful. Jerry Rice was still playing from 1990-1995. And very well.
4. Did he have an impact on a number of great seasons?
Yes. Irvin was one of the best receivers in the league for a team that won 3 Super Bowls.
5. Was he good enough that he could play regularly after passing his prime?
Yes. Irvin remained a solid top receiver until his career ending injury in 1999.
6. Is he the very best football player in history who is not in the Hall of Fame?
No.
7. Are most players who have comparable statistics in the Hall of Fame?
Mostly. Longevity is a weakness for Irvin, who started out slow in his first 3 years, and then had to retire at 32. So, he only had about 7 years of pure starting WR duty. But, in those 7 years, he was top 10 in receiving for six of those years. Top 5, four times.
8. Do the player's numbers meet Hall of Fame standards?
Yes. 3 Super Bowl rings. A big part in all of those teams. His previously mentioned statistics. He's easily in.
9. Is there any evidence to suggest that the player was significantly better or worse than is suggested by his statistics?
No. If anything, his stats could have been better without Emmitt Smith who had a heavy workload during the Cowboys' dynasty run, and vultured many TD's away.
10. Is he the best player at his position who is eligible for the Hall of Fame?
Many would say yes. But, I don't believe Irvin is.
11. How many MVP-type seasons did he have? Did he ever win an MVP award? If not, how many times was he close?
None. Although, he did lead the league in receiving in 1993, and had a huge 1995 (The year Rice had a ridiculous season, unfortunately). But, not enough for serious consideration.
12. How many Pro Bowl-type seasons did he have? How many Pro-Bowl games did he play in? Did most of the players who played in this many Pro-Bowl games go into the Hall of Fame?
5 Pro Bowls for Irvin. He deserved that many. There's some players with less than 5 who are in, so it's enough.
13. If this man were the best player on his team, would it be likely that the team could win their conference?
I think so.
14. What impact did the player have on football history? Was he responsible for any rule changes? Did he change the game in any way?
None.
15. Did the player uphold the standards of sportsmanship and character that the Hall of Fame, in its written guidelines, instructs us to consider?
Lolz. Here would be Irvin's achilles' heel. Irvin has been arrested at least 3 times for drug possession. He's been noted as a sexual abuser, but not proven. He's made racist statements. He's a stupid loudmouth clown on ESPN every week.
Would he get my vote?
No. Because I hate Michael Irvin. If voters can not vote for certain for silly reasons, then I can too. And I can use the lack of character as a reason. I don't want to picture his induction ceremony. As for just basing it on Irvin's playing career, he's easily in. 3 Super Bowls, an elite receiver for most of the 90s, his talent and accomplishments cannot be denied. The only thing Irvin lacks is the longevity and the gaudy stats that types like Art Monk and Andre Reed have, and I don't put much weight into that.
5.
So, 5 months since I last posted here. Oh well.
The NCAA tournament is going miserably for me. I had Kansas making at least the Sweet 16, and mostly the Elite 8 in all my pools. Basically, they were my Louisville pick from last year. And that one paid off big time. Therefore, I am dead. And likely the first time no money for Leelee since 1999. Damn you.
The World Baseball Classic continues. Don't care. US lost. On the wrong day... they're supposed to lose before the NCAA begins so I can laugh at them. I always root against the US in world competitions like this. Their attitude is always so much weaker than the rest of the world. I'm not sure why that is... but it's sad. Like in Russia, athletes would give up anything just to play for their country. Especially in tennis, it's scary how patriotic they are. But, in the US, it's puling teeth to get those primadonnas to play.
In my next entry, we'll be looking back at the 2003 A.L. MVP race! And other exciting stuff!
I had lots of fun tonight. And, I finally know someone in Phoenix. But, that's boring.
I'd like to talk about Milky today. Since it's his birthday.
He's very weird. But, I want him. That is all.
This blog is disappointing. Some day, I promise to write long entries like HTQ. But, not on wrestling.
K. Bye.
And the period better come after 3, this time.
82.
Mole.
No, not because he's the new leader of TSM that will be banning me shortly.
Because he's the perfect example of that asshole you have to deal with in life, no matter what. I know this all too well since I went to Catholic school with a bunch of rich yuppies and I was one of the poor city kids. There's always the braindead moron who starts shit with everyone and gets away with whatever because he's got a rich daddy.
