Or real nurses look like her.

Same thing with baseball BTW. A questionable hit/questionable error will always be scored an error in the middle of a no-hitter bid. It must be a clean hit to break up a no-hitter.

gogogo,

You're calling John McEnroe a celebrity who enters sports? Do you know who John McEnroe is (regardless of what you think of his tantrums)?

And yes, people, rules are "bent" depending on the situation. I play the sports. Nobody calls ticky-tacky fouls at the end of a close basketball…

aintgottimetobl,

More people will most likely remember Derek Jeter for a number of reasons:

1) He plays for the Yankees and a captain (the most storied franchise and arguably the largest fanbase, definitely more than the M's).

2) He's also a future Hall of Famer with HOF stats.

3) He…

pawatan,

Funny that you should mention Nolan Ryan. Here's a good article talking about him:

Also, here's an interesting ESPN article explaining the evolution of the Magic Number 100 pitch count:

Oh, Nolan Ryan was on a pitch count in 1987 and hated it.

BurakuminDes,

But people wouldn't like it. Federer is far from an underdog. It's like rooting for Sampras.

I'm sure the US can certainly pay back its debt in 30 years - if there is intent to pay it back in 30 years. But like I said, stuffs happen plus there's no incentive, and the US can afford to keep putting it off. Maybe in 300 years, if…

Molenir,

Paying interest ain't paying debts back. (Although technically, it could get to a point that total interest payments exceed the original debt, then that just becomes a stupid situation.)

China is already getting nervous about buying even more US Treasury bonds that they already have because, to them it…

The lineswoman was wrong to call a ticky-tacky foot-fault at a climactic part of the match. It's like calling a ticky-tacky foul in basketball at a last-second buzzer shot. Officials shouldn't decide the outcome of a match.

However, what Serena did was even more wrong. Her first tirade was bad…
