re: Federer vs. Nadal

[quote]I doubt it. The past his prime excuse probably would have come out[/quote]
Did anyone catch the segment, during the 2nd set I believe, where the conversation of GOAT sort of developed? Don't remember who the commentator was, but it was with respect to Fed and Sampras - that when the two met...

So, I'm now officially an expert on the abbreviated (but damn tasty) menu at Five Guys - the new burger joint that B.R. has been deserving for quite some time. After having deliberated on this knowledge, I've drafted a few text-book plays (small playbook right now, but I'll add plays as they come t...

re: Nadal is no doubt the best ever.

The debate is over. Fed is the man and Rafa knows it.
"During Roland Garros 2010, Nadal answered strikingly when a journalist mentioned the statistic in a question to Nadal. Nadal said "I think this person don't know nothing about tennis." The journalist asked why, and Nadal told the journalist,...

[quote]Look, in no way shape or form can anyone right now say that Rafa has had a better career than Federer. To argue such would be absurd. However, you can make the (subjective) argument that he's playing the best tennis ever and you can make a predictive argument (which is what I'm suggesting) th...

[quote]broseph, you are missing the point
1. rafa dominates clay and is better on clay than fed. nobody discounts this
2. rafa was not nearly good enough to face fed on hard courts/grass during this era. this hurts rafa's argument
in amazing hypothetical world, they could play an even nu...

Another questin: when did all this Nadal "GOAT" notion pick up steam? I gotta say that it's fairly disgusting, given that nobody dared to say such a thing for Fed when he had only 9 GS. The sentiment always was that until you can dethrone Sampras, you don't get the golden ring (at least not outrig...

[quote]Nadal wasn't a shot in the dark. He was arguably the best teenage tennis player ever and a prodigy that everyone knew about. There's no one like that right now. [/quote]
Way too literal, my friend. What I'm saying is that it doesn't take too long for the next best thing to come along. It i...

[quote]Barring injury is there a chance in hell he doesn't? Does anyone come close to beating him at the French of the Wimbledon? Winning those two the next two years already puts him at 13 and that's assuming he never wins anything after those or anything on hard courts. [/quote]

[quote]Nadal is a better player now than Federer was then.[/quote]
%1,000 not this.
Nadal is, without question, in the conversation as one of the best ever. That said, GOAT is not defined by a short span of years and an abbreviated period of brilliance. In other words, while Rafa has undenia...

re: The Bad Beat Of All Time?
Posted by PokerLawyer on 9/9/10 at 7:12 am
Of course, that's a bad beat, but not the worst ever...by a longshot. K/J got there on the turn. That set of A's was drawing dead to a paired board. What made it hurt was catching the A on the river.
A truly horrific beat is where your hand is ahead the whole way to lose to a one outer. This ...
