Wimbledon’s Switzerland vs. Spain match-up was not a built-in ratings boon in the States. But as the match drew on and phone calls were made between friends and relatives, we all found ourselves in awe of these men and—even during the US Open—somehow conflicted over whom we should root for.
Both sporting events were historical; the kind that spawn the “I remember where I was…” conversations five and ten years later.
Both were marathons; Tiger’s come-from-behind putts creating a tiebreaker to break a tiebreaker, and two rain delays sprinkled in between Federer’s numerous back-to-the-wall refusals to accept his eventual fate.

In half a year's time, we've seen an unforgettable Super Bowl, a Lakers/Celtics NBA Final, and now golf and tennis step up and give us two of their greatest, and longest, offerings ever.
And to think that NCAA college football rules committee members are still tinkering with ways to make our Saturday afternoon football games shorter…
Seven. Seventeen.
Twenty-one. Twenty-seven.
Forty-two. Fifty.
Since I skipped last week's Haiku offering, I thought I could make it up by giving away some lottery numbers. These are correct, by the way.
Just make sure you're in the right state.
