Oh no - not the Aus Open

I guess its that time of year - it just wouldnt be the same if i didnt complain!! So many things get on my nerves where do i start. Every year my biggest peeve is the fact that the games start at 5pm Utah time but they decide not to show games until 7pm and even 9pm on some night. You would think that with 2 ESPN channels they would have plenty of airtime for it but instead they go with a college bball game against 2 unranked teams - which always go beyond the allocated time!! Seriously?? There is only about 1000 college games on each year. They wonder why the state of U.S tennis is so bad....maybe because they cant even manage to get the biggest tennis tournaments on live throught the year.

I cant really complain about Venus or Serena this year as Venus is out and Serena lost to a no name - oh wait, all of womens tennis are no names!! I could go on about many other things that get to me but the other main peeve is the bias of the U.S. commentators. you would think that with the team they have they should get pretty good coverage but all they do is talk up how great the americans are when they clearly are not. Oh and why do they have to try to Americanise all of the terminology.........you can do that with the sports you create people but leave the world games alone - it just makes you sound stupid!! Oh and Pam Shriver......thats all i have to say about that!!
