    Maybe it's front-page news because this is the most boring US Open ever -- so far.

    That was no slow-news-day story. That was Yahoo! and ESPN bringing their supermarket-tabloid sensationalism to TV and home pages everywhere.

    A few years ago, this WAS just a note. Because it's Nadal, and the U.S. Open, Yahoo!, ESPN and even the AP decided to create this as a dramatic event. I saw a dozen or so kids "collapse" a couple of nights ago because of cramps on a hot high school field. A good, thorough rubdown and some water later, they were all back in the game.

    Times have changed in our business, and not for the better. Beyond this, does anyone else think after Nadal wins his next match that it will be written that he "overcame adversity"? Or that it will be considered "heroic"? Seen it before.

    Nadal needs to drink pickle juice, just like the BYU football team. ESPN mentions that tidbit during every BYU game it broadcasts in September.

    I'm just here to say Cubbiebum's avatar is the greatest thing since ... well, since Pickle Juice.

    Worse cramp (male version), toe cramps in the middle of the night. Brutal.

    They're just blowing it out of proportion because it happened in New York.
