I haven't said this in almost a decade (and even then it was because my parents had put it on the TV) but this is a Wimbledon final I may actually watch. Federer has become an absolute buzzsaw, and Nadal is the only man to have stopped him so far. I'm actually interested to watch this.

You tricked me. I thought this would be about the women's side.

Nadal has been the only guy to stop Federer when they play on clay.

Watch Federer take revenge on Captain Capri Pants.

Nadal is the new Carlos Moya. Some guys are just clay players.

Well, in Nadal's defense, he did make the final. But yes, i'm putting my money on Federer annihilating him.

Bonus points to RatBoy for the Batman Beyond reference.

Sure, he's a good player, but he's only a stud on clay.

And right now, with Roddick falling harder than Don Majkowski, there's hardly anyone else in men's tennis at the top.

Oh bonus freaking points. You manage to work in a Errict Rhett reference and you'll be my hero.

Errict Rhett ran for over 1000 yards in TWO seasons.

I prefer the true one-season wonders of Barry Foster and Marion Butts.

And Reggie Cobb, and Harvey Williams, and... Erric Pegram (that's like the BFG of obscure early '90s running backs - two r's in Erric!)

How great the NFL was, back when Chris Warren was king of the gridiron:

Men play tennis?

I swear, I honestly was thinking of saying "Barry Foster" first.

Buzzsaw Wins.

Not a bad match, but still all Federer.

Have you taken a good look at Mauresmo? When she plays, it is the men's side.

And here I thought my wife and I were the only people who liked that show. The fan base is twice as big as I thought!

I don't want to get into an argument over her level of feminity, but I did look past the face when she played in reaching my conclusion on her manliness. We must have different standards for gauging femininity.
