He's still making misery in the veterans tour Ctaulbee. You should watch it sometime.

His ranking isn't the best now since some of the younger generation players have started playing(like Sampras) but he's still the same old. hehe

[ctaulbee]

John's big problem was he played in the Borg era, hard shine with a light like that around...

Ex-Raiders QB Todd Marinovich making comeback at 48


Former Los Angeles Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich is returning to play football at the age of 48.

Marinovich played his college ball at the University of Southern California before he was drafted in the first round of the 1991 NFL draft by the Raiders.


He was a product of an abusive household who trained him to become an NFL quarterback since the day he was born. Unfortunately, the immense pressure seemed to finally catch up to him as he turned to drug use.

During his last year at USC, he was arrested for cocaine possession, yet still decided to enter the draft.

Once he got to the league, he played in a few games, but his drug addiction took over his life and pushed him of the NFL rather quickly.

Now, Marinovich believes he has actually recovered from his addiction after he was arrested last year walking naked around someone's backyard. He has tried to rehabilitate himself before, but he believes he finally made a lifestyle change that will keep him sober.

With his personal life in better standing, he can focus on his return to the game of football. Marinovich is set to be a part of the SoCal Coyotes, a developmental football team, who have their first practice on Aug. 10.

Hopefully, Marinovich has actually recovered from his addiction and can begin to show what kind of player he could have been if drugs didn't force his life to go sideways.

[ctaulbee]

OK let's examine the facts, he's been a addict since college, it cost him a NFL career and he is now 48 years old and let's not forget the big kicker here--

"Marinovich believes he has actually recovered from his addiction after he was arrested last year walking naked around someone's backyard."

What is that approximately 30 years of drug use and arrested "last year" again, no he's done, he's been done, he's the only one who does not know it yet apparently lmao.

[bankska22]

I wish him all the luck in the world. Steelers may need a QB soon.

[ctaulbee]

Steelers may need a QB soon.

Big Ben is only 35 by the above comparison he has 13 more years left in him lmao...

It wasn't the Borg era as you say. There was no dominant player in that era. There was McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Borg and Lendl.

They all divided pretty much all the grand slam tournaments among themselves.

Now that is a Warriors fan right there    :-$  :-$

I am sure she has great ball handling skills.

[ctaulbee]

I'm betting so...

[jamshedt]

Back to tennis !!!
Nadal's out, Murray's out, Djko retired hurt & Fed's the only one left.
Could this be #19.....

[alienmem]

It probably will. I see no one beating him now.

[topmeasure]

The way he's playing right now, I can't see anyone stopping him. He hasn't lost a set yet and he schooled Dimitrov and Raonic.

[jamshedt]

cant argue there... Dimitrov though an exceptional player was given a lesson in you can dress like me on court but you cant play like me... Raonic got sent to the principals office and then a letter to go home...Tomas Berdych could be a different game altogether

[topmeasure]

The Federer master class continued today.

[jamshedt]

Through to the final without dropping a set !! Man what a match

[alienmem]

Betting 10 grand on him to win the final 3-0

[ctaulbee]

Federer is the man!
