Ladies & gentlemen, Rafael Nadal…NADAL…
Cannot picture John Daly or Craig ‘The Walrus’ Stadler being able to go sideline-to-sideline, corner-to-corner, without risking serious injury. Would have to say that golf’s athletes are not of the same fitness as tennis’s. That said, Señor Nadal here might just as easily have been a professional footballer — plus, on his days off from the court, Rafa is rated an 11-handicap on the fairways. Not bad. Golf might be too slow for him, probably. After all, in the time it takes his countryman Sergio Garcia to address the ball on the tee, Nadal has already whipped two or three heavy-topspin forehands. ¡Vamos, Rafa!

Since you originally posted this, the Pens have again put their upstart intrastate rivals in their proper place, even with The Flower out. Pens among the top three chances of hoisting this year’s Cup, behind La-La Land and Anaheim. Thank you.
