OK ladies. Thoughts on the Abe Lincoln looks for "industrial Britain?" Read more

yeah. and we already know from SI folks that it's really rough. Apparently the beginning of the book reads as if it were written in 2009. Read more

I think all of this is spot-on, both on Simon & Schuster's idiocy here, and their calculation going forward. It's so stupid that they have to hope for people regaining "interest in all the other crap that Paterno did" within a month. That's exactly what they're hoping for, and if they just WAITED (like: even if they… Read more

ha, fair but? this one is pretty on-the-nose. and it's happening all over the magazine industry, to little results. "See? We can maximize our socialization too" Read more

have to admit I'm really surprised they didn't push the pub date back. I understand Simon & Schuster wants sales, but isn't it important to get the Freeh Report in there in a way that doesn't just feel sprayed-on? I can't imagine he'll have time to devote pages and pages to it. This isn't at all like the Jobs Walter… Read more

or the fact that they needed Walsh to bring in Imus (which totally paid off, btw) but yes: hopelessly entangled Read more

so spot on. and considering skip and stephen a. were debating the espys today (??), why stop with lebron/tebow. let them do the election. Read more

sure it does Read more

it really looks like he's packed it in, eh? Read more

cue "breathing problems" discussion on-air. Read more

and three more in the fourth. converts on the second. up a set and a break now.... Fed has blown these opportunities before but it's really feeling like this could be over in 20 minutes. Read more

damn. is this crowd pro-Federer or what? That was an awesome break. His fourth chance of the set I think, right? Read more

mmm. third set of an intense semifinal and Fowler and the brothers McEnroe are talking about birds getting trapped inside the roof and what a windy Wimbledon it's been and how bright it is inside. way to set a scene boys. Read more

ha, yes. and that game just made me woozy. Roger's backhand came *that* close to securing him a break? at least this match finally got its first intense game to slow things down. Read more

two break points for Fed in this set: one sprayed forehand / one miss-hit forehand after nutty rally. that's going to linger, eh? Read more

that is true! but she doesn't have a lot of big grand slam tennis matches under her belt. today (obviously) was the biggest and if she could play through her nerves at 18... that's some evidence that she'll be chill on Saturday Read more

and i always thought that maier was a sensitive Wesleyan kid. sounds like a typical jersey baseball brat. and yes, no wonder, re: yankees fan. Read more

must admit: i'm totally RELIEVED that Fed is going to win. Djoker would have had a walk to the championship. Now at least it might be ... somewhat competitive in the Friday semis? That is, if Roger can get that far. Read more

horribly, frighteningly close. Benneteau was 2 pts from winning (twice). on the changeovers during the tie break it was 3-all and 6-all. Fed is up a break in the fifth, so... Read more

and there's the break. Benneteau is moving pretty good for a guy who was hurt. but yeah, this is quickly headed to: good night nurse Read more