How does this stupid asshole have the extra money to buy TSM. To buy whatever HD garbage he wants. The ability to con an attractive, yet stupid girl to be with him. Yet, after blowing all his dough on drugs on Lord knows what else.
Rich daddy.
This is why I feel it's always right to steal. Because we should steal from people like that.
83.
Randall Orton.
Why does he have to be such an asshole and keep fucking up? He doesn't need to add fuel to the many hater's fire.
Be hot. Do your job.
Or, better yet. Get out of wrestling and do porn. He'd be perfect there. Plus, I could watch him more regularly.
86.
DRM (Digital Rights Management).
If you've downloaded any illegal movies or music in the past year or so, you've probably got some of these. I fucking hate them. HATE THEM. I just want to watch my porn.
So, I downloaded basically the entire Hustler site the past 2 days. And now I have to run programs to delete all the damn DRM's so I can play them on my XBox. Fuckers.
I'd be so pissed if I actually paid for this stuff.
88.
Things that PISS ME OFF: Part VIII.
ESPN's tennis coverage.
Dear ESPN, we know you really don't want to show tennis.
Most of your viewers want NFL NFL NFL. Show them 24 hours of NFL NFL NFL STEVE SMITH TOM CAPTAIN CLUTCH BRADY.
So, please stop with the tennis. We won't miss you. Please spare us. Because, really, you know Chris Fowler fucking sucks with every stupid thing he says about tennis. He does college football so well. Keep him there.
SMACKDOWN 5/5/06
Michael Cole: Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! With me is Tazz, and we have a super show lined up for you tonight! 8 1st round matches in the quest for the WWE Championship!
Tazz: Yeah Cole, look at the lineup we got today. Undertaker/Booker T in a first round match?! That’s like 9 world titles amongst them! That could be a final for dis tournament. Plus, the return of Batista! Randy Orton! Bobby Lashley! Wow!
Michael Cole: Wow, indeed! And now we take you to a Scotty Go Potty match.
********************
Round 1: Scotty Go Potty vs. Gunner Scott
Tazz: Hey Cole, when did Scotty 2 Hotty change his name to Scotty Go Potty?
Cole: To be honest, I was surprised he was still hired by WWE. But, I must say this a fine name and gimmick change for him.
Tazz: Yeah, well overdue! And who’s this other guy?
Cole: Who knows? Let’s ignore this match, and hopefully it will go away soon.
Series of hip tosses to start, followed by a dropkick knocks Gunner to the mat.
Dropkick to the knee by Go Potty firmly puts down the former Albright.
Scotty goes for a flying elbow, but MISSES!
Gunner takes advantage with a huge suplex, and goes for the pin.
1….1.8.
Scotty tries to counter with a hurricanrana, but Gunner counters with a powerbomb.
Hooks the leg, 1….2…2.8… Scotty just gets his shoulder up.
Gunner then stupidly goes for a sleeper hold, quieting the crowd.
Scotty retards up, and takes the offense with a Russian leg sweep.
Followed by a flying axe handle, setting up… sigh.
You know the rest.
Still a good match, though.
Winner: Scotty Go Potty, via pinfall. (8:55) **3/4
***************************
Round 1: Jamie Noble vs. Sylvan
Sylvan botches a neckbreaker on Noble to start, but thankfully Noble is fine.
Noble then pulls out a mule kick, then a back heel kick, which Sylvan takes the bump on his head twice.
Noble is trying his damndest, but we’re in “bowling shoe ugly” territory here, so James wisely cuts to the chase.
Modified Dragon Sleeper, and Sylvan passes out.
Winner: Jamie Noble, via submission (2:30) **1/2
******************************
Randy Orton comes to the ring.
Randall: I’d like to thank our fine new chairman for giving me the opportunity to win the WWE Championship. A FAIR opportunity. As everyone knows I am a 3rd-generation superstar. And I enjoy killing legends. Triple H may call himself the King of Kings, but I am the proven Legend of Legends.
And look how damn sexy I am. I can have every woman in the world. I am truly irresistible. I can treat you all like shit, and you’ll flock to me.
Of course, I don’t expect any of you pathetic male losers to understand. So, continue booing me. Your jealousy only proves how damned incredible I am. Love me.
Oh, and Joey Mercury. Please refrain from attending our match today. It’s pointless. I’m only interested in defeating legends. And the only real legend on this paltry brand, is The Undertaker. Who has lessened himself to cheating tactics in order to defeat me before. That will be no more, however. I will defeat him.
So, Joey, please don’t interfere with my plans. Thank you.
**********************
Round 1: Mark Henry vs. Nunzio
Nunzio starts the match out with a spin kick, and a lariat that has the big man shaking.
Then, an attempted cross-body from the 2nd rope… and Henry catches Nunzio.
Henry tosses Nunzio in the air, and catches him by the neck, and sends him down with a side choke slam.
Nunzio looks dead.
Then, Henry drags Nunzio up again and delivers a huge power slam.
Splash. And Nunzio is mush.
3.
Winner: Mark Henry, via pinfall (1:46) **1/4
**********************

