Matt Leinart is guest editor of ESPN The Magazine and promptly falls off the NFL map while Kurt Warner resurrects the franchise in Arizona. Chad Johnson follows in Leinart's footsteps and ends arguably his worst professional season crying to T.J. Houshmandzadeh. And now after her stint dressing Matthew Stafford, Maria Sharapova is out early at Wimbledon.
We're not saying; we're just saying.- Sharapova is only 22, but SportsNation isn't sure if she will win another grand slam.
- The Russian's early exit removes the most visible target in the great, grunting drama at a suddenly quieter Wimbledon, but SportsNation commenter TNtennisLovey says the solution begins long before the game hits the big stage:
Part of the USTA challenge when introducing new players to tennis should include tennis etiquette, sportsmanship and though tennis is regarded as an individual sport, how to be a team player. Most of us will never reach a national ranking but if you do, you don't get their alone. Some of the greatest players in the world don't need this guttural expression. This sport needs young men and women who incorporate the long standing rules of graciousness all while being a fierce competitor - no grunting needed. -- Join the conversation.
“This isn't an upset at all. Sharapova is finished and will never win again.... Her shoulder is done and she needs to go on to another career.
” -- Ashy-Larry
“I still don't understand - why [Sharapova] didn't appear to work on her leg strength and speed during her shoulder recovery - what a perfect time to do it; maybe she did; but she is clearly not moving any better than before - if that
