Favorite character was Berlin because of how damn intriguing he was. Helsinki is fantastic even though he isn't one of the 'major' players. They are all fantastic, although like @El Profesor, I hate Arturito. Rio, Nairobi, Denver are all fucking fantastic and great in their own, special way. The new characters in S3 are great as well.

Just caught up with watching all of Series 3 that's out right now. Fucking unreal how good this show is....I'm almost upset that I'm finished with it until the next episode is out.

Ha - no. But I wake up around 5am every morning, and I know these guys don't, so I will have a solid 3 hours each morning for a run, breakfast and reading.

Finally starting this mammoth of a book, as I leave tomorrow for a Bachelor's Party in New Orleans for 4 days.

Massive news if Lyon can pull it off.

Missed it, actually. Had the city championships today, in which my team won! But it lasted from 8am until 1pm, which was easily during all of the times of the match. Sucks Fed lost...But sounds like it was one of the greatest matches ever.

Ha- what some shady shit that is. I've never heard of Rich Energy.

There is a point that if you finish behind Williams...you do need some kind of repercussion.

What are your plans if you sell Thauvin & Payet?

If true - Marseille would be crushed, he seems like their backbone and their best player. No doubt he has a very punchable face, but he's the best talent on that team.

First preseason match is in less than 2 weeks, as Lyon host Servette FC. The rest of the preseason schedule is as follows: JULY 13/07 - Servette FC (Home) 20/07 - Genoa (Home) 28/07 - Arsenal (Away; Emirates Cup) 31/07 - Liverpool (Home) AUGUST 03/08 - Bournemouth (Away)

Yikes - that's really bad.

How is it up to Pirelli to make racing 'more exciting'?

From what I've heard, this is the worst attended Women's World Cup since the early 90's. Outside of France and US, there have been no sell outs. Outside of France, US, Germany, and England, there have been no fans. My father-in-law is in France for this month following the U.S., and he says outside of the fan support for us, you'd hardly recognize a major sporting event was taking place.

Maybe that's how they really found out about Valladolid.

And another one!

Yeah - they are completely different styles. Fed is amazing because he glids on the court. Rafa amazes me because he looks more athletic and really gives all of him to each match.

Yeah - I play 3-4 times a week. We have a neighborhood league (Doubles), and I play in a city league with my Father-in-Law (Doubles), and then in a city Singles League. Usually try to get a practice in at least once a week. Playing on clay is soooooo different. We have 2 clay courts in my neighborhood (and 18 Composite surfaces), and I enjoy playing on clay, but it definitely is MUCH harder unless it suits your game. I'd do just about anything possible to be able to pay Nadal in a set on clay. No way I'd win a point, but I would just love to see him across the court.

Haha - I love the FO. Do you play Tennis? Have you played on clay before?

I didn't hear that commentary. Thiem is a class act. Like I was telling @RandoEFC - I hope he wins a Major while the big 3 are still playing, but just not the French Open against Nadal. I also wouldn't want him beating Fed at Wimbledon. Rafa up 3-0 now.

Rafa breaks Thiem to go up 2-0 in the 3rd set. It's likely over, now.

25 minute set. God I love Rafa.

Thiem might coast the rest of this set and try to save some energy for the next set.

He's played 4 days in a row, finally won a set over Nadal. The thing about Fed and Rafa are, when they lose a set in a Final, they still have another gear.

Rafa about to go up a double break anyways.
