I can’t watch it ; I have a pulse. watching grass grow is faster paced to me.. even the short skirts don’t hold my attention very long…..

I too cant be bothered with tennis. But some folks had it on in the lounge after the US world cup match was over. It was a Wimbledon match between a Frenchman and an American that just went on for about 8 hours. I got sucked into watching the two of them duke it out both clearly exhausted. Kind of like watching a movie you think sucks but you have to watch it til the end just because you've invested time and perhaps a few bucks to see. After about 8 hours the Frenchman decided it was getting too dark and requested the match be suspended and resumed today.

I think i'll just look up who one a bit later. Can't imagine its as exciting without the same circumstances. I for one thought they should have let a famished Rottweiler out onto the court to spice it up a bit and speed things along.

No offense, but tennis is extremely boring to me. I can't even get very interested in the World Cup, especially with those stupid horns blowing the whole time :roll: .

College Football is only seventy some days away. Now that is entertaining (to me), I can't wait.

11 hours and five minutes: 70 games to 68 in the final set to Isner over Mahut.

It passed the time.

I hope I'll never be bored enough to watch such an event.
