Yep, she’s out, marking the first time a top seed gets eliminated this quick for some time.

The 2008 United States Open Tennis Championships just got interesting after no.1 seed Ana Ivanovic was eliminated after the second round. You read it, that’s one less cute pair of tits and ass in the last Grand Slam of the tennis calendar. Mourn with me.

In what has been one of the biggest upsets in tennis history, no.1 seed Ana Ivanovic lost 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, to virtual unknown 188th-ranked Julie Coin. You just know after coming up with a shocking upset against the top woman player in the game today, Coin will be a virtual unknown no more.

Julie Coin was more surprised than the tennis fans watching the match, screaming her lungs out when Ivanovic’s last shot sailed out of bounds to give her the unbelievable second round win. She hit an extra ball high into the stands, hopping like a five-year-old on Christmas morning.

Ivanovic on the other hand, left the court as quick as she can, obviously disgusted of what just happened. ‘’If you would ask if I’m playing like a No.1, no,'’ Ivanovic said. ‘’Obviously, it was very hard.'’

Ivanovic was already struggling back in the first round after coming back with an injured thumb. She knew it will only get harder as she go deeper…

He has to, that is if he wants to stay at No.1 as long as possible.

Rafael Nadal, after beating Roger Federer TWICE in a Grand Slam tournament this year, has become the new world No.1, taking along with him the no.1 seed in the last Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, the 2008 United States Open Tennis Championships.

Also an Olympic gold medalist in the men’s singles in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Rafael Nadal will now deal with the pressure of having one huge target on his head.

After all, that’s what being on top of the food chain is all about in sports.

For some reason, Rafael Nadal has never gone pass the quarterfinals in the U.S. Open. Must have something to do with the way he struggles on tournaments not played on clay surfaces.

Now that he has been able to overcome that after beating Roger Federer on grass, that being this year’s Wimbledon, Rafa is on the verge of proving to everybody that he’s no longer just the master of clay.

He likes his chances of winning another Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open and I don’t blame him.

‘’When you are playing well you feel comfortable on all courts. In…'’

Hopefully, he’ll stay the hell away from the probable list this time.

Because the way he tends to stay on that list always makes his fantasy owners skip a heartbeat. And oh yeah, Brady will play for the Patriots to start the 2008-09 NFL football season after suffering another foot injury which he claims is entirely different from the one he got before Super Bowl XLII.

Oh yeah, in case you forgot, Tom Brady was playing with an injured foot then when his then undefeated New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants at the Super Bowl.

As of press time, Brady claims he’s feeling great and when his Patriots play the New York Giants for their last exhibition game of the preseason on Thursday, you can bet your ass Brady would want to have a part of it.

‘’I'm hoping I’m always out there,'’ Tom Brady said, referring to the preseason games he missed because of the injury, ‘’and if I don’t play, I’ll be ready for Kansas City.'’

The Patriots are scheduled to play the Kansas City Chiefs when they begin their 2008 campaign at Foxboro. Thankfully, the Chiefs are in disarray this season and I’m not expecting Brady to require that much effort from his injured foot to beat those guys.

How bad does New England need Brady? The Patriots are at a dismal 0-3 in the…

And probably how hard will he knock the duck fetus off Pacquiao’s irritating mustache as well.

You read it, it’s that time of the year when yours truly will again hope for a ‘’Manny Pacquiao‘’ retirement, praying for a boxing pro to finally put an end to this godforsaken joke that we all know has gone way waaay too far already.

On Thursday, the ‘’Golden Boy'’ Oscar De La Hoya will officially announce his scheduled bout with the third world moron on December 6. If De La Hoya pulls off a win over Pacman, that will be an early Christmas gift for people like me who loves ‘’real tactical boxing.'’

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum still refuses to confirm what could be the biggest ass-kicking of a third world moron of the century. What he did told everybody is De La Hoya making a big announcement about who’s going to be his next opponent although we all know now that it’s going to be Pacquiao. Bob Arum, for some reason, is still promoting this third world joke from God knows where.

‘’We’ll know who is he is fighting tomorrow,'’ Bob Arum said from…

We are only days away from football season people.

The 2008 NCAA college football season begins on August 28, Thursday, as the brand new college football year kicks off with a massive 14-game schedule. Yep, it has been a while since we had football and the NCAA is kicking it off with a bang.

There are three exciting games that you should not miss next week, beginning with the 23rd seed Wake Forest Demon Deacons visiting the Baylor Bears to mark the start of this year’s wars on the college gridiron.

Last season proved that the 2006 success the Wake Forest Demon Deacons put together was no fluke and that the program will continue to be a contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Sure, the success was not as substantial but still, with the Demon Deacons putting together a nine-win season, they were able to hang in there atop the Atlantic division race.

With a host of defensive players returning and a majority of the skill players on offense, head coach Jim Grobe will look to take the next big step this year. ‘’We’ve been in the position before where we’ve come into August without a very good feel about our starters,'’ coach Jim…

He was once unbeatable.

