Keep it coming. It's not even close to getting old.
Why can't I come up with the joke about HIM getting a COLD? The joke is just there...
I don't know... I'd go back to name puns.

Emma Raducanu has tested positive for COVID-19.
In addition to hoping she doesn't develop any serious symptoms, I also hope that she didn't contract it due to careless/irresponsible behaviour.
It's in Serbia, so this definitely tells me nothing. But is the person writing this a journalist? They can't find out if a 30,000 person attendance game had vaccine requirements?
That being said, if he's vaccinated and doing this as a stance, he's even more of an asshole than I previously thought. Serbians as well as many players that look up to him have taken his silence and previous statements as not thinking it's a good idea to get vaccinated, especially for his performance. And I think he 100% knows this and that's the asshole move right there. It would've cost him nothing in this instance to have said, "I know what I've said before about vaccines, but having had covid last year and knowing how deadly the virus has been for millions, I knew it was important to be as safe as possible for myself, my family, and my community, and in particular with the level of international travel I do, this was the best decision to make." Not hard, Novak. No need to always make simple things complicated.

Also, imagine, the horror of telling people you are vaccinated!!!! My god, if people would only know the shame I go through every time I fly into Africa and am asked about my vaccination book and status. I have been submitted, on several occasions, to the humiliation of having to show proof, PROOF!, of my vaccination status for yellow fever, tetanus, Hep A & B, and influenza. Not only that, I have been forced by potential employers to renew such vaccines, and in Bolivia I was forced to undergo my tetanus shot regime, IN PUBLIC!!!
Christ, next thing you know, they may ask him if he has herpes. Or, god forbid, gonorrhea. My god, what this man is being put through is unspeakable!

I'm losing the respect I had for Pospisil based on his continued closeness with Djokovic.

World No.1 Ashleigh Barty maintains the future is bright for Olivia Gadecki despite the emerging Australian teenager skipping the Australian summer because she doesn’t want to get vaccinated for COVID-19.
The Australian Open vaccine mandate is expected to see some tennis stars opting against a trip Down Under but it was revealed this week that 19-year-old Gadecki was among them.
I understand that Gadecki has been described as a "protege" of Barty so this defense is not a surprise. Still, in doing this Gadecki reminds me of the young actress who everyone thought had such a bright future ahead of her after her performance in "Black Panther" but who has walked away from the sequel because she is anit-vax.

Aahhhh... 19 and ranked 237. Yep, that does not sound like a express train to stardom, specially in an era of such parity.