MY NAME IS FINLAY. AND I LIKE TO FIGHT.
Tazz: Ooh, Cole. I’ve been waiting for this matchup. Should be a wrestling masterpiece.
Finlay starts things out with some right hands, that back London into a corner.
Followed by a Stun Gun.
But, London manages to counter afterwards with a kick to the sternum.
London hits a flying kick from the top rope, and follows with a hurricanrana pin attempt.
1…2… 2.5

He follows with a 450 attempt from the top rope!

London goes for a headlock afterwards, and Finlay fights his way out.
A brutal forearm shiver causes London to bleed from the mouth.

Some more stiff punches to London’s bloodied mouth further exacerbates Paul’s breathing.

London now his entire face covered in blood.

With Lashley in full control of the match, he celebrates with the crowd, and Holly uncovers the top turnbuckle.
Lashley slowly walks over, and Holly grabs Bobby by the tights, and slings him headfirst into the open turnbuckle.
Holly then knocks down the staggered Lashley with one of his trademark perfect drop kicks.
1…2….3.
Winner: Hardcore Holly, via pinfall & cheating (7:40) ***1/2
************************
Round 1: (10) Randy Orton vs. Joey Mercury
HEY! NOTHIN’ YOU CAN SAY!
Mercury hits an early drop kick on Orton, to which Melina screams…
And WWE owner Princess Leena comes to ring…
Princess Leena : Excuse me, Melina. But that behavior is unacceptable in a match with such a fine wrestler in the ring. Leave the arena, or you’re fired. That is all.
Melina departs.
Orton then hits the RKO on his Joey, who wonders why he’s still on television without Melina there.
Fin.
Winner: Randy Orton, via pinfall (1:00} **3/4

