Since we’re knee deep in soccer, a sport that nobody cares about, we might as well talk about some tennis too. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have just had their Wimbeldon match postponed for the second day in a row because of darkness after it continued on for 9 hours and 58 minutes. Yeah, you heard me right, 9 hours and 58 fuckin minutes. For a tennis match. You know how much ice cream Castanza would’ve spilled all over himself during this thing? I played tennis in high school and I don’t think I ever made it through an hour of tennis before I got distracted and started scanning the crowd for slutty milfs. My game usually totally took a nose dive after that. As much as these two guys are complete nobodys it’s still intriguing. It’s kinda like if you were watching El Prez and me battle back and forth with “that’s what she saids” for 10 hours. Straight epic.
Random notes from the match…

Shit is stupid, could you imagine two hockey teams going to bed and coming back the next day to finish it off? Bushleague.
PS – Isner is 6′9″ why is he playing tennis? Dude must’ve not been able to hit a 12 foot jumpshot.
