An Open Letter From Roger Ebert To Jay Mariotti Mariotti is an easy target at the best of times, but his abrupt departure from the Chicago Sun-Times, right after they paid his way to China for the Olympics, left his most distinguished now-former colleague more than a little out of joint. And no one writes a screw-you letter like Roger Ebert.

Serena won't play Indian Wells; WTA's new rule won't change it Serena and Venus Williams' ongoing boycott of the Pacific Life Open at Indian Wells, Calif., could jeopardize their participation at other tournaments under recently adopted rules for mandatory events set to kick in next year. (edit) The Williams sisters have steadfastly declined to participate at the Pacific Life Open since 2001. That year, Venus defaulted to Serena minutes before their semifinal started. Spectators subsequently jeered Serena in the final. The sisters and their father, Richard, have said they believe the crowd's actions were racially motivated.

Their are plenty of examples of bad or questionable Tennis parent.. From Jimbo's mom to Martina Hingis's .. etc. How u can hold whatever statements from RIchard against his daughters is laughable. If serena feels she was treated disrespectfully at Indian Wells then its Indian Wells loss that neither of the Williams sisters will play their. Hey we hear all the time how certain people are sick of em.. will here u go.. a full tournament without either. I think they should continue to ignore the event and move on. And shoot if they are willing to play each other on Centre court why wouldn't they play each other at indian wells??

Sonics are Oklahoma City-bound "The transition and move of this team begins tomorrow morning," Bennett said in Oklahoma City, where he announced that season ticket sales for the soon-to-be named franchise at Ford Center would begin Thursday.

Ahhh Jay Mariotti the man who came to Chicago and immediately attempted to make his name by criticizing Micheal Jordan for being selfish and not visiting the President.
Jay you are a funny caricature as you make your all to frequent appearances screaming on that annoying ESPN show. I'm sure you're lobbying for the Sportsreporters show as that loud Pat Buchanana version of the bombastic idiot. As someone who keeps up with the Trib and the Times from the ATL its good to see you calling the death of the Newspaper.. nothing assures me of its longevity than that..
