  • WEEKZERO 1St Quarter
    WEEKZERO (When Evan Easily Kindles Zeal for Educational Recreation Opportunities) College Football Beginning of 2010 Season through Beginning of 2021 Season 1st Quarter by Evan Knox <This page left blank to help any players who may be reading these questions to themselves> 1. This player’s running style is, as described by @petebeatty on twitter and quoted on Grantland, similar to a “haunted downhill shopping cart”. This player once pulverized a hospitalized child in the NCAA football video game, winning by either 56 or 63 points (depending on reports) while using his own character to run for over 200 yards and pass for almost 400 yards. This player’s final year in college was wildly inconsistent, including a 4 of 9 passing performance with 2 interceptions vs. Northern Illinois and being benched before his team lost a spot in the conference title game on a Michael Geiger field goal. This player stated that a B on a sociology test led to his most famous saying. This player’s first start was a 59-0 win over Wisconsin, which like the following two games of the season was buoyed by a 200+ yard rushing, multi-touchdown game from Ezekiel Elliott. For 10 points, name this Ohio State quarterback that “ain’t come to play SCHOOL”. Answer: Cardale Jones (+1 moral bonus point for pronouncing his name like Gus Johnson would) <Players> 2. The last FBS game at this stadium was a 13-7 win by Coastal Carolina, in which the home team’s only touchdown was thrown by the head coach’s son, Mason.

    News Release 26 November 2018 DJOKOVIC, NADAL, FEDERER IN TOP 3 YEAR-END ATP RANKINGS FOR RECORD 7TH TIME, FIRST TIME SINCE 2014 PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA — The ATP World Tour today published the 2018 year-end ATP Rankings on ATPWorldTour.com after an exciting season of milestones and breakthroughs. The trio of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer finished in the Top 3 ATP Rankings for the seventh time (2007-11, 2014, 2018), the first since 2014. All three players ranked No. 1 at one stage during the year and it was the first time all three ranked No. 1 during the same season. There were five changes in the year-end Top 10 from the previous season for the second year in a row, including first-timers No. 6 Kevin Anderson and No. 10 John Isner, both former U.S. collegiate standouts. The last time at least two former college players finished in the Top 10 was in 1989 when John McEnroe, Brad Gilbert and Jay Berger accomplished the feat. Other players returning to the Top 10 were World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who was No. 12 at the end of 2017, No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro, who equaled his year- end best from 2013, the last time he was in the Top 10, and No. 9 Kei Nishikori, who jumped from No. 22 last year. For the first time in ATP Rankings history (since 1973), players from five different regions of the world were represented in the Top 10. Six players from Europe and one each from Africa, Asia, North and South America comprised the Top 10.

  • Than 5000 Tennis Lovers Are Seated to the Ceiling of the Royal Albert
    At capacity: More than 5,000 tennis lovers are seated to the ceiling of the Royal Albert Hall Persian prince: Mansour Bahrami Court charmer: Tim Henman SPORT MIND Games The Royal Albert Hall has cleared the stage of musicians and scientists for a tournament of unprecedented sporting spectacle. GEMMA TAYLOR speaks with the stars of this year’s Statoil Masters Tennis to unravel the mysteries of the tennis player psyche THE CENTRAL ATRIUM OF the Royal Albert Hall was originally built by Prince Albert to promote the understanding of cultural concerts and exhibitions and this winter, it’s being transformed into Lapland’s answer to Wimbledon. World champions such as national treasure Tim Henman, the famously volatile seven-time Grand Slam Champion John McEnroe, Pat Cash, Goran Ivanisevic, Carlos Moyá, Mark Philippoussis, Mats Wilander and trick-shot maestro Mansour Bahrami will be among those battling it out at this official ATP Champions Tour finale. As one of the most intimate and intense tennis courts in the world, only those well-versed in the stresses of the game will survive. First up, representing France in the Paris corner is Henri Leconte. Off-court bad-boy Henri brought a roguish cheekiness to the tennis industry in Dream team: Mark Philippoussis the 80s that he says has now been replaced with steely (left) and Pat Cash professionalism. “What makes this tournament so fun is that you can be a real personality. There’s less pressure and the stakes aren’t so high. Tennis today is harder, faster, and the entourage is huge. I had one coach.

February 12, 2016 Contact: Lisa Franson, Cell: (954) 290-1326, [email protected] RUBIN RECEIVES WILD CARD INTO DELRAY BEACH MAIN DRAW Becomes Second American Teen To Play In Main Draw DELRAY BEACH, FLA: The Delray Beach Open has awarded its third and final main draw wild card to American teenager Noah Rubin, who will be playing in his third career ATP event. Rubin, from Long Island, NY, joins fellow American teen Taylor Fritz and former world No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro in securing the DBO's three wild cards. Rubin played in the Delray Beach qualifying tournament a year ago, reaching the second round. The 19-year-old Rubin scored his biggest career win in January, beating world No. 18 Benoit Paire in the first round of the Australian Open. He also picked up a number of ATP points with a 2015 Challenger win in Charlottesville, Va. shortly after turning pro.
