I'd like to know why Sexy MaliVai Washington was canned instead of all the dopes ESPN has for tennis. They don't even have a token black replacement. Hrmph.

How do you mistake anyone for Cake. Even if you've never watched tennis. Oh well, at least it's not Fowler. Thinking of it, every studio shmuck brought in for tennis is horrible. Trautwig, Bill Patrick, ummm... everyone.

1. Schiavone beat Bartoli in the third round and...she's confused? 2. In American English (Moron dialect), Schiavone and Bartoli sound similar and...she's confused?
But like...clearly Suzy Kolber doesn't know either of them. Some moron on set gave her this HORRIBLE piece of information, or, if somehow she did come up with this herself, none of the morons on set are correcting her.
The first time...funny. That second time...stroke.

And Fowler has been CALLING matches! I don't think even he'd make that mistake.
Enberg, maybe.

I didn't know Frannie beat Cake here, so she doesn't.
Skee-uh-VO-nay. Bar-TOE-lee. No, that doesn't count since Schiavone is one of those names they force the idiots to say correctly.
I remember Trautwig sticking with Shuh-RAH-puh-vuh. I take back my hate. Unlike assholes like Drysdale that actually know how to say the Russian names, but use the American moron pronunciation anyway. I'm bored.

Yes, they do. At least the studio trio of asshats... Kolber, Darren Cahill and Brad Gilbert.

Is this the same team that didn't know why 11 was Venus' favourite number and spent two days laughing about it?

Post by leelee on Jun 30, 2009 17:55:07 GMT -5
Venus called her line EleVen, which, she explains with a chuckle, is better than 10. On a scale of one to 10 Venus always wants to be an 11. This is a woman who isn't constrained by convention, on the court or off.

No, the number 11 came up for some reason and she said she didn't mind because it was her favourite number, and they were laughing because they thought it was a completely random thing to say, even though its on her dress and everything. I only read about on wtaworld, a year ago, so thats just the impression I got.

Why did I used to hate Cahill and Gilbert? Ok, Brad easily gets annoying with his "cool" shtick, but c'mon insane 2000s Leelee. Cahill is like the only good thing on ESPN.
And Wimbledon is still retarded.
Randomness: I miss the glory days of Timbledon. Because you knew he was never going to win, and all those annoying homers would always end up disappointed. It's not the same with Anduh.

Watching that 40-Love event with all #1s and it has so much potential awkward moments. I hope Justine and Lindsay talk LOL and the listed reasons for who couldn't be here: Vika - twisted her ankle, Kim - pregnant, Venus - injured and Steffi - declined. LMAO!! Foe some reason Bouchard and Keys are also here, Bouchard is a Masha stan, and Keys is St.Kim's sfan. So disappointed in both. Everyone is so awfully dressed! Lindsay is trying to convince anyone that WTA is in a great shape.
