...Clayton put Sroczynski’s 120 mile per hour bullets to the corners of the service box back into play, and used his quickness to put himself on equal strategic footing. He also took advantage of his opponent’s relatively limited agility to rack up quick points using his increasingly dangerous arsenal of groundstrokes.“You’ve just got to wait for your opportunities,” Clayton said of his service return strategy. “Sooner or later, he’s going to give you some second serves, and that?...

This is why a star wouldn't take this invite, wouldn't be here, staring at a red-raw-inedible piece of meat. He says it's fine.

He called it the Ex. "It was cathartic," he says. Others apparently think so too; it now comes in six different colors, retails for $120 and is one of the firm's top sellers. Schmidt's online breakup boutique sells mugs that say things like BOO FRICKIN' HOO and books...

...Translated once more - and, this time, into harder-headed politics - it means that if they can stay in the race, both Obama and Clinton will continue to rack up convention delegates through the spring, regardless of who comes in first in each state. A second-place finish still gets you delegates. Which means that for either candidate to secure the 2,025 delegates needed to capture the nomination could take much longer than either campaign has bargained...
