Its sad sad sad saaaaaaddd. I really hope Caster finds the strength within her to just keep her chin up and live life to the fullest. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=D9EFD883-19BB-3778-62FDCC20C86D6487&r=1 2009-09-21T00:10:57-08:00 support Caster Semenya website I ran across a website that is posting well wishes for Caster Semenya. Unfortunately, I've read from more than one source that's she's on suicide watch now... It was nice to read well wishes and write something. I just heard about it and there aren't that many people so far...I'd like to think that she might read these and know that there are people sending her love.

I used to be a HUGE WTA fan, particularly of Sabatini, but it's turned into such a joke now, and I can't root for it anymore. They make no bones about trying to sell their alleged "sex appeal" rather than any athletic prowess. I can't stand the way most of them play these days--just dreadful. This sport needs some americans in it. I'm not american myself but I know it desperately needs someone like Capriati in it. Successful, athletic girls from somewhere other than eastern europe.Here's some video of how tennis should be played with a particularly spectacular point at 3:48.

My team, the Pittsburgh Penguins are taking on the Detroit Red Wings in game 7 on friday night. i am so nervous...the red wings beat the pens last year in the finals. GO PENS! http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=D2CCEEC3-19BB-3778-605B6D946CE236D9&r=5 2009-06-12T04:49:54-08:00 Hockey playoffs ABC on Friday renewed veteran medical comedy "[URL=http://www.dvdprostore.com]Scrubs 1-7 [/URL]" for a ninth season. Star Zach Braff is set to come back for six episodes to transition the show to its new set-up showcasing a mix of original cast members and some of the interns introduced this past season, its first on ABC after a seven-year run on NBC. It is understood that Sarah Chalke has been approached with a similar deal, but it's not clear if she will be rejoining the series. (Chalke has a recurring role on another comedy, CBS' "How I Met Your Mother.") Donald Faison, John C. McGinley and Neil Flynn have all closed deals to continue as regulars if their pilots are not picked up. Faison and Flynn co-star in hot ABC pilots, "The Law," which is already unofficially staffing, and "The Middle," respectively. McGinley is on CBS' drama pilot "Back." Meanwhile, Judy Reyes has not been approached for a deal but may appear as a guest star. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=5D6015CB-19BB-3778-601EA8965A1EA800&r=6 2009-05-20T09:35:26-08:00 ABC renews new-look "Scrubs" for ninth season "[url=http://www.dvdprostore.com]Ghost Whisperer 1-4[/url]" stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy are spending their summer hiatus together on the set of an indie drama currently shooting in Philadelphia. "Cafe" is set at a coffee shop where Hewitt's character works. Alexa Vega, who appeared on an episode of "[url=http://www.dvdprostore.com]Ghost Whisperer 1-4[/url]," is also in the cast. Marc Erlbaum is directing from his own script. Hewitt most recently appeared onscreen in the "Garfield" feature and its sequel. Kennedy recently starred in "Extreme Movie" and "Kickin' It Old Skool." http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=5D5E4323-19BB-3778-609BC2A69A0A27DA&r=7 2009-05-20T09:33:27-08:00 "Ghost Whisperer" stars reunite at "Cafe" I don't mine the outfits, since some of the girls are really good looking, it's their business what they like, or have to wear. If the court fashion wouldn't change, they would still play in petticoats under their looong skirts. But I prefer modest, mostly white outfits. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=0F989643-19BB-3778-607E38BA113231D0&r=8 2009-05-05T07:06:46-08:00 Tennis Jubilee Yes I couldn't agree more... Where's the finesse in the game? ...it takes skill and is a heck of a lot more interesting to watch. The chicks back in the day (lol, okay only a few years back)...now they had more going on than just rocketing the ball at each other. As for outfits....that's awesome lol... I do NOT know whether they are dressed for the bar or a match sometimes! Right now in Miami, you'd think it's Hollywood. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=4F09506E-19BB-3778-60E3D3EDC22B9CF1&r=9 2009-03-28T21:43:11-08:00 Tennis I love Amelie! Sharapova is hot, but to spotty. I miss those times when mind and flair was main weapon on the court, now we have more muscles machines who try to kill her opponent with a ball. I miss Steffi and both Martinas. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=38DD5CAD-19BB-3778-60BC1D3324B636A9&r=10 2009-03-24T14:23:32-08:00 Tennis I just started following tennis... So glad Amelie won GDF Suez. She really needed a big win after all she's been through with injuries, etc. I'll be watching the WTA but especially her closely this year cause I think she might be getting ready to retire. :roll: http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=CA7EE423-19BB-3778-60499737F1E74D43&r=11 2009-03-03T04:02:07-08:00 Tennis I'm with ya on that one...I want Serena and Nadal to win it as well...although I can't remember the one man's name (begins with an M i think) but I enjoy watching him. I'm sad that Amelie is gone too, she's one of my favs. But I definately think Serena will have to step it up a notch if she's going to advance further. