Dear DirecTV:

You? Suck, and are thisclose to losing my business. Why am I paying for you? If I wanted to watch Wimbledon on ESPN2, I'd just switch to Dish Network or cable! Once again, I'm forced to turn to online streams to watch the matches I want to watch.

I get that you want to finish showing the US Open golf tournament. But why advertise the Wimbledon mix if you're not going to actually do it? It's called false advertising, and you bet your sorry ass I'll be emailing and calling all sorts of people to complain today.

Like it would be really hard for you to free up a few stations for Wimbledon? Pathetic.

Your service is shitty in general, and the only reason I've got it is for better coverage of the slams. If you're not even offering me that, why am I paying?

I won't be for long.

No love,
Me

Nadal: Might Not Play Wimbledon

Wow. Just saw that Uncle Toni is not optimistic about Rafa defending his Wimbledon title this year.

How huge is THAT? Who thinks Roger will be back to number one by year's end?

I sincerely hope Rafa figures out what's wrong with his knee(s) and takes whatever steps necessary to recover. Missing Wimbledon now is nothing if it will keep him on the court in the long run.

I do question why Toni chose to divulge this info today, though. Why air this out the night before the French Open Final? To imply that Rafa would be there if not for the knee? To rattle Roger's or Soderling's--take your pick which one--confidence?

I'm a sneaky, suspicious bitch, so I'm sure it's nothing so sinister. The timing just seems odd.
