Blogosphere; US Open Tennis; tonight NBC is crying inside

NBC's ugly stepsister network ( which I love, umm hello? Burn Notice ROCKS!) is getting it's moment in the sun tonight; a MUCH anticipated US Open ladies quarterfinal match up between two of the sports premiere players who happen to have the same last name. Venus vs. Serena. Had Serena NOT played the tune up tournament in Hartford prior to the Open, she would have been on the other side of the bracket; giving NBC the rights to a probably 10 times more lucrative Williams v. Williams final. Win one for the little guys, and big strong women athletes, tonight.