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=157ECCDA-19BB-3778-605F89443893886E&r=12 2009-01-27T00:30:45-08:00 Tennis To me the Aussie Open is the start of the tennis season. I do like all sports though I am a lil sad football is almost over. With that said, bring on tennis and around the corner comes nascar and baseball. Upsets abound on the mens and ladies sides, not thrilled James Blake lost, on the other side, Jankovic gone makes me happy, sad about Venus and Amelie. My picks are Serena and Nadal. What are yours? http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=1393E493-19BB-3778-60B3B435022A7F0D&r=13 2009-01-26T15:34:33-08:00 Tennis Any fellow lesbian tennis players out there? Come on...we all know you exist! If so you should look me up! :D P.S.> Any thoughts on the current standings in the Australian Open? Surprises? Favorites? http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=0737463A-19BB-3778-60E29DC95138498E&r=14 2009-01-24T05:57:56-08:00 Tennis How the world has changed, for the good and the bad. I dont think the punishment fit the crime although for celebrities it never does. With the idea that our animals are our children, our babies etc., does the punishment fit the crime? I dont think he deserves another chance in the NFL. What kind of message does that send to the children who look at athletes as role models? He needs to get a job (if he learned anything in college) and if he sincerly regrets what he did then prove it to his cummunity. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=BA2ED414-19BB-3778-6071BB8BF6FE06B2&r=15 2008-11-20T13:55:10-08:00 QB Vick release: Does he deserve a second chance? [quote="shewiredcouchcoach"]unfortunately a slap on the hand fine makes everything OK because they are sports superstars.[/quote] Indeed shewiredcouchcoach.....Sports superstars, movie/music celebrities, high profile politicians, or just people that are filthy rich seem to get a slap on the hand for a ton of offenses that the average joe or jane with meager finances might get serious jail time. For Vick even though he is rich (not anymore though or at least that's what he says) I seriously think that because he is Black that too had a lot to do with his punishment. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=A2D1A086-19BB-3778-607A1CEB7B614E8D&r=16 2008-11-16T01:02:06-08:00 QB Vick release: Does he deserve a second chance? He's been punished quite a bit, right fully so. Once he's served his time I believe he deserves a second chance. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=A0A04C82-19BB-3778-6058AE4A453D7E5E&r=17 2008-11-15T14:48:59-08:00 QB Vick release: Does he deserve a second chance? That documentary sounds very interesting... I agree that he has served his time and indeed should get a second chance. It's hard, though, as an animal lover, to wish him a great career after what he did. The NFL and other male sports is full of guys breaking the law and/or having violent tendencies. Be it steroids, fame,or just plain "assh*le factor" I can't help thinking that aggression and violence is a widespread problem on many levels and that Vick just got super attention because it was animals. The news is full of guys with charges being brought against them, and unfortunately a slap on the hand fine makes everything OK because they are sports superstars. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=877B129D-19BB-3778-6099BD6C654CAB3F&r=18 2008-11-10T17:37:49-08:00 QB Vick release: Does he deserve a second chance? Once he has served his time, yeah give him another shot in the NFL. I have 3 dogs, 1 of the dogs is a American Pit Bull, what he did was wrong on so many levels. I was watching a documentary on HBO called "Dealing Dogs": [i]Class B dealers operate under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and are required by law to treat animals humanely. They are also required to purchase animals only when sellers have all appropriate documentation. Apparently, some dealers ignore these requirements while also purchasing animals that may be strays or may have been stolen directly from owners' yards. Four years in the making, DEALING DOGS follows the undercover investigation of Martin Creek Kennel by the animal rights group Last Chance for Animals. A young man who goes by the name of "Pete" in the film wore a hidden camera while he worked a low- level job hosing kennels at the dog dealer. Over the course of six months, Pete secretly filmed activities at Martin Creek Kennel, including the beating and shooting of dogs, and recorded footage of animals that were left to languish in their kennels and suffered from malnourishment, life-threatening disease and injury, among other abuses. Dog corpses are shown piled up on the property and in trenches after being butchered for their organs. C.C. Baird and his family owned and operated Martin Creek Kennel, one of the largest Class B dealers in the United States, until Last Chance provided the results of their undercover investigation to federal authorities, who closed the facility in 2005 [/i] CC Baird was sentenced however he only received probation, lost his land & paid restitution. What this man did was far more massive than what Vick did however Vick is in jail. Sorry for this being long as hell (no cliff notes).... http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=84A36EA7-19BB-3778-60D332B032DB9760&r=19 2008-11-10T04:23:02-08:00 QB Vick release: Does he deserve a second chance? Thanks for the nod, Tracy...I love to keep a game interesting, whether it's on the field or in my head! http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=2A5AD66A-19BB-3778-6078DD3566B14167&r=20 2008-10-23T15:37:55-08:00 sports writer will do anything for WS tickets
