Required Reading

• The Brits are very excited about their young talent.  Deservedly so.  I wish there were young Americans I liked as much as those two.
• I don't know.  Just because you slap a "It's For Charity!" label on it, doesn't mean it's not gross or weird.
• In case you missed the Groth Cuss-Fest, here you go.  Hilarious.
• Tignor's thoughts on Fed and Sod.  I agree, both look absolutely ruthless right now.
• Slapstick?  They were excited!  They shaved their heads!  Why piss on the moment?
• The WTA 2012 calendar is weird.  That's pretty much all I can understand at the moment.
• Grigor says sorry.  Good boy.
• Vera and Kim have a shot at the #1 ranking in Melbourne.
• Had she waited, Alexandra Willis would have been able to add "Cross-dressing" to the list.  But this pretty much sums up why Hopman Cup is awesome.
• Upside, Downside.
• Tignor and Tandon talk Buy/Sell.
• SI's experts make their predictions for 2011.
• Nole crushing on Andy.  
• "It was a little stink." Heh.
• Non-Required Reading: Being down here in Australia it's impossible to escape the news of the devestating floods in Queensland.  I'm sitting here typing and there's a picture of a rescue worker holing a three week old baby that was rescued by helicopter.  People are dying, hundreds are missing, and thousands of homes have been destroyed.  So if you can, please donate to the relief efforts.
