Teniscópio
November 11th, 2010 • Off-Topic
No need to read the post if you’re not into amazing things and-slash-or you don’t speak Portuguese.
Ontem (ou talvez anteontem), um novo site sobre tênis foi lançado, o Teniscópio.
A proposta do Teniscópio é ser um conjunto de blogs, escritos por diferentes autores, com diferentes interesses — jornalistas ou não. O site também conta com um agregador de notícias sobre tênis que leva para sites internacionais e nacionais. A ideia é que em vez de um site com notícias sobre tênis, se tenha um site com opiniões sobre notícias sobre tênis.
O meu blog, ‘Love Game’, está no ar e o meu primeiro post já pode ser lido. Eu, como sempre, devido à falta de criatividade, aceito sugestões de pautas.
Além disso, o Teniscópio tem twitter e facebook, então vamos seguir/curtir, galera.
Kids, don’t buy drugs. Become a tennis commentator and you get them for free!

This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a while. One of ESPN‘s tennis commentators, Mary Carillo, gives spectators a crazy, inspired rant on what happens when you play badminton in your backyard. Spoiler: bad things, apparently! It’s back from the Olympics in Athens in 2004 but maybe you haven’t seen it. I hadn’t.
Now, serioulsy, that looks like a scene out of The Anchorman. Or Sports Night if Casey McCall was on crack.

Getting down with 3P (Porn, Petkorazzi and, uh…)

Play starts in eight hours and I should be getting some sleep but I’m too busy laughing at my own blog. My dorkiness — IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS. I was looking at the recent ‘search terms’ that lead people to Fierce Tennis and I started giggling like a maniac. I believe it’s time for another of these posts.
DUN DUN DUN. *cue to dramatic music* (Also, apparently my readers have an obsession with who’s gay and who isn’t? Colour me surprised. Let me get on with it now.)
Just today, some of the search terms were:
- lesbian sex wta tour
- rezai slut
- almagro shirtless (ED NOTE: ew.)
- verdasco lopez baby
A few more from this past week:
- did justine henin have a baby
- tennis player forget her shorts
- vika azarenka cameltoe
- “elena dementieva” and “crotch”
- wobbly legs porn
- myskina naked free
- andy roddick ass
- allez bitch
ALSO: I sense a theme:
- petkorazzi
- petkovic andrea
- andrea petkovic grunt
- andrea petkovic legs
- petkorazzi
- is andrea petkovic a lesbian (ED NOTE: Yes, she is.*)
- andrea petkovic grunt
- andrea petkovic hot
And here, a Petkorazzi picture because that’s obviously the only thing you guys are interested in:
You guys know she choked, right?
I feel like I should be more selective of what I post. Soon Google will mistake my blog for a porn website. A gay porn website.
*Jk.
A few quick links!
January 18th, 2010 • Agnieszka Radwanska, Ana Ivanovic, Andy Roddick, Off-Topic, Rafael Nadal, WAGs
- Australian Open‘s website in their mobile version. Very good for checking scores when you’re in the movies or simply away from the computer.
- Free AO livestreams: ATDHE.net, FromSport, LiveScoreHunter.
And “news”:
- Andy Roddick‘s wife Brookly Decker in a suit for Elle Magazine. Oh, oh-kay.
- Rafa Nadal om nom nom. I have a feeling he’ll be stripping more to tone down the ridiculousness of his outfit.
- Doesn’t Aga Radwanska clean up nicely? Gracing the cover of magazines and rocking some great hair.
- Ana‘s blogging from Melbourne.
- The Guardian‘s “Australian Open Day 1 in Pictures“.
28-year-old? Amazing how fast time goes by when you’re having fun.
EXCITED??????????????????? (the capslock and multiple question marks say ‘yes’)

LET THE FUN BEGIN! @fiercetennis will be spamming tweeting about the matches live. Whee.



Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