But after losing in the last two Grand Slam finals in tennis, Federer found himself no longer the man to beat. The 2008 U.S. Open Championships is finally here and Federer will definitely look for redemption BIG TIME.

Of course, this is probably the perfect time to score a win over Roger Federer too. After dominating the tennis courts for all these years, father time may have finally caught up with the former world no.1.

For a guy who was once seen as the man to surpass the record set by Pete Sampras of 14 major titles, watching him lose two straight Grand Slam final matches was unthinkable.

He was dominating the sport for FOUR FREAKIN’ YEARS people, that includes winning three Grand Slams in three of the four previous years, but after he relinquished his world no.1 spot to clay court king Rafael Nadal, have we seen the last of Federer’s glory days?

Federer and Nadal have been going at it for years with Federer winning everything other than that one single tournament on clay. When Nadal finally beat Federer for a Grand Slam OTHER than clay, that being the 2008 Wimbledon Championships a few months ago…

Lost. That’s for sure.

After all, any dude from Wisconsin will feel lost in a city like New York City. But since Brett Favre will start to salvage what’s left of his NFL career playing for the city that never sleeps in the coming 2008-09 NFL football season, this is probably the first and last time we’ll make fun of him.

Because hey, we like Brett Favre and you can bet your ass we’ll love to see the guy succeed on his latest venture. Heck, as long as this dude suits up, it doesn’t matter anymore if he’s 50 or 60 and plays like a jackass, he’s one of the best athletes of our time and just like any legend of the game, we want his show to move on as long as it can.

And while the Green Bay Packers look like they have finally moved on since trading away the biggest star of their franchise to New York, it’s still uncertain what did the Jets actually got from arguably the biggest deal of the offseason.

The New York Jets need a solid effort from the quarterback position and by landing Brett Favre, they’re hoping to have just that. But is Favre ready? Can he still overcome father time?

One guy in the Jets roster rooting for Favre to succeed is his teammate from Green Bay, New York Jets tight end Bubba Franks. Franks is more than happy to reunite with Favre in New York. He knows what no.4 can do and he is looking forward to catch some footballs from that…

It’s about time.

With only a few more days before the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season explodes on your face, the Baltimore Ravens are still contemplating on when will they actually let the future arrive.

Of course, I’m referring to Troy Smith, the young quarterback who won a Heisman and yet, didn’t see that many minutes last season, playing third string in the Ravens quarterback depth chart.

But after last year’s starter Kyle Boller committed a team-high three turnovers in two preseason games, the Baltimore Ravens started looking for a positive change and as of press time, they’re looking at Smith to give them just that.

This Saturday, the Heisman trophy winner will be put to the test against the St. Louis Rams in what would be Baltimore’s third preseason game. I’m really hoping Smith does good because being a third string Heisman trophy winning quarterback is just not fair.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh claims he hasn’t made up his mind on who will he start at quarterback when they begin their campaign for Super Bowl XLIII at Tampa, Florida. This Saturday’s preseason game might just influence his…

Hopefully, the dude will be worth every penny.

You read it, Steven Jackson just signed a new contract with the St. Louis Rams as they prepare to get a winning year for a change in the 2008-09 NFL football season.

In case you didn’t know, Steven Jackson was holding out on his team, asking for a contract extension which expires in the coming season. The explosive running back wasn’t attending his team’s practices because of it while his team continued to fine him for it.

Now that the St. Louis Rams finally found a way to keep their franchise back, the focus shifts back to the only thing that matters in the NFL, winning. And after last season’s horrendous campaign, the Rams are hoping that Jackson stays the hell out of early season injuries this time. Because hey, they’re paying him good money to play on the field and not sit on his couch nursing an injury right?

For what it’s worth, his head coach is more than happy to see his prized running back, back on the field practicing. The Rams are still a long way from being a legitimate title contender but since their division in the NFC West is still one of the worst divisions in NFL football, having Jackson back will sure make things easier for these guys.

‘’It was great to see him,'’ St. Louis Rams head coach Scott Linehan said. ‘’There’s no upside to being adversarial in these kind of deals. You’ve just got to stay…'’

And he wants to do that WITHOUT winning this year’s title.

WTF?!? My sentiments exactly. We all know that his current team, Renault, this 2008 F1 season can’t compete with the Ferraris and the McLarens. Alonso, a double world champion in Formula One, has fallen from No.1 the last few years to eight place as far as this year’s drivers championship standings is concerned.

However, being the competitor that Fernando Alonso is, he believes he still can prove that he is the best without winning the championship. How in the hell can this sick fuck do that? Performing better than the Renault car that he’s driving.

‘’I'll keep fighting for a podium or even a victory this year because that will prove that I’m still here,'’ Fernando Alonso said.

‘’I want to prove to everybody that I’m still the best so I need a super performance to do that, which means a podium or a win.'’

‘’And I’ll be trying to do it in the second part of the season.'’

At this point of the season, Lewis Hamilton is still leading the drivers championship with 62 points. Now the No.1 guy in…