1….2….3.
Rest in piece, cocksucker.
Winner: Booker T, via pinfall (14:23) **1/2
**********************
Cole: For all of you that don’t want to read this shit, here’s the results today.
That’s all. I’m tired. Watch Scrubs on Sunday.
54.
I actually watched most of Raw today. Mostly because it's the start of the fantasy season, and I'm very competitive. I doubt my viewing lasts long. Raw blows so much. I may just stick to SD, which I usually tolerate, and even enjoy occasionally.
The Spirit Squad is simply a horrible gimmick. I've already posted a few times about it, so yeah.
HHH starts to be an enjoyable character, showing some life and the occasional weakness lately... then they do that absolutely unneeded sledgehammer bit, where Doane took the sledge, and HHH is all FUCK THAT NOISE YOU DON'T TOUCH MY SLEDGEHAMMER, N00B!1 That shit just doesn't help anybody. Although, if there's one bright spot, Kenny is the leader, and he is quite impressive in the ring. Except for tonight. I really REALLY hope they kill the Spirit Squad gimmick soon. Putting them in so many main events could damage these guys for a while.
Umaga... yeah, it's a ripoff of Samoa Joe. That's nice. This Estrada guy is kinda funny, though.
The women's division is dead once again. The only way to salvage things is Mickie/Melina. And build up these new random bimbos in the meantime, hoping a couple stick. And push Victoria, damnit. Why they don't properly use her as a wrestler is beyond me.
RVD/Benjamin was god-awful. As much as the smarks love RVD, they seem quite oblivious to his many weaknesses. It's unfortunate that WWE didn't take advantage of his overness in ~2002... but, wanting to make up for it now just isn't the right thing to do.
This ECW thing is nothing but an attempt to suck more money out of the desperate older fans. The shit will fail miserably if they seriously plan to keep it up for more than 2 months. But, by then, it will probably be an EXTREME version of The Internet Shows, and nobody will care anyway.
I forget what else. Raw is so poor compared to SD.
I'm gonna go bother wrestlers on myspace. Nice ones this time, hopefully.
xoxoxo

No, this isn't the good type of Penis...
6) Venus Williams wins 2005 Wimbledon.
The regular sports fan, and even some of the smarter tennis fans, often ask me why I was in uber-bitch mode after 2005 Wimbledon.
"But, Venus is still like one of the best players in the world." No, she isn't.
"Maria won in 2004, and you hate her guts!" Yes, but this was a million times worse.
"VEE REE R NUMBA #1" Fuck you. Die.
By no means am I a Williams' hater like so many people out there. I appreciated their games from 1999-2004. They worked hard to be the best in the world, and used their impeccable talents to dominate the game. Yes, when they faced each other in 4 straight grand slam finals, it was very ugly tennis to watch... but, hell if I know how it feels to face your sister in situations like that.
The problems ensued in 2005... and not with Serena winning the Australian Open that year. That was a deserved win... despite Lindsay Davenport sucking and blowing in a grand slam for the 1242th time.
It started in the Miami QF with Serena, and older sister, Penis. Penis was really struggling at the time, and soon to drop out of the Top 20. And Serena blatantly tanked said match, so Penis wouldn't drop off the face of the earth. Not that the Willies' haven't done these sorts of things for each other before... but, this was telling.
Telling because Penis didn't give a fuck.
Fast forward to Roland Garros 2005. Watch Penis lose to Sesil Karatancheva. More specifically, watch that 3rd set. The absolute worst tennis I've ever seen from a professional player.
Being a tennis instructor, I know some things. And it was obvious that Penis hardly practiced. You don't miss groundstrokes like that by accident.
Then, 2 weeks later at Wimbledon... Penis is about to go down to one of the worst players on tour in the early rounds, but barely survives. The bad thing is that this gave her some practice, and some confidence. And her future opponents, including slug Lindsay Davenport choked against Penis in the final, and the unthinkable happens.
A player who barely tries, and plays half-ass, wins the biggest tournament of the year.
This still pisses me off. I know a few of the girls on tour. They bust their ass 365 days a year to try and survive on tour. And this bitch just waltzes in, and wins it all.
Proving life isn't fair. And hard work doesn't always matter.
As of 2006, it looks like the Williams' may finally be retired. They're a sad story. Even moreso, Serena than Venus... because we should be speaking of Serena in the same breath as legends like Navratilova and Graf, with Serena's unmatched talents.
But, I guess it's more important to be a crack ho, or being an F-list "actress", than using these talents.
That's why it's hard to be a tennis fan, sometimes. If the players don't give a shit, why should the fans?

