He's always seemed much more easily led than his brother. Follower.
He was on a CNN round table the other day, too. Friend said he has been giving political commentary for awhile now. I was totally shocked. Wonder who his agent is. Maybe he has long-range plans to transition to news punditry or at least out of sports full-time.

Great. On election night in 2024, I'll be watching CNN. Trump will be announced the winner of Arkansas' presidential election. And Patrick will scream, "Hello!"

^^ I can't stand the Paul brothers, but their popularity is undeniable. So as obnoxious as I'm assuming this is (I have zero plans on watching), this is actually likely to get Nick more fans and a few more eyes on tennis and probably the Netflix show.

I still occasionally watch some wrestling and as obnoxious as Logan is... he is a natural "heel" (ie the one the fans hate) who is willing to do just about anything in matches and just has the whole hated gimmick down perfect. He knows what he's doing.

End of confession :)

I've never even remotely heard of the 'Paul brothers'.
'Popularity' has to be the most overrated element on the planet - especially since the age of the internet.

So you're not concerned about the $15k fine? ;)

She probably took an Emirates Flight to NYC.
In business class (at least) or first class. Man, do I miss those... :cry:

Pegula's Birthday 'Celebration'...

.
First off, nothing wrong with a bag of Doritos on your birthday. Jessica's birthday is only 2 days after mine so I would have gladly shared a bag of Doritos with her to celebrate her 29th b-day and my 18th b-day. :D

I hope once she got back to the states she celebrated with her family and had a great 29th birthday.

Angie Kerber announced the birth of a daughter, on Feb 25th.
Says she has spoken to Vika, Clijsters and Serena on how to come back to the tour, and that she will.
Good for her (both events) :clap: :clap: :clap:

Why the frown? If there is a guy with lots of reasons to smile it is Carlitos.
