...All the Words Past the Margins

A random assortment of stuff

- It's mostly been a lot of "meh" at Wimbledon so far, but today's match between Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick was quite an enjoyable exception. Five sets, all of them close, with a very high standard of play. Roddick's victory sets up a semifinal with Andy Murray, who he's beaten just twice in eight attempts. Tommy Haas upset Novak Djokavic in four sets to set up a semi with some guy named Roger.

- So, it looks like Ben Gordon (and Charlie Villanueva) might end up in Detroit. This is just a bit lamer than getting Bosh, Wade, or LeBron, I guess.

- Nacional-Estudiantes and Inter-Corinthians tonight. Estudiantes beat Nacional 1-0 in the first leg of their Copa Libertadores semifinal, and Corinthians take a 2-0 advantage into tonight's second leg of the Copa do Brasil final. Both ties are still pretty wide open, so it should be pretty good stuff. Basically, it's just sort of nice to have meaningful club football.

- Rudy to return to Europe? Alright, probably not. But, still, it seems sort of bizarre for this rumor to even exist.
