To some schlep I'd never heard of before named Andy Murray? :?

But that was some fantastic tennis, returning every bomb Nadal could launch and basically wearing Rafa the fuck out.

Hope he's got something left for a well rested Federer. If he plays like he did today in the 4th set, Roger is in trouble.

Murray is no joke and will give Federer all he can handle.

To be fair, this really isn't Nadal's wheelhouse, either. It's an upset, but a mild one.

To be sure.

I kept waiting for him to fold under the pressure, but all he did was keep making shot after fantastic shot.

This 21 year old unknown is a superb athlete and has a hot GF to boot.

Racks are in order.

Hmmm. Around these parts the men were watching Week 1 of the NFL.

The only game on here was Cowboys - Browns, which wasn't very competitive.

Regardless, it's the U.S. Open.

Dallas game was boring. That’s why we switched over and watched Carolina come back to edge San Diego. RACK the NFL Ticket. You can always DVR the tennis.

Perhaps you've heard of this thing called the Sunday Ticket. The Red Zone channel kept me occupied til haftime of the 4 PM games. After that, I bounced manually between the Chargers-Panthers, Cards-9ers and the Cowboys-Browns (UCant had Winslow starting in my JAFFL matchup).

Damn it feels good to have football back.

I see that Federer-Murray is at 5 today...is it going to be on CBS or USA?

Packers-Vikings at 7PM EDT. I'll leave it to you to tell me how the tennis turned out.

I'll be watching the football game too but I'll flip over during the commercial breaks and with NFL games...there's a lot of those.

That's what the DVR is for. I'll start the game at 7PM, pause it for about 30 minutes while I get some stuff done, and then fast forward through the commercials. When I catch up to real time, I pause again and get some more things done. I absolutely refuse to waste my life watching commercials unless it is absolutely unavoidable.

Commercials is when you get up to get another beer.

And take a piss, but not necessarily in that order.

If I had a beer for every commercial break in an NFL game, I'd have polished off a case by the end of the day. My liver likes my method better. Besides, when the Steelers aren't playing, the Red Zone Channel is how I roll.

So does your vagina, Nancy.

Looks like the only way to watch men's final today is over the web...

Perfect, Roger polishes off Murray in straights and I don't miss a single play of Vikings-Packers. RACK Federer on his 13th slam title...one behind Pistol Pete.

Yeah, we had it on one of the sister stations for our CBS affiliate.
