It's tough to find a place to dive in after a weekend like we just watched. We'll get to the good (Mark Sanchez), the bad (Jay Cutler) and the ugly (still Jay Cutler) of the gridiron eventually, but when arguably the greatest tennis player of all time says he hit the greatest single shot of his career, well, you've got our attention, Mr. Federer.

Federer not only went between the legs for his winner against Novak Djokovic, he did it to earn match point in a contest that was closer -- and way more entertaining, thanks to Djokovic's antics -- than straight sets indicate.

The catch is the shot of Federer's career and a strong candidate for play of the year in sports might not have even been the best play of Sunday afternoon. Not with Brandon Stokley pulling in the miracle tip against the Bengals and pulling out an old video-game move by running across the field at the one-yard line to kill time.

Dear Lord! Wow. I loved this match and the way Roger Federer ended the match to win the match point was perfect. It was spectacular and awesome; and I also agree that it was unbelievable. What a way to end a match.

guess that is how Orton throws the deep ball. Like hitting it off the cart path on your drive.

  • Mosley Let's not get ahead of yourself, young Alan. Geez!
  • Jim (North Jersey)What do you think of the young depth at WR for the Giants? Smith Manningham and Nicks all loook great right now.
  • Mosley Looks pretty good. Manningham needs to become more consistent, but he has big-play potential. Nicks is a star in the making. Sort of reminds me of Boldin -- but he's faster. Not quite as think and powerful.
  • Mike (New Orleans)MM, I know all of the writers say they don't root for any particular team, but growing up, i'm sure most of them were fans of a particular team. I would find it difficult to abandon my fanship for my job. I would be able to appreciate what other teams do and still be objective, but completely stop cheering for my team would be tough. So....who do you cheer for in your youth?
