Friday Escapade (June 25, 2010)

JOKES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "Because of the success of 'Toy Story 3,' Pixar is now rushing ahead with its plans to do a sequel to one of its most popular movies, presented by BP. It's BP presents 'Try Finding Nemo Now.'" – Jay Leno

2)"Tony Hayward (CEO of BP) is on a yacht. Where are the Somali pirates when you need them?" – Jay Leno


QUOTES-OF-THE-WEEK

1) "Always the players think individually, I have to think about the team, it's important. When you speak you have to be careful. I respect Joe Cole. But he is one of the 23 players I have here. – Fabio Capello, England’s coach before the match against Slovenia.

2) “On Wednesday, my voice did get a little dry, but I have drunk plenty today and it feels good. I travel Economy, so seven hours sitting still on court is nothing." –Mohamed Lahyani, the umpire of the longest match in tennis history (pls see below)

A MOMENT-IN-TIME POEM

1) The longest match in tennis history between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut finally ended at Wimbledon yesterday…..after playing for 11 hours and 5 mins, stretching over 3 days. (John Isner won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-3), 70-68 (!!!))


A glance at the scoreboard can’t even begin to tell the whole story

When the match finally ended, the two players had already made tennis history

Eleven hours on court, two tennis players battled and fought like true gladiators

John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have proven they are truly the best competitors
