Required Reading

• Christopher Clarey previews the WTF field.
• I really enjoyed this back and forth between Tignor and Kamakshi on Fed and Rafa fandom.  I know, I know, you don't want to read yet another piece of crap about Fed and Rafa, but really, I liked this more on the ruminations on tennis fandom than anything specific to them.
• I didn't read the article.  I was...distracted.
• The ATP is looking to shorten its season.  So...is John McEnroe going to retract his comments about women's bodies being too weak for the game?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  
• Awww...Fed saying nice things about Moose while still sliding in the fact that he was more successful than Andy at his age.  How nice.
• Another broad accusation that taints the entire tour, leads to wild speculation, and provides no names or detail.  No details, no care.
• Breaking News: "Kids suck!", says old man.  Get him a lawn chair and a shotgun.
• 90 years young and still crackin' it.  Awesome.
• Non-Required Viewing: Harry Potter, recut by someone as juvenile as me.
• Non-Required Reading: The description of Rahm.  Dead.
• Non-Required Reading: We've gone from bullying gays to bullying girls who like Star Wars?  WHAT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN?!?!?!?  Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi.  You're my only hope.
• Non-Required "Reading": The Smart Girls' Guide To The World's Sexiest Men.  COSIGN.
