U.S.Open Insanity

It was a big football weekend so you can be forgiven if you didn't pay one iota of attention to the U.S. Open between #1 vs. #2 in College Footbal and opening day in the NFL. But you missed a hell of a lot of weirdness. Maria Sharapova, 6'3" straight out of the taffy puller, won the Woman's Championship Saturday night. The nineteen year-old celebrated like a nineteen year-old, jumping up and down like the ice cream truck had just shown up and after exchanging awkward condolences with the defeated innocently naively bolted for the stands with ushers and security guards chasing. She was looking for her father and got lost but after 6 or 7 wrong turns found him. But things took a morbid and gothic turn once she returned to the court.



The less said about that, the better.

Roger Federer predictably won the Men's Championship Sunday afternoon. For those not paying attention, and that would be all of you, he's teh Tiger Woods of tennis. He might be the best ever. The most shocking thing that happened in the match was Andy Roddick taking a set. But this year winning the U.S. Open has seemed to spawn madness upon its Champion, and for Roger it was expressed in his demand for a giant breakfast pastry to join his celebration.



Roger loves giant pop-tarts.
