The world is coming to an end.

Baylor won the Big 12 football conference. Beating the still proud, but now impotent Texas Longhorns 30-10 in the season finale. Baylor, who could not even win a quarter most seasons prior to this year is now a conference champion. Mack Brown put on a pretty face, and said that he was resigning. Proving that nothing last forever, and every dog will have its day. Kind of similar to the shit happening in America, I guess.
Swiss beats #1, Djokovic in Australian Open
No, it's not Roger Federer. It's the other Swiss, Stanislas Wawarinka who came out ahead in a pulsating 5 set marathon, the last set going 9-7. Wawainka has been in the top 20 for quite a few years, rising to a high of #8 in 2013. But of course, he has always been in Federer's shadow. 2013 saw him showing glimpses of breaking into tennis top elite group, he lost twice to Djokovic in 5 setters in Australia and US Opens. And now, the breakthrough and the spotlight. Very possible, a Federer / Wawrinka Australian Open. The Swiss will be in orgasmic tennis heaven.
Wawarinka's rise surprise me but nevertheless, very welcoming. A few years ago, I watched him at the French Open from very close proximity in one of the side courts at Roland Garros. His power is immense, the sound of ball impacting was scary. I thought he was going to break a racquet or the ball. He does not have the elegance and shot artistry of Federer. Wawarinka is just pure industrial strength, his one handed backhand is his signature shot.
Now that Federer is in a slow decline, I think he and Wawarinka will make an effort to lead Switzerland to their first ever Davis Cup. Together, they won the doubles at the Beijing Olympics. So as a team, they should be the favorites for the Davis Cup the next few years.

I was grade 5, worried about my future! I was already failing arithmetics, something was missing from my DNA. Playing sports was generally frowned upon if not outright prohibited. But I was reading non-stop, so was walking around in dreamland. Yet to come, puberty and masturbation.
I think some of you starting sex around 7?

One of the America's storied quaterback icons, Dan Marino sues the NFL for head injuries.
Within the realm of American capitalism, there are many facets to this controversy. Greedy owners, ungrateful players, integrity, personal choices & responsibilities, safety and working conditions, health Insurance, Obama care. Take your pick.
Change, as they say, is a-coming.