I need to update this more. Mindless rambling calms my insane brain matter. Unfortunately, work has been busy, forcing me to do stuff. Which I shouldn't complain about, because the day goes so much faster when you're constantly running around doing stuff. Although, I would prefer this business consisting of computer junk, instead of running errands for people and walking back and forth from 5 floors. Especially with the uncomfortable pretty shoes I wear for work. But, such is life. I'm never satisfied.
I read some of the comments here, and the expected opinions of how horrible I am have ensued. Bleh. I don't need people to tell me these things. Unless it's someone I don't like and/or you swear and insult me a lot. So, we can fight. I love to fight.
The last few days have been boring. Yesterday, was basically work, eat, watch Raw, sleep. Awful. I always feel so stupid after watching Raw. Even though I rarely do, I eventually come back to it every few months... and it is just SO bad. The main event with Vince was hard to watch. I'm obviously forcing myself to watch WM, and I hope it blows like expected, so I don't con myself into watching anymore. I'll stick with SD for a while, though.
Had tennis tonight. A mixture of a lesson/match type thing. As anyone who's watched me play knows, you can't give me lessons. I have the most unique, fucked up game possible. Ginormous serve, decent volleys, and can't hit a backhand in the court to save my life. Probably due to me being legally blind in my left eye, and my general clumsiness and oafness.
And now, I'm playing MVP '04. With my beloved cheating Yankees. A-Rod hitting 100+ HR's a year. And plunking Jeter with pitches at every chance. Great fun.
Not much else to talk about. I have off tomorrow, and have no idea what I want to do. And all the fun sports stuff starts this weekend, with the Final 4, and sucky WM, and the Snobby Asshole golf tournament next week. Where I'll only care if Hefty and Eldrick the Bum lose in horrible fashion.
Fin.

So, my least favorite golf tournament starts tomorrow. Augusta always gives me weird feelings. It's obviously pretty, but it has the feel of a KKK convention meeting the other 51 weeks of the year. It reminds me of my uber-rich uncle, who's probably the biggest racist asshole in the world, and how he always lied about playing Augusta. This is the only week where I openly cheer for Tiger. If Tiger or Vijay continue their domination of this tournament, then that's just grand. You know it kills those snobby, old bastards to see it. And, of course, I'll be cheering hard for Mickelson to fail, like every slam. It's about time for Hefty to be in contention, and blow it all with his famous short-putt misses.
Plus, they keep fucking with the Augusta course, to where it's losing its fun. No, I'm not one of the old fogies who thinks all courses should stay the way they are... you absolutely must add length to some of these holes. But, it's being done way too much here. They're adding even more length to the 7th, which was one of my favorite short holes, with it's fun green that already gave players a bunch of trouble. Now, it's just another long par 4. And the 4th is just silly now... along with 10 and 11. Adding length was necessary to some of these holes... but, now it's to the detriment of making the tournament exciting. 15, maybe 20 players have any shot of being competitive in the Masters because you absolutely need massive length to be close. And that sucks. Augusta doesn't need this shit. Nothing was worse than Bethpage in 2002... where length was the end-all, be-all.
Besides, the Snobby Racist Masters won't beat the women's tourney last week in Mission Hills. Damn, that was one of the best endings ever. I felt stupid for downloading the final round of a golf tourney, but that was worth it. Karrie Webb holing out on the 18th, little cutie Ochoa with a super clutch eagle after sucking all of Sunday, and Michelle Wie blowing it again. And uber-hottie Natalie Gulbis in contention. Money. That's what women's golf needs to be watchable. Only thing missing was fellow hottie Cristie Kerr, and her getting a temper tantrum. I'm getting worried about Michelle, though. The girl is so insanely talented... yet, she's never won a damn thing outside of the Pub Links, which barely counts. The hype she gets has to build up her confidence (like Sharabitch), but it won't last forever, and soon enough people are going to whine that she never wins. This is the problem with forcing her to play with the men, and such silly things. It could really backfire on her.
In tennis news, the Davis Cup Quarterfinal is this week. Nobody cares on this continent. I'm sort of interested in France-Russia, though. And watching Marat blow. The women's field is awful this week, so bleh. The end.
