a real head to head matchup
Reminds me of the old Big Johnson tennis t-shirt:
it’s in, it’s out, it’s over
Still remember a kid wearing a “Big Johnson Casino” shirt in front of me in 10th grade. “Liquor in the front and poker in the back”.
NTTAWWTT
I don't know what this means. I even tried googling it.
Dammit. By one frickin' minute.
You must not be much of a Seinfeld aficionado, not that there's anything wrong with that....
Thank you both. But I will point out that he added an extra T to the end. :P
P.S. NotADuck, are you any relation to viaduct?
Johnson rises to the occasion
They both played long and hard!
Hilarious irony, this was one MGoBlog ad on this post.
damn, that's no yolk
I don't care how stupid this is, it's still better than talking about recruiting and NIL.
I'll take my American Johnson over any British Peniston.
What weighs more, a British Peniston or a metric shit ton?
Did ESPN have Dick Vitale on the broadcast?
Yes, along with Magic Johnson
Did they cross swords?
Looks like the American had erect groundstrokes all night long.
I heard both players were real Dicks
....and had big heads!
What, no video highlights??? Was looking forward to see the head-to-head competition, blow by blow and stroke by stroke.
.
I scrolled down to see if "stroke" had been used yet...well done. That's all the cleverness I was able to muster. I must say I feel shafted by your eagerness.
Very careful slice shots in this one.
Ok, I'll play this juvenile (i.e. - hilarious) game, too:
- Were they their own ball boys?
- Are either player sponsored by Head?
- Looks like Peniston was pretty soft today
- A big ask for Johnson to go to Round 3 - he's a man, not a machine!
If the match lasted more than 4 hours, I hope they called their doctors.
Looks like a happy ending for Johnson.
Were the forehand or the backhand strokes better?
American men keep rolling along (this is actually a tennis comment, not about the dick joke lol)
Isner, Tiafoe, S. Johnson, Tommy Paul already into the final 32. The bottom half of the Djokovic draw is absolutely wide open- HUGE opportunity for a semi final run.
Brooksby, Nakashima, Cressy v Sock, Giron, Fritz, McDonald still to play their 2nd round matchup.
If there was EVER a year for an American dude to make it to the finals, this would be it, especially on the Nadal half. Nadal is definitely not himself right now.
They probably won’t meet in this tournament, but I bet Sock would clean up against Johnson.
I'm thinking that Johnson goes all the way.
This is probably good insight, but you picked the wrong thread for a serious tennis discussion. (A forgivable boner)
It's nice to see the Americans aren't ejecting prematurely from the tournament.
I've always assumed I had a sufficiently experienced perspective—and a juvenile enough mind—to follow most anything posted on the Blog.
But I guess not. I read this post and couldn't figure out why NotADuck posted this. Had the Brit or the American played for UM? Was there some hidden meaning in Round 2, Court 3? Was it some tennis esoterica?
Fortunately, the experienced—and juvenile—blogosphere is here to school me. Gradually, I got the thrust of the joke.
Looking at the bracket, Tiafoe has an amazing chance to get to the quarterfinals. He goes against the #38 player (Bublik) next, then most likely #58 player (Goffin) after that. Tiafoe is ranked 23.
Poor Isner has a tough draw next two matches - he is screwed.
Johnson and Paul both get a chance to beat #9 Norrie. There is a decent chance one of those could pull off the upset and get to quarters.
Like Tiafoe, Fritz has a REAL good shot at getting to quarters also. He is ranked 11, next match against #51 Molcan, then will have to beat most likely one of the following 4 (#45 Cressy, #103 Sock, #99 Kubler, unranked Novak). There is a great chance that it is American vs. American to get into the quarterfinals. This here is the best bet for an American to get to quarters.
No doubt. If there was ever a time for an American to make a deep run, this is it. Nadal is vulnerable, and there are a ton of American's still left. I'll be sad if Fritz and Cressy meet up; I'm rooting for Cressy- he's my favorite player on tour right now.
Cressy getting destroyed by Sock. Didnt see this coming! Fritz may have a very easy path.
and I thought cock fighting was outlawed!
