Hola Amigos:
The Packers played in Southern California on Saturday night, and I did NOT drag my wife to go see them. Why is that you might ask? Because I refuse to pay regular-season ticket prices to watch Brett Favre stand on the sideline for 59 of the game's 60 minutes. Judging by the Packers' line play, Favre was unquestionably safer there, however.
Did get to see the second semifinal of the JP Morgan Chase Championship at The Home Depot Center in Carson on Saturday night. It was my first time seeing Serena Williams in person, and I came away with mixed thoughts. Williams, who has battled injuries most of 2006, appears to have spent a lot of time on anything but conditioning as hers was terrible. As out of shape as she was, she was able to hang in against 16th-seeded Jelana Jankovich because of her other-worldly skill set. Williams' backhand is as powerful and accurate as anyone's I've ever seen, men included. The feeling here is if Williams can limit her distractions, get in shape and stop wasting energy of smashing rackets, she can make a return to the top 10 at time because few, if any, have her ability.
And the THDC as it's known in Southern Cal is an amazing facility across the board. The soccer pitch is first-rate and the stadium tennis court is intimate yet big league. And ... AEG's fireworks display after the Williams-Jankovich match rates as the best at least three members of our group had ever seen.
